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.

      After Day three.... New draft strategy?

      By Murph · Posted

      I’m going with Nick Emmanwori as the pick right now. Charlie Campbell has him ranked 5th on his post combine big board and another safety is needed.

      Morgan as GM so far

      That is ridiculous on several levels. First of all you have to spend 90% of your cap space every year so the idea you can just not spend it every year is against the CBA. Secondly your job is to assemble the best team you can for the fans players and team. Not to save money for the owner.  Third many players who are considered great underperform while others like Luvu and Jackson have overperformed. What about a  great player like Derek Brown who was injured and missed all of last year. Was he a waste of money?? Sure pay DK a fools ransom and hope he stays healthy. He didn't even get 1000 yards last year which averages out to 60 yards a game or play all 16 games.  And lets be real, Jones and Watson aren't  great but they aren't being paid that much either. Real glad you aren't the GM.

      Not necessarily, they very well could just be waiting on the players who will get cut in the coming weeks/months as cap casualties and wanting to have the cap room to be able to offer more than other teams (likely our best shot at finding immediate pass rushing help for next year at this point). Also wouldn't be the end of the world to try and roll some cap into next offseason to have more space to go after bigger FA's. That's a better move than signing guys who really won't help much more than whoever else we can get on minimum or rookie deals.
