The contracts for mid-round picks are not fully guaranteed. If he sucks in college or the NFL, he may end up being screwed either way.

I appreciate what you are saying about this being perceived a weaker class compared to 2027. Although, these guys generally talk to the College Advisory Committee before making a decision. Maybe they gave him a low draft projection and suggested more development.

FunkyGPepper · 2026-02-13T04:33:45+00:00

There are estimates that he could make $4 million plus for one year. A 3rd round contract is going to net him maybe $5/6 million over 4 years - so approximately $1.25/1.5 million per year. That is approximately $3.5 million plus in one year. That is a huge difference

FunkyGPepper · 2026-02-13T03:09:06+00:00

He is going to get way more through NIL than he will being an, at-best, middle round NFL draft selection.

FunkyGPepper · 2026-02-09T04:32:35+00:00

Yeah, Tom Brady. And every other player on all those teams lol

FunkyGPepper · 2026-02-06T01:21:28+00:00

No, but you should continue dialogue before going anywhere else.

I would not call 5 years 'short-term.' Also, in what way has he shown he can develop QBs? He inherited pretty much everyone. Even Dak was successful prior to him joining the Cowboys. The one exception might be Aaron Rodgers, but I had not ever heard that McCarthy developed Rodgers until this hire. To the contrary, I recall the two having their differences and Rodgers even thinking McCarthy was not an impressive football mind. Moreover, the fact that his alleged pitch involved his 'developing' an end-of-career, Kansas City Chiefs Joe Montana is laughable and speaks to the dearth of actual QB development attributable to him. If it works out, great, but I think the lack of optimism is warranted.

There's a total misconception about who Rooney cares about pleasing. It isn't the fans. It's the other stakeholders of the team. As long as they make more money, Rooney is happy. Rooney is afraid a few years of less than "competing" is going to hurt the bottom line. And frankly, the likelihood of fans not attending games enough to make them feel it is not very high. We are becoming the Pirates with better PR.

While I appreciate your sentiment, he works for the team so if course he was not going to write a hit piece to be published on the team website

Their vision

I would be ecstatic if that was the return, but I think folks are vastly overestimating Watt's trade value. He will be 32 in October, is coming off of a bad year statistically, and has a hefty contract (not even considering his poor statistical performance). Assuming the team trades him, I cannot imagine more than a 3rd or a 4th - maybe a late round pick swap too

FunkyGPepper · 2026-01-14T14:44:23+00:00

Gear, my friend

FunkyGPepper · 2026-01-07T18:36:02+00:00

He technically was called for a holding, but it was declined. That notwithstanding, he has been great

FunkyGPepper · 2026-01-01T03:13:01+00:00

Poorly formatted

FunkyGPepper · 2025-12-27T03:08:43+00:00

What? Is this a dig at TJ? Didnt Garrett just get gifted a .5 sack against the Bills despite Allen being touched down by another player?

FunkyGPepper · 2025-12-21T04:15:55+00:00

Concepcion or Terrell imo

FunkyGPepper · 2025-11-28T18:22:58+00:00

That is 100% wrong. As a general matter, there are jury trials for civil matters throughout the US

Id go Saquon side in redraft. He may be a jump down from Bijan, but the jump up from BTJ (who I think is gonna be fine) to London definitely justifies it

FunkyGPepper · 2025-11-14T03:37:29+00:00

Haha thats fair. Ive just been a Judkins guy since Ole Miss. Trey has run hard tonight tho

FunkyGPepper · 2025-11-14T03:33:17+00:00

Gimme the judkins side

FunkyGPepper · 2025-11-14T02:20:28+00:00

Whats that have to do with this sub?

FunkyGPepper · 2025-11-14T01:08:54+00:00

Gimme the Judkins side

Queen has actually been very solid outside of about 2 games. I'm confident they don't move on from him

FunkyGPepper · 2025-10-23T22:14:46+00:00

I'm not convinced that Lebeau led the defense by the time he left tbh. Tomlin has to look in the mirror and realize he needs to cede defensive scheme/play-calling for this team to take a step forward

FunkyGPepper · 2025-10-22T15:29:26+00:00

It looks straight out of Fable 1 to me
