the Flacco example of course being the pretty good qb that had not gotten the second contract yet. honestly I think that Stafford is a comfortable step above dak. hurts is basically the exception to my rule of thumb but somehow the eagles manage to spend like they have an extra 50M in cap space still

well part of that not just looking for a better qb but if you can get even average play while saving 60M suddenly you can surround the same tier player with 2-3 all pros. we never fully embraced that roster construction with rookie contract Josh but the proverbial is a purgatory team with a 10-15 qb better downgrading the roster to keep him or taking a guy like dart, nix etc…. Who is a second shelf prospect and really stocking the cupboard. honestly haven’t watched a ton of him in the last year. He might not be the best example but I think not far from that split where it gets interesting. Like might be 1-2 guys above the cut but not far away.

it’s an interesting debate - the classic do you pay Kirk cousins and hope you get lucky bounces or keep drafting QBs and load up a superstar roster around a draft pick

if you pare that down to two mostly healthy WRs and passable answers at the qb position it’s a pretty consistently solid list

Totally fair. I’ll say this: the nfl should address that a waiver player should have to show up before you cut someone else to absorb them. Maybe give teams 24 hours to place them on either the roster or non report list, and if they enter the facilities they have reported

Yea, I get being lightly annoyed by this but the level of drama is kind of soap opera fan status here beane has plenty of real question marks (and wins)…. This doesn’t register in any honest conversation

because rosters have roster fillers?

even cook…. He was what, 3rd RB off the board? I bet if you do a list of the top 3 RB that are also taken by the end of round 2 behind our line and with our qb… we probably have a lot of fun watching nearly all of them a relatively elite talent in an ideal fit? If anything I’m almost annoyed how much time was wasted on his rookie deal before we embraced him

I think you attracting attention and inviting embarrassment- unfortunately

yea, a lot of folks picturing sundays lineup and not 3rd quarter of the AFCCG when someone goes down also a lot of folks seem to think we only had 1 waiver claim and chose him over all those starting DEs and WRs that were cut and being passed on waivers today

and probably all of that is the dumb luck of does Gabe (or Keon) win a couple 1-1s at the right time randomly. I’m not expecting it regularly but do they randomly spin a defender on a 3rd and 7 and get a 40 yard TD turning a possible punt into 7? Kincaid being healthy will also be absolutely huge in the calculation.

woof. I didn’t catch that 8 interception stat. it kind of matches his status of WR8 with Denver.

in his last two years Moore turned a massive 206 targets into a just 1178 yards and 3 tds. not super exciting efficiency there. Ill continue to beat the drum- trade McDermott for a top 15 wr and I suspect Brady calls a very different game he’s had terribly inefficient seasons before us he’s never had a season that you’d really point at as a success. maybe a reason he has 4 jerseys in 5 years.

someone could title it that or OC to justify dollars but in essence, he’s a very good line coach and only ok above. I think he knows where his sweet spot is for success instead of bouncing all over.

yea, he’s not a guy with a playbook - so it’d be a situation where someone like Brady (or Sean Payton as an old coworker) might take him as a leader of men and more well paid line coach but I think we are safe and he will be a tremendous asset for us barring our own major shakeup. Even then, could be the type to be retained as Brady isn’t his guy specifically
