Die Hard Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Part of the advantage of having Rales as part of the ownership group is because of his local ties. He’s established in the community. He has roots/relationships. They don’t have to develop new working relationships. The groundwork already exists. Theyre primed to hit the ground running. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah everyone is focusing on Harris and to some extent Magic but Rales is the key player in this group. He has big pockets but is also by all counts an actual decent human being and like you said has ties to the area. He's the guy that could take this franchise over the top. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the new owner should come in with guns blazing and fire everyone, including Ron? Don't you think it is kinda late in the game to do that? Will he fire Ron and make EB the head coach instead? Move up the draft to the 2nd spot and get his QB instead? Is this what you want him to do?

Where have you picked that up from ? Plus, I’ve realised this is the QB thread, so we’ve all probably drifted off topic a little. 31 minutes ago, Est.1974 said: Fairly exaggerated take that. I’d wager he makes 2 or 3 key strategical moves. @zCommander that’s what I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s his 2nd bid for an NFL franchise in the past year. The team has been on the market since November. Im sure he’s been twiddling his thumbs… and he’ll get started once he’s learned everyone’s names and takes the NFL Intro to football weekend course. 😂😂 Which has absolutely nothing to do with what I said lol... I never said he'd need time to get up to speed, I said fans eagerly want him to do a lot of the things we claimed made Snyder such a bad owner.

NickyJ Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Considering this is the QB thread and people are talking about changes the owner will make, I'm assuming people are talking about coaching and personnel changes that would affect the QB. To that, I'd say that Harris is going to do nothing that affects the QBs this season. Free agency was run by Ron and his crew. The draft will be as well. This season has been constructed for a Ron team, and it would be foolish for an owner to immediately dismantle with the job half done. It would truly be throwing away the season to fire the head coach with no pool of HC candidates to choose from, and limiting yourself to EB and JDL for your choices is an extremely poor footing to put yourself on. The coaching staff stays, the players stay, and the GMs who will inevitably pick players over the preseason and regular season to fill the roster in a way that matches Ron's scheme will also stay. People on the business side can be changed at any time and it won't set the team behind. But that has nothing to do with QBs or the official QB thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I like both players, I’ll take some convincing Howell and Brissett would be seen as the way forward. Time is clearly against changing this right now. But whilst QBs of the quality of Rodgers and Jackson remain ‘attainable’ on the market, I would keep an open mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The potential competitive disadvantage financially doesn’t start until 2024 with Eagles and Giants (Hurts and Jones are at deals below 9% of the cap in 2023), which is unfortunate with so much riding on this season. Remain lean and stay the course while attempting to draft or find value in the trade or open market. Zero fear going against Jones and Prescott with current QB situation. Ron extending a middle finger to the entitled overpaid middling QB is great. Be bold, Ron. 11 win season in coming. Enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have guys banging down our door to come here in general, and even if Ron did want Jackson there's no way in hell our petty, vindictive, cheapo soon-to-be-ex owner would have signed off on that insane contract right now. And Rodgers clearly has no interest in coming here. So yeah, Ron did a great job of not giving into pressure and signing a nonexistent QB to a huge deal.

And Rodgers clearly has no interest in coming here. So yeah, Ron did a great job of not giving into pressure and signing a nonexistent QB to a huge deal. Exactly. Ron has been anything but smart and tactical when it pertains to how he's handled the QB situation here in DC. Basically, no top QB's wanted to come here, so he had to scramble for a couple of mediocre choices, Fitzpatrick in '21, and then the GOD AWUL Wentz trade in '22. Aaron Rodgers wouldn't touch this team with a 10 foot pole, so we had no shot at him, Derek Carr said no, and Jimmy Garoppolo wouldn't even consider signing with Washington. In Garoppolo's case, he could've accepted a trade to this team last offseason, but he elected to get surgery instead (LOL). We literally have no choice but to roll with Sam Howell & Jacoby Brissett. No one notable wants to come here. We also had the ownership situation hanging over our heads this offseason, so we were on a tight budget with regards to spending. Hopefully with the new owner, all of that changes in the future. Edited April 18, 2023 by samy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 If Howell can even be like league average ish, not only would that be an upgrade over what we've had but it'd give us a huge advantage the next two years having an average QB on a dirt cheap late round rookie contract. We can really stack a team around him and kinda have a 49ers-like run. I know they haven't won a ring yet but they've been damn close(3 NFC Championship appearances in 4 years and probably make their 2nd Super Bowl appearance if all their QBs didn't break). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how easy Philly extended Hurts. Look at how 31 fellow teams aren't going gaga over trading for Lamar (in contrast to Watson last year). No one wants Lamar. There has to be a reason why.

What makes you think other teams aren’t interested ? And they don’t always retain all of their high end quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
