Brilliant people get it wrong sometimes. Talented folks have bad days, games, seasons. So yeah, it’s always possible that any strategy can fail for anyone. But this is absolutely different and unlike any strategy ever deployed during Snyder’s regime. They are remediating the stench of Dan, and doing it by adding free agents to short term deals. There’s no splash here, it’s simply filling holes without long term commitment at this point. This entire offseason is the polar opposite of the way we operated under Dan Snyder. -

I cannot believe we locked down Wagner. Given the task at hand for Peters, having to overhaul a majorly talent deficient team - he appears to be turning 💩 to ice cream. We need help in the secondary, one way or the other. But I expect a massive turnaround on defense immediately, which is ideal for a young QB. -
Odd to spend the morning in the office “collaborating”, discussing the state of the team, which was all about how bare Ron left the cupboard. Stop in Golfdom in Tyson’s at lunch, and who is in the back clearance section checking out 3 woods? Ron Rivera. Auto pilot took over and I just blurted out “Ron Rivera, nice to meet you” and he said it was nice to meet me too and extended his hand for a handshake. I said “figured you’d be in Pebble” and he responded that he was and will be as “that’s home”. $40M earned here, and he’s shopping for used clubs like me. Moral of the story, people are fake. People being me. Spent all morning crapping on the job he did here, a few minutes later I see him and tell him it was nice to meet him. 🤣 He was very nice. Also, he carries a Louis V man purse. Dick Butkus rolling in his grave.

Been a while since I checked in here, it’s just a lot better griddling when it’s not dark and cold. Homemade chicken teriyaki, pineapples and garlic scallion rice.

Generally, I agree with you. I’d much prefer keep Howell and his $1M salary for the next two years, But it appears two things are at play: A. It’s clear this regime is looking to rid itself of the Rivera stink. Thus far, we’ve added about a dozen guys and haven’t re-signed one player that was on last years team. They clearly want their guys to mold into where they see this team going. B. Mariota is no threat for controversy. No matter how badly our new QB is playing, at most there will be whispers to go to Mariota. As opposed to Howell, where I could easily see the locker room, fans, media, etc. calling for him, should the rookie play bad. Additionally, if they sit the rookie for a bit to start the season- it’s safe to say there will be no tears for Mariota. Ultimately, they haven’t said the words, but this is a total rebuild - top to bottom. There will be pain before there is any glory. They are in the process of scrubbing this place clean and furnishing the joint with their pieces. But it will take a couple drafts before we see it come to fruition.

The only signing I don’t like is Mariota. Like nothing about him as a player and don’t really find the whole veteran presence thing to be of much value. $6M guaranteed feels like a lot for him. Why not just roll with Howell, who is cheaper and could potentially surprise if he had to play? I see no point in dumping Howell for a ham sandwich. -
So Peters was on G&D this afternoon and addressed the $90M in cap space and made it clear they won’t be spending it all this off season. Made it clear to anyone who was thinking about taking shortcuts to the top, they won’t be doing that this offseason. They know better than to use the term “rebuild” as it’s ticket sale suicide, but make no bones about it…this is going to be a rebuild.

I went to go check him out after reading that. I even saw where he tried to say that it’s not a knock, that Rudolph came out in a big QB draft or whatever. Fact of the matter is Rudolph stinks and when you comp a consensus top 3 pick as less than Rudolph, you lack seriousness and appear hungry for attention. …and I have my own reservations about Maye, and really every QB in this draft.

EB not only deployed the worst ‘strategy’ I’ve ever seen with a young QB, but now has the worst parting statements I’ve ever heard. She didn’t break up with me, I broke up with her. There is nothing I could have done better. 😂 For anyone still wondering why this dude had umpteen interviews and never got hired, see the above. Phew.

I’m not sold on any QB on the draft as they all have concerns for me. Williams, mostly personality/leadership/character. Maye, failure to play big in big games, some questionable mechanics. Daniels, body and very little tape of NFL throws. My faith is in Peters and the gang to figure out which QB available to them is the guy for us. They all have warts.

$8M after agents and taxes and everything else that comes with playing pro football, there’s a lot worse stories of dudes that have blown a lot more than that. Besides the fact that you really have no idea what his life, health issues and everything else has been like. Pretty callous to choose this as a platform to play the “sorry for your bad decisions” card.
