  1. Trying not to get anxious about Scherff negotiations. My preferences 1. Sign to LTD averaging ~$15 million 2. Allowed to become free agent 3. Tag and trade. 4. 2nd Franchise Tag (Do not want, will be upset if this happens) Guess we will all know better by Tuesday evening.
  2. When it comes to Heineke vs Allen. Heineke is only guaranteed $1.5 million for 2021. Everything else is incentives and team controlled. He is not the defacto compete for starter/main backup. Alen is just as much a candidate for that position as well.
  3. I'm jumping on the trade back a few times this year to build up draft capital for a veteran QB trade next offseason bandwagon.
  4. NFL draft boards aren't set until 2 weeks before the draft. Complete crap shoot right now.
  5. 1. Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) | 6'6/213 | Hand: 10 Comp: Andrew Luck 2. Justin Fields (Ohio State) | 6’3/228 Comp: Deshaun Watson 3. Trey Lance (North Dakota State) | 6’4/227 Comp: Steve McNair 4. Zach Wilson (BYU) | 6’2/210 Comp: Tony Romo 5. Mac Jones (Alabama) | 6'3/217 | Hand: 9 3/4 Comp: Less-mobile Andy Dalton 6. Jamie Newman (Wake Forest) | 6'3/235 | Hand: 10 Comp: David Garrard 7. Kyle Trask (Florida) | 6'4/239 Comp: Nick Foles 8. Kellen Mond (Texas A&M) | 6'2/217 | Hand: 9 1/4 Comp: Josh Dobbs 9. Davis Mills (Stanford) | 6'4/212 Comp: Skinny Nathan Stanley 10. Shane Buechele (SMU) | 6'1/207 Comp: Case Keenum
  6. If they can play it conservative enough with QB compensation (Mid-Tier FA or no draft trade ups in the first 3 rounds or stick with Allen, Heineke and developmental rookie) they could go in to 2022 offseason with Prescott coming off of his second tag as a free agent and Watson after sitting out all of 2021 and a motivated Texans FO looking to sell. Not ideal but nothing to scoff at.
  7. If this team intends to trade any draft assets for a QB, they better be utterly convinced he will significantly upgrade the position. If there is any uncertainty, either go FA or stand pat.
  8. Age and experience have made each secure in who he is, and that brings us back to the benefit of having this sort of knowhow in the building. Along those lines, both guys brought specific examples to illustrate what they’d learned from previous failures as GMs. For Hurney, it relates back to the clogged cap that helped lead to his initial ouster from the Panthers in 2012 and his relationship with then Carolina cap chief Rob Rodgers, who happens to be in Washington now, too. “He has a very good feel for the numbers,” Hurney said. “Sometimes I think, at least in my case, I would get emotionally involved in trying to get a player, trying to make the team better, because that’s what you’re focused on—winning games. I learned that, Hey, listen, this is his area of expertise. He knows how to translate a player’s résumé to what he should make and the contract negotiation part of it. And I think he would tell you the second time around was much better. Overall, and big picture-wise, that’s what I’ve learned. “People have their areas of expertise, and not that you don’t give your opinion, but you listen and let them do their jobs. That was one of the big things I learned from the first time around.” Mayhew’s example wasn’t totally dissimilar—it also came over time, and proved true from one experience (Detroit) to another (San Francisco, where he was the last four years). “One thing that I’ve learned is we have to be fully aligned and fully on the same page,” Mayhew said. “That’s not just coaches and the personnel department. I’m talking about the players have to be fully bought in, ownership has to be fully bought in. And I saw that firsthand in San Francisco in 2019, the way that season went, and also the start of this past season. Obviously didn’t go the way we wanted, but the alignment was definitely there. “And everybody was on board. Everybody was doing their part in moving toward that common goal. You really can’t say that about the entire time that I was in Detroit. There were fits and starts. Times when things worked well and we were all communicating well and things were moving in the right direction. But it wasn’t consistent enough.” In that way, Mayhew contended that he could connect the Super Bowl team he played on in Washington in 1991 and that San Francisco team of 28 years later. “That’s part of what excites me about working with Marty, working with Ron, is to see that process, see that setup happen again,” Mayhew said. “I want to be a part of it.”
  9. Perhaps having Ken Zampese as QB coach makes them confident they can turn Darnold around, but I'm certainly not in favor of it.
  10. To get to the full 20 million, he not only has to start a certain number of games, but they also have to make the playoffs and get all the way to the Super Bowl. Without the playoffs its closer to 15 million. For 15 million and a 5th round pick i am willing to give it a shot.
  11. I am now leaning Fitzmagic or Taylor with developmental rookie to battle with Kyle and Heineke. Second choice is a trade up in the first round for QB. Third choice is acceptable trade offer for a vet (Carr, Marriotta,...not sure who else).
