  1. I'm chuckling now remembering the "experts" who said the Cowboys bested the Redskins in hiring McCarthy over Rivera. It's like they'd never watched any recent Packers games.
  2. I start thinking, "maybe they're turning the corner," and then I remember the Cowboys are beyond bad...
  3. I don't know if the problem is Alex or the blocking. Both?
  4. The way he shut up that Diggs guy is just an all-time classic.
  5. I can think of a recent first-round pick who might be available right now! 😄
  6. Sign a vet, trade down for more picks, and start getting more young impact players before even thinking about drafting a QB.
  7. Not necessarily at the top of the first round, though. Of 21st Century champions, I can think of only the Manning brothers as being blue chippers who won SBs. The others I can recall were lower first-round guys or non-first-rounders (Brady, Wilson, Mahomes, Brees etc.) The point being that it might be better for the WFT to build a credible team before going all in on a rookie QB, rather than drafting one in the top two or three this spring and then hoping he doesn't get killed while they try to find some starting caliber linemen to put in front of him.
  8. Under the current system, a rebuilding team is on a five-year clock once they draft their "franchise" QB. They have the five years of his rookie deal to build a championship team around him before his second deal puts them in cap hell. So, the real analysis is twofold: whether the WFT can build a champion around any QB from their current bare cupboard within five years, and whether there'll be a QB capable of starting from Day 1 and developing quickly so that he's at peak when the roster is ready for a championship run. If the answer to the first question is no, then they need to bring in a vet and not bother drafting a QB for another couple years. Work on the rest of the roster. Teams with an established starter can afford the luxury of drafting a Haskins and hope that 2-3 years on the bench are enough for him to learn the position. The Redskins were not in a position to do that. The Steelers and Packers were. It's probably too late to sign a vet and have Haskins sit for two more years. Starting him early ruined that. He needs to move on.
  9. Patience is probably in order all around. This is effectively a 16-game preseason for this team. The overall talent level is atrocious. No amount of coaching will overcome that. That said, the coordinators need to start identifying and honing in the on the few things that are actually working. Everything still looks jumbled to my non-expert eyes.
  10. This year's bodybag game would have to come in Cleveland, of all places. Welcome to 2020.
  11. The Browns have been trying really hard to lose this game, and the WFT just won't let them.
  12. I probably just haven't been paying enough attention. 😄
  13. A week ago, if you'd said the names "Dontrelle Inman" and "Isaiah Wright," I'm not sure I would have known who the heck you were talking about.
