2021 was brutal draft for qbs. 5 taken in the first round but only Trevor Lawrence is still with their team and starting. 2022 only had one first rounder- Kenny Pickett and he's already gone from Pittsburgh. 2023 had 3 first rounders. Anthony Richardson got injured, so unknown about him. Bryant Young had a brutual first year. CJ Stroud looks to be a star. This year had 6 qbs taken in the first round. 6 of the first 12 picks were qbs. How will these QBs do? Caleb Williams- Could be battling our own Jayden Daniels for rookie of the year. Bears are surrounding him with talent. Big question is coaching. I have this feeling Caleb will have a different head coach before he can really take off. Jayden Daniels- The concern with him, can his small frame handle the hits of the nfl. If he can, I think we will have our 10 year qb. Of course, we have get him the offensive line. Drake Maye- Will Mayo be better than Bill has been post Tom? They can't do what they did to Mac Jones. They need to surround him with talent or he will bust. They can sit him a year since they got Jacoby. Michael Pennix- Considering he will be sitting on the bench for at least 2 years, don't know how his career turns out. If Kirk plays poorly, he may get his chance sooner than later. I think the Falcons ride with Kirk for 24,25 and if they haven't achieved anything move on from him in 26. JJ Mccarthy- He probably would do well to sit a year. Let them ride with Darnold for this year. Given how tough this division now is, he's more likely to bust than succeed. Bo Nix- He's in a division with Mahomes and Herbert. Going to be tough. I think he busts and gets Payton fired at some point. Odds are strong that most of those 6 qbs bust. I prayer Jadyen isn't one of those busts. It would be nice if most of them succeeded though. There will always be teams looking for qbs; so future draft picks will get drafted to be the savior. I think the veteran free agent qb market won't be so hot anymore.

If the NFL expands, I can see a realignment to 6 teams with 6 divisions again and 36 teams. Though frankly, 32 teams is the right number. Just move the weaker franchises to other markets. As for international expansion, not going to happen. You aren't going to get players who will have to spend about half the year living in a foreign country. Since the NFL will eventually expand to 18 games, that will give everyone 9 homes games and 9 road games. You can take that 9th game and make it international. Every team will have to play one international game. England and Germany would get the bulk of the games but you can sprinkle other countries in there like they do now. Have those international games from Week 3 to Week 17; so the first 2 weeks and last 2 weeks of season are USA only. You can create a TV package of international games only. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Speaking of 18 games, it's happening. The owners want it and they will eventually get it. What will they have to do to get players to agree? Roster expansion, a second bye week seems likely. I think the players would use leverage to get free agency shaved by a year and maybe the draft reduced by a round or two. Players would rather be free to sign, then being forced to go somewhere. 18 week season with 2 byes, over 20 weeks. Season from Labor Day to President's Day. You'd have one bye in the first 9 weeks and the second bye in the last 9 weeks. The current tv contract runs into the early 30's but the nfl has an out clause in 2029. I'd expect an 18 game season, sooner than later..

Ron built nothing. The most strongest players on the roster were from before he got here. The remaining players on the roster from his era will have to prove it this year , assuming they get out of camp, in order to be part of Quinn's core for the future. If they don't, they won't be on the roster in 2025.

Actually what would be exciting is if we get Brady-Manning rivalry with Williams and Daniels.

28? The year yes, the season we will be defending Super Bowl champs 24: 8-9 25: 11-6, wild card and playoff win 26: 13-4, nfc championship appearance 27: 15-2, Super Bowl

The team becomes a consistent winner and having some stars and those sales will perk up. If one is waiting for a rebrand before purchasing any merchandise; it will be a long wait and one that might not happen at all. If this group decides to rebrand, it won’t happen until a new stadium is under construction. Since you will want to know whether we are Commanders or something else, when putting that into the stadium. Since a stadium is likely 3 -4 years away before even construction starts.

Rivera knew Snyder was one of the worst owners but got seduced by him and the Gm power Dan gave him. Yeah, no one could’ve predicted the off the field stuff of 2020 and name being changed but Skins were an organization to avoid. Ron felt he didn’t to deserve to fired from Carolina; so he jumped at the opportunity here . I’ll prove everyone, I am right. Ron should’ve taken a year off. So there’s no pity for him at all. He made a deal with the devil.

Trump wants to be jailed, even if only for a day. He believes it will help him and it probably will give him a momentary boost; that’s why he’s doing it. What he really wants is to trigger his maga by his jailing. He thinks that will get them to come in hoards and protest outside the courthouse and outside wherever he’s jailed.

