That would definitely be consistent with a "Raiders" move.

Raiders should snap swap Lamar for #1 pick.

Speaking of which....when is the right time to launch the Offseason thread? Thinking after the Conference Champs?

Yeah, simultaneously launch Offseason & Super Bowl threads.

Ok.

I’ll do the offseason write up

It makes them better, but does it actually make them contenders? I don't think so.

contending takes time but look what has happened at the Pats with a new coach, new players and better QB play.


Rookie salary QB helps a bit, no? Of course one could say something similar about multiple rookie QBs of late.

It's officially the offseason.


Wasn't that story from last year?


oh ****

it appears to be 3 years old.


It's probably still relative.


I wonder if he's on Favre's group chat?


Quarterbacks in NFL history that have completed passes to a father and a son...

Josh Allen: Frank Gore + Frank Gore Jr

End of list.

Dante Moore returning to school. Smart guy avoiding the Jets

They'll get another shot at him next year. He can run, but he can't hide.


bidz

lord the amount of paper on suite womens room floors

I did. I say no way Raiders should give up their #1 for Lamar.

Throw in more, then we can talk.

The Raiders would snap yes at that deal so quick, c'mon. I'm being as impartial of a Ravens fan as I can possibly be when saying that.


Moore is going to lose tens of millions of dollars in gtd money. This is one of the weakest draft classes ever, especially for QBs.


by tarheels2222 m

Seemed kind of like a self-fulfilling prophecy. They ended up with a low ceiling post-big Ben, because they never fully committed to the tank and rebuild. Of course, some of the results fall on Tomlin and his style/decision making. But they were never going to fully tank with him as the HC.

I’ll be interested to see how he fares elsewhere.

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

They haven't really had a QB or WR for the past 5 years. Finally found a running game this year. Absolutely overachieved with a mediocre roster year in and out.

That's the best argument for getting rid of him is that he is too good to tank.

Don't disagree that in a lot of these recent years Tomlin managed to get quite a lot out of very mediocre teams. Still Tomlin was just past the point of being a coach to take them much past wildcard or divisional weekend.

Their roster just feels like it is near expiry and needs a refresh. Watt will decline soon. Heyward can't have much left in the tank. I get you can't just punt these guys but franchises need to cut the cord faster nowadays. I'll say the same thing in 3 to 4 or so years if Ravens stall out with Lamar under his new deal.
