re: Would you be willing to be absolutely terrible for 2-3 years to blow it all up and rebuild

Now what does 'blow it up' mean? Honestly, I'd like to know. Trade players like Kamara, MT, Olave, Breese, or some of our most frequent pick-ups for picks in draft?

What do we do at QB?

you trade older players on 2nd contracts. MT, Kamara, Ram, maybe Lattimore. You keep Olave, and breese. You get out of cap hell and start a youth movement

I'm about at that point. But the only way out due to our salary cap situation is a total blow up and multi-year rebuild, which probably means a couple of 2-15, 3-14 type seasons.

Try to keep a couple of the younger defensive stars, but dump everyone else that has value. Take the cap hit. Be terrible. Build back the offense through the draft.

That is nice in theory, but you never know what you get in draft picks.

The Eagles starting QB was a 2 rd choice, they got one of the best defensive players in this past draft and he was picked in the teens.

#1 pick Baker Mayfield is on his 5th team

Sam Darnold was a 3rd pick and he is a backup

49ers look to have lucked out with Purdy

Getting the right players is a crap shoot. ( who would have thought 6th round pick Tom Brady would be HOF ?)


I admit I was excited when we signed Carr, but now , he has not impressed me

Saints aren't out of it yet.

I would send a message to the team.

Bench Carr and give Winston a shot for a few games and if he messes up, then give the rookie a look.

Pride and fear of losing your job and next contract is a powerful weapon.

See who steps up

They signed Carr to avoid that type of rebuild but honestly I think he will have the opposite effect.

Yes. Hire a offensive minded HC. Trade Kamara\Lattimore\MT13 for picks.

This is the year to trade a QB. Draft 2 of em. One in the 1st and one in later rounds just like the Redskins did with RGIII and Kirk Cousins.

Keep Olave\Sheed and other young talent.

Players on older, most expensive contracts are traded, or cut, take the cap hits, have a lot of players on first contracts.

Build through the draft. You will have a couple of years with high levels of dead cap money, so you just suck through it.
