i wonder if there are any legs on Dak to the Browns via trade. i don’t know how reliable Bruce Drennan is but it’d make a bit more sense why Myles resigned (aside from cashing in obv).
Who is left in the Cowboy QB room now? Just Dak?
I think Ewers will be a Cowboy

It makes sense that the Browns would sacrifice their draft to try and win now.
Myles, Stefanski, Andrew Berry. Those guys need to win now. Overpay draft picks to roll out Dak, Jeudy, Auyuik, and Nijoku.
Can they pull it off? We shall see.
The Browns are going to end up with Captain Kirk.:)!

Whomever was the clown who talked about this trade never heard of athing called the salary cap. A trade takes both QB's SB and puts it to the cap right now. Neither team can afford to take that cap hit. Dak cap hit on a trade is $150 million dollars.

Like duh, ya know? Watson's contract means you can't spend any significant money at the QB spot. Browns are playing vet minimum guys or rookie contracts at QB for the next two years. They put more void money in 2027 cap to make it work this year. So, Browns are going to want rookie contract QB for the next three years. Watson't cap hit next year as it stands now is 82 million!!

The issue with this trade ever happening is the idiots at the tops of these teams. They are 2 of the worst, unsuccessful teams in the past 25 yrs due to the way that the teams are run, and to terrible decision making. Even if a Dak trade helped both teams, and it was fiscally possible, the two teams combined could not figure out how to make it happen

Of all QBs drafted in the last ten years, how many (and which ones) would you say are "safe" buys? As in, barring injury or unforeseen criminal behavior, you could expect their prices to stay pretty stable for the next five years?

Of all QBs drafted in the last ten years, how many (and which ones) would you say are "safe" buys? As in, barring injury or unforeseen criminal behavior, you could expect their prices to stay pretty stable for the next five years?Lol, there are busts ever year.
None of the 2025 ones are "safe" by any means.
For 2024, only probably Nix and Penix were experienced and consistent in college against major opponents...
They'd have been the safest bets to do at least ok and not wash out of the NFL...
but the NFL is still a hugely situation/team game...
and injuries happen all the time.
So yeah, talk of "safe" picks is pretty much nonsense.
Fields was viewed as safe. Zach Wilson. Bryce Young. Many others.
...as for current NFL QBs already in the league? Mahomes is the only one who will be remembered much 10yrs after his retirement.
The cards of other QBs will carry fairly little long term value unless they win - and win soon.
They will end up as the Aaron Rodgers and Eli and Favre and BBen and Matt Ryan and Rivers, etc were in Brady era. [Peyton are ok valued]
If you want to buy other non-Mahomes QBs, have a flip mentality if they make a SB, win MVP, etc... even if they win ROY.
Tough to realize it as it seems he has a golden road ahead, but Jayden Daniels' value may never be higher than it was during last year playoff run and right now. No joke.
Sure, Josh Allen or Lamar might have a shot at HOF, but we'll see. They're still going to end up as also-rans in Mahomes' era.
Burrow is probably the best true talent outside Pat, but he's been hurt a lot.

Lamar with his 2 MVPs is close to being a shoe in for the HOF.
In a few years when Josh Allen gets to 100 rushing touchdowns to go along with his 300+ passing touchdowns, as well as his MVP and anything else he might accomplish along the way, he'll be a shoe in as well. Both those guys are just 28 with good teams set up around them and should rack up wins for years to come.
But I don't disagree with you too much about the hobby. There's not much room at the top to be remembered, and it might not happen for everyone you listed.

MVP is decided mostly by the establishment sports media milieu. Its group think. No one should be getting into the hall of fame based on their milieu opinion. Its of very little value, all milieu opinions are. Most of them work for dying media companies that are dying even harder now that their grant money is gone.
Lamar is just a good QB thats played for a few years and won a few playoff games. Thats it.

For the next 5 years? So you mean you would buy now, hold it for 5 years and then see how much the value has gone up? The answer would be any likable QB that will win a ring in the next 5 years.
I'm not sure what else matters besides besides being a QB thats likable and has a ring. Has to be both, cant be one or the other.

People who get to vote for MVP wear that title with pride, they like that they are have it, they like people know they have it, its a cool title to have. They like the social aspect and the luncheons and all the clout freebies that goes with it.
In 2023 one guy went against the grain and voted JA instead of Lamar and talking heads like Stephen A publicly reprimanded him in a rant on TV (if thats how you want to put it) You think that guy wants that to happen to him again? No he wants to be apart of the milieu. He will NEVER go against the grain again.
Awards are BS and don't translate to who is actually great on the field. Its inaccurate.

