  1. Welcome to the Commanders - Jayden Daniels

    Well, he did say exactly that - the agent at least is quoted publicly saying things like, we were confused why the team wasn't helped more to get stronger with the pick. The other thing is, this kind of move is usually reserved for the "Haves" of the league. The ones who have it figured it out...

  2. Welcome to the Commanders - Jayden Daniels

    Almost 100% agree with this post, for me. The concerns about Jayden, the feelings on JJ, the feelings on Drake. It seems like JJ is in a place which is more "ready" - especially in terms of OL. I am hopeful about Quinn, but right now I think KoC is the more proven commodity. Outside of the...

  3. QB or not QB

    Yes, honestly, the crazy moves they made with the capital they got from the Commanders surprised me. I didn't remember it all; I remembered the original trade (of course; I think we all do for the most part), and then I had a vague recollection that they moved one or two pieces of it for "more"...

  4. QB or not QB

    I understand why they may have wanted to start afresh. However, was it a need? Did they really have to jettison Howell? There are a lot of reports today that teams are calling the Commanders about the availability of the #2 spot in the draft, and are being told the Commanders are not shopping it...

  5. Heresy or Foresight? - The J.J. McCarthy Thread

    Why would you be shocked though, because there are negatives being reported on Maye and Daniels (of course). If Peters thinks that those concerns merit more wariness, I could see him going with McCarthy. I get the concerns on McCarthy too, but keep in mind Maye and Daniels have enough marks...

  6. The Roadrunner - The Jayden Daniels Thread

    Well, yeah; SMART teams know that when they hire a guy, they have to deal with the AGENT a lot too. So it definitely matters, a lot, to the smart teams. It is a factor. I keep saying "smart" because I am pretty sure the main thing that drove the old regime was SPITE. It was always SPITE. Just...

  7. 2024 - Way too early draft thread

    Depending on how you view the draft and your ability to react (and probably also your relationships with certain teams/management), you can make plans that are extremely dynamic too. Like, if this scenario plays out and guys start disappearing, then at the last minutes make the call to trade up...

  8. 2024 Starting Lineup

    Mariota may be viewed as a one-year starter. It depends on how they look at rookie QBs, what their general plan is, etc. If their plan is to go long-term, they view models such as what made Jordan Love and other young QBs ultimately seem successful (jury is still out on Love) as models to...

  9. How Low Would You Go?

    Agreed; Harris has been very clear about it, and they have been methodical in their approach. It is interesting to see how the dynamics shape out. I would characterize them as observably: - very patient. --- they definitely took a very methodical approach to the GM and coaching searches. The GM...

  10. 2024 - Way too early draft thread

    You aren't wrong there, those are good points - Aikman was a #1 pick and he was able to withstand a season of brutality and punishment, and the team did indeed build up around him. That's a really strong example of your point, and certainly a good lynchpin in a dynastic build. I think, though...

  11. How Low Would You Go?

    What does "evaluate the results" look like, though? You see, for the owners I am talking about, their metric is not "Super Bowl or nothing" (at least, internally). They say "We only want Championships" and that is true, but I can tell you from the organizational wording you hear and more...

  12. Random Commanders Thoughts

    I wanted to see if he had a "mediocre" career; did he meet the standard for "mediocre" or is he less? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GrifRo01.htm 56 Games, 9271 Yards, 63% (Completion), QBRrec 16-26, 43 TD, 30 INT, 7.3 Y/A Better numbers than I thought! If I want to twist it...

  13. QB or not QB

    If the Bears don't take Caleb, I would 100% expect the Commanders to take him. I highly doubt Kliff dislikes Caleb, and I think that would more than assuage any concerns they may have about him. Add to that the hometown aspect, I am pretty sure it would be impossible to pass on. However I agree...

  14. 2024 - Way too early draft thread

    I would still say that if you are looking long-term (which Harris has said repeatedly he is), then it's possible you want to bring the "great" QB in last, not first. In the meantime, you can build up the team and make sure the structure for long-term success is in place. Throwing in a good or...

  15. How Low Would You Go?

    Guys, to be clear here though - most of the orgs where you hear the owners names tied to the day-to-day more, I feel they are bottom dwellers or at most mediocre. The ones who do the best, love 'em or hate 'em, a lot of times the owners' involvement seems a lot more hidden. Sure, in some cases...

  16. How Low Would You Go?

    Well, just to be clear, my personal perfect world is more similar to yours, Boone - maybe even more extreme! In my world, the owner hires a "football / organizational person" (President or GM), and then steps aside. That's it. The buck stops with THAT person, and success or failure will lead to...

  17. How Low Would You Go?

    By the way, just to add fuel to the idea that Harris may like the idea of trading down and NOT getting a QB: he has shown in past places (76ers famously) and in his words here (he has said that he wants to be patient and build a long-term winner) that he is willing to wait and eschew mediocrity...

  18. 2024 - Way too early draft thread

    If Peters knows his stuff, then a mass of picks is worth much more. If you have a weaker FO, then in many cases the higher picks end up being more heavily weighted (and then when your FO is really bad, you fail at 3 2nd round picks... ahem). I wouldn't give up picks until we have proven the...

  19. How Low Would You Go?

    That is an inaccurate statement though, you can't say "they are giving us 2 1s for our 1." They didn't just magically give us 2 1s for free. They gave us 3 1s for our 1. I see you mean, we netted 2 1s for our 1, but even that is inaccurate, because we didn't get an equal 1 for our 1. So, you...

  20. ~***Breaking***~ - Sam Howell traded to Seattle

    I think the concept of "luck" gets involved when you look at the actual possibility of knowing every factor. I remember when I was investing in stocks and someone was saying it was like gambling - I mean, I took offense, but then when I was invested in a company doing great and the CEO then got...

We are all excited to experience the announcement of draft selections IN REAL TIME TOGETHER.
