There is no contest. Its Brady and Rodgers only enters the conversation after Manning

No, what I said is no one should trade up into the top ten to draft anyone other than a cant miss prospect (there are none) or a QB. Trading up into the top ten, is a lot different than sitting at 10 and picking a player. Your logic is flawed in two instances, first not all positions are equal in football, and secondly trading up isnt the same as using the same amount of money in different denominations. Trading up, especially for player who isnt a QB, is like paying the same amount for two different lottery tickets where the potential payback on one is significantly lower than the potential on the other. Using your money analogy, and applying it to moving up: trading up into the top ten to draft say a CB is like paying $200 dollars for a lottery ticket that may yield $450 dollars. Trading up into the top ten to draft a QB is like paying $200 for a lottery ticket that may yield you $5,000 dollars long term. Bottom line for the Saints to get up to ten they will most likely have to give up their first this year, 1st next year, and possibly a player. For a team thats planning on rolling out either Taysom Hill or Picks McGee at Quarterback that makes absolutely no sense.

Agreed. Unless the guy is a once in a lifetime cant miss prospect (there are none) or a Quarterback, there is no reason to trade up that far.

It may be tempting at first, but when the initial shock clears your head you have to keep Rodgers. The one thing I'd never trade if I were an NFL GM is a known franchise QB. Teams spend decades trying to find one.

It is a lot of money, but one thing to keep in mind with Karlos is he has seven children. I believe two of them are from the first lady he had children with. He made 365,000 a year for two years he played. Given that salary his child support is probably upwards of 3k a month. I am sure its been adjusted since he went back to regular work, last I read he was hanging drywall while he wasnt playing football. He was compensated handsomely but he also wasnt living the average life of a person in his twenties. He probably wasnt driving a 1997 Chevy Lumina, renting a crap hole apartment, eating ramen, and wearing clothes from Wal-Mart. With 7 kids, and nice things 730,000 in the bank isnt lifetime money.

And completed a ton of them. To the wrong team, but completions none the less.

It makes complete sense for them not to take a Quarterback this year. Lock is terrible, and their coach is a lame duck. With the new GM in place, they need to wait until they hire the next coach to grab a new QB, that way the entire organization will be aligned. If you take a QB this year you screw with their development once you fire the coach in the offseason. I am not sure the move makes a ton of sense given that the best case scenario for them is 3rd place in their division. If Lock throws up on himself it does give Fangio some sort of saving grace. But the end result is going to be the same, at best they are a 7 win team who win fire their coach at the end of the season.

More like Andre 350.

Literally no one was rapping in that clip. Just a guy singing poorly with a ton of autotune and what sounds like a metronome behind it.

Shouldnt take that long. He only made 730,000 as a football player and he hasnt collected a football check in five years now.

Two years too late for the Falcons as well.

Elijah Moore, WR Ole Miss.

Saw the video on Friday. Incredibly sad, but liked his perspective. Said he wouldnt change a thing.

5am Sunday morning......Sounds like someone had a long Saturday night and didnt want to be anywhere near the car when someone else showed up.

WR and RBs wearing single digits is stupid too. There was literally no good reason to change the rule.

He isnt wrong. Its inane. Linebackers not wearing jerseys in the 50s....

Absolutely hate it. Thought the college players looked incredibly stupid wearing 0 last year. Why the NFL insists on fixing things that arent broke, but not fixing things that are is beyond me. A Defensive Back can now wear the #1 but teams are limited on the variations of their helmets and jerseys?

Not going to lie, Mayfield was my preference. But I cant agree with you on Rosen more. He came off as entitled during the process. Add the entitlement to the film, and I dont know how anyone can be surprised he didnt pan out. If you watched more than one game he was an absolute statue in the pocket, had no lateral movement which is essential, took tons of sacks and really didnt have elite arm strength. The talking heads did a great job of selling the "Most Pro-Ready/Great Technique" thing leading up to the draft, but man was he overhyped.

Slice it how you want but they were 14th is yards and 16th in points against. They were the very definition of average when you look at the year as a whole. Whether they progressed or not, the first six games count.

It was a leak. Suggested, but not confirmed. I think he makes the most sense if they dont go with a QB.

Because he knows defense doesnt score points. The team with a good defense and bad offense lost to a Blake Bortles led Jacksonville team 10-3 in the Wild Card Round. The team with the great offense and average defense made it to the AFC Championship game. They knew they had to build a good offense first.

I couldnt tell you the difference between the last iteration.

With all the Mac Jones vs Fields discussion going on, I am pretty sure it will be Trey Lance.

My wife who has no clue who the guy is said "Man, this guy is pretty smug, whoever he is."

I enjoyed Ken Jennings. Rodgers was out of his element and it showed.