The logic would be that you're not allowed to bind with a ball carrier.
Similar to how you aren't allowed to bind with another blocker on kick return. All us former college/high school kick off team wedge-busters understand why.
The vote has been tabled until at least May.

Jed York's comments on the Purdy contract negotiations were a little strange. "when he's ready we'll sit down and finish it......shouldn't be that hard to do." When he's ready? I thought Purdy was disappointed that the process continues to linger. Kinda sounds like the 9ers said "this is what your worth, sign here pease" and left it at that.

You are allowed to Tush Push while playing D. But then its just called "Goal line defense". But its the same thing. All the safeties and linebackers come up to push the Dline men into the ball carrier. Then its one big scrum.
If the D can, and has always been able to do that. The O should be allowed to as well.

Funny part is that Milton has never played in a real game (preseason and week 18 garbage game only).
But hey, we shall see. It's a horrid QB draft 2025... Milton would've been a mid round pick if he were in this year and not 2024.
I'm sure being on Cowboys helps bazooka Joe's card values (hint: sell NOW!!!... or at least before the season starts).

So Cousins wants to be cut now. If I am ATL why cut him and let him play to someone else for nothing? Might as well keep him as a expensive backup. If Penix struggles you got Cousins to fall back on. Otherwise if Cousins wants to be cut I tell him ok you redo your contract take agree to your base salary to be non-guaranteed this year and forgo your roster bonus next year that way ATL saves like $38 million against the cap.

Historically, there is absolutely no guarantee that even 1 good QB comes out of a draft.
1990 - N. O'Donnell (1x PB)
1991 - Favre (HOF)
1992 - J. Blake (1x PB), B. Johnson (2x PB)
1993 - Bledsoe (4x PB), Brunell (3x PB), Grbac (1x PB), T. Green (2x PB)
1994 - Dilfer (1x PB), Freotte (1xPB)
1995 - McNair (3x PB), K.Collins (2xPB), K.Stewart (1x PB)
1996 - none
1997 - J. Plummer (1x PB)
1998 - P. Manning (HOF), B. Griese (1x PB), M. Hasselback (3x PB)
1999 - McNabb (6x PB), Culpepper (3x PB)
2000 - M. Bulger (2x PB), Brady (HOF)
2001 - M.Vick (4x PB), Brees (HOF)
2002 - D. Garrard (1x PB)
2003 - C. Palmer (3x PB)
2004 - M. Schaub (2x PB), B. Roethlisberger (6x PB), E.Manning (4x PB), Rivers (8x PB)
2005 - A. Smith (3x PB), A. Rodgers (10x PB), D. Anderson (1x PB), M. Cassell (1x PB)
2006 - V.Young (2x PB), J.Cutler (1x PB)
2007 - none
2008 - M. Ryan (4x PB)
2009 - M. Stafford (2x PB)
2010 - none
2011 - C. Newton (3x PB), A. Dalton (3x PB), T. Taylor (1x PB)
2012 - A. Luck (4x PB), RGIII (1x PB), Tannehill (1x PB), R. Wilson (10x PB), K. Cousins (4x PB)
2013 - G. Smith (2x PB)
2014 - Bridgewater (1x PB), D. Carr (4x PB)
2015 - J. Winston (1x PB)
2016 - Goff (4x PB), Wentz (1x PB), D. Prescott (3x PB)
2017 - Mahomes (6x PB), D. Watson (3x PB), Trubisky (1x PB)
2018 - Mayfield (2x PB), Darnold (1x PB), J. Allen (3x PB), L. Jackson (4x PB)
2019 - K. Murray (2x PB), Minshew (1x PB)
In the last 30 years, 30 QBs drafted I'd qualify as Good or above. Within that group, there are possibly 15 Hall of Fame QBs.
Now, 13 of the 30 drafts between 1990-2019 did not have a QB that I would place in that good or above list. This means that nearly half of the drafts within that 30-year window did not have a QB that was worth leading the franchise.
I still have to study more tape on these QB's to make my final decision on the QB's in this draft but at this point I am not high on any QB in this draft.

Chad Pennington led the NFL in completion percentage twice and was the highest rated QB in 2002
Making a Pro Bowl is fairly arbitrary

also, especially in the skillset positions, a good amount of people are selected purely for the fact that the original ones selected declined or opted out of the Pro Bowl for numerous reasons.

