Re: 2024 NFL Draft

So to say he hasn’t been planning for the future is just complete nonsense and narrow minded thinking. It gets tiresome to read post after post. It’s time to open up your mind to a bigger picture. Tell me how he's planned for the future at QB to this point? You dance on the line of disrespectful po...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

It's almost like they assumed they could just keep adding on short term to keep Cousins around while kicking the replacement can down the road, only Cousins apparently no longer was interested in the shorter term deals he seemed to prefer when he was a younger man with more road in front of him. I ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

The contrast between the media evaluation of players, which is known to us, and the team's internal evaluations, which are not known to us, drive most of the passionate opinions come draft day. A GM can make all the right decisions and the outcome still be terrible. This is because so much depends ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Thirteen of the 67 quarterbacks who will have started a Super Bowl by Sunday were the top picks in their respective drafts. That includes 11 No. 1 selections in the standard NFL draft, a No. 1 pick in the 1965 AFL Draft (Joe Namath) and the top choice in the NFL’s supplemental draft in 1984 (Steve ...

Re: Justin Jefferson

I messed up the structure of my last post. Not very good with technology. And I’m only 35! It's not really "technology", it's just a tag system. Image links go between an image tag, quotes go between a quote tag, to bold text it goes between the bold tag, etc. It's pretty simple but I cou...

I dont agree with Char much. This is a case I do.
Good point, I apologize. My fault. Only the draft from here on out.

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Baseless nonsense. 1 career playoff win in 5 tries. All pro level players at all skill positions and both tackle positions and still can’t get it done. For the kind of money he is demanding he needs to elevate the entire offense with lesser talent because they can’t afford to pay them all when he i...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I not ecstatic at all by letting a good QB walk out the door. That $hit show last year was unwatchable. And if anyone thinks these top 6 are all going to be better than Cousins forget it. I've seen this drill many times. Cousins is very good. We've got maybe a 20% chance of drafting somebody as goo...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I think it will be Penix. He has the most experience and is the most ready pick and play guy for this year. Upside is limited. The thing that just jumps off the tape with Penix is the speed of his delivery. He barely looks like he's winding up and the ball is out and on a rope pretty much anywhere ...

Re: Justin Jefferson

Management has been very consistent and forceful in expressing their refusal to trade him. If he demands a trade that would get a the ball rolling. Until then I see no reason to think it's imminent. In my opinion they would be better off trading him for great compensation than paying him 34 million...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Thankfully its in the past and we have a GM that has a different philosophy on how to build a team, the draft is just 1 tool in team building so when people say we are mortgaging our future if we use all our first and second round picks for 2 years to get “our guy” at QB in the draft, I just cannot...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

That's what FA is. The top available will be overpaid because it's an auction. Look what that Falcon team just paid a good QB coming off an injury. The Falcons draft of a tier 2 QB didn't work. That 2017 team had the number 1 D and then in 2018 it dropped to 17. That's a huge decline year over year...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

How has KAM addressed that though? He extended Cousins again and has made some pretty questionable moves both in the draft and in free agency thus far. By all accounts KOC and he wanted to keep Cousins around longer, too, only they weren't willing to hand him another huge guaranteed deal for 4 year...
