  1. Arizona themselves are the ones that have lessened Rosen's trade value, failing to keep their desire for Murray secret.
  2. No doubt. I saw the stats this morning; Brady to Gronk was something like a 120+ passer rating and over 140 against the blitz.
  3. I can't figure out the sample size (says he was moved to Safety in 2018) but only getting thrown at 16 times with a 25% INT rate is fucking nuts.
  4. I just assumed "Drew" was white.
  5. It'd be nice to have a real ball-hawk FS. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-juan-thornhill-possesses-coverage-versatility-could-be-a-valuable-asset?fbclid=IwAR2lEtaITM8qgYv_58y2LraPGHAbxst5Zdu1f9V6C6LRzsqVnUs2JEEkFpk
  6. Latest NFL.com mock has us taking QB Drew Lock (Missouri) at #6.
  7. I don't want a lot of things but I'm just trying to make sense of what's going on here, and it doesn't seem that this year's "blue chip" QB prospects are of the quality for going all-in on.
  8. I don't know this draft class at all...but isn't Shurmur supposed to be a "QB Whisperer"? Is there a kid with a good base of measurables and skills that might not be an NFL-ready top 10 pick but is someone Shurmur would want to develp behind Eli?
  9. "Poor in coverage and lousy at open-field tackles". He'll fit right in.
  10. Le'Veon Bell is a fucking great player. Taking a year off will only help extend his career.
  11. I posted why he hasn't done "jack shit". He's not getting the ball. Just image...the new guard, Beckham AND Tate, Shepard in the slot, Barkley...and a new QB. That's a team that could move forward.
  12. Dolphins trade quarterback Tannehill to Titans 1:29 PM CT Cameron WolfeESPN Staff Writer The Miami Dolphins are trading longtime starting quarterback Ryan Tannehillto the Tennessee Titans. Miami will receive a 2020 fourth-round pick along with a 2019 seventh-round pick in exchange for Tannehill and a 2019 sixth-round pick, a source told ESPN. Tannehill will become a well-accomplished backup for Marcus Mariota in Tennessee. Miami has a huge quarterback void to fill and seems likely to look toward the draft to do so. The Titans restructured Tannehill's contract into a deal that will pay him $7 million fully guaranteed with a chance to make up to $12 million in incentives for the 2019 season, a source told ESPN. The deal was made easier for Tennessee since Miami will pay $5 million of the guaranteed money in the form of a signing bonus, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Dolphins decided to move on from Tannehill earlier this offseason, and they've spent the past few weeks actively pursuing a trade. Tannehill was originally due $18.7 million in salary in 2019 and was set to count as $26.6 million against their salary cap. Miami, in the midst of a rebuild, couldn't justify those huge numbers for a player who clearly wasn't part of their long-term future. Tannehill will leave a $13.4 million dead cap on the Dolphins' salary cap in 2019. But they did get trade value out of a player they were set to release this offseason. Tannehill now reunites with veteran defensive end Cameron Wake, who signed a three-year, $23 million deal with the Titans earlier this week. The 30-year-old Tannehill has been the Dolphins' starting QB since he was drafted with the eighth overall pick of the 2012 NFL draft out of Texas A&M. He's 42-46 as a starter, with a 62.8 percent completion rate, 20,434 passing yards, 123 touchdowns and 75 interceptions. He completed 64.2 percent of his passes for 1,979 yards, 17 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in 2018. Tannehill's time in Miami was marked by his lack of availability due to injury and inability to get the Dolphins over the playoff hump. Tannehill has missed 25 games over his past three seasons due to a variety of injuries, including a right shoulder capsule injury that cost him five games in 2018. The injuries also sapped some of what made Tannehill an intriguing quarterback early in his career: athleticism, ability to make plays when they break down and a strong arm with precise accuracy. For the Titans, they've been looking for multiple seasons to find a top-end backup as injury insurance for Mariota. Titans general manager Jon Robinson got creative in a trade to find the best option to fill the role. Mariota, 25, hasn't played a full 16-game season in his career. He's also playing on a fifth-year option worth $20.9 million, and he's set to be a free agent after the season. Tannehill's skill set should fit well behind Mariota as both players rely on accuracy and movement to succeed. The Dolphins spent seven years trying to get a full evaluation of Tannehill, and ultimately they decided it would be a counterproductive same-old-Dolphins way of thinking to let him get another shot under a new staff. Brian Flores was hired to replace Adam Gase as head coach after the season ended. The Dolphins now face a new era without a clear answer at quarterback. They have been actively examining quarterbacks in the 2019 NFL draft class, and they seem to be a strong candidate to select a prospect in the first round of this year's draft or the next one. The Dolphins currently have just two quarterbacks on their roster: Jake Rudock and Luke Falk. Neither has started a game in the NFL, and they've combined for five career passing attempts. Miami will be looking for a veteran quarterback in the coming weeks to add to the roster. Top available free agents include Colin Kaepernick, Blake Bortles, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Robert Griffin III, AJ McCarron and Mike Glennon.
  13. No. Not yet. Too soon. And my friend just gave me an authentic Beckham jersey like three weeks ago and I'm pissed. But otherwise your rationale is all hyperbole and gossip. We just lost a generational talent who will be a top player for years to come.
  14. Of course his best year was starting next to Chandler Jones. Let's hope our DTs can be half as effective.
  15. You're not "rebuilding" when the youngest guy you bring in is 29. We're treading water at best. If they truly wanted to rebuild then Barkley,OBJ and a young QB would be the cornerstones of that effort.
  16. He was once on a boat too.
  17. He had his slump in NE, that why he was a FA. It was slim pickings but it was still a bad signing. Hope he proves me wrong.
  18. So now we're a Barkley injury away from actually being the Browns.
