He was last seen at McDonald’s ordering 4 double quarter pounders and 4 large milkshakes.

Likewise, I watched that game and was equally unimpressed. Also, a close friend of mine is a huge Michigan fan, as well as a Vikings fan, and he doesn’t even want him anywhere near his team.

Ron: that’s a beautiful ring, I mean that I really do

Send the man his damn ring!

it has begun.

I bolded the part I found really funny. You were claiming him a future bust and to trade with the giants so that they’d get a bust. You don’t like Maye, don’t start with a lie. It discredits anything you say after

He just wins.

Agreed, and not to take away from this argument one way or another, but that man is a statue. He won’t have that kind of OL in the NFL and that scares me

Jordan love had Aaron, Aaron had Brett. We currently have Sam Howell. Look, sitting a QB for the early part of the season has its benefits. It allows the rookie to see how the process goes and what to expect. Unfortunately, not every team drafting a young QB has the benefit of having a Favre or an Alex smith. That’s why most of the time they’re thrown to the wolves right away. Also, just because sitting them has worked (in very limited examples) doesn’t mean not sitting them doesn’t. The data pool is very limited and is probably tainted due to specific circumstances.

DQ mentioned they picked the staff so that theres a succession plan at every position. I’d imagine if Pritchard is poached, then Blough can move up.

Every year. People get these crazy ideas about stockpiling draft picks as if it’s the easiest thing in the world. My favorite is the ones who study every (or in most cases, one) mock draft or reading between the lines of what coaches and GMs say and can declare they know who the pick will be.

That’s not one word and one of those are an abbreviation DQ

New signal arises, Quarterback dreams take flight, Beyond McCarthys reach.

Okay, let’s say for a second we trade with the giants. What’s to say Arizona doesn’t trade back as well and then all 4 QBs get taken. Let’s one up this hypothetical since you can do it too. Let’s say all four QBs are hits and we’ve traded one of them to our divisional opponent. The divisional opponent that I’m not at all worried about right now compared to the cowboys or the eagles. Okay, in my made up fairy land scenario, what did we do? Did we take one of the second tier guys later? The ones who have bigger flaws than the others. Do you see how ridiculous your idea is? So what if they have question marks or flaws. We have nothing and none of the FA QBs are worth kicking the can for more unknowns down the road. It doesn’t matter at the end of the day, because it’s not going to happen, but the fact that you’re open to trading a potential franchise QB, regardless of who it is we pick, to give them to our divisional opponent. You sure you’re not a giants fan?

Pretty sure he was a Daniels guy, no? so I think this is his new way of bashing Maye, by saying pawn him off he’s a bust in the making.

And every other failed QB prospect. Sure, it works for some that were already mildly successful, but rarely. I agree, I’ve seen quite a few bears games and fields is meh.

I don’t always buy the “he had to learn x amount of offensive systems so it’s not his fault”, especially if it’s all under the same head coach. While I agree the situation has been messed up for him there, you can just as easily point the blame at his lack of performance for the turnover. That whole scapegoat mentality is used often for young QBs and the truth is they are who they are.

I predict people will blow up at any comparison of QB to QB if it doesn’t align with their beliefs. How am I doing? Look, if someone says Williams is comparable to Mahommes, people automatically assume Mahommes production or success. They say Williams is comparable to Zach Wilson, guess what they expect that same outcome. Just because something tastes like chicken, doesn’t mean it’s chicken.

I agree, especially since we have two vets (terry and Dotson). I’d rather we go with a cheaper vet option and a rookie, but if the FO feels different and we go with a bigger name in FA there are some options

Pretty sure Pittman doesn’t leave Indy. I’d love to have him as well though.

Beat me to it! some great stuff here. Just some stuff that stood out to me: Anthony Lynn mentioned the coaches (not sure if all or just assistants) not going to the combine. He also mentioned the energy is what got him here. Mentioned knowing people like Quinn, Peters, Jason Wright helped. Says he like his backs to have versatility. Has just started looking at the players, mentioned knowing about BRob and Rodriguez from studying them in the draft. Brian Johnson mentioned all QBs have different abilities and its important to highlight what they're good at. Nothing else of note other than coach speak. Tavita Pritchard talked about maximizing who we have and putting them in the best positions. Tailoring the offense to the QB. Danced around drafting a QB at #2 or not and if he would have any say in it. Darryl Tapp praised DQ on collaboration and bringing people in from different systems for different ideas. Spoke with Allen and the rest of the guys, said whatever vision you have of yourself and the type of player you want to be - Im here to bridge that gap and work our butts off. Ken Norton Jr. says they (coaches) really haven't formed their identity yet, but are working on identifying that together. No thoughts on the LBs at the moment. That's all I've gotten to watch at the moment.

I hope he does the thing that they did in San Fran where they let everyone pound the table for their guy on the last day. Collaboration, imo, is better than one person thinking they know best. That’s how you end with Dan Snyder’s and Bruce Allen’s of the world.

Well, we don’t know that for sure. He may have been offered something like passing game coordinator or RBs coach before Quinn’s presser. If it were a coordinator position, he probably would have said yes.

Considering EB had character and other concerns from his college coaching days, it does not surprise me that he’s trying to prop himself up in order to save face. Good riddance, you will not be missed.
