    Hey, don't short-change them... they went 8-26 the last two years!

    Well the Giants' #39 pick now belongs to Carolina.

    Matt Leinart on how the coaching change ruined him.

    Interesting, but then why did Leinart start 11 games before he got hurt?

    Week 9 of the Arizona Cardinals off season. 3/04/24-3/10/24

    Feel free to post one. Not sure whether contact status should be factored in, but if so it would obviously be a huge additional factor in Stroud's favor. I see Murray's upside as a top-10 QB with occasional top 5 seasons; with question marks regarding consistency, durability, and clutch play in...

    Week 9 of the Arizona Cardinals off season. 3/04/24-3/10/24

    Re: Stroud This is a no-brainer. I like Murray and am optimistic that he can continue on an upward trajectory with an improved supporting cast, but Stroud was already as good as a rookie as Murray was in his best season. Is there anyone who wouldn't trade Murray for Stroud straight up right now?!

    Week 9 of the Arizona Cardinals off season. 3/04/24-3/10/24

    I'm sure they're hoping to maximize their return on Fields... but I doubt that whether the difference between getting a 2nd rounder for him or a 5th rounder factors AT ALL into their decision to move on and take a QB at the top of the draft.

    Last year perhaps Baker had leverage over the Cardinals - if they cut him on the heels of a horrible season and an offseason that hadn't moved the needle in a positive way, it diminish optimism for the future. But this season, given the glutted market for safeties, Baker's failure to be a...

    OT: The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine. 2/29/24-3/3/24

    I suspect this is Williams' way of limiting the teams for which he's willing to play, without the negative publicity that would come with publicly listing the teams for which he's willing to play. If he only takes physicals with his desired teams and doesn't allow those teams to release his...

    OT: The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine. 2/29/24-3/3/24

    You make good points about factoring in the needs of the Chargers, Giants, and Titans and the availability of great players at positions other than WR... But don't forget that the premise of this scenario is that "one of the QBs slips to #4", meaning presumably MHJ was already taken at #3 either...

    The 2023-24 league year

    A trade down to #6 would make perfect sense if Harrison Jr. is gone. Wouldn't surprise me if Ossenfort works out conditional terms in advance and pulls the trigger if Harrison is off the board. The Giants know the Cardinals and Chargers won't be taking a QB, so they could just wait for...

    OT: The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine. 2/29/24-3/3/24

    I can't for the life of me understand why they don't at least have the players wear full football equipment while performing the tests! It seems like such an obvious and easy way to make the measurements a little more relevant to football while still keeping them objective.

    The 2023-24 league year

    I don't see how the Bears trading Fields makes it more likely for Harrison to fall to the Cardinals. In fact, I think it makes it less likely. The Bears weren't going to take Harrison at #1; their realistic choices were always to either take a QB at #1 or trade back from the #1 pick to a team...

    2024 Draft Countdown/NFL Prospects thread

    If the Pats trade down so another team can take Daniels at #3, that would leave Harrison Jr. available for the Cardinals. But after the top two QBs are off the board, it seems as though none of the remaining QBs is widely considered worthy of the #3 spot. So I do suspect that the Pats may trade...

    What Kyler Murray Needs to Improve in 2024

    Great post Harry... I agree with almost everything, but this: Murray is an exciting and dangerous runner, but Lamar Jackson has put up about 60% more rushing yards and 67% more rushing first downs per game than Murray, and doesn't go down nearly as easily. Josh Allen is also WAY ahead of...

    Steve Wilks fired as 49ers defensive coordinator after one season: 'It just ended up being not the right fit'

    I quoted from The Athletic in the Black Monday thread: Plus, they added Chase Young. That's a big statistical drop, and even moreso, I think it was just a matter of Wilks & Shanahan not being on the same page / communicating well (cf. Shanahan ordering Wilks out of the booth and into the...

    Black Monday - 2024

    Not at all. The 49ers D did a great job in the first half of the Super Bowl; not so much in the 2nd half and OT. But overall this season, the 49ers D took a big step back. As The Athletic writes: Even more than that... I think it was just a matter of Wilks & Shanahan not being on the same page...

    Definitive Ranking of the NFL's 32 Starting Quarterbacks

    Kinda agree, and I'm not a Rodgers fan by any means, but... Let's not forget that before the injury in 2023 and one mediocre season on a team with meager receiving talent in 2022, he was the NFL MVP two consecutive years in 2020-2021, which I think buys him some benefit of the doubt even now.
