I've got a couple of French guys working for me. I went and asked, and they just laughed and said "What? Oh no!" Shifty ****! I'm tempted to send them home for the afternoon without pay. It'd be an interesting conversation with HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Philly. The NFL has KC, Cincy, and Buffalo in the AFC and a bunch of young QBs. Who is there in NFC or a QB to get excited about? Right now it’s just Hurts and the Eagles winning a SB makes a team in the NFC relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. I think the Eagles are the go-to this year...feel good story, Hurts an MVP candidate knocked outa the running by injury, returns to lead us to the #1 Seed, beat the pants off the NFC contenders, Nick to the Big Show in his second year, Sack Monsters, the story lines write themselves... I think they (NFL) wants another young gun to celebrate, Mahomes is already there, add Hurts to the constellation of Superstars to promote... Fans are already getting the "Patriot" vibe from KC...sorta sick of em?...just noodling, of course. Still have to go out and take it, obviously, but the setup is in place, as they wanted.

Would it be easy for you to add a column to the right that uses recent Comp Pick history to project what the likely Comp Pick would be for each Average?

I get him getting a job, I hope we also dont lose the number 2 guy behind him. We've got plenty of past mistakes to learn from. They botched everything that could be botched after the last superbowl. Sentimental but unwise extensions, dropping 2 of the 3 most important offensive coaches on the team, etc. The goal is for Steichen to get a HC job quickly. Then they can just promote Brian Johnson to OC and it's all finished. They better get a good QB coach; Johnson won't be far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle45 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Alright...I'm going to talk offseason in a week leading up to the freaking Super Bowl. But that's what I love scheming over. Let's say the Eagles win. Kelce is probably gone. BG would be a retirement risk. Lane, Cox, and Suh probably still want to play. 3 players of ours scare me...Hargrave, Bradberry, and Sanders. 2 guys over 30 who just had career years and a RB who just had a career year. Let them go get a combined $50m per year elsewhere and devour those comp picks. CJGJ...25 years old after a career year...he stays. Channel all the Hargrave/Bradberry/Sanders money (and defer the Hurts extension money) into 1 player...Daron Payne. Instead of putting so much money into retaining aging players that may not repeat 2022, condense it into a younger player who will actually upgrade a position. Payne/Williams/Davis could be incredible. Then spend the draft getting premium talent as the positions with departures. Even if it takes them a year to acclimate, I'd rather dip back a bit in 2023 (likely anyway) and be locked and loaded the following year than end up screwed long term with the over 30 extensions.

Johnson hasn't gone anywhere yet, in fact, the Eagles might have already discussed Johnson moving to OC if Steichen leaves. I haven't really heard of Johnson in the mix for OC jobs around the league.

Honestly KC, and it has nothing to do with the team or fan base, but everything to do with Mahomes. The league wants their own "Jordan" and have THE guy as the face of the NFL. IMO they clearly showed that with Brady. Now that he is gone, Mahomes is the next guy in line and I can easily see a scenario that the NFL would push Mahomes to be the next GOAT.

Jets, but went to Hackett. Albert Breer wrote this a day or two ago about Reich/Panthers. Quote On offense, I think it’s a little clearer—my sense is a run at Eagles QBs coach Brian Johnson is probably coming. Johnson, for what it’s worth, would’ve been Wilks’s OC.
