The Falcons were one of the teams I thought might draft a quarterback because they knew Cousins would only be there for probably 2 years. They can cut him in year 3 with a 25 million cap hit ( )but that shouldn't deter them from getting their guy.Jeevo wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:59 pm:So he sits until he’s 26? Or the highly paid FA does. Why sign Cousins then, lots of cheaper options if you’re planning on QB at 8. I really couldn’t care less about the Falcons but I find it interesting.

Four plays into next season if Rodgers snaps his achilles again, Jets may wish they had jumped in on a QB too. He’s an old man.Amish Cabal wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:59 pm:I think it was a smart pick for the Falcons. They got Cousins, now they've got a replacement and perhaps somebody to push him. No one expected it. Perfect pick for them.

Superb point.haji81872 wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:02 pm:People who have pounded for BPA all the time got your wish.
I am glad you did.
I think we have seen enough of Kelce to say we want our own.

Well,the truth is...we need to get better on the offense more than the defense,so I'm backing off my bitching a little bit.CWood24 » Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:13 pm
They got to a SB though with a so called game managerlive.B.A.raida wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:38 pm:9ers have a nasty defense, a great tight end and receiver options not to mention their running back. Were they able to beat Mahomes in the SB?

Now doubt Renz is connected.Raider_Dave wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:05 pm:yeah... the guys here saying we shoulda/coulda just traded up are certainly much more in the know.

So there are other way to win in the NFL with the franchise QB

QB is the most important position in the NFL, but everyone acts like as long as we drafted anyone of those top 6 we had the next Mahomes which its almost certain none of them will be. I liked Penix but things didnt fall that way. I dont think TT and the Raiders had any interest in JJ or Nix.Dark Horse » Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:20 pm
Rattler has this tiny cult following heresilver_ghost wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:02 pm:Hell no! Rattler is not better than the QBs we have on our roster. We need players who will play this season not five years from now. I want Raiders to move up and grab a corner followed by a RG.

WCO offense now.crowbar wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:12 pm:Well,the truth is...we need to get better on the offense more than the defense,so I'm backing off my bitching a little bit.
I look for this team to run the ball 40 times a game.
Time for some beef on the offensive line.

Why would we pick the best pass receiving TE to come out in years, who is a little weak in blocking, to run the ball 40 times?crowbar wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:12 pm:Well,the truth is...we need to get better on the offense more than the defense,so I'm backing off my bitching a little bit.

No one ever disputes that but if the QB’s were there we should have taken a swing they weren’t so we took BPA16 to 88 wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:17 pm:Gee, I wonder who has been pointing this out for months on end now? Let me see, let me see...

It’s the 2nd time they’ve got there in the last few years and couldn’t actually win… isn’t the goal to win SBs?CWood24 wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:13 pm:They got to a SB though with a so called game manager
