The good news: Harbaugh’s agent probably floated this to get Harbaugh a raise. The bad news: I’m an idiot and I’m wrong a lot.

You gotta pay somebody. It’s not like we’re hurting for cap room. And it’s not like those guys are bums. And I otherwise disagree with your statement. That’s what Bruce Allen bargain shopping will do to a team. It’s okay to pay good players. Payne/Allen/TMac earned their deals. They’ll be nice pieces for a new coach.

Trading good players for picks sounds kinda sexy until the new player isn’t as good as the one you traded. Keep TMac, Payne, Allen. Get some young, aggressive coaches in the building. I think it’s easy to throw out the baby with the bath water when things go sideways. I’m happy to keep a few of our core guys.

Why do people expect JAllen to demand a trade? Because he’s tired of losing?

Penix would be off the board for me. Not worth it where they are talkkng about drafting him. And certainly not where we will be picking.

Damn. The guy throws 3 picks this week and now this. Tough week for the Heinie Hive.

Bears will trade Fields and draft Williams. It’s a mathematical certainty. The only scenario I am willing to entertain is if we fall to 3…and we really don’t like Daniels…maybe we trade out. But I think the possibility of that happening is slim. I expect no trades and that we pick whatever QB is left.

Sit tight at 2. Let the Bears take Oden. We take Durant.

That was my favorite thread of all time.

“I make zero. Zilch.”

So you’re an NC State fan? That explains the Howell hate. 😆

Why would we get rid of Howell? Seems like a great option at backup QB.

I think people need to stop counting those “Dallas is gonna kill us” next week chickens before they hatch.

Yes. ***Full disclosure, I am a jerk and enjoy watching people suffer.

I’m probably in the minority saying this, but I was proud of how the younger guys played today for the most part. I thought it was a solid effort in an untenable situation.

I hereby declare this thread the new “headache inducing” thread until we start posting again in the salary cap discussion thread.

What needs to happen to get to number 2 next week? Pats win? Another cards win?

The best thing about our tank job this year is that we didn’t try to tank. Felt organic. 😆

In other QB news, I just saw a Kirk Cousins KFC commercial on Thursday night football. It was worse than you think.

Lazy take. I’m shocked. 😆

Here are some highlights that show a lot of the things I discussed above about Maye. I think people will fall in love with Daniels/Williams but I think they both have higher bust potential (Williams makeup/Daniels accuracy issues). To be clear, I like them both. Just not as much as Maye.

Yeah, I don’t see the Palmer comp at all really. And I liked Carson. Maye has much better pocket awareness than DJones and I think more twitch in his running style (I know you’re simply speaking on mobility…I added the pocket awareness) He’ll also make some “magician” type throws that remind me a bit of Aaron Rodgers. Side arm/pitch ahead kinda stuff. I’ll get crucified for saying this, but I think Peyton Manning is a better comp than Carson Palmer. No…I don’t think Maye is as good of a prospect as Peyton, I just see more similarities in their play.

If Drake Maye fell in our laps I would run to the podium. All prospects have good/bad things but you’d be hard pressed to find a better kid with a better work ethic from a better family.
