The Jokeman

Don't forget we signed AJ McCarron who while not a proven starter showed promise in limited starts in Cincy but for whatever reason failed here. Then getting Derek Anderson was a God sent as think he did wonders to teach Josh how to prepare and be a starting NFL QB while Josh recovered.

Who wants fair? Being the best should be rewarded toss in makes most teams not put in scrubs at end of the season making fair/unfair for other teams below them in the standings.

We might have talked to him pre cut that he could return if no trial happened. I could see us (or any team) putting him on the practice squad to finish the season and then a futures deal after the season.

He needs to be as good if not better than AJ Brown.

Burks has been hampered by injury, Jefferson by contrast came in as a star his rookie year and not looked back.

Teams that would be interested in Stevenson might go after a more proven guy like Jaelon Darden who got cut from Tampa.

Indy with Jonathan Taylor could be a good landing spot but not sure Baltimore would trade in conference. You're right Lamar skill sets limits where he can excel and to be honest think he reached his ceiling, the only way Baltimore gets better is if they improve their RBs and defense. Yet until Lamar can continually beat teams from the pocket as a passer he and they aren't going anywhere past the first or second rounds of the NFL playoffs.

Singletary is set to be an UFA after this season, I can see us letting him walk and making Cook the starter and drafting someone to compliment him. I just mentioned in another thread that Chris Rodriguez Jr. could fill that role but he'd be a later no sooner pick. To me our 1st Round need likely LB or S if Edmunds/Poyer leave or maybe even DT.

Cook likely replaces Singletary next year so yes, someone that would compliment would be good. Just doing a quick run down on prospects a guy like Chris Rodriguez Jr. might fit that role.

I feel Beane might trade down to acquire more picks if feels he needs to fill in more depth spots on the roster. Specifically at RB and TE.

Can you go on balanced billing?

Him not working out is definitely a concern to me. I'm all for adding talent but he as the saying goes you're only valuable if you're available.

But signing Brewer to the active roster opened up a PS spot if want Stevenson back.

Problem is the Rams WR are pretty bad without Kupp granted Baker never was great with WRs in Cleveland.

Except he has to learn the offense and show he can throw accurately to Deebo and Ayuk. Yeah sorry Baker is a middling QB at best. He might be a good add for them next year to backup/temporary replace Lance (another bust)but this year ehhhhh no.

McDuffie has as many starts as Elam and less INTs and tackles. I'd even venture to say we have a better ranked pass defense. McDuffie grades a 76.0 and Elam rates 58.3 per PFF. So I'll give you that one but McDuffie benefitted from sitting most of the early season to learn more before being thrust in to start. Pacheco has out rushed Cook but also had 51 more carries and Cook has a better YPC average. Benford grades out at 55.6 and Watson a 52.4. so I think it's a wash. A rookie drafted 30th overall in 2022 DE with 2.5 sacks and 11 solo tackles in 12 games might compare or be worse than a DE that was taken 30th overall the year before who had 4 sacks and 42 solo tackles in 17 games. Again you're over staying KC's drafting. I could go on and on if you'd like? Beasley isn't coming back bro.

Crush? Like Skyy Moore who they took in Round 2 this year? Who has 17 catches this year? Compared to Shakir who we took almost 100 picks later who has 8 catches?

Lord (all but coach) and Diane are my mom's and dad's age.

Anyone who watched the Levy lead Bills or beforehand has to appreciate all that McDermott's done because he's turned this franchise around. I'll admit when he first came in with his Playoff Caliber t-shirts I thought oh boy this should be fun. Then when we passed on DeShaun Watson and moved on from Dareus, Watkins and Ronald Darby I still had questions. Yet as we've seen he clearly knows what he's doing as to go from QB purgatory to franchise QB and top 5 NFL team over 3 or more seasons is a wonderful thing.

I know Lake Dawson, our Assistant Director of College Scouting, worked with the Titans earlier in his career. I wonder if they'd bring him in? It be great for us because the league give us two 3rd round draft picks since he's a minority.

Short term yes but long term it might be beneficial.

Tre White and Xavier Rhodes help us at CB, Elam might get some time in dime.

They've been bad at OL and TE too.

If a team is desperate enough they might, the question is are the Jets dumb enough to do it? Rhodes might be starting over Dane.
