It's a concern. Not a chief concern, but it is just one of a good few that I'm not crazy about the idea of that pick. And I do think it's a bigger deal than Brady having short arms and quite a bit hypocritical of Rhule if he drafts Pickett for the most important job on the team in spite of that after having made such a big deal about Brady.

Small hands on a bigger ball is a bigger deal, especially for a guy that's going to have his hands on the ball every play....playing behind thus OL. Oye.

I said legit starters might give us a chance, not a legit chance. Just a chance. If they can keep darnold from freaking out and if he doesn't lose his security blanket (CMC) then he might be more of what we saw the first few weeks. I don't want to take that risk, though.

Well...there was Minshew in Jacksonville.

Campen better be teaching this to noob Rhule and Rhule better be listening.

It should be all OL. If we can get 3 LEGIT starters out of this draft we might have a chance at not sucking. But I agree, Rule doesn't have the luxury of developing a young QB (not that he's capable of it anyway) and he also can't risk drafting a QB and hoping he's ready to go out of the gate. So QB probably won't be the pick at 6. All that to say.... Our first pick will probably be another corner.

OL helps the QB out. Then get a better OL....and a better QB.

Same here. They can say all the right things, but evidence on the field shows they are inept. Show me you're not inept on the field and ill believe it, but until then it's all just talk. And even then, at this stage they're all just playing a game and shouldn't be believed. Basically there's nothing you can accurately glean from this or anything they say.

He's an optimism buzz killer. Any hope you have of something positive happening that's good for the team, once you remember that rule is calling the shots it all falls apart.

Was he worth a first round? Considering how good he was and how long he played, was he worth a first round pick?

Sure why not? No way Philly offers or accepts it, but yeah.... I'd probably bite. Real problem is....who is making the pick and do you trust them?

Yeah, even Rule can see (at least I hope he can see) that he doesn't have the luxury of years to develop a QB. He's on borrowed time. Whoever he gets has to have an immediate impact.

Yow I didn't even think of that! Charge down the field getting into the RedZone only to get decimated. Pickett's charge fails again. To me that name sounds like an invitation to opposing secondaries. "Just pick it"

Further evidence its going to be a corner.

Anyone else think that 'Pickett' is a bad name for a QB? Would be great for a CB, though.

But Rule was a football guy....whatever that means. Sounds good tho. Good enough for a 7 year deal I guess.

So how long will it take for Tepper to be embarrassed enough to fire Rhule? And who, among this staff, would be the best temp replacement? Bye week.... whenever that is....seems as good a week as any. Probably will end up being after Thanksgiving though. As for the who..... I'd roll with Wilks. Failure in 'zona was hardly his fault and while I wanted Rhule fired in his second year...at least hecwas given a second year. I won't get into some of the reasons I think he was fired after one year. *cough* double standard*cough* Anyways...barring some miraculous transformation that turns us into 10+ win team making a deep run in the playoffs...that's what I'm thinking.

Brain trust responsible for it creates a lot of talking points.

So in 10 years we might have a competitive team again. Yay.

And then there the Hurney thing.

Not firing him.

Not a good mix.

It's a short term league.

The cap was in great shape until it wasn't. Bad decisions net bad results.

Garappolo would become Garopplegic behind this OL.
