The problem is that is a loaded statement on my part.  The coach is Jon Gruden.  He has wanted to trade Carr since day one.  If Mariota becomes the starting QB, then he will want to trade Mariota.  If Mahomes were to wind up in Las Vegas after Mariota, he would want to trade Mahomes.  The man has never met a QB he didn't want to unload.

I have heard that for 2 years now.  Not sure they know what they are doing

There were reports that they were shopping Carr because conditions related to his contract were more favorable to that this year than in prior years.

More recently I've seen it suggested that they'd rather keep Carr and trade Mariota.

You're right though. It's Gruden. Next week he'll probably be ready to start Nathan Peterman.

They don't. 

Gruden could have Rodgers, Mahomes, and Brady in the QB stable and he would want to unload all three, in order of who started last.  I think he uses the philosophy about QBs that he is not happy unless he is not happy.  Or, perhaps if he stops complaining about his QB, somebody might get the idea the problem is him. 

It is another level of "missed opportunities."

We wouldn't be shipping Theodore there and Mariota's contract is 8.8/yr.  Unsure how it all widdles down but that's more than the savings post-dead money hit in the event we release Teddy.  Doesn't make sense $$$ wise.  He's also a mythical creature.

Jon Gruden's reputation as a quarterback guru is also mythical.

I started to comment earlier that I was in favor of giving Mariota a look last year, largely because he probably could be had for cheap and I was not convinced he had been given a reasonable shot to succeed in Tennessee. 

When I thought about extending that to this year, especially given our one-layer deep QB depth chart, I looked at the cap numbers.  I could not come to terms with the numbers, either.

Let's accept a different version of mediocrity!

I don't think that's it. With so many teams needing or desiring a franchise QB--or at least an upgrade--and so few options available, they're probably scouring film for one they can fix and essentially throwing poo on a wall to see if it sticks. "There has to be that Tannehill (or maybe Cousins) out there somewhere."

People were expecting a pretty crazy quarterback carousel this year. Now I'm not so sure.

Seems like the Stafford deal skewed everybody's expectations a little bit. Now some teams are thinking "hey if they got that, we can get it too" even though their quarterbacks don't have anywhere near the ability that Stafford does.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      been living in town since March of last year after spending 15+ years out on a farm in the middle of nowhere.  Snow was beautiful out there, but always meant a lot of work dealing with the long driveway and long dirt road out and onto paved roads that were the last in the county to get plowed. On normal days it always took 20 minutes to get anywhere. when it snowed...yeah. forget about it for a couple days. still had to go to work, so i'd have to drive on all these narrow and windy snow covered backroads after dealing with my driveway and putting up with the nasty red mud slush on the dirt road. if there was an emergency or some kind of urgent issue that required you having someone drive in or going out, it was just a major stressor.  anyways, i'm just looking forward to snow in the new house in town, where my driveway is really short and the roads are plowed. i want snow that requires no work or stress on me. most people probably love the idea of being snowed in out in the country. been there. done that. i'm looking forward to snow coming in town and being able to get out and about if i need. hopefully we have some this year.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't think it will be a complete stomping at all. That's not really the 2024 KC team. They have only scored 30 points once this season(shootout versus TB) and their biggest margin of victory has been 13(vs. the Saints). I guess they clearly show better versus the NFC South but not THAT good. Not by their recent years standard.
