I just want to say, this is one of the best thread OP posts I've ever seen here. Updates, bold headlines, citations and links to other threads. Bravo, sir. A+ in Interneting today.

Yeah, front loaded too? We couldnt come close to that.

Not at all what anyone is arguing with that strawman. Just that the world isnt over because we only signed a project. Good things can still happen.

It was actually just a back spasm so we wont count that I guess.

Now Milano can knock out ALL their QBs in one game!

Neither Poyer nor Hyde were starters for their previous teams.

Exactly. He was a 3rd round pick out of Penn St, so not exactly a nobody. Was a backup his first 2 seasons, and then started all last year and came into his own. This is exactly when we cash in on that.

LOTS of Chiefs fans see their OL the same exact way you see ours. And if you look at it from their side, they had to replace 2 OTs last year, and are now replacing those OTs again. Same holes they need to keep on plugging. They see those moves as misses, and they won the super bowl IN SPITE of their weak OL. It's just the team fan tunnel vision.

Folks getting way to wrapped up with watching the Chiefs and being jealous. Watching/chasing the Chiefs for the last 3 years has gotten us no where.

Because every year Miami wins the offseason. They'll become the media darlings. Everyone will be all in. Then they'll end up 9-7 at best and maybe make the wild card.

What are you doing? These arent even the same account. Just the same profile pic. edit: and now not even the same profile pic!

Tampering period just opened. Crazy how all these big time contracts can get completely negotiated in 90 minutes....

Ha, good question. Yes. As of right now, nothing has changed for me. McGovern could be yet another FA OG on the pile. I might be convinced otherwise before draft day.

Great first step!

In fairness, DHop is only 30 right now. But! Recently injured and busted using PEDs to recover. Which usually turns into a slippery slope.

Maybe. Hey, I think Hopkins is THE premier WR in the NFL and has been for a decade so Im certainly not against it. But for the upfront investment, and long term costs, I tend to lean towards the guy who can/will be playing for the rest of Josh's career as opposed to the guy who will likely be falling off a cliff and retiring soon. Hopkins age, injuries, and PED use worries me. Once that ball starts rolling, it usually picks up momentum. I'm just not sure how "cheap" he will really come.

But how much is Hopkins cap hit vs Jeudy?

I want to use our first three picks on 2 OL and 1 WR. So if they are asking for high offers, I'd start with a 3rd, and could probably justify a 1st considering there likely wont be a WR available at #27 as good as Jeudy. But if it really came down to a 1st, I'd have to think hard about it.

Well no duh. 😜 I dont think anyone is actually arguing that it was TECHNICALLY 2 plays. But there's also a case that stats dont tell the whole story, or tell a bigger story than there actually was. Was he in on other plays? Sure. Was their any significance to them? Didnt seem so.

It really was extremely limited. I'd even argue that saying 2 plays is stretching it. Seemed like the same thing every time. Or at least every time he got the ball. So it became super predictable for us, and the defense. That same busted sweep every time.

Go lower. Like onto the field. Josh was dumping off to Singletary and Cook the first 4-5 games, as designed, and they were starting to light it up. Our offense was clicking. Then he just stopped. Folks can blame it on the elbow injury, and that may be the case. But we did start the season throwing to the RBs, and they were still there and wide open underneath the rest of the season. We just stopped throwing it to them and instead bombed it out for low percentage throws.

McKenzie.

Cookie Boi! Love it

Not so sure. There isnt a lot of love on here for Ramsey to begin with. The fans are cap conscious right now. And they most certainly dont want to see any high picks used on defense, let alone DBs. Maybe if this were last offseason, and it allowed us to use the 1st round pick elsewhere (Linderbaum), still snag Benford later, etc. That would have been a good move. But not so sure it would be a welcomed with Bills Mafia right now.

Disagree. I wouldnt be hating on Beane, but I'd be skeptical. For Ramsey's price tag vs our cap situation vs his underwhelming performance vs Beane's ability to find DBs in the 4th-7th rounds... it would seem like a huge waste of resources.
