Darren Sproles named Pro Football Writers Assoc. All-NFL team as punt returner. Jason Peters, Connor Barwin, Fletcher Cox made all-NFC team.

Because Seattle fell ### backwards into Russell Wilson we should want anyone a associated with the franchise? For all the QB talk in the Eagles threads, let not forget plan A and B in Seattle involved Matt Flynn and T. Jackson here. Imagine that

I think Fitterer was in charge of College scouting and would have had absolutely NOTHING to do with the Flynn/T. Jackson experiments.

Seems like a guy that would be a great hire to me
"Fitterer joined the Seahawks in 2001 as an area scout and served five seasons as western region director of college scouting before being named to his current position. In the first four drafts with Fitterer as director of college scouting, the Seahawks selected 13 starters – including the All-Pro tandem of free safety Earl Thomas (first round, 2010) and cornerback Richard Sherman (fifth round, 2011) and Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson (third round, 2012)."
Tommy Lawlor recently mentioned that Fitterer is a name he's intrigued by.
"Scott Fitterer is the name that seemed most fascinating to me. He is their Director of College Scouting and has had a strong hand in helping to build a terrific roster. He knows about how they obsess on athletic ability and how that’s helped them find some late round/UDFA gems."

Yeah, why would we want anyone from the Super Bowl Champs who are about to play at home in the NFC Championship?
I agree, that would be really stupid.

I think what is exciting about their squad is the defensive unit, specifically the DB's with the only one being a high pick being the one we passed on for Graham.

Even if he had a good hand in it, I think he'd be a nice upgrade.
Remember we kinda need someone young, talented, who isn't going to knock heads over a power struggle with Chip. Guy seems to like athletic fast players, knows how to build good defensive units through the draft, and a "GM" job is a big step up for him so he might not come in guns blazing. Seems perfect based on that. But again, obviously TONS of factors about him that we know nothing of yet.

I agree. My only issue is that this is not a true GM position and I can see that limiting us to people without much ambition.

Could be because he's on the same field as Jones but I don't see the arm with Mariota

At best he's starter quality. Even that level of play will take a few years of grooming. He's just another QB with pumped up stats from a QB friendly, simplistic, gimmicky offense. For some reason we can't get enough of these type of QBs in the draft. Upside: Kevin Kolb
Downside: Geno Smith/ Derrick Carr
The downside is not worth it(nor is the upside in my book). He's not going to take any team to another level.

I love McCoy, and would miss him and his personality....but if he was the lynchpin in a deal for Mariota, its a no brainer.
Hell, we could easily use his $12M to upgrade the OL, sign a dback, and get a reliable RB to share the load with Sproles and Polk while Mariota learns the ropes for a year or two.

If he's not throwing a screen pass or a 5 yard slant he's shaky. Not incompetent, but there's trouble projecting him to the next level.

We need that first rounder to be OL or secondary. Not QB.

I agree, nice college player but just not sure he is a guy you mortgage the farm for.

Saw a report that Oregon OC Scott Frost is expected to draw some interest from NFL teams. A potential option if Shurmur moves on, wouldn't you think?

The arrogant Cowboys fan from last week can't find enough tissues this week....take it like a man you lost and never should have been playing thus weekend.

If he falls to 20, then sure. Because its Chips guy and we gave up nothing to get him. But if we have to move up inside the top 8, I'll be less than happy.
JaxBill

Not convinced he can make the tough throws in NFL. Rather use a first rounder on a guy who is a clear upgrade at a position of need.
Insein
Footballguy
Me too. I'm just saying what Chip is most likely to do. I have to resign myself to the fact that he will take Mariota f he falls to the teens.
Bigboy10182000

If Chip is as smart as everyone believes he is than he knows what Marriota is and whether or not his game translates to the NFL. Even Chip himself has removed a lot of the "college stuff" from his game over this past year. This is looking more and more like last season IMHO. I'm beginning to believe that we will have a shot at him and we will pass

....and will take Cardale Jones 3 rounds later to develop behind Foles.
Hey today is the day to throw it out there I guess haha.

Neither WR is going anywhere but this is something that always boggled my mind. If any team is going to give up picks why NOT for someone like these 2? Why not part with 2 first round picks for Dez Bryant?
I think if we lose Maclin and have positive net outflows of free agents,we'll get a third or fourth round compensatory pick.

This. He should have started the sentence with "The radio has gone" instead of "We've"

Funniest part is the yahoos calling in and saying Mariotas a bum. Let's get that Cardel Jones. He's a stud.
Same people that bailed on Foles for Sanchez, Vick for Foles, Kolb for Vick, McNabb for Kolb and so on. They're dumb and desperate for a winner that they don't give anyone a chance to get there.

Mikey Miss and Angelo Cataldi are leading the Mariota charge IMO. Unfortunately their jobs are to misinform the public.

The flip side is Rob Ellis who's 110% against moving for mariota, in favor of going heavy defense. Not everyone on local radio is a bafoon.

Ellis is my favorite sports talk show host in Philly. He's a combination of knowledgeable and respectful. Many of the other blowhards are clueless and just like to hear themselves talk. They will not debate a point with civility. I've never called into a sports talk show but if I did, it would be the Ellis show.unckeyherb said:
