I dunno, didn't the new GM just come out and say the most important thing he has to do is find a QB? Hard to say that and then sign a backup as your response.

Fair enough, I have no issue with that stance.

This is the best case scenario. I still see him signing with Denver though. Hard to say no when John Elway comes calling.

Guys, this thread has officially been derailed. It's not a thread about Tyrod, it's about the new OC.

Do you REALLY want Rosen though? I feel like he has a big mouth and could tank a team that's playing poorly.

I was going to root for the Jags against the Pats, then I saw that guy from their FO ripping on Buffalo and now I don't want them to win another game ever.

And it's in Cleveland's best interest to blow up their cap space on a 30 year old QB rather than taking the best QB in a draft that has good ones and having him on a rookie contract? I doubt it.

I don't. I think he actually wants to win.

This guy said heuristic, so I'm gonna go with whatever he said.

So Cordy, 21, 22 and a 2nd to move up there? That's a lot of value for an injured LT.

Yeah I don't pretend to be an expert on the matter but this seems like a logical point against my contention.

Those are pretty extreme lines of thinking. Why is Cousins signing with the worst team in pro sports by choice? When is the last time the Giants have picked this high? The last time they had a top 5 pick they drafted Rivers. I don't think they can afford to go another position with an aging QB and good QBs available.

Very Groucho Marx "I refuse join any club that would have me as a member." Hence - if he came here he must be bad.

In that case, are you willing to overpay to get one of them?

I didn't see the rant. Was it bad?

Isn't the "pound the rock" philosophy a product of the place we play though? I might be wrong, but doesn't conventional thinking state that colder climate stadiums without a roof and swirling winds are tougher places for passing teams?

I'd just like to point out that there really were no names being thrown around that haven't been fired at some point. Wait and see is probably the best way to go on this hire. I know it's the offseason and everyone is looking for things to have strong opinions on, but I just don't think a handful of seasons that are relatively far-removed can be used to condemn the guy.

I don't think it matters what we're willing to package if the top 2 teams aren't willing to do business cause they're locked in to drafting a QB. The real question for me though is whether or not the 3rd ranked QB in this class is worth the picks. Would you rather overpay to get one of the top 2? How many drafts produce THREE franchise QBs? I can think of 3 years that did '04, '83, '71, pretty much every other year you see one or two, or in the case of the year we drafted EJ: none.

I said current and I'm not running around extolling how excited I am. Please explain to me how complaining for pages and pages on a message board before the guy steps foot in the building is better than saying "huh, hopefully he isn't crap, let's wait and see?"

I'm fine with MIN OR PHI winning.

Nope, I actually haven't watched the movie in forever and forgot he played a shrink. You got me!

No one is throwing a ticker tape parade. I'm just not interested in having your whole "sorry if I'm too real for you" act. No one knows if this is a good hire, but to sit here and complain about it is ignorant absent an actual sample size of current work.

I imagine the OP never stays around for the end of movies either, for instance he thinks Bruce Willis is just a cop in the Sixth Sense.

I'll be sure to write a strongly worded letter to the Bills front office letting them know that if Fridge of TBD can't sign off on what he is guessing the OC's philosophy, then neither can I.

I like this, thanks for shifting the way I looked at this hire just a bit
