Speaking of which, Beaux Nix is our QB next year. Yikes.

Keep the SB away from Sean McVay or else we'll never hear the end of it. Help us Joe, you're our only hope

Zac Taylor is off the McVay coaching tree.

Think I’m pulling for the Rams. Stafford was a good trooper in a bad situation in Detroit for a while. I have nothing against him

I can see Burrows being the face of the NFL in a few years so I don’t get the underdog story. It was a weird year in the NFL

His tree winning is perfectly fine, if not more hilarious, if he doesn't win

Embrace him. He's good for football and sports in general.

 

[DancingPanther]

Embrace him.

No

This year has shown the pendulum is swinging back to defense, not that anyone is going to shut down a top offense, but if you take away the big play and make some stops, you can beat anyone. Defenses took away top players, forcing secondary skill players to come up big or go home.

Garoppolo really sucked and SF still should have won it, b/c Stafford showed a strong arm isn't enough, he made some bonehead throws but got really lucky.
Mahomes looked like vintage Hurts with his 360 in the pocket. So he's human.
Burrows is smart and accurate, but I don't see the big arm.

What did stand out to me was the value of players who can make plays underneath, especially guys who can get RAC on those slants and dump offs.
As defenses get lighter and faster in the back seven, guys who can break tackles and power runners will have more value.

Daboll starting off his PC by saying that his offensive philosophy will depend on the players...

10 seconds on the job and he's already blaming his GM!

Do they have a GM?

How is that blaming his GM?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Do they have a GM?

Yes, Joe Schoen (AGM of the Bills).

You couldn’t pay me to take that job. They’re so far gone. They’re essentially what happens in Madden in your 8th year of your franchise where your cap is so screwed you just quit.

 

[RockLobster]

I'm rooting for Burrow and the Bengals. After they came back and won against KC, I was hoping SF would win and we'd get a matchup that the NFL probably didn't want.

Plus, f*** Kroenke (yes, I'm aware he owns the Avalanche...he's a good hockey owner in that he stays out of the way and just signs the checks, but f*** him)

The cap experts say their cap situation isn’t as bad as the raw numbers indicate but they have no path to a QB.

May I introduce you into one slightly used Taysom Hill?

Pederson isn't really that highly thought of around the league it seems. think he's gotta take whatever job is offered to him at this point.

he also has a lot of connections to Louisiana so he may really want this job.

Meh. The Rams are a special case. It may seem at it's face that they're going all in but they just prefer proven assets to first round picks. It's an organizational philosophy. They have the core and have been able to add premier talent to it by leveraging those picks.

They've also been able to hit on players outside of the first round to fill holes and have depth fairly well.

You have the Goff trade in 2016. Snead was there but McVay was not there yet. Would they have still done it if Sean was there? Hard to say.
The Brandin Cooks trade was not one that I was ever fond of but it is what it is.
The trade back after the Super Bowl loss from pick #31 into the 40's and a 3rd round pick counts as trading their first round pick but does it really?
Trading two firsts for Jalen Ramsey? I would say that was a win. Something that Howie was gunshy about.
Trading two firsts to get rid of Jared Goff and bring in Matt Stafford? I would say that's a win.

If they weren't hitting on their other picks it would be a different conversation but that wouldn't change my thoughts on the process itself. When it's an organizational philosophy that devalues, for the most part, late first round picks it's not going all in to me.
