It also would send a hell of a message to 52 other guys about immediate expectations. This is isn’t a compete for a wild card move. This is a go for a championship move

Because most people don’t plan a 5 year turnaround like many here discuss as the plan. They can flip this year and plan to compete in what could be a wide open division in 2020 pretty easily as an expectation

His sophomore year he had either a sack or forced a turnover in 10 out of 12 games. in the other two he had 3 tfl and then a tfl w/ 2 PDs i suspect motivation questions are protecting his body when being forced to play for free questions

Jokes aside- if making this move you have to be expecting a bottom 5 or so pick not a top 10 pick - which is a substantial reframing to the discussion

Whats the commonality? Or is it paying anyone that worries you?

I don’t think a 3 that we are essentially hoping to be end of the third gets it done. If you think we are we are a good team you have to bump up a round from what we’ve discussed for a long time for value of picks

If you believe in a 12 month turnaround instead of multi year, grabbing a pass rusher in his prime makes a ton of sense long term

I’m surprised it hasn’t been linked much more often honestly. It makes a ton of sense

If you want to look at situations like that and bet on it being the norm, you do you. ill bank on a qb that wins 29% of his game and averages less than a td per game not to have many winning seasons. Not impossible but takes a hell of a lot to align

Clearly, I was just talking in the absurd hypothetical. Obviously he isn’t hopping into a cubicle anywhere

While not as relevant to architecture, he surely has a lot of experience a 21 year old out of college would not. A degree plus nearly a decade managing an empire plus leadership skills, etc.... would clearly jump him past most ground floor employees in most fields even ignoring the star boost and just looking practically

Tea but one might refer to him as an exception in his durability and physicality, not the norm

Skelton!

Dearest Mother, I have tired of the constant skirmishes and battles of this long and dreadful war, and fear my heart is no longer in leading the regulars. I take my leave, and will study in peace for the years to come.

We often, maybe always, had a better qb situation. In a qb driven league. How many winning seasons were there? They may show up to play but if it’s a winning record it’s the wheels coming off everyone in the division plus some extra breaks

I’d, unfortunately, bet that in front office circles this will reinforce the notion that guys with other life options are less valuable to a franchise im also curious in player circles if this will have anyone think twice about themselves (it’s one thing when a mediocre guy walks but a franchise player?!?)

You just watched 20 years of decent defense and some talent but no QB and you still post this straight faced?

I don’t doubt he’s hurt. I do not think it’s a career ending injury beyond him deciding he’s tired of dealing with injuries. The reason he’s dealt with injury in this way was in part the colts fault. He has still made the decision not to come back. I would be shocked if doctors told him he cannot rehab and should retire. There’s nothing wrong with making the choice but that’s very much a choice and shouldn’t be lumped in with career ending catastrophic injuries.

Why is it crazy how they are painting it how it is? also, is frank reich their best QB now?

I guess something like shady, ty and a 2 miiiight be in the range for discussion shady has pretty limited trade value but maybe helping two needs and a high pick is enough to start chatter?

With 4.5m guaranteed it would be a pretty amazing whiff if they don’t keep him

I think you are too heavy in an offhand comment id guess he’s used to 6 and said 6. If they are sitting at the table debating guy 53 and there’s value at lb compared to guard they’d still keep 7 lbs

Snap count in game 3 is the most easily twisted to fit a narrative stat I can imagine lots of snaps cause hes the leader lots of snaps cause you are showcasing a trade lots of snaps to see if he can dig out of a hole no snaps cause you are about to trade him no snaps cause he’s already on the inside no snaps cause he’s a bum you can fit darn near any argument you want around it. Which is great for a meaningless tweet to stir up some conversation and build social media presence. What it does t do is give meaningful insight by itself He was also really bad when it mattered. If anything, down the stretch when it mattered least he played best.

Clowney is a young guy in his prime and most teams view the turn around process as a single year investment. It makes some sense if you haven’t gone all in on the 5 year process

I worry that based on her commentary and past incidents these may be common moments. this coming from a guy that thought he was a quiet hard worker when we were targeting him. I’ll own that we know little about these guys home lives and I missed projecting his demeanor.
