He’s corny in a way that his teammates may resent, because he hasn’t earned anything in the league. Won a championship on a stacked college team and buys his own hype as a winner as he enters the NFL? Yikes.

The guys who are paying JD millions of dollars and banking their own futures on his success care very much. The Commanders are in "recalibration" mode, not win-now mode. When JD is up and running as an established starter and the Commanders are contending, then definitely bring in the upscale backup QB.

Deebo would be cheaper to trade for though. And looks like his salary the next two years isn't too bad, at 21 million and 17 million respectively. The fact that Daniels played with Aiyuk before is nice, but it's not essential. If SF doesn't put Aiyuk up for trade, then we don't really have a lot of choice. There aren't that many All Pro receivers hitting the market, and getting one would be tremendously helpful to our young QB. I wouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, let's bring in a big fish and turbo-charge the offense.

Was it specifically at 36? I too heard that part but wasn't sure if he actually said @ 36. But they definitely like Rosengarten, Keim sounded confident in that.

We'd have to craft a new rule to protect the community from such a heretofore unimaginable and horrific offense of cosmic magnitude.....

I had nothing against the Vikings previously but man I don’t like this kid.

Especially if like me, you think Howell could be a league average starter in this league. High floor etc. I don't view it as sick and considering I've seen like 2 posts about Howell out of like 2000 the past week, I don't think people are fixating on it either. It's just odd he was traded w/o the Maye angle. But maybe the view was pretty simple: He only had 2 years left on his deal, he was definitely leaving, and this was the best return we were going to get (I can get that argument, it is reasonably sound). Yeah, I think the point all along was the #2 pick in the best QB class in a long long long time, was why he came here. Simple as that. I had hoped his target was Maybe, but I always figured it was the 2nd pick in a stacked QB class that was the draw, not a specific player. Interesting to consider that it might have been Daniels himself or simply the pick+QB class. If this was '19 or '22 it would have been far less attractive.

Brits know baseball analogies? Damn. Who knew?

I think Daniels already has a website selling shirts or something actually. But just like then I don’t think I care much as it’s probably run by parents or managers or something. I hope he sells enough shirts that he takes vetmin+ for his second contract! Moar shirts!!

Who cares, these guys aren't 4 year olds. Sonny and Billy, or maybe just Billy told Joey T to sit down, shut the ---- up and return punts, they need to grow a pair if they are threatened.

And I still would be totally okay with them not winning another game for the next 20 years.

I do agree w/that, JJ gets a lot of "mystique" around winning a championship for some. I don't buy it period, though I think it's nice he's won every where, being an elite NFL QB to high school or college titles is for me like being a paper airplane to say Voyager II. They are just VASTLY different scales and requirements. One's heading outside our solar system 1 light second at a time, the other is something you toss around in the classroom when the teacher aint looking. "winning" at the college level is immaterial. The truly great, HOF bound QB's of the post 1983 class era? None of those guys won in college: Favre-nope, Brady: with Griese starting, Manning: Florida's -----, Brees-it was Purdue-man, McNabb: lol it was Syracuse, Ben Roth: Miami of Ohio, are you ----ing me? Rivers: what was it NC State? Please, Rodgers: he was my alma matter Cal's QB, they were good in '04 and got robbed of a BCS bowl game by Texas, Matt Ryan was Boston College, Stafford was on a great Georgia team but they didn't win, Newton was on a great Auburn team so there's him, Luck was on a great Stanford team for Stanford standards, Wilson played for Wisconsin, Mahomes was I think Texas Tech, Watson is an example, Josh Allen definitely wasn't, nor was Lamar, nor was Kyler, Joe burrow was, Justin Herbert wasn't, Lawrence was but is mid for now, Stroud was on a great team...overall a couple of great teams-great QB's: Stafford Newton Luck Watson Burrow Stroud Are the only exceptions, but did any of them win titles? Did Burrow win? Maybe, none of the others did. Winning is immaterial. College is way too complicated to have QB's defined by W-L record, and JJ is boosted for sure by that title. Otoh, I think he was always 1st round, early 2nd bound. He's got enough juice for that, but if Michigan played like early Michigan, he probably is a day 2 guy.

True, but other teams could be looking to leapfrog us for him.

You guys realize, if Trump loses he will run again in 2028... even from jail.

I agree; hope we are going best player available in the second and third. We could get some great talent.

Well I am very glad you were not the one making the pick last night.

I doubt Wash will find a starting LT In the draft this year. I would bet they do find a veteran after the draft or after cut downs at least for this year and try to develop a guy. Current FA options are: Bakhtiari Duane Brown Danavon Smith ......Not too inspiring

Retiring numbers is awesome, and should be regarded as the absolute greatest and rarest honor. It should be done far less. Imo we should only have Baugh and Green retired, but whatever. Sonny and Riggo would not qualify for me. Or Mitchell. I know people are understandably touchy about it, but not ST either.

There are several players like that. Such as both corners. Yeah, we have no idea how important (or not) a good kick returner is with the kickoff overhaul.

Yeah, probably less if it was Maye, but just because this board happens to be more pro-Maye, there are other parts of the fan base that are more pro-Daniels. Depends what part of the cohort you're associating with. But yeah, after Williams (and even he has a ton of haters), there's no prospect that had overall close to universal support and with Caleb, that's even true, but w/our fanbase in particular there's a set that's just terrified of RGIII and an even larger set that just see's a lot of alarming pieces in his profile, there was never gonna be consensus on him until he kills it and sustains it in the NFL and flames out horribly. Hopefully its the former. I can see that happening. I am kinda confused on this sorta take. I've seen it from a few skeptics. I guess its: "what's done is done," can't change it. But? My eval of him is my eval of him, I can't pretend I think he's better than Maye just because we selected him. I do not....so maybe we're kind of just talking across each other. I mean, I'm all in on the idea that hopefully I'm totally wrong. But I also haven't changed my opinion at all. If I'm wrong, he'll show me that I am, and I won't indulge in take lock, once I'm persuaded, but I'm definitely not all in on him as the #2 guy in the class, I had him #3 or #4, not sure which as I keep going back and forth.

See, I don't mind the money right now, because we have the space and a rookie contract QB. Now is the time to have money invested in skill position guys you KNOW produce so that way the QB can hit the ground running and learn with some solid training wheels. The fact he already has a great report with Aiuyuk is a bonus. I'm looking for my WR of the future in year 3-5 of JD’s tenure rather than hoping to find him in this draft. Why? Because that spaces out the contracts instead of bunching them up and forcing tough decisions. You pair Aiyuk with Terry now. Their contracts start to fall off the books around the time you have to sign JD to his next big deal. You go looking for the future WR in those later years so that he comes due a few years after you've done the JD move. To me, the progression is setup to make BA make a ton of sense now. Go with the closer to a sure thing that can help the new guy acclimate rather than rolling the dice. I wouldn't really want Deebo. The benefits Aiyuk brings (the connection with JD, being two years younger, less wear and tear) are worth the money and the move for us. I don't think that applies with Deebo

Another key is.....Never let them see you sweat. Or maybe that's just a deodorant commercial.

Davonte Adams and Pierce are not the only ones who wanted JD it seems... Half of Vegas was thirsty. Ah well, I'm sure they will be just fine with *looks up Raiders QB*..... Oh..... Oh naw.... I'll take the impending Davante meltdown off their hands for a 7th.

"Enjoy the movie, sir" 'you too!'

You really committed to this Danny Nickles thing.
