The psychology of NFL owners/GMs is so strange. The Titans were planning a firesale, but then they got a good game from a rookie QB and now they are all-in on competing this year. The Falcons are adding players to a team with no QB. It's pressure from fans to compete every year. NFL fans won't except rebuilding like other sports fans. Maybe it's better that way.

Sorry for putting this here, but this headline from the Athletic made me laugh:

 

 

No trade interest shown for Patriots QB Mac Jones

Despite some speculation, the Patriots have not received any trade calls for QB Mac Jones, per sources.

I read on here many times there were hardly any NFL trade deadline deals made...  This all must be fake news,

what's the total now, 6?

 

6 players out of how many hundreds?

I laughed then cried inside thinking of him driving down the field with ease against us.....

I don’t think they’re all in on winning. They’re more likely thinking it’s a good idea to keep weapons around Levis to get an honest assessment of his play instead of ruining his confidence after a fire sale.

i think that's right.  if cap grows you want to add top quality players when you can.  if we added wrs and OL and a young pass rusher prior to allen, they'd be here and be balling out and might have put us over the top.

 

there is so much randomness, injuries, etc, you just can't plan the whole thing to a t.

 

imo, the super star model is stronger than ever.  get transcendent players where you can, a get value free agents and rookies who can contribute.  i think our team, on d in particular, is a bit stuck in that we have such a specific idea of who has to do what and how, that we aren't as flexible as we need to be in drafting and free agency on D.

 

we spent a 2nd on boogie, a 3rd on williams, and a 1st on elam over 3 years, one's off teh team and the other two are riding the pine when there are injuries to starters at their positions.  that just doesn't make sense to me.

Poor development. That’s coaching

It's simple, Beane hasn't drafted well.

Imagine a Browns - Seahawks SB. That is a thing that could happen.

 

A PJ Walker - Geno Smith showdown requires some great marketing.

 

How about Revenge of the Journeymen?

Great pick up for the bears. They will for sure extend him. He’s a great player. 

no one has the heart to tell them their season is already over

He was the proverbial blind squirrel in that game.  Just happened to find an acorn for once in his life.

 

I prefer to look at it as, nobody even wants to contemplate having him lead their football team.

Seeing that they just gave up a pick more than likely in the top 12 of the 2nd round I imagine they have to extend him.  

 

They can't miss two years in a row like this.
