No doubt Peters is stoked to be here. Now tell your wife to find a house. 😁

Let him learn the hard way.

You can't get out of anywhere for under $80-$100 if you have a date or wife with you, unless its like some big box, franchise ---- restaurant. We just went to a Chinese New Year Dinner a few weeks ago and came out $300 poorer. Just a Fixed Price, 5 item menu, did not matter, and this is Reno. 

 

If we go to the top French Restaurant in Reno, we're paying $35-$75 on Mains alone, any apps, charcuterie plate, the famed French Onion, were out another $25-$40, then there's corkage, and boom, for two people you're hitting $175-$250 easy. 

 

All that being said, I'll still take that over a big box dinner at like Chilli's or whatever. 

 

I cant do the steakhouses because its just too.....meh. I want to taste something I can't cook myself. I know how to make a very, very good if not Morton's level steak at home. But a Roasted Duck, with a Marionerry-Red Wine Reduction? Mmmmmm, not at their level. Can't render the fat or cook the duck hot enough (kind of like making a pizza at home, versus an Italian Style sort of Brick kinda oven thing that's wood fired. Just not the same. I try to go to places where they are making dishes I can't produce myself (in fairness, I can make an adequate Blackberry-Red Wine reduction for Elk, so half of the duck dish I can do in my own half ----- manner). 

This guy.

If Ertz can give us 3-5 first downs a game, the money's worth it.

Sounds like a vet might be a good idea alongside a rookie…….

That's why we have Sam.

Why would any free agent QB (Cousins, Wilson,etc) want to come to Washington?  We have one (1) offensive lineman.

Running for one's life every passing down adds excitement in an otherwise stationary position, and if we can somehow incorporate that language as a positive in the job description I'm sure candidates will look at the scenario differently.

I maintain EB and Snyder struck a secret deal to make him HC if Ron botched the season or “retired.” He didn’t expect to see his benefactor and co-conspirator get exiled from the NFL.

I trust our braintrust to make the right move.

 

If Chicago is willing and we trade up, then it better work out. The price you have to pay, means it better work out.

 

If we decide to trade down, then it also needs to work out. The qb you draft will have to be as good or better, than the qbs you missed out on trading down.

 

Quinn doesn’t survive a qb failure. Peters probably doesn’t survive a qb failure if we trade up. He probably gets a second chance if there’s a qb failure by standing Pat or trading down.

I agree about Quinn. Peters...it'll depend on the composite and value of the roster. If he nails everything but the QB (which is the hardest position to nail), I can see Harris giving him another shot, even after he reached for the one.

So if the Jets offered a 4th round pick from Sam Howell would you say no? 

I would say no. He could help bring up the new #1 and whatever experience he can share with the starter would be worth more than a 4th rounder. Plus we need a quality backup. Also, if he spells the QB in a few games this season and plays well, his value would increase next year for QB-starved teams.

Dan sure loves his backwards hats. I wonder if he has his hat like that on the sidelines as a head coach. His days in Atlanta feel like decades ago, so I don't remember. It doesn't matter to me if he does or doesn't, just curious. Some people ( especially old curmudgeons) may find it unprofessional.

It’s the Lincoln Hawk effect if you’ve ever watched Over the Top

Cousins might want to go to a competitive team with a shot at the title, as it would most likely be his last rodeo (at least as a starter). He had his shot in Minnesota with Diggs and Thielen at their prime, and a strong running game, but he squandered that golden opportunity and I’m not convinced he’ll find another like that.

DC will likely go all in to host Washington. The city has taken so many Ls lately, I just can’t see it taking another one.

Any relation to OG Bobby Johnson?

Listening to Eagles sports radio this morning and they said they are jealous of Andy Reid's success.  They think Kansas City can win at least two

more Super Bowls over the next few years.

Andy learned from the Philly experience not to hitch your future on an average QB. Had he moved on from McNabb a lot sooner, I think he would have won a chip or two for that town.

I don't really question Daniels's intangibles either. My issue with him is his age diluting his upside and production and the fact that his passing is reliant on his running ability. Those type of QBs do not sustain and mobility/athleticism drops off quick. Look at Lamar Jackson. He's 27 and already not as fast as he once was(he's still super fast). And Jackson came into the league at 21, not 23 like JD will be(he'll actually turn 24 his rookie year).

