Well, you were gonna make sure of it one way or the other so what are you even containing about?

It always baffles me when posters seek to initiate the derails that they bitch about.

He complains to no end about haters but this man fully went on a milk carton for a week after the Cowboys loss. Didn't even stick around for the second half. It's hilarious.

Putting vets on your team doesn't stop you from getting developmental prospects. If anything it helps enable it.

 

I'd be hard pressed to find a complaint for a character Mack in the locker room as long as we still start building for the future. 

It does in a hard cap league. Every dime you spend on guys in the final years of their careers is a dime you don't have to spend on younger talent. You only have so many draft picks. I just think it should be a Clowney or Mack question, not both. That would just be too much cap tied up in aging vets at one position group. If we got Mack I'd let Clowney go.

You act as if just throwing money to younger talent doesn't have risks too. Every move has its own risks and rewards. Kalil Mack isn't just an ordinary veteran and could have a Thielen like presence on or defense. 

The best available young FA at the position is Chase Young. Who has already turned us down and under performed. After that it's Josh Sweat. Unless you think you're gonna hit it big on someone like Higgins this FA, or want to pay for OL more in the FA, Mack and Higgins doesn't hurt long term plans esp since Clowney expries next year anyway.

Oh wow, I completely forgot that Mack was in the same draft class as Clowney. It is wild looking at some of the names from that year.

 

I member Mike mycock, said he'd rather draft Mack over Clowney and no one else in the world agreed with him...... Ended up being right.

I’d rather extend Moton and tell Mack and clowney to go kick rocks. If we don’t walk away with 2+ DTs AND 2+ Edge from this draft, it’s a fail.

Watch out for this name- Michael Hoecht OLB. Rams top backup edge and they hired a rams coach for Intel. If the market doesn't get crazy, I think Panthers will make a strong effort. He's "young" too. Just soooo many teams have around 50-80 in cap space, while the Panthers are around 30 with cuts.....

No, I'm not. That's just how you're reading it. I'm just saying resources are finite and I'd only want to pay one of Clowney or Mack.

And my response is there is a world where both can co exist, I think both will be fine for the locker room. Neither are full time starters and better as situational guys at this point. But with our crippling lack of any discernable pass rush talent we need depth and technique more than anything else. Even if we go pass rush at 8 it's not a bad start to tie up some cap in pass rush for the year.

How are we in year 3 of a rookie qb contract that we traded a kings ransom for not in a "win now" mode?

I believe common sense says you pay more attention to your current talent level than past deals to dictact what mode you are in - pretty sure that puts us in the build mode.

      Everyone Pushing to Draft Yet Another WR Early

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Because this all stemmed from projecting the type of player a draft prospect could become.  It's impossible to project a career/legacy, too many unknown factors You said Mike Evans was one of the best WRs of the last decade.  I was saying he only is because of the entirety of his career, not because he was ever actually one of the best WRs in the league at any given time.  Mike Evans is not going to be a HOFer because he was an elite WR, it's going to be because he was a very good one for a long time, the same way Gore will be in the HOF. All those players from the last decade were guys who had peak seasons of being a better player than Evans, but whether health, the QB/team, something else, or still just too young in their career, they couldn't sustain it long enough to have the same career as him, but at one time or another, they were better than Evans. I'm saying T-Mac is going to be an elite WR, his peak will be better than Evans best season(s), just like those guys I listed.  But I'm not predicting he'll be a HOFer because that's just nonsense to predict of almost any prospect in the NFL.  You need to be a Wemby type of prospect to really be worthy of actually being expected to be a HOF player before you even get drafted. And it's no knock on Evans or his career.  There is nothing wrong with not ever being one of the best WRs at any time, but being so good for so long that you still get into the HOF.  Combine that with a ring and it's a career that anyone would take coming out from college, even if they aspire to have a better peak.
