LABILLBACKER

Jack Kemp wouldn't last 5 minutes in today's NFL.

Win on 3....1,2,3 win

I will never forgive this front office for not making a more concerted effort to land BTJ. It would've cost us Cole Bishop....that's it....whoop de doo....

Combine FA Draft Celebrate Von gone 6/1 Lots of Golf We'll survive....

He'll get 10M/ yr from somebody. It also wouldn't surprise me to see McB trade up a little in the 1st for Revel.

Sometimes I picture Sean pretending to be the Mandalorian saying " this is the way ".....🤣 In all seriousness, McB doesn't have the chops to find great (not even elite) Dlineman. So he's forced to rotate Jags for 4 quarters. I guarantee you this will continue till he's replaced, which at this point will be never.

Absolutely....the top priority should be exhausting every trade scenario to land Garrett or Crosby. At least try Brandon. If it falls thru, then we're at the mercy of Brandon & his scouts.

If Revel gets close to us, I could see McD tell Beane to trade up a couple spots. If he's unattainable then get the best DT on the board (Grant/ Harmon/ Nolen). 56 I'm good with either Harris or Bond. Then get maybe Jack Sawyer or Burch??

It's going to take a few hundred more cheeseburgers for that.

Josh does cover alot of warts

He was 33 years old when we signed him. That is so unbelievably risky, especially at the cost. Beane probably will never offer a large FA contract to a pass rusher over 30. That's why it's gotta be Garrett/ Crosby or bust in a trade.

He's never getting fired. Terry is too terrified to do it. Sean has this folk hero following because he dug us out of the drought. If he hadn't acquired Josh, he would've been fired years ago. He and Beane have done a poor job building this defense, whether you believe in the nickel zone or not. All we can do as a fanbase is continue to support Josh. And try to convince ourselves that the yearly "Schotty awards" will be the culmination.

I've never trusted McDermott nor his ability to hire competent coordinators.

I agree @GunnerBill. There are so many stud DT's available in the first 2 rounds you could almost double dip. Ed needs help....

There's no way in hell I'm paying Greg anything past 14-15/ yr. And that's being generous. He's the epitome of Gabe Davis and Tremaine Edmunds. In 4 full seasons he's averaged 6.2 sacks. If this doesn't reek of Chris Kelsay, I don't know what does. We may be forced to sign him because we don't have anyone else. Von will be gone June 1st and there's no way we keep AJE after 2025, who's been more disappointing than Groot. We must go after a Cosby or Garrett. And we must draft multiple DL guys and pray one hits. Obviously I have little faith in Beane and his scouts, defensively.

And there lies the #1 problem. McD can take a good player and turn him into a good player. Reid takes a good player and turns him into a GREAT player. All of our coaches (McD, Brady, Babich, Smiley) are like children getting outcoached by grown ups. If our exact team was coached by KC's people, I guarantee you we'd have 2-3 championships. Sean is a good man and a nice dude, but don't kid yourself thinking he's ever getting Josh & Co to a SB.

Looking at some mocks I see alot of Harmon or Grant @ 30. Even saw a couple trade ups for Luther Burden III (WR/ Mizzou). Maybe JTT as a possible edge rusher? If Revel falls to us, I think Sean would run to the podium. Also Nolen is in the mix too. Those are the key positional areas!

Other than maybe BJ Hill, there's not much available in FA. Hill would cost you 8-9/ yr. We gotta take advantage of a deep DT draft and get a couple monsters.

Even that decision we kinda screwed up. Could you imagine having Justin Jefferson instead of Diva Diggs from 2020- 2024? I was one of them and obviously I gave our regular season victory way too much value. The Chiefs are alot like the Kobe Lakers. They can cruise into the playoffs, then they flip this massive switch where their coaches & players just dominate.

Absolutely love all these ideas except Cooper @ 3yrs. I'm not paying him to be a decoy which is basically what he was. I'm letting Rousseau & AJE walk after next season. Extend Josh, Cook & Shakir. If Myles becomes too expensive (pick wise), call the Raiders for Mad Maxx. And pray we hit on DE/ DT this April.

Our top priority is pass rusher. All resources must be spent here. I don't trust Beane drafting an elite DE, so we better be prepared to offer a trade with the Raiders for Maxx. He's still young and a proven commodity. Our 2nd priority is a monster DT in the 320-340 range. Maybe a diamond that turns into a Chris Jones or at least Kyle Williams. The 3rd priority is a speed WR who can stretch the field. I'm not sure we're keeping Cooper? I'm not sure Coleman will ever separate? These are the top 3 priorities. I wouldn't be upset if we drafted 2 from each position. Once the DL is improved, you won't be as dependent on pro bowl dbs. 4th & 5th priority is CB then Safety. If we shore up these 5 critical positions, we'll be on track to attack KC again.

Another stupid strategy...let's rotate a bunch of Jags so the Jags stay fresh. Did he learn this crap in Carolina?

I said 3 hours before the game we didn't stand a chance. We had a good enough team to beat them. But the marketing gods were not on our side. Mahomes is in every commercial. Reid and Kelce also have multiple commercials. Mama Kelce, Taylor Swift and her 150million followers. Even the SB logo is in KC colors. We didn't stand a chance......... Maybe after they're handed this 3 peat and Travis & Tay ride off in the sunset. Then and only then might we be considered for the same type of favoritism that KC/ NE have enjoyed. It just sucks that the entertainment/ revenue angle of the NFL takes precedence over competitive fairness.

He'll get cut June 1st. Makes the most sense.

Thank you....someone who's glass isn't half full while wearing rose colored glasses. We have exactly 1 elite player on this team...17 and that's it. Cook is approaching that status very quickly. Dion & Spencer are good tackles but hardly elite. We have no elite WR'S or TE'S. Milano was the closest defensive player to elite but constant injuries have ended that narrative. Oliver, Rousseau Benford, Taron and Bernard are good but not great. The rest of our defense are just rotational Jags. We don't need elite players at LB or DB, but for McD's scheme to work, he must have at least 1 elite player on the DL.