Best case would be 3-3 in the division and splitting with everyone. Don’t see us sweeping anyone or getting swept. Also depends when our divisional games are. If they are grouped early on the schedule, that wouldn’t be good. You want them spread out.

It doesn’t matter if a high pick was used to get them; if they fail to make the cut in training camp; there gone. It doesn’t matter what they did in college or where they were drafted at. The will have to earn to keep their roster spot and if they get beaten out in camp; they are gone. It’s a new regime. It’s a complete reset. The questionable holdovers have to earn a spot. I think only Terry, Jarod and Jonathan are the only holdovers that are locks to make it. Everyone else has a chance to be beaten out.

Actually, think the owner expressed dissatisfaction also and made a comment of things needing to change.

Trump will repeal the civil rights act, if he gets a chance to; if he gets in. The only way whites can get their white nation paradise is to repeal that law. Plenty of people believe conspiracy theories. The mom of one of my nieces friends is the real estate agent we used to sell old house and buy this one. She’s into conspiracies theories. She firmly believes that Joe Biden is a fake and the real Biden is dead. People Will believe what they want and now in the Trump era those crazies are winning power.

We’ve had 60% roster turnover so far. That will likely rise after training camp as more holdovers fail to make the roster.

Steelers are getting dissatisfied with Tomlin not winning a playoff game since 2016. Another season without a playoff win and Steelers may make a change.

The Fall Guy- Gets a C+. Not much of a plot for the movie based on the 80’s Tv show. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt did have good chemistry though. There’s a mid credits scene that’s a postscript to the movie and has cameos from a couple of people from the tv show. For a brief second the bionic sound from Six Million Dollar Man appeared.

Fields isn’t any good; if he was, he’d still be with the Bears.

Fields start and Tomlin has his first losing. If Russ is done, Steelers won’t be winning if they have to rely on Fields. If Russ is cooked, Steelers will be looking for a new qb in 2025 and likely under a new coach.

Here’s another video of the same song. You know Donny boy wants things like this if he returns.

With so much change in the roster and a new coaching staff that hasn’t worked together before; it will take time to jell. I figure we struggle early and people will think it’s the same old Commanders/Redskins but as things start to jell, we will get better. By the end of the season, there will be hope going into 2025. 6-11/7-10 seems most likely and us drafting between 8-12; which will help us out next year. 8-9 would be ceiling if Jayden does really well.

No but if that many black people really want to vote for Trump; then they can live with Trump dictatorship where they will be treated worse than they are now. I can see the end of the civil rights acts under a Trump dictatorship.

Well, I think next Thursday: 5/9 will be schedule release day. Back in this thread: I made this mock schedule: Week 1: @Baltimore Week 2: Chicago on TNF- Williams vs Maye on Amazon Week 3: @Philly Week 4: @NYGiants Week 5: Carolina Week 6: Cleveland Week 7: Bye Week Week 8 @Cincinnati Week 9: @Dallas on MNF Week 10: Pittsburgh Week 11: Philly Week 12: @Arizona Week 13: Atlanta Week 14: Dallas Week 15:@New Orleans Week 16 : Tennessee Week 17: @Tampa Bay Week 18: Giants Here's my revised 2024 Post Draft- Mock Schedule: Obviously, we don't have Maye but Daniels as QB but Daniels should still get us a national game or two. Actually, I'll go with 3 national games. Yeah, a 4-13 team really shouldn't get much but I think the potential of Daniels will make us attractive enough for 3 national games. Week 1: Atlanta - We open our season against our one time QB Kirk. Week 2: Carolina Week 3: @Baltimore - Our first national game on ESPN's MNF- Jayden vs Lamar Week 4: @Cincinnati Week 5: @Philly Week 6: Bye Week Week 7: Giants Week 8: Chicago- Our 2nd National game on Amazon's TNF- Williams vs Daniels Week 9: Cleveland Week 10: @Dallas Week 11: Philly Week 12: @Arizona Week 13: @New Orleans Week 14: Dallas- Our 3rd National game on ESPN's MNF Week 15 : Tennessee Week 16: @Tampa Bay Week 17: Pittsburgh Week 18: @ Giants- close on the road against Giants

Alright the draft is over. We might still sign someone in free agency now or after the June 1st cuts but the bulk of the roster has been acquired. Yeah, we could sign someone after training camp cuts but doubtful anyone would an impact. So, what do really expect for 2024?

You know winning regularly will make people forget that. As for any change on those fronts, that will tied to when the new stadium will be built.

I don’t even remember the last time I listened to AM radio; which I only listened to for talk - sports or political. You can now listen to those stations thru apps. I only listen thru SiriusXm in my car for talk or music.
