    Because I like being difficult ?

    I'm assuming they are moving up to draft a QB.. I don't think there is a plan B after they moved up to 12. Just a matter of who they want and how much farther up they need to go to get him.

    So who’s the best dt we can draft at 12?

     

    goosebumps. So excited.

    The thread title was the Back Up plan.. I said I don't have a clue what a back up plan would be followed by a factual statement. Why you asking me what the back up plan is when I already said I don't know?

  3. I'm guessing this is obviously the make or break draft. We get to find out if Beane knows what an NFL QB looks like. If he gets a big enough name they will probably get 2 more years for things to work themselves out. If it ends up as another JP or EJ with a 1st round pick then they got problems.

    You see clueless, I see fans who literally will determine how much they like a player based, in part, on how much the team paid for him.

     

    There is only one thing that will determine if McCarron was a good hire: if he plays well. To suggest that "Well, he didn't play well, but hey, he only cost $15M, so I'm good with this" is ridiculous because the team needs someone under center to play well more than they need to save a few million on a contract.

    I suppose we could just offer everyone $100,000,000 and be done with it. We are talking about potential ROI.. not an after the fact evaluation. It's a perfectly normal conversation in polite circles. At least it seems like it to me.

    Why do you guys keep bringing up price as one reason to be cool with a football player, as if you're the one's cutting the checks?

     

    I mean, I understand it if your neighbor bought a car and  you think "That's a nice car, but I wouldn't pay $xxxxx for it." Because, y'know, you're gonna buy a car of your own one day. 

     

    But pretty much no one here is going to drop $20M on a quarterback, and to somehow think you'll be okay with the pick as long as the team didn't overpay makes absolutely, positively no sense at all.

     

    It's just the weirdest thing to discuss.

    Limited resources.. money to spend other places? If your neighbor needed a new roof but spent $40,000 on a 1971 Pinto you would probably discuss with anyone who would listen.
