Trading for a QB who's career is hanging in the balance wouldn't be a good move. He'd seal his fate if he traded a king's ransom for a guy who ends up in the commissioner's exempt list as soon as we tried to suit him up.

I want to win. I REALLY want to win. But I have no interest in Watson until there some (a lot) of clarification to the Watson situation. Maybe it makes me a bad fan, but I don't have any interest in cheering for a fuging serial sexual predator.

No, I agree with you in it being a moral and ethical dilemma.  But, this is the NFL.  I have no interest in cheering on a guy who may have done the things he has done, although is he innocent until proven guilty, and I don't like the optics of it either.  But, you either do whatever it takes to win, or you will be unemployed and without a QB, you aren't winning.

Rhule's claim that he believed Sam was going to be a a great QB for the Panthers just spontaneously combusted right in his face within days and he can't fall back on that anymore with Sam being benched.

I think Tepper would be willing to take the gamble to give Rhule one last reprieve from his burning seat - a proven, franchise QB - and if he can't turn things around with him, he and his staff are canned.

And honestly, as this point, I think you make the move regardless of what the staff thinks because they won't be here much longer anyway.

No. You don't bury this franchise into the negative. You cut rhule and let fitterer being in his guy.

There are things bigger than football and winning. This is bigger than football and winning. Maintaining even the presumption of innocence is near impossible with the amount and nature of the allegations. I want the team to win but I'll never root for a team that will sell its soul to do it.

Leveraging more of our future to trade for yet another Quarterback, especially with his current future uncertainty, would be an astronomically stupid idea. We are not a QB away and we're already low on assets with which to try and fix our problems. 

I agree, but this ship is already sinking.  And again, its not looking like the staff will be around to go down with it if this keeps up.   And we could just as well blow the dame amount of draft picks trying to find a franchise QB and still fail if we take that route. 

But, I don't expect it to cost a king's ransom, as this is also with the idea in mind that Houston doesn't have much leverage either.  He doesn't want to be there, he has legal troubles hanging over him, and he will not play another down for them...  it can only end one way, it's a matter of the price to play.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