Trey McBride the top paid TE in the league?
Am I missing something here?
I get it: he's not bad. But he's a pretty average starting TE.
Dude has scored 6 TDs in three seasons. Duh-harrrr?
Marv Jr scored more than that in just his rook year.
And we wonder why Arizona never makes the playoffs. Wow.

Chad Pennington led the NFL in completion percentage twice and was the highest rated QB in 2002
Making a Pro Bowl is fairly arbitrary
Not that Pennington is a star but plenty of teams would at least accept his career
No doubt. There were a couple of guys I could have included like Pennington, but I decided to stay strict to the list. There were more than a few I'd like to remove from the list as well. I used the Pro Bowl as a barometer, but it's far from perfect as Chad Pennington shows.
The point is that not every draft has 1 or 2 good QB's who have long productive careers. It's actually a flip of the coin whether or not a draft will produce that type of QB.

He might have not had the TDs but had 111 catches for over 1,100 yards last year. That's WR1 on many teams. I mean Metcalf got over 30 million a year for just about the same.

You’re always missing something.
He’s not an average TE. On top of being Kyler’s security blanket (no one on offense commands the trust from Kyler like McBride), he is also a fantastic blocker. I’ll pay a premium for that.
His receiving accolades in that offense is very good considering the style of offense they run.
Historically, there is absolutely no guarantee that even 1 good QB comes out of a draft.

In the last 30 years, 30 QBs drafted I'd qualify as Good or above. Within that group, there are possibly 15 Hall of Fame QBs.
Now, 13 of the 30 drafts between 1990-2019 did not have a QB that I would place in that good or above list. This means that nearly half of the drafts within that 30-year window did not have a QB that was worth leading the franchise.
I still have to study more tape on these QB's to make my final decision on the QB's in this draft but at this point I am not high on any QB in this draft.
But not every team, every year, needs a new QB. Most of your "Top 30" ended up playing for a decade or more. I think its pretty common knowledge that there are only a couple good QBs to enter the draft each year. Which is why the hobby goes nuts for years like 1999 or 2004. When the class at least seems to be stocked.
Also weird that your list doesn't have 2020, with Hurts, Herbert, Tua, Burrow and Love. Thats 5 big ones right there

Get ready for other WRs like Diggs and Godwin to really have their production drop off a cliff 2025. It's really a tough position once you lose a step. Also not easy to rehab major injuries at 30+.
Hopkins might be ok as a jump ball guy, like Julio's pathetic last years.
Mike Evans and Davante seem to still be going strong... but Kupp looks pretty washed.

HOF likes to look at peak dominance, so Julio was a top WR or the top receiver for some years he played.
Guys like Boldin or Mike Evans or etc have a tough time since they played awhile and played well... but they were always the 5th or 8th or 10th or whatever ranked In any year. They were never considered highly elite or dominant versus peers.
There are guys like SSmith Jr, Holt, Wayne, Boldin waiting as HOF WR candidates though.

M. Evans appears to have a case, but obviously not 1st ballot. I don't know the answer, but am going to pose the question - are there any modern candidates in the HOF who have zero All-Pros? It's the Frank Gore question. Can you get in with no identified peak? It's an interesting case.

Isaac Bruce.
Bruce wound up with 15,000 yards, 91 TDs.
If Evans winds up with 14,000 and 110, that probably puts him head of Bruce. Both have 1 SB. Evans has 6 Pro Bowls to Bruce's 4.
Tim Brown also had no All Pros, had no Super Bowls, but 9 Pro bowls
Andre Reed had no all Pros, had no Super Bowls, and 7 Pro Bowls.
Rickey Jackson had no all Pros.
Those are all the inductees I could find since 2010. Enough precedence at WR for me to think Evans has a good chance.

I was looking up some Mike Evans stats the other day and I noticed he pretty much never fumbles. I looked it up and he has the lowest fumble to catch ratio of all time for wide receivers (there was some sort of minimum catch standard I can't remember). His ESPN stats have him at 2 lost fumbles and just 3 total fumbles. Wherever I looked up the stat, they had him at 3 lost fumbles. Either way, crazy impressive, last fumble was in 2018. Probably doesn't do much for HOF voting but like I said, really impressive.