 

And then of course there is the one read and run style of offense, the body type/durability issues...yikes. Now if we were picking 3rd he'd still be absolutely worth taking a shot and I'd be thrilled with the upside, but taking him over Maye, who is also extremely high ceiling without having anywhere near as low a floor, just isn't logical to me.

Valid concerns. I wonder if the age factor can be mitigated as he develops more and more into a traditional pocket passer, less reliant on his scrambling ability.

Bears only have the leverage if you allow them to have the leverage. They’d love nothing more than to trade down to #2, get their guy anyway, and have an additional high round pick in 2025. They would have fleeced Snyder.

Let’s just stick with #2, let some other team mortgage their future to Chicago like Carolina did. If we can’t train up Drake or JD to be the franchise QB we need, then we don’t have the right coaches in the building.

We all know that Gibbs won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different quarterbacks.  How did he do that?  By having a very strong offensive line, a strong defensive line and 2 good coordinators- Gibbs on offense and Pettibone on defense.   Has the NFL changed so much that you have to find the franchise quarterback first and then build up your offensive and defensive lines??  Seems backwards to me. Snyder chased quarterbacks and look where that got him.  Our lines need to be built up.  Howell had no chance last year to look good.  We also need another elite receiver like Marvin Harrison Jr.  But what about getting a strong left tackle?  We have so many needs.

 

Hope Peters and Quinn can figure it all out and not put all their money in one basket that would be either complete hit or complete miss.

That is a good argument, and one I've used before. The flip side of that a great QB can elevate/hide a lot of a team's weaknesses through impact and leadership, and attract the attention of free agents who can plug in those holes. Belichick consistently remarked on the talent disparity between his 2001 team and the Rams in the Super Bowl: "Can you believe we won the Super Bowl with this?" A great QB and strong coaching covers a lot of deficits that I do think eventually gets exposed, and all the more important to have those priorities in place in order to attract the help to strengthen the team.

I appreciate Kyle correctly indicating the last 20 years, not just these last few years which has been the timeframe constantly referenced due to the Snyder investigations --- as if this organization wasn't toxic before that.

Pumped after hearing that presser.  Love how this offseason has lined up for us.

 

 

It's as if Dan got kicked out of the NFL at the right moment.

Listening to him talk about setting the edge, it's probable he'll bring 1 or 2 of the FA edge rushers from Dallas -- Armstrong, Fowler, or both. Not sure how I feel about country club players helping to set the tone for this defense.

He was half joking. He said if Detroit had picked him he would have asked for so much money they would have to have put him on layaway.

Deion wasn't joking: 

Caleb, if you want to come to D.C., learn from the best because we're not trading a king's ransom to go up for ya!

So maybe I missed this but what's going on with Bienemy? He hasn't been fired but they hired someone to take his position, seems odd?

In these times of uncertainty, I'd always ask: What would Snyder do? We all know the answer -- he'd mortgage our future to acquire Caleb, bask in the praises from the national media, consume every crumb of adulation tossed by his celebrity "friends" and local politicians, then personally greet Caleb at the DCA tarmac wearing his fresh custom-made USC go-fasters to demonstrate how culturally and socio-economically in sync they are before having the head coach chauffeur them to their lavish dinner reservation. The answer is clear: don't trade up for Caleb. It's what Dan would do.

Deion said he preferred not to play for Detroit but it wasn’t a next level refusal. Elway and Eli are really the only two modern ones.

He threatened to make his salary demand unreasonable or pivot to his baseball career if Detroit picked him. He qualifies lol

Elway pulled it off with the Colts in 1984. Eli in 2004

And Deion.

Get rid of these cultural rot players.  Most of them will be gone over the next couple of years.

 

Replace all of them as soon as you can.

Belichick called them the “undertow players” when he first arrived as a Giant. Players who didn’t buy in the culture change or promoted gossip. Through cuts, trades, and a brutal coaching regime, it took 4-5 years for Perkins, Parcells, and Belichick to turn that team around after the Bill Arnsparger and John McVay years. While those days are long behind us and it’s a different league now, I hope Peters and Quinn adopt a no nonsense, buy-in-or-get-out approach.
