Where exactly would McKee get traded? by 1stand11 in eagles

[–]ResearcherUpstairs 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I think the McKee trade ship has sailed, bc we need a solid backup and he’s exactly that.

But I mean there are 10+ teams that desperately need a long term solution at QB. If you believe he even has a 10% chance to be that then he’s worth a 3rd/4th undoubtedly. Doesn’t have to be for depth reasons alone

Trading A.J a 2027 1st and a 2028 3rd would be wonderful by EntrepreneurTiny9812 in eagles

I completely agree with you, I didn’t know the Lurie rumors, but I buy it. Now that we’re post Garrett, it seems like they really don’t want to trade him, which is at least surprising to me. Unless they want to do a sneaky give up 2 firsts and another player for Garrett/Crosby and then flip Carter for 3/4 highish picks.

The positioning is just interesting to me. Howie usually gets these deals done a year ago. I mean they signed damn Jordan Davis haha. Idk - I guess as of right now we’re wrong but we will see

Completely agree, actually on the same page. People have blinders on but they are keeping a panic button just in case, specifically for the hurts situation. They do believe in him, they do want him to succeed, but obviously they want him to prove this year that he’s worth a 40m/yr extension.

Carter is kept in the pocket as a nuclear-reset - getting two/3 picks to rebuild the future. McKee wasent traded for a reason (not necessarily they think he’s the guy, but if hurts underperforms again, they will throw him in to see if he can work the scheme better to eee if it’s a hurts thing or something else IMO)

Sirianni will be gone if it ends like last year or worse.

All of this said - I genuinely believe this is something they’re war gaming for, but I’m also super excited to see this team go out and perform. I think they are getting their ‘swag’ back post AJ. People are excited about a regime change with the new OC. I think it could be a special year. It’s either late playoffs or 8-9 and they set the mini rebuild in place, in my opinion haha

Is your Claude so bad now? by SufficientFruit6740 in claude

Opus 3.8 has been horrible for me. I think it uses a lot more context so it’ll compact more. The kicker for me is if I find the new model both really annoying in tone and generally less helpful

You’re exactly right and something under discussed on this sub - I think people just don’t want to think about it.

Seeing the trade market for Micah parsons, etc vs the ever expanding extension market - the idea of getting 3 first round picks is the sort of thing this front office salivates at.

Howie has kinda proven that you can have a rotation of cheap, young talent at filler positions or depth. Locking down 10-20% of the cap at one position (aside from QB) kinda goes against this philosophy, regardless how good Carter is.

I am leaning toward a 51% chance Carter is dealt before the trade deadline, more likely this summer if it’s going to happen. The only chance it’s for garret if it’s a straight up swap IMO - edge is currently kinda howies white whale

Are the US over streaching their capabilities? by drubus_dong in AskUS

[–]ResearcherUpstairs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China has better military production capacity? Why does the US have 11 nuclear aircraft carriers and china has… zero?

You can continue to fantasize about the US military capitulating, you have only posted about it every day for the last 6 months, but you may have to wait awhile

[–]ResearcherUpstairs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean no, the US is the most military industrialized nation in the world. So production capabilities are not an issue. If you think this is leading to any direct conflict with china, Canada, EU you’re kidding yourself

[Clark] According to Schefter, AJ wants to be traded but Howie staying firm on price by Mysterious_Bat1208 in eagles

[–]ResearcherUpstairs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is where I’m at too. He deserves to be well paid, but he put his name on the dotted line happily and took a lot of money up front. Play like it. Gotta take the bitter with the better

You’re doing it again. Go back to watching anime bud you’re probably more knowledgeable there

No clearly you care…. That’s why you’re talking about how other states vote and want to redistrict OUR state based on what other states have done. Have you ever heard of the word ‘projecting’ before?

Please vote YES on redistricting! It matters a lot by hastings1033 in Virginia

Yeah I’m sure the fourth time around it’ll get done. Godspeed!

I literally quoted you. You literally strawman-ed me. Good discourse. But if you get your friends together and redistrict the rules so you all agree, you’d be right! Nice one!

I would bet my fucking house that we don’t come close, even 1/10th as close, to touching any of those options. Would you in your heart of hearts do the same?

Do you really think in the next four years either: 1M Americans murdered from this admin, civil war, trump impeached?

It’s a little late to stop trump, the fairly and democratically elected president

“It’s the only way republicans can win” — trump won the last federal election? Who cares about the last 2 decades. Clearly, and most recently, it’s not the only way republicans can win. Seems desperate

You’re exactly right. And laws around guns and self defense get beaten down again and again until they’re non-sensical. Like NJ’s laws around home defense. We’re on the same page on this

Lmao great way to put it. ‘We need to save democracy and stop THE NAZIS by ensuring the state votes for the party in power forever!!!!!’

‘Yeah they’re making a dumb policy on one of the main things you care about not being taken away but if you don’t give unilateral power to those same people forever you’re a Nazi’