His career numbers will be good/great depending on how long he goes.
He has a shot at HOF. A decent shot.
His main issue is he's never the top guy... never really top 3 any given year... seldom top 5.
HOF is largely judged against peers of the player's day:
Julio, Antonio Brown, DHop, Demaryus, etc were better than Mike early career.
Tyreek, Davante, Diggs, MThomas, etc were better than him mid-career.
JChase, JJeff, Lamb, Amon-Ra, etc are better than him now.
Isaac Bruce was a very good example... consistently good, never elite. We shall see. I bet Mike Evans waits awhile, gets into HOF in a weak year - many years after his retirement. His other problem is that many modern era WRs with modern inflated stats now retrire... 1000yd seasons are not at all rare for modern NFL.
I don't think Julio's a lock... but he's significantly more likely than Mike Evans. Both probably get in years after becoming HOF eligible.

Cleveland fans (potentially) received some good news this morning on PFT.com. According to Florio they have an insurance contract on Watson which could potentially provide over $50 million in cap relief.
I stand by my statement that if 2026 is Watson's final year in Cleveland (or he gets cut next offseason with a post-June 1st designation) then all his void year dead cap money accelerates to 2027. They cannot "kick the can" any further than 2027.
BUT
It looks like the dead cap figure is going to be much less than currently anticipated. If the insurance contract pays, which is still a big IF, they could potentially structure it to hit $40 million per year in '26 and '27 and be free and clear.
$40 million is still a big hit for a guy not on your team, but much better than the $90 million hit it might otherwise be.

Does he have an emotional connection to the team his father played for 20 years before he was even born? Maybe, maybe not... but it is quite a stretch to assume he would. He didn't pick his grandfather's (or uncle's) college.
I also don't think he would alter his 4-year college plan just because of who has the 2026 #1 overall.

Personally, I took them 150-1 to win SB (small wager, easy hedge if they make playoffs).
Kellen Moore had basically his pick of coaching jobs, and he didn't go there to do a rebuild and get fired in a couple years.
I hope Saints stay #9 and take WR or TE... but OL is probably the smart move if value is there.
Their team as-is isn't as bad as ppl seem to think. They had a lot of 2024 injuries, just like Dallas or SF did. All 3 of those teams will be back fairly strong 2025.

Mike Evans - 2 - 2nd team all pro, lead the league in receiving TD’s once, 1 Super Bowl, 836 receptions, 12,684 yards and 105 td’s. He’s also only 31 and has a few more years to add to his resume
Julio jones - 5 all pros (2-1st teams and 3-second teams), lead the league in receiving yards twice and receptions once - 914 receptions, 13,703 yards and 66 td’s

Michael Irvin , Andrew Reed , Tim Brown , Issac Bruce? ... to compare to today's NFL pass catchers who are retiring now and onward?
No. Maybe stick to hockey?
There are a LOT of WRs - and even more QBs - who are now finishing up, and will continue to, with inflated stats.
The 2004 rules changes (https://www.espn.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=1840261) for DBs and PI calls, holding at the line, etc have changed a lot. Stats for pass+rec RAPIDLY became inflated.
Ever since the "Ty Law rules" went into effect, all of the WRs have better numbers now. Quarterbacks even moreso. 3/4 of those WR you mentioned played before that rule change (one played largely before, a few years into it). Those are NOT "compare favourably to the 4 players mentioned"... nope, sorry. Totally different eras. Look at the stats:
Of the top 25 WR yardage seasons ever, 16 of 25 have come after that 2004 rule change.
Of the top 25 QB pass yardage seasons ever, 24 of the 25 have come after the 2004 rule change (Marino's biggest season is sole exception).
There are waaay more 1000yd receivers every season now than 25+ years ago.
1000yds receiving season barely means anything now. Even good TEs do it fairly commonly.
4000yds passing means little, and we have a 5000yd passer - or multiple - nearly every year since that rules change also (5k was the grail, before the rule changes).
Do you think there is any coincidence here?
Or maybe you want to tell us about some Alabama antelope Don Hutson stats and how those apply to today's HOF voting? :rolleyes:

