Let him learn the hard way.

This guy.

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

That's why we have Sam.

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 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.

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.

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.

OL - Bobby Johnson Any relation to OG Bobby Johnson?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

And Deion.

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.
