Cornette's Commentary

Welcome back, Jerry.

With the way the first half of the schedule looks and the given the current state of the offensive line, it could be a Top 5 pick.

Thank God you aren't in charge of anything having to do with player personnel decisions for this team. I swear, there should be a basic intelligence test required before fans can even REGISTER to join this site.

This. And, if the team is going to be as bad as people believe it will be, why would anyone NOT want a chance at Nick Bosa, Ed Oliver, Clelin Ferrell, Dexter Lawrence, Christian Wilkins, Montez Sweat, Zach Allen etc. Not to mention a chance at a franchise OT like Trey Adams or Michael Deiter.. Look, I get that people loved Mack when he was at UB and they wished Whaley had taken him over Watkins (in hindsight, he should have taken Mack). But, I'm not willing to stand by and watch this team give away 2 years of 1sts and more, just so people can wear red, white and blue jerseys with the number 52 on the front and back.

If Mack had been on the team on Sunday, would they have beaten the Bengals? Would Mack's presence alone have inspired the starting offensive line to effectively pass block for Allen?

Because, at the moment, we don't know if there is a franchise QB on the roster yet. Until you have a franchise QB, you don't trade valuable rebuilding picks and give stupid money to a DE, regardless of your deep, burning desire to wear a red, white and blue jersey with the number 52 on the front and back of it.

We could have avoided this situation altogether, if Beane had used his God-given psychic abilities to foresee that Murphy would have nagging groin issues throughout camp.

Or, Beane could just sign Colin Kaepernick to start for next season <sarcasm>

This for anyone who's posted and hated/still hates Allen: https://www.nflshop.com/Mens_New_York_Jets_Sam_Darnold_Nike_Green_2018_NFL_Draft_First_Round_Pick_Game_Jersey/t-14713766+o-2416+d-121533563+f-0491335+z-9-720810369?_s=ak1944nfl-pla&amp;sku=10901839&amp;targetid=pla-326661710074

So, you DON'T want to see Nick Bosa, Ed Oliver or a franchise OT on this team next year?

We get it. After one pre season game, you hate Tremaine Edmunds. Now, get out of here.

This. I am BEGGING someone to put this thread out of its misery. The reason why the Packers are the betting favorites, is because they have this guy throwing the ball named Aaron Rodgers. So, given that they have Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball, the Packers can AFFORD to give up multiple years of 1sts and 2nds and roster players for Mack. Do the Bills have Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball? Absolutely not. Therefore, Beane is NOT going to give away valuable future picks, just so that you people can wear red, white and blue jerseys with the #52 on Sundays.

Mack is "more likely a 3-4 guy?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the Raiders been running a 4-3 defense for the last several years, including the year Mack won DPOY?

So, in addition to the Mack threads, does this mean we can now look forward to a litany of: "Lawson (or Adolphus Washington) and a mid-round pick to Oakland for Donald Penn and then cut Jordan Mills" threads?

What if Gruden wants a 2019 2nd in addition to a 2019 1st for Mack? Then, you have to hope that your offensive weapons in rounds 3-7 become Pro Bowlers. You want to take that chance, just for the opportunity to wear a red, white and blue Khalil Mack jersey on Sundays?

Well, if you recall, the Watkins and Darby trades took place within 48 hours of the first home preseason game last year, so...

I agree with scenario 2 - Matthews and a 2019 1st and 2nd. For the Bills, that would equate to: 2019 1st and 2nd and Hughes.

I hear you and I agree that the Raiders should try and get what they can for him right now. I'm just saying that, if anyone thinks Shaq Lawson (or Hughes) and just one high pick in 2019 will get it done, they're sorely mistaken.

A 2019 1st and 2nd, a 2020 1st and a conditional 2020 pick. At least, that's what I would be asking for Mack, if I was Gruden.

The other side of WHAT hill? You want to potentially trot out a rookie QB with Marcus Murphy and Chris Ivory as the starting running backs, just so you can wear a red, white and blue Khalil Mack jersey on Sundays? Please.

Mack would be a DE in this scheme, not a linebacker.

It's definitely an embarrassment, for sure.

Thank God you aren't in charge of anything related to this team's personnel decisions.
