Dr. Who

I agree. So, metaphorically the drones of corporate America are applauded for their groupthink and the fella who shows some deviation from easy consumer blandness is ostracized. Whenever I hear dilly dilly, I think someone is identifying themselves as an idiot.

Yes, I would like to be overweight like that.

Glenn for a high second or an older, disgruntled player? No bueno. We have enough draft picks the next two years to bring in plenty of talent. Stupid teams trade a good to very good LT for draft picks. Cordy's contract is reasonable and it will only get better over time as contract inflation at the position inevitably occurs. Re OP: ESPN is a mouthpiece for the Bristol Patriots*. I'm sure they think trading Glenn away is a trade that should happen.

Well, if you identify Rosen, good luck getting SF, Cleveland, or the Giants to trade out. I wanted Watson and Mahomes last draft. Lots of folks looking at qb 2018 while the supposed quality has not lived up to expectations. Who do you like, btw, at this early date? Mayfield has some Drew Brees in him and Lamar Jackson might be Taylor with more upside, imo.

The 2018 class seems to have regressed from expectations, hasn't it? Darnold may stay at USC. Rosen will probably go first overall. Cleveland, SF, and the Giants will probably all be looking at qb and none of them will trade out. You might be able to make a deal with Indy, assuming Luck comes back healthy, but that still might leave you the third and fourth best qb. At this point, I would consider moving up, but not the expensive ticket you are asking about. I am hoping Mayfield or Jackson is available late first.

I'm an UGA fan, so I'm sorry he's gone.

I think this is right.

Plus one. I'm always happy for Tyrod to prove my pessimism wrong.

Outstanding. Great team win. Still gunshy after all these years, but maybe we really are legit.

I like our chances if that scenario plays out.

As of this moment, I am hoping we find a way to get Mayfield.

I am not sure about how the cap works with regards to MD's contract. My sense is that after 2018, we could get out from under with relative lack of pain. If so, all the savings calculating in 2019 - 2021 money is largely illusory. There must be some real savings that opens up flexibility going forward. My question is whether a deal could have been swung after the season, because the timing certainly does not help this season.

Thanks for the heads up. Haven't paid attention at all.

Really lazy not to see they are genuinely vulnerable this year.

Yes, I agree. And so many terrible teams looking for qbs along with legacy teams with aging qbs. 49ers, Giants, Browns, Steelers, Cards, Jets should be qb buyers. Probably more, that's just off the top of my head. Colts are terrible, but unless they question Luck's long-term viability, they should be the trade target if you want to get ahead of the crowd.

I find Brian Kelly immensely annoying, but they do look like a compelling team right now. I am an UGA fan, so I like that this makes the win at South Bend look more impressive.

Everyone was telling me how great the 2018 qb class was going to be when I was repeatedly promoting Mahomes and Watson. Now, the 2018 class looks far less imposing and that is before the post-season scrutiny begins. Mayfield and Jackson both intrigue me, but neither is without question marks. I like them though. Darnold appears in a bit of a freefall. Still like Rosen. Rudolph benefits from a great wr corps. He had a bad game yesterday as far as I can tell (I don't claim to be an expert.)

Don't listen to those fellas. I'll buy you an umbrella

Really thought this team would be better. They are a major disappointment and one has to say, the TM critics appear to be proven right.

Keep on preaching, John C. Hope Beane is listening, because if you don't fix the qb issue, you don't fix the team, no matter how much you hit on other positions.

Well stated. That's what a true franchise qb does and if you want long-term success and a real chance to win super bowls, you need one.

Really well stated. Now get off my lawn.

I recognize a fair number of these names, but you fellas are really informed and I am not. I don't see the nuances of the game as I am mainly a casual viewer. My sense, from some of the posts above, is that we need to play more of a ball possession, defensive, tactically sophisticated game and so far, we've just tried to get by on aggression. Anyway, thanks for the thoughts. Hope we get it right . . . relatively soon.

Who is coaching the U17 and U20 teams? Any candidates for the national team?

I'm rather surprised you didn't blame Tim Murray . . . and don't call me Shirley.
