DE should not be in our top 5 priorities, which should be, in order: 1- QB 2- QB 3- DT 4 - LB 5 - RT Since Key is likely to be a 1st rd pick, I'd have to say no.

Was not drafting Mahomes the first big coup made by Beane? Figured we needed balance on the board.

Similarly, you don't get to trade just because you feel like it. You especially don't get to trade for a franchise QB who in your scenario is now healthy. If the Colts were willing to trade Luck I'd run away from that trade as fast as i can because that means his shoulder is toast. Talk about magical thinking.

Vea looks like he could legitimately eat Hurst for dinner

Please tell me the last time a non-elite QB won the Superbowl? Answer: 2002 and it was Brad Johnson. The last great example of winning how you want to win occurred SIXTEEN YEARS ago. Here are the QBs who have won the SB since Johnson: Super Bowl 38. Tom Brady (MVP), 3 TDsSuper Bowl 39. Tom Brady (Deion Branch), 2 TDsSuper Bowl 40. Ben Roethlisberger (Hines Ward), 0 TDsSuper Bowl 41. Peyton Manning (MVP), 1 TDSuper Bowl 42. Eli Manning (MVP), 2 TDsSuper Bowl 43: Ben Roethlisberger (Santonio Holmes), 1 TDSuper Bowl 44: Drew Brees (MVP), 2 TDsSuper Bowl 45: Aaron Rogers (MVP), 3TDsSuper Bowl 46: Eli Manning (MVP), 1 TDSuper Bowl 47: Joe Flacco (MVP), 3TDsSuper Bowl 48: Russell Wilson (Malcolm Smith), 2TDsSuper Bowl 49: Tom Brady (MVP), 4TDsSuper Bowl 50: Peyton Manning (Von Miller), 0TDsSuper Bowl 51: Tom Brady (MVP), 2TDs This team will go nowhere without a QB. We have been afraid to pull the trigger and actually spend the capital to draft a franchise QB, but we can trade 2 1sts for a WR who didn't even play out his rookie contract for some reason? I'm tired of having no shot at winning games in the 4th quarter when we're down. I'm sick and tired of having no long term plan at QB and everyone's "let's just get someone who isn't terrible, QB can be "next year's problem."

CAN you win a SB without a franchise QB anymore? Maybe. But, the rest of your team better be phenomenal. Our Defense needs 5 major pieces and I doubt we can get playmakers at LB AND DT AND DE in order to get to that step. The fastest way to improve your team is with a franchise QB and then you least have a SHOT to win games for 10-12 years. QB is priority 1-10 for this team.

This stat alone makes PFT worthless to me. If they can sit there with straight faces and say TT is better than a bottom tier QB, none of their stats mean anything.

Lol, that's actually the thought I had when I read he was a fan... prove it!

This was TT trying to make himself the hero, there's really very little doubt about that.

If the Bills aren't on I watch with indifference. I get the most joy from the misery of Patriots fans, an experience which admittedly doesn't happen often enough.

This is the losing mentality that kept us out of the playoffs for 17 years. You're basically asking for Orton/EJ 2, oh except EJ was a first round pick and theoretically had a higher chance of being better than your mid-round hail mary.

That was it! Thanks! Yeah I wouldn't want him back just based on that stupidity.

I'm not talking smack about Whaley, you're simply wrong on arguing this point. Yes, the trade fell into our laps. Sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative.

You think these two guys are going to turn into solid players with a different coach? Neither has ever been good.

Philadelphia called US to offer McCoy. Asked for Woods and Kiko and accepted a counter of Kiko. We were not the instigators of that trade.

I think both points are irrelevant. This is a business, you get what you can for assets you aren't using and similarly you play for whomever holds the rights to your contract. Shady didn't "want" to be here at first and then he got acclimated and now loves the area, I don't think caring or feelings means much at all as a deterrent for a deal, even if it's a deal I don't want. The bigger issue is he's old and his contract is ending soon. I wouldn't want him just for that.

Was Bradham the guy who had a friend tweeting out all these stupid FA updates for him? I can't remember.

I don't think Reid gives a wet fart about what Smith wants if he can get solid compensation for him with a QB waiting in the wings. The thing about Smith is he's 33 and not elite, so you are still looking at drafting a QB if you pick him up so you're just using up more capital there that could go to fixing up other parts of the team.

Yeah I'm not saying it's bad. I just found it strange he would announce it.

We badly need OL help. The right side of our Oline takes half the field away from us on running plays and collapses the pocket for us on passing plays. Counterintuitive to grab a franchise QB and then get him killed behind Ducasse and Mills.

Weird that a CEO of an NFL team would admit to being a fan of another team

Back to waiting on free agency to start while the playoffs are still going, feel a bit more normal now. I don't know what I'd ever do if this team didn't have multiple glaring holes.

You've got to be kidding me, I love those commercials. Clay's morse code and enthusiastic singing of "I'm like a bird" crack me up every time.

Signing a solid QB like Cousins in FA would help this team in so many areas beyond QB. We wouldn't have to use draft capital on a QB and we could use our multitude of picks to really shore up the team. That said, I would trade away all our picks for a good QB.

We went through so many years in which we switched from 4-3 to 3-4 and back. It was AWFUL for this D and frankly I'm surprised they did as well as they did. There are at least 6 players from the turnstile years who are productive starters on other teams who we could use now.