Wow, what a terrible take, bud. They may get in, but those comparisons are nutso.
Michael Irvin , Andrew Reed , Tim Brown , Issac Bruce? ... to compare to today's NFL pass catchers who are retiring now and onward?
No. Maybe stick to hockey?
There are a LOT of WRs - and even more QBs - who are now finishing up, and will continue to, with inflated stats.
The 2004 rules changes (https://www.espn.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=1840261) for DBs and PI calls, holding at the line, etc have changed a lot. Stats for pass+rec RAPIDLY became inflated.
Ever since the "Ty Law rules" went into effect, all of the WRs have better numbers now. Quarterbacks even moreso. 3/4 of those WR you mentioned played before that rule change (one played largely before, a few years into it). Those are NOT "compare favourably to the 4 players mentioned"... nope, sorry. Totally different eras. Look at the stats:
Of the top 25 WR yardage seasons ever, 16 of 25 have come after that 2004 rule change.
Of the top 25 QB pass yardage seasons ever, 24 of the 25 have come after the 2004 rule change (Marino's biggest season is sole exception).
There are waaay more 1000yd receivers every season now than 25+ years ago.
1000yds receiving season barely means anything now. Even good TEs do it fairly commonly.
4000yds passing means little, and we have a 5000yd passer - or multiple - nearly every year since that rules change also (5k was the grail, before the rule changes).
Do you think there is any coincidence here?
Or maybe you want to tell us about some Alabama antelope Don Hutson stats and how those apply to today's HOF voting? :rolleyes:
Really? Want to check that bud?
1994 had 19 players over 1000 receiving yards (the following year we had 23 over 1000 receiving yards)
2004 had 24 players over 1000 receiving yards
2014 had 23 players over 1000 receiving yards
2024 had 24 players over 1000 receiving yards
Your take is awful my dude. Doesn’t look like there is considerably more 1000 yard receivers per year from when guys like brown, Irvin, Reed and Bruce were playing. Seems pretty consistent over the last 30 years

Who even takes Derek Carr seriously at this point?I think he was viewed as a fairly solid 3rd tier guy back when he was throwing to Devanta, but that was over 2 years ago now... and he's 34 years old, injured in a few ways since, and ridiculously overpaid.
Derek was never elite, and nobody confuses him for Mahomes or Burrow... but he was in that 3rd tier of quarterbacks with Cousins, Dak, TLaw, Geno Smith, etc. He was basically the type of guy where you might be able to win with a good team around him... and you could do a lot worse in terms of starting QB. He wasn't a joke like Justin Fields or Daniel Jones or Zach Wilson where the team had no chance.
But now? He's older, way overpaid, coming off multiple injuries... basically a non-factor (again, would've been cut if not for such big dead cap hit... certain to be a cut next offseason).

He was thrown to the wolves last year with Olave, Kamara, OL, etc missing... but he didn't look lost. He played good, interviewed good for a rookie on a terrible team + interim coach that was getting destroyed weekly.
However, they CLEARLY need to bring in someone at QB for the roster... trade/FA or draft, probably both. It will happen.
Haener is absolutely horrible (only start he fell down 0-14 with 4-10-49-0-1 against a mediocre Wash team... before Rattler came in after halftime and brought them all the way back with XP to tie/win). Haener is too small and simply not good, and he needs to be cut... not an NFL talent, which was obvious when rookie Rattler blew past him on depth chart to fill in for Carr despite Jake being on the team and taking reps a year longer.
Haener and the Cowboys' bust pick (DiNucci... XFL / practice squad guy) are unlikely to make the Saints 53 man team.
...It would make sense to work out a vet like Wentz or Tanehill or Bridgewater who has good mentor value and fair skill. They're probably waiting a couple weeks (until after the draft) at this point. DiNucci as their roster "vet" with about one total NFL game worth of snaps played ever, back in 2020, is scary. It's possible they'll see what vets are cap casualty in preseason, but that's fairly risky.
If the Carr injury is serious (it might be overblown?) and they don't want ARodg (who the heck would, lol), then the 2025 NOLA depth QB chart will likely be Rattler QB1, vet QB2, rookie QB3.

I liked Rattler as a possible draft sleeper too, but how can you say 'he's the real deal' based on what he did last year? 57% completion %, 4 TDs 5 picks. While he clearly looked better than Haener, that is not exactly a high bar. To be fair to Rattler, that offense was down to MVS as their #1 weapon which is a nightmare scenario. While I don't think you can write off Rattler based on that crap show of an offense last year, I also don't understand how he was "the real deal" either based on those crappy stats he put up. If he put up great stats with crappy weapons, that would be something to be excited about.
I think they probably hang on to him, but probably not as a starter. At the very least, he gets some competition via the draft, or Tanner McKee gets traded to them to start. Contrast McKee against Rattler, 4 TDs on 41 passes with no picks. Started for the Eagles throwing to backup WRs against the Giants #1 D players. 66% completion % no turnovers. McKee had as many TD passes on 45 passes as Rattler had on 228. Given the head coaches ties to the Eagles and McKee, don't be surprised if they deal him to the Saints.

