re: Some credit to Loomis: revisiting trades this year

If he signs elsewhere for big money, we get a 3rd round comp pick back. So it’s a net neutral loss. Or franchise him a year, then let him leave, still get the third back. So yiu get two years out of him and still get a pick back. Last I checked, Vele only has two years left after this ye

The franchise tag for a WR next year is $29 million. Vele will make $1.1 million.

Pels could’ve been a playoff team if they fired Willie sooner. Just like the Saints could’ve won the NFC South if they started Shough sooner.

Shough probably benefitted from watching and learning. He may not have been ready early in the season. There was absolutely no reason and nothing that can be construed as positive by Willie starting the season as HC.

Teams are going to be tanking after all star week.

Our pick to Atlanta is losing a lot of its luster, while Queen is playing like a top 3, possibly #1 overall pick. The trade, which was absolutely blasted by damn near everybody, may turn out to be franchise altering. Some of it is luck and some was foresight, but no matter what, I’m glad it was made.

Legitimate question; cornerstone pieces seem to be in place with Coach, QB, and Kicker. This draft class has been impressive. Some credit seems in order no?

He also made some nice trades lately:

Marshon Lattimore and a 5th for a 3,4 and 6
Luke Fortner for Khalen Saunders
Rashid Shaheed for a 4th and 5th
A 4th and 7th for Devaughn Vele

Pretty good thread you started here. Well, except for the fact that it’s completely retarded.

I think Lara Trump deserves some credit.

re: Shough fixed Johnson and Olave

Olave 17 game pace with Shough 97 catches 1,313 yards 10 TDs Olave 17 game pace with Rattler 110 catches 1,069 yards 6 TDs He’s been a different player under Shough. Credit to Moore as well

It is good play calling, but it’s also the fact that Shough goes through his progressions much more than Rattler did. Shough also calls a lot more audibles and adjustments before the ball is snapped, resulting in better opportunities for the receivers.

Shough throws a very catchable spiral and doesn’t generally lead his receivers into danger.

I didn’t want Shough but my reasons were valid. I said he was a good prospect but shouldn’t be drafted that high in the draft. This team is devoid of talent. That’s still true. The players I wanted to draft in his spot are good players.

A good QB is worth 3 of any other position, especially when factoring in contracts. I don’t know who you wanted, but I would bet those players wouldn’t be near as valuable as Shough would be to this team and their future needs.

One of the most skilled bigs and just players in general that I’ve ever seen Can literally do it all

Absolutely. And that skillset can make this team really dangerous and interesting. We could have a point C in Queen, a point forward in Zion and 2 point guards in Fears and Murray. With 2 great shooters in Trey and Poole and one of the best defenders in the league in Herb Jones. There is just so much that this team can do that would make it impossible to game plan for defensively.

I don’t think you have ever made a decent point on this forum.

Judge him when he plays against a team with a winning record. And when he plays a couple years with consistent wins.

Right now I can only judge him on what he has done so far against the teams he has played. And he has exceeded every expectation and has been a joy to watch and a beacon of hope for this franchise that been devoid of it recently.

Obviously we don’t need him. He is young and somewhat scrappy. Could we even get a 7th rounder?

I’d much rather Rattler as the backup QB than a 7th round pick. He’s perfect as a #2 and super cheap.

Gayle did the same thing with keeping Dennis Allen to start the season for the Saints last year. Both decisions seemed dumb as hell to fans and they/we were proven correct.
