It’s a win-win. I’m happy for Ertz. It would suck watching his last few years stuck on a rebuilding team.The Noid said:
I say build it like Cleveland. Keep accumulating talent on defense before getting the QB. Use Hurts as the stop gap until then.
Im usually a “go get the QB first and other things later” guy but I’m on board with this now. Snag another QB in the 2nd if you want but the first 3 need to be starting from day 1.
playing devil's advocate here, Brady was playing with an injured finger, which pretty clearly messed with his accuracy. it wasn't like our d line was putting much pressure on him, so our secondary played well but the stat line may be a bit skewed.
If someone good is there with one of those 1s, I say grab him. DON'T use multiple picks to move up for one though
This is where I'm at. If the most valuable asset in the NFL is a good QB on a rookie deal, there is no sense wasting years on the rookie contract building a roster around him. I'd rather have a base of talent and then add the QB. Especially since there does not appear to be anything close to a Luck or Lawrence type talent this year.

He was 34 of 42 which is 81%
I don’t disagree with the point of the article which is that you need a good QB not just an inexpensive one. But even a good QB needs talent around him. If the Eagles traded for Herbert tomorrow they still aren’t a Super Bowl team. If they draft a Herbert in 2 years after a lot of high picks, hopefully they have a better chance to maximize his window.
The problem is any decent analysis of 'which type of teams win the Super Bowl', and 'how do super bowl team pay their QB' - the evidence overwhelming points to 'Have Tom Brady'. If you want any decent analysis you have to expand really to playoff teams, or perhaps at least team that made the conference championship.
No one foresaw Wentz' decline, though. Goff, yeah, he was always awful under pressure and McVay told him where to throw the ball on every play.
The key is to pay QBs early in the hopes that they keep getting better and become a better value. For example Carson is now the 9th highest paid QB. If he had kept getting better, his value is tremendous. But he didn't. You need both to happen.
It was a mind-bottling trade on draft day, and it's looking downright insane now. Glad you guys picked their pocket and not another AFC team.
People keep saying this but if the colts are 2-9 buried in the playoff standings, they would be very tempted to pack it in.
Besides the fact with 3 more games against Houston/Jax, plus the Jets on the schedule (so no chance they sniff 2-9), they won't bench Wentz unless its for performance reasons. Teams don't do that mid season. The ONLY way they would bench Wentz is if he is performing horribly.
Players association would be all over them for this. But never know.Insein said:
this is my take on it. Let INdy win a few, let Carson play well. MIAMI is the one we wanna cheer to lose. INdy at .500 is fine.
If Carson is still playing well and they’re losing they’re not benching him unless he gets hurt. Him playing well is why they wanted him and what they want.