You're missing the point. The Eagles don't have to trade Tanner McKee. He has value to them this year. They have a ton of draft capital and a young backup QB on the cheap. Given that Roseman has received firsts in previous QB deals for older guys with bad/worse contracts, there's very little incentive for them to trade McKee for a third round pick, in my opinion.

They have no depth if Carr isn't going to play. They will do something.
But it was clear from 2024 Rattler can play at NFL speed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcZRyu-rWzM), has a strong arm to make good throws (typically on the RUN), can extend plays. The pressure and lack of dependable pocket he faces was insane. Watch him squirt of sack after sack. I think he made great decisions and minimized turnovers for the Saints all things considered. At this point, him being a 5th or 3rd or 1st overall or whatever pick no longer matters (aside from cap in a couple more years). What matters is he played - and beat - top competition in college (on a good OU team and then a shaky SC team), and now he has played well in pros - despite serious pocket duress. To add to it, he was very good and calm and positive with postgame interviews (a major part of NFL, and cards, popularity) despite the railroad of losses and struggles for his team.
In 2024 rook year, watching Rattler was similar to watching Drake Maye: some flashes, but a pretty horrid team around him. Had he played enough games, Rattler's record would've been similar (Maye only played against 4 playoff teams all year, won none of them (@Buf, vs LAC, vs LAR, vs Hou).
Rattler played 6 of his 7 rookie NFL games against all playoff teams (@TB, @LAC, @GB, vs Den, vs Was, vs TB, vs LV).
He was literally throwing to Bub Means, Foster Morneau, Kendre Miller, other practice squad talent... behind a makeshift offensive line. Starting WRs Olave and Rashid Shaheed didn't play any games Rattler started, and start TE Juwan Johnson and RB Kamara missed most of Rattler's starts also. That't not to mention interim HC and staff in there for Saints most of 2024.
So yeah, being a rookie QB is hard. Rookie QB with a crap team is very hard. Crap team + few/no preseason starter reps = amazingly hard. Even Mahomes or Burrow would've been lucky to go 2-4 in that stretch of Rattler games with that preseason quality roster against playoff teams. Maybe Josh Allen or Lamar goes 3-3 as they can scramble? Almost any other rookie QB would've done worse than Spencer. Haener did much worse. Carr didn't do well after NO had injuries either (lost @Car and nearly lost @NYG, then got hurt again).
Both Maye and Rattler have almost nowhere to go but up 2025 (except Maye's values are fairly high due to #3 pick... Rattler's are pretty low).
You're missing the point. The Eagles don't have to trade Tanner McKee. He has value to them this year. They have a ton of draft capital and a young backup QB on the cheap.

Eagles will just keep him (as said you and above by a few ppl). Hurts gets hurt a lot. They might also draft a QB, pick up Huntley, etc. Unless he's drastically improved, DTR is a likely preseason cut.

04-15-2025, 01:25 PM
I would think McKee isn't worth trading unless somebody really blows them away with an offer. Given Mckee has only 45 pass attempts, that isn't likely to happen. Most teams don't want to move to much trade capital for back up QBs unless they are on the cusp of a Super Bowl with an injured starting QB. Hurts is bound to get dinged up based on his running style and the copious amounts of tush pushes. McKee knows the system and his cheap, more value to the Eagles to just keep him.
Saints may as well let Rattler play it out this year and get a full look anyways. Haener sucks as a backup, I get it, but really he is the 3rd string. I get the free agent cupboard is bare. If Rattler stinks it up, draft somebody next year. Carr has a big cap hit next year, they will need to work around. Rookie QB contracts help that.

Herbert has a new job of being "Game manager extraordinaire" as Harbough builds his offense around him.

...Burrow will be the first QB pick off the board in fantasy...The whipper snappers are more into the runner QBs for FFB now. Josh Allen, Lamar, maybe JDaniels, Hurts will be top fantasy picks. They want the rush yards and the goal line sneaks.
Burrow, Mahomes, Goff, maybe JJ McCarthy and Penix and the real passers go a bit later.
It's too bad. Mike Vick started it when he'd be the top fantasy QB (or player overall) even though his team wouldn't make playoffs. :confused:
It's like how the real between-the-tackles classic RBs get largely overshadowed by the RBs who catch a lot of swing passes since it's all PPR now.

Burrow will be the first QB pick off the board in fantasy, and the Bengals went Yolo on offensive weapons but apparently dont plan of playing much defense.
Maybe Trevor finds a way to improve from consistently average. Or maybe not
Have they? They haven't lived up to the hype, especially Herbert & Lawrence, and I wouldn't be shocked if McKee becomes a more successful QB than any of them
Yeah, let's keep talking about Herbert, Burrow, and Lawrence, and how they were the greatest investments ever, and how 'one of these days' they are going to actually do something :doh:
I agree, let’s talk about QBs that have started since they were rookies, compared to a scrub backup.

Yup. Over the past 10 years, only Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow have won the AFC Championship game. And if we roll back to 2013, you can add Peyton Manning to that list. And no one else. Just those four.
Pretty good company.

Wow.
So a lot of people around here would probably call me the biggest Burrow hater on this board.... and fair enough, I've been more critical than most of him.
But that man threw for 43 TDs last year, 4900 yards, and took his team to the Super Bowl.
Herbert is about 2 years and 1 month older than McKee. He has thrown for 20,700 more yards and 133 more TDs. Lets see if Tanner can make up the ground on those numbers over the next 2 years from the bench.

He's hopeless "I'm gonna be smarter than everyone else and find that next big thing QB, and if that doesn't work, I'll just pump him endlessly because maybe it'll increase prices on eBay" guy.
I've seen different iterations of this guy in the hobby since Kevin Kolb was drafted, and it turns out the same every time: They cycle through loser QBs until they finally hit one that ends up being a 2 time pro bowler, or quit the hobby with nothing but dollar bin cards to show for it.

https://media.tenor.com/DkY1RXTKCFsAAAAM/dark-knight.gifPeople confuse wanting the cards they own to go up in price... with the player actually being good. It's the same with fantasy football: everyone thinks they have the best team right after the draft ends.
The guy thinks Trask, McKee are the next big thing out of hope. He might truly believe it, lol.
It's classic wanting for what you currently have to be golden (prospects riding the bench)...
while despising what you don't have (star QBs).
The prices are what they are for a reason.
It's myopic to look at price and not value which you get (1 Mahomes RC or 1 Brady RC is better than 15 Bo Nix RC or 15 Favre RCs).
Of course it's easy to get cheap cards of lower end QB prospects (I did it a bit with Malik Willis when I got back into NFL cards). It's typically not going to be a value move.

Sam Howell on the trade block with Seattle having Darnold + Lock... last year of Howell's rookie deal $1.1M this year, then FA next offseason.
He could reportedly get cut if they don't find a trade. (since Drew Lock is awesome??? wtf)
Pitt could consider it?
I wouldn't mind if Minn picked him up. (one year trial/depth like Dan Jones was)
He'd be a much better backup for Chargers, Broncos, Texans, etc playoff teams than what they have?
He could compete to start for Colts or Titans ...probably a few other teams too.
I can't imagine the price would be any more than maybe a 6th rd pick (likely a 6th for a 7th or something).
It's one of weakest QB drafts in recent memory, so I'd think Howell would have at least a bit of interest post-draft.
Sam is only 24 yrs old and was not amazing for Washington, but he showed flashes. He makes teams a threat to win... more than you can say for a lot of young QBs that just sit there and take sacks. He kinda looked like a young Favre or Rivers (many INTs, but slinging it and giving his team a chance). Unless he's way out of shape or something, I'd imagine he gets a chance to contribute somewhere. We'll see.

Well the guy is 4&2 in the playoffs. And you did NOT mention in addition to his 6 TDS he has only 1 pick. And when the 49ers get down to the goal line, who gets the ball? The RB. Purdy doesn't pad stats by rushing it in. Also, don't forget Purdy is a last rd pick NOT a 1st rd pick. Guys like Allen and Burrow should be doing a lot more to lift their teams to SB wins.

How does him throwing a pick make up for only 1 TD per game? As if that stat line erases what I said. And for sure, he is doing more than his draft position. But that is not an argument being made. You wanted to compare him to 3 perennial MVP candidates.
And yes, we both agree he cant rush. 200 yards per season on average. I don't know how that helps your argument. Allen averages triple that, and has 32 rushing TD's (including the playoffs) over the last 2 seasons.
Thank you for pointing out even more flaws in Purdy's game, compared to the others on your list. If you think Purdy alone does more for his team, than Burrow, Allen and Lamar. I cant help you.

