Or your next meal

Why would he stockpile when he was good at picking up free agent talent? You hit on a guy and he could be huge for a long time.

Maybe related to EJ being a starting qb? Just a skewed vision of football talent? I've got nuthin' else except he's trollin'.

I've had fair results with the bucket, also got a bird for example. I had the most luck with the bucket bait mouse/rat traps using peanut butter and bird seed. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Kness-102-0-019-Snap-E-Mouse-Trap-6/dp/B004B9XPOO There's a couple guys that video their pellet guns too, come a long way from the open sights of the 70's that I used.

Try looking up "chipper dipper" and peruse some of those video's.

Just a lottery ticket that will be thrown out before checking the numbers because of the change in coaches. I don't know if Smith will hit a wall per se, maybe injuries get to him? I happen to think TT has a chance to get better and is a better qb than Smith anyway so the path to this model works for me. As a first step our team has to be strong enough to get to the playoffs with TT. That will mean, to me at least, that the drafting and depth are in place for a longer run. Then start burning higher picks on qb's to get over the top. The chances of getting a qb that needs to develop into a franchise qb will be much greater if we can have stability in the front office and the coaching staff.

Sure, he gave up a 7th to secure a wr. Should have picked ty hilton, but that's another story. Buddy said he would like to take a qb every year if possible. I think that has to be balanced against what the team needs are. Because just like ej, not every qb is going to work out. I really wish we can find a coach that will be here for a few years so we can build through the draft. Instead of burning picks replacing guys who don't fit with the new coach we can burn picks on a qb prospect. I don't know if wilson or cousins comes in here and performs as well because of the volitility around our team. We'll probably be getting rid of Cardale because he's not a timing passer. While a lottery ticket, we did not give ourselves a chance to cash in on that ticket. A lot of the depth players will be replaced first with bodies then by draft picks. It's a treadmill to mediocrity. I would rather do it the way KC has, get a team to the playoffs then start sinking high draft picks into finding a qb. For me it starts with the coach so I'm hopeful McDermott is the one and not some type anti-rex. Regardless, I would rather keep him until the roster turnover settles even if that means some empty seats in the stadium. Pegula’s going to pay either way.

I think that what did Whaley in was not being able to convince non-football savvy owners that Rex was was a bad hire. All the rumors that Whaley really wanted Jackson points to him not being a strong enough personality. Why are you the GM let the owner make that $25 million mistake? That and the press conference disavowing any knowledge of why Rex was fired. Pegula mentioned in the subsequent interview that he and Doug had talked about Rex during the season. Doug giving the impression that he had no clue why Rex was fired causing TP to have to do an interview couldn't have helped. Well, not in the fourth unless we traded up. And I really think Buddy wanted Cousins and rolled the dice that he would be there considering most of the teams picking before us had either already taken a qb that year or already had one. Maybe he could have had him rated higher to consider trading up or just taking him in the third, but he didn't.

The assistant s&c puts down the cones and the s&c assistant picks them up. Looks like they plan on using a lot of cones.

But for example, Big Ben started on the bench until the starter got hurt early in the year. I think there is a responsibility to your team and the year long effort they make (and you as a coach expect them to give) to start the guy that gives the team the best chance to win.

I thought we had decided as a fan base that the KC model was the best - build a team to make the playoffs then start dropping draft picks on possible franchise qb's because chances are you're not going to get a surefire franchise guy unless you get lucky with a high enough pick in a deep enough class. We have our alex smith and need to put together a team around him so the development of a franchise qb will be smooth. That way the pressure of winning is not on a developing qb's shoulders and hopefully that guy will be able to actually develop in the same system. Of course we need organizational stability to have that happen, so good luck to us.

Could make practice squad as guard

So why not announce the decision earlier? Did something change with the medicals in the last few weeks? Don't think it really changed how other teams would view their draft, but maybe. Seems more related to a disagreement in the building with one side talking about potential if healthy and the other talking about "Samantha".

True, but I was surprised Yates was brought in. I think there is a difference between being in a room learning and actually running the offense and learning from game film.

So let's follow kc's lead, build a team that gets to the playoffs with a decent veteran qb then blow picks on possible franchise qb's. We can start with keeping the same coaching staff for more than two years. IF Rex was still here I think the chances of taking a qb high in this draft would have been greater. Instead we have self inflicted holes again, just like we will next year when darby or Ragland or whoever doesn't get it done under these coaches. The point of building a team before developing a franchise qb is taking the pressure off the kid so he can, you know, develop. TT and Cardale are going to take a step back this year with the new system. And Cardale might not be the right guy now for Dennison and McDermott so we may need to get another guy using up more resources. In the end I would rather "tank" with a crappy coach for an additional year to add talent than constantly changing schemes and having to cut players because they don't fit. For me, that is why we always pick db's and rb's and don't have any depth.

In Pittsburgh input is taken from the coaches, Colbert has said that many times. You get guys to fit the scheme, especially defensively. So since we've flushed coaches again McDermott has assessed the roster, dumped a couple guys and will move forward with the guys he thinks he can win with for this year. Next year there will be another batch of guys that get dumped because they didn't perform the way the coach thought they could. So we are dumping draft picks and it happens every time we change coaches. So if you want to take chances on qb's and you want comp picks, pray for a coach to survive for four years or that we happen to decide on a new coach who's philosophy lines up with the talent at hand.

Don't know if you saw this or not. I thought this happened in Pittsburgh but I didn't look long enough to find out where it happened. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2017/03/21/new-boston-treatment-relieves-pain-without-surgery-brigham-womens-hospital/

You can hit the report button next to the multiquote/quote button and put a word in there to help the mods understand your concerns. It goes directly to them and allows them to focus in on the issue without having to sift through a lot of posts. The same thing can be said for anyone crusading etc that is against the terms of service.

I look at what wvu did to him and I think that's what defense he'll get in the nfl until he shows he can move a team consistently in the pocket. Especially the first half tape made it look like he would have problems running an nfl offense and I don't think his escape ability will be as helpful in the nfl as it was in college. He could learn to make plays from the pocket instead of on the run but I personally don't think that warrants the #10 pick.

Not to be a cork or anything, but I'm going to throw owner on that heap too.

I've seen enough, thanks for trolling.

I just don't see how Mahomes is going to be able to consistently throw from the pocket. Seems like he really thrives on getting out of the pocket and letting it rip, which he does very well. I don't see that translating to the nfl real well.

Just get them out of the house asap, it's too late for you.

They mentioned on nfl network that mayock would re-order the qbs as necessary after all their pro days were complete.
