Not tanking or Yates would be starting. If we get a QB he's not starting next year anyhow. Nothing is any different. We were a .500 team before and we will be a .500 team still. Only difference is we have a chance at adding some future talent next year so in 2 years maybe we look like a real team

Anyone think he will have better year than Sammy?

I've heard of him

Mahomes throws for 1200 yards and 18 TD's in the second half and the forum melts down for good.

Hmm I see

No this is Brandon Beane. No relation to Billy Beane.

how much worse are they though? they got a possible 1k yards receiver and a db that will play zone (oh yea PLUS the picks!)

Both combined cheaper than Sammy

I agree. I would do the Darby trade in a second. I would have asked for more for Sammy (better CB or an additional pick). That's my final answer

I like the thinking behind it. I would have liked a better CB. We needed a starter not a backup caliber player. At first I was shocked. I came inside after mowing the lawn and all hell was breaking loose. Then I stopped to consider everything and Watkins wasn't going to come back and Darby didn't fit the scheme. So I like the trades, I don't love them. If we somehow got a 1st or a starting CB I would probably be doing cartwheels right now

Maybe we can get a better CB instead. This guy wasn't even going to start for them

LA is taking a chance that Sammy will want to stay there with a bust QB at the helm. Giving up a second and a player is a big risk on their part. I don't think either side "won" As for Darby, he didn't fit the scheme. It is what it is. When you change coaches and schemes every 2 years that's what happens

what if i won the lottery? why would this be a bad thing?

they are trading up for a QB. they are collecting the needed ammo. now hopefully they might the right choice

if they were tanking they would trade Darby for a 2nd instead of a 3rd and Matthews. they are still trying to win some games

that is correct. but the 85 Taurus runs so you have a hard time justifying replacing it and you think that maybe with some nice rims and a new paintjob it will be the best car on the block. but in the end it's still just an 85 Taurus!

Tyrod isnt' a franchise QB, he's the guy that will win us a few games between now and them getting next year's rookie ready Sammy is the $10k spinner rims that don't always spin but they still look nice and sometimes they work!

you dont want to use the franchise tag ever. it's there mostly as a bargaining tool

I would

the way things are trending he might come out ahead in that trade!

Watkins is good, he just hasnt' been on the field. He's still really young. I feel like he could still catch on somewhere and have a big career with multiple pro bowls. Maybe not LA but he still has a long career ahead of him somewhere!

i don't want you guys jumping off the skyway. i have grown to like some of you over the years. everyone take a deep breath!

im already looking forward to the 2018 draft. it's going to be like christmas day.

i don't love the moves but i get it. i've been telling you guys for years that it's going to take something drastic to turn this franchise around. Beane showing he has the cajones to make it happen. they must like a QB in the draft next year and they are loading up to get him and they are getting the pieces that fit McDermotts scheme on D

i go outside to yard work and all hell breaks loose. i cant leave you guys alone for a few hrs without the team imploding? good god! before everyone jumps off a bridge, Darby doesn't fit the scheme and Watkins wasn't coming back anyhow. we are a 6-7 win team. might as well build for the future. Beane and McDermott showing they are in it for the long haul not just a few mediocre years and done like all others before them