"Tempers flared" during the meeting, per ESPN's account. Lurie's "wet dream" analogy drew the ire of NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent, who reportedly chastised Lurie for making the comment in front of women in the room.
The following 10 teams reportedly saved the tush push by voting against the proposal:
Philadelphia Eagles
Baltimore Ravens
Cleveland Browns
Detroit Lions
Jacksonville Jaguars
Miami Dolphins
New England Patriots
New Orleans Saints
New York Jets
Tennessee Titans

If I was the Eagles in a meaningless game, I'd run the tush push from their own 20 to the other end of the field. See if they could score a TD.

Yeah Eagles fans not that bright. They keep trying to troll the Packers and their fans despite this was 100% brought up by the league itself. They wanted this banned and used the Packers because Mark Murphy is retiring in July as team president. They figured he could take the blame for bringing this up and that no other owner would have to take the blame.
Though first time a injury happens to a starting QB you know they will be running to ban this in a 32-0 vote.
Until then keep it but be fair call offsides on the play when the OL always seems to be offsides when lining up to run the tush push. If you want to ban it have the refs start calling it as it should be.

The Patriots know what it feels like to have rules changed on them because of another team being whiny crybabies.

Truth.
One of the main complaints by defenses is that they use a hard count sometimes so that is what makes it unfair. They want it so that you have to go on the first count, that would even up the odds. I'm almost ok with that but at this point, let the Eagles keep doing it and making everyone else mad.

I think the Eagles should do it more. 3rd and 3? Tush push twice if needed. Anywhere on the field.
Then other teams will copy.
And we will have 10+ tush pushes each game
Then it'll get banned because no one wants to watch rugby/football.

Not buying it. Packers wanted it banned, cause Jordan Love couldn't do it as well. He just pushes his own tush...

Packers HC and GM have said they could care less about Tush Push. NFL pushed Murphy into it he's retiring so why should he care if it makes him look bad.

Only two teams use the "tush push" with any real success. Personally, I would have been really surprised if it was actually banned.

To be clear on the "Tush Push" vote, the Packers were used as a vessel by the NFL, which wanted to see it banned. The Packers don't give a sh!t whether it is banned or not, but Goodell convinced Mark Murphy to submit the resolution. This is for two reasons:
1. The Packers have no owner. There will be no blowback to any one individual since the Packers are essentially run by a management team, and the head of team, the President....see #2
2. Mark Murphy is retiring due to the Packers' mandatory age 70 requirement to do so. So if folks around the league get super pissed at Murphy for bringing this up for a vote, he's gone in 2 months. Now there's no one to be mad at.
Guys, the NFL wanted this gone. They got close, and I'm betting next time they'll have the votes.

Not trying to be salacious... I'd like to say thank you to Kenny Pickett for your time in Philly, you were a class guy, stepped in when we needed you, and played well through a lot of pain on your way to helping the Eagles secure their second Super Bowl win. Plus you got to take snaps in a Super Bowl!
But on the Eagles subreddit, it seems Pickett took some shots at Steelers Nation today:
During the Browns‘ OTAs, Pickett expressed his gratitude for the Eagles‘ organization but took a subtle jab at the Steelers, the team that picked him during the 2022 NFL draft.
“I’m extremely grateful for my time in Philly,” Pickett said on Wednesday.
“I think I was just shown how it’s supposed to be done, really, from the top down. So when you get a chance to see what it’s supposed to look like and how it should look on a day-to-day basis, not just on Sundays. You know, I think it’ll pay dividends for me in the future.”

The Packer backers are all worked up over this I see. Everyone knows it makes their organization look soft for wanting it banned.
Packer Fans, yes we put it up for vote. But we didn't want to, they made us. But we still did it cause we are soft.

Pretty badass that the Lions voted no on the ban, being a favorite in the NFC and playing the Eagles head-to-head this year.
My cousin married into a Lions household and lives in Detroit now. Her husband, a lifelong Lions fan, wants to come to the Lions / Eagles game in Philadelphia this year.
I told him probably best he didn't wear a Lions jersey to the game, but he said he's worn Lions gear at all the NFC North Division opponents' stadiums and never had any problems but for verbal sparring. But the Lions / Eagles is a 8:20pm start. The later the start, the rowdier the crowd, generally. I still have time to talk him out of it...

What is there to deflect? 22 teams voted with the Packers. The Packers were the one that had issue with it, and put it up for vote.
It isnt like the Bears suggested it. But keep trying! Just like the Lions have for 60 years to make a super bowl!

Yeah they the #1 worst fans. Obviously not all of them. Pretty sad adults can’t wear a jersey to support their team at an away game
