We traded real assets for literally the worst starting QB in the NFL in recent years. There was nothing smart about that. Now the new Jets QB might be the worst starting QB in recent years. Hell, know what I'd do? Find out who the Jets' QB1 is and definitely NOT draft that guy.

Two questions... do you know what "in a vacuum" means and you realize the outcome of something doesn't mean something else was a bad decision, right?

Trading a conditional 5th round pick for a QB just a year removed from carrying the freaking Browns to the playoffs, is 100% a smart decision, no matter how it ended up, it was the correct call and risk to make at the time.

The Darnold trade was more questionable, but still the correct and smart decision at the time.  Sure, in the end it sucked to lose the 2nd rounder we gave up, but the 4th and 6th rounders in the deal are closer to throwaways than real losses.

And in the situation we were in at QB, a 2nd round pick for someone who still had legit starting potential at the time, was again, absolutely a smart risk to take.

No, they didn't work out in the end and the two trades stacked on top of each other do compound each decision individually to make it worse, but that's why "in a vacuum" they were the correct and smart decisions at the time.

Was drafting Ryan Leaf the smart decision for the Chargers at the time?  

Of course it was

Was it a good decision that worked out when looking back?

Of course it wasn't

Doesn't mean it wasn't the smart decision at the time.

It was a joke.

Like the idea of trading for Sam Darnold and negotiating against ourselves. That was also a joke.

Thomas Davis said there is a contingent that loves Richardson...IE no one in the media knows for sure who the Panthers want and I like it. 

That ‘contingent’ was the equipment manager and the guy who paints the white lines on the field.

Remember, the last owner to get involved in the decision to draft a QB was

He picked RGIII.

Last Qb he picked was Dwayne Haskins actually

And picking up his 5th year option before the draft….

If Tepper loves Young then draft Stroud ASAP!

 

Tepper QB resume so far washed Cam, Bridgewater, Darnold, Mayfield, xfl legend PJ Walker...

 

 

I think those are Rhule QBs. Tepper wanted Watson and liked Fields.

Caldwell, Brown and McCown need to determine the pick.

Tepper, his wife, Reich and Fit need to stay the fug out of it.

So the head coach and the man ultimately in charge of the offense the one calling plays this year should stay tf out it hmmmm sounds crazy to me.

.

Darnold trade was pure idiotic he was 30th in QBR before coming here next season here, he was 31st lol. It made no sense to get Sam but Matt had the wool pulled over DT eyes

And then RG III said that we're the ideal landing spot for the incoming QB...

Oh Jason LaConfakenews?

Who hired Rhule?

 

No disrespect to Tepper but let the football guys make the decisions. Don't become Jerry Jones of the South.

Oh I agree he needs to let the football guys make football decisions, but that is what he did with Rhule. At the end of the day if he doesn’t trust his GM and HC to make the right call, he hired the wrong people which I don’t think is the case.

waaaaayyyy too late man

You can't go wrong with either one.

Neither would be a collosal mistake.

Both will be elite.

Usually I would agree but I get the feeling CJ is favored because he’s a better fit for what Reich likes to run on offense and not because he’s the better QB 

Shouldn’t we be picking the QB that is the better fit for Reich’s offensive scheme?  Should we be picking someone who is a lesser fit?

Make it make sense, please.
