one consideration is picking at 30 you are often compromising on *something* a guy with a weak 40 but decent production a guy with the talents but missing matching production tons of potential but maybe an injury history or a second tier position I guess the question is how often should that compromise be elite playmaker at key position but risks making off field headlines

well, inherently it’s Stafford vs tua and a cast of mediocre backups I think when he has tua the gap in quality of his scheme’s performance closes - though I do think Stafford is much better than usually given credit for when ranking QBs I like mcvay more but also think it’s no coincidence he got the ring with the best qb in that group of coaches

stafford vs tua is at least a large portion of that

the reality is both Benford and Johnson have big health question marks wont be shocked with that double dip

they take a DT and then we do too a few picks later

a slow wr would be crushing.

no one believes that smokescreen it’s worth doing homework on him and helps out an old colleague… but who knows if there is real interest

it also may be seeing if he’s a viable October phone call if injuries come at either group and a bandaid is needed

you can debate the cash but if this is too much drama it might be that you are being more dramatic than cook is

yea, even if it’s not perfect optimization of resources - qb is such an important yes or no question for a franchise over a 15 year run that the only mistake is being scared to take a shot

Interesting - I don’t know him at all really you always want to create stories for why the film doesn’t match what you see on paper but it’s good to remember that sometimes the answer is the guy doesn’t get it and not a simple injury

oh of course- I was saying the news coverage was a huge gap from what happened not that @Kirby Jackson misled us.

yea, just ugly all around. And I’m sure has not been great for awhile. Sister, parents…. Can’t imagine I am not going to celebrate what happened. Also not shying away from acknowledging the behaviors.

even this story continues to grow with his gun firing allegedly being in the commission of stealing his sisters car i get being polite around suicide in the news but…. “Found dead” didn’t really give any color to the apparent saga his final hours were. Reading the story this morning I assumed he was discovered in his home after a discrete/private incident not that he stole a family members car via gun lead a police chase and shot himself crashing into a building

the dude declared for the draft 3 days after the accident without taking responsibility for the crash. It’s more than some juvenile speeding with no idea what happened

Im seeing reports he shot himself after crashing in a police pursuit…. You know, 2 days before the grand jury for his causing a death with his reckless driving if that’s correct, one might argue no lesson was truly learned and he died how he lived - putting innocent people at risk while dodging accountability

I also think loomis wanted to prove he was the guy and not Bree’s/payton He really wanted to win without them

tank and eat the cap hits finally

he seems to think it’s pretty cool for his kids to actually see him play and that’s pretty cool

the cost would be more than a very good corner and very good wr

plus doesn’t he have a lot of kids? How many computers does he have?

meh top of the draft guys are a coin flip end of the round guys are rolls of the dice and after about pick 40 it’s lottery tickets He’s not a bum or anything but he’s more dice than coin

in a skill set discussion only - the team is better with cook than most reasonable replacement options that said I have a very hard time with digesting a player we spend 15m (plus or minus a bit) being game planned onto the sideline for our hurry up offense - specifically game winning drive attempts. I can begin to reconcile our day 2 pick being on the sideline but really struggle with the idea of our 15m back being on the sideline in 2 minute drills in January. Either the back, the coach or the front office would need change in my opinion.

On some level it culturally changes the city you are in

meh i get the players wanting to grow their personal brands not sure I ever got fans being super into it im totally ok with a boring and predictable schedule. Especially if a season ticket holder. A bunch of mid week work/school night games and holidays rarely make for better weeks. Yet alone the 14 different networks. I’m super ok with routine, predictable slates
