The bidding war thing, it's not like they're going to offer a billion dollars.  Most owners in the league can afford to be aggressive in the bidding war.  It's more about not wanting to piss off other owners by driving up the price on coach contracts as well as taking a risk on how long of a contract to offer.  The Gruden fiasco might have made owners shy about offering such long contracts, but Tepper showed with Rhule he doesn't mind sinking a bunch of money just because he offered a long contract.  Glad we have an owner that doesn't stubbornly stick to mistakes, and also isn't so impatient that he cuts bait at the first sign of adversity.

I trust Allbright 100 times out of 100 over Kunkel

I don't trust either, but the Broncos certainly are worse situation, tied to a bad QB for quite a while.  I'd say our QB situation is better just because we have freedom to do whatever he wants at QB rather than being saddled with a bad one that they can't cut.  And even not considering their bad QB situation, their roster isn't nearly as good as ours.  We'd HAVE to be a more attractive situation than Denver.

Comparing the three teams: on paper broncos maybe and I mean maybe have the better roster than the panthers. but they are better than Indy. Panthers have more draft picks than Indy and Denver. Cap space, I’m not sure on. I think indy leads the way on that but after next year we are looking at the most we have ever had. Also, with some cuts and restructures, we are in god shape for this coming season. Looking at all that, to me, we have the edge. It all just depends on where he wants to go. 
 

I’ve heard for a few weeks now Indy is it bc he has ties there and if I’m not mistaken he’s close with Irsay. I live near Indy so all my friends are Colts fans and I’m just saying what they are hearing.

Ben mentioned yesterday that we are more attractive then Denver as well and he’s a Denver media guy.

Broncos want him too and they can outbid all of us plus the teams put together 

Why do some of y'all believe that the billionaire with the most money is the one that's going to win the bidding war? We're talking billions, not even millions, and certainly not thousands, hundreds or tens. This isn't eBay with a bunch of broke folks. All of these owners can win this thing, and it probably won't even come down to a relatively few millions, it will likely come down to other, or at least additional, aspects of the contract. The potential winner of the bidding war could easily win Harbaugh, but lose the battle by grossly overpaying and overvaluing Harbaugh's services while a less expensive candidate actually leads his team to a championship. No one, even if they are loaded, wants to do that. Potential bidders are keenly aware of that possibility, and that's probably what will keep any money offered within the realm of practicality. All of these guys can afford to pay outrageous money, but they don't want to look like fools.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
