Wentz was definitely a part of us being terrible

And he is the MOST EXPENSIVE "terrible" player we had

Sadly,even if they are bad IMO you keep the same players at the same spot on the Oline. At least then your QB knows where the pressure will come from and adjust. When you have 14 combinations in 16 games, that will not materialize since the pressure will come from a different place than it did last week and I feel that was a big coaching fail by Ped

Yeah so lets let the guys on the O line go that we DO have for more unknown combinations lol

I mean we have a list of guys we know that we could use Driscoll/Mailata/Dillard/Herberig.

Yea some times you have to gamble and make tough decisions can’t keep everyone and pay everyone. We are in cap hell we are old I’d rather move couple pieces now instead of holding onto guys way to long AGAIN and have another JP and Darren Sproles saga

If the goal is to try and repair Wentz Arthur Smith would seem like the best candidate to me.

Ran one of the better Os last two years. Gave new life to Tannehills career.

Also just added bonuses seems to know how to get the best from young WRs and is willing to utilize the ground game. 

I think he would be good too. The question remains is can he be fixed? We still have Hurts on the roster,or do you trade him so "Golden Boy" doesn't feel pressured? If Wentz can't handle the competition we got the wrong guy anyhow

We had a "head case" with AG,we really don't need one at QB. Sorry, if I get a good enough offer(this is the key for me) Wentz is gone

Here's a good hire at OC- Mrs. Wentz. She knows exactly what Carson needs 🙄

Would I field calls for Hurts absolutely but wouldn’t have anything to do with Wentz. If a team called offering me something to good to pass up for my backup QB I’m taking it 

I like my lastest mock,however I am struggling with my 3 pick. RB or O line. I think we can find more O line guys cheap in FA and/or we can use what we have and believe they will become better. If I believe that,I need to go RB in round 3

Then why did you draft him? He goes and Wentz still sucks and we are a 4 win team again, that's a pretty high risk to me. You are then counting on Suds to win games-no thanks

I have Hurts for 3 more years on the cheap. What would you get for him another round 2 pick(if you are lucky)??? I see little reason to trade off draft picks we have rostered unless they are god awful(like Jjaw)

Most teams will "build around their QB" The fact is we have no clue if we have a QB or not. hard to build around something you may not have. Hurts is a rook,he will get better. Wentz is 5 years in,he should already be better, but he's not and thats what we face right now

If I’m hedging my future on Wentz then that what I’d do good or bad. I wouldn’t trade Hurts for nothing but if a team offered me a 1st or a 2nd rounder for my backup QB yes I’d take it. And try to build a stronger team around my starter.

That what some reports stated that Dougs firing was in part the difference in direction at QB Lurie wanted Wentz Doug wanted Hurts 

So hard to know what is true and what isn't from all of these "reports".

Looks like he is headed to Atlanta.  Being reported he turned down 2nd interview with Detroit following 2nd with Falcons because he is intent on taking that job.

Generally some truths in the reports never know all the facts though. There was clearly issues between Doug and the upper management though that seemed to have been brewing for awhile.

Too risky for me. My BU QB now has some NFL experience. I'm not letting him walk with 3 years left on a rook contract and he won me some games. Who am I taking with that draft pick,another rook QB? Suds needs to go away. he sucks worse than I would at QB

To each there own. But who would I take with the extra 1st or 2nd rounder definitely not a QB lol something that would help my team could be WR, OL, DL, DB etc. 

As for backup QB I always preferred the veteran old head I’d look at Fitzmagic he likely will be let go by the Dolphins.

He had better stats than Wentz by a mile .I see the Fins keeping him on. If they get in playoff position they need a solid 2 for Tua(like we had with Foles)

If we landed Smith a guy like Mariota could make sense not 100% sure if he will be a FA though 

Mock(no matter who our QB is). Still pondering my 3 pick,I like the rest where they are 1-6 DeVonta Smith  2-38- Tyson Campbell-CB-Georgia 3-70- Kennth Gainwell-RB-Memphis 5-134-Bobby Brown-DL3T-Georgia 5-140-Micah McFadden-ILB- Indiana 6-165-Tariq Thompson-S- SD St 7-198- Jordan Smith-edge-UAB UDFA Zac Thomas-QB App st and I TRY Dillard at LOG,if that works him and Miliata should have that left side sealed off

I would be ok with him as a BU,but is he better that the potential Hurts has? IDK,but that's a nice way to cover it

I added some decent O pieces and really hit the D as much as possible,so I am happy with my mock at this point

This would all hinge on us getting a great offer for hurts which I don’t see as likely but think your not doing your job as a GM if your not at least listening to possible trades

No, it hinges on making the team more effective on both sides of the ball. If you give me 6 seconds per down to pass even I will cut you up

Howie is the GM,he's not going to trade a player he picked in round 2. it makes him look worse than he already is 

Taking Thomas as a UDFA QB also means Suds hits the bricks, no loss there in my view. Saves a little cap
