He definitely has to make a decision on Fields, i just dont thinks its this year. If he takes Williams, that process goes away. I still think he will keep Fields and draft a QB ,maybe with the second round pick. McCarthy, Nix, Penix, or a surprise pick. He developes him in one or two years, he moves on from Fields unless we make a trip to the SB. He can bring him back and not pick up the option. Giants did that with Jones. The first pick in the draft will make more money than Justin does this year. I think Poles is using this year to advance the talent on the roster and still have a QB option. KC is in the SB with paying a 57 mil, 27 mil, 25 mil, 15 mil, 14 mil, 14 mil, and 11 mil in contracts. They will have 24 mil to the good in cap space this year. We dont have to worry about money for two years.

There is nothing in that video that tells anything new, people act like we learned some secret news . Watch the video in the first minute and a half and at 4:30 to 5:25 I never said Scheftner is full of crap its just( this is nothing). If you see something different so be it. They are just having a conversation, he's not reporting a news flash.

If Bowers is Kittle like and we drop back in the top ten, he will be a consideration. Waldron run two TE sets, for example: in the Detriot game that turned into 11 completions for 161 yards. Those plays were highly suscessful and helped in the power running game also .

ARZ isnt trading for Fields but Pitt is in play but Pittsburgh never wastes value. They can offer their second and still have a chance to get him. There is 6 draftable QBs, 3 will go top 10, and they will have a chance at McCarthy, Nix, and Penix w/o giving up a pick. If they trade for Justin, they know they have to pay him in two years, so if we get rid of him for that reason, they wont take him for that reason. Only Ptt from 16 to 32 has a need for a QB. No one is giving a top 15 pick for Justin. Scheftiy said that he is worth 2 firsts at the minimum so say 40 comes back and maybe one more. That's probably.

Read it how you like, he didnt say anything we dont already know (2nd round pick maybe a first) I seen the video. He wasnt specific about anything. The chance that Poles takes Williams is high He didnt lie about anything, he didnt provide inside information. I would love to get a first but he talks about hypotheticals. What in this video am that I"m missing?

I agree money will come into play but not for several years. 6 mil this year, 25 mil if we pick up the option for 2025. The tag for a QB in 2024 is 35 mil . It will be a little higher in 2026. say 40 mil? The cap will continue to climb and Poles is managing the cap well. Only 7 players over 10 mil this year. 2 of those will be gone this year and in 2025 both Nate Davis and Edmunds could be cut with only 7 mil in dead money. In 2026 only Sweat and Kmet are over 10 mil. We will resign Moore (23 mil?) The base will all be young players on cheap contracts, Poles moves are surgical to allow to pay QB in 2026. He will load up on draft picks and keep the cycle going. he will bring in people like Billings, Walker and Edwards, that total 16 mil in year 2025. This year he will tag JJ for 18.4 mil, 2025 it will cost 20 mil to tag him. By then Terrel Smith will unseat JJ. He will sign a few FAs to contracts like Edwards, and Billings. I doubt he signs another big contract. He will bring in a WR, FS,OC,3 T all on contracts under 10 mil. The other spots will be filled by the draft. Money is not a problem period.

Mahomes would not have been ruined but wouldn't be the QB he is today. Maybe moving on from Williams is regretful but winning is all that matters. If Poles takes a different path, he won't regret it as long as we get to the same end. Does SF regret taking Lance, yes , and their in the SB anyway.

If he trades him, a first would be great, it definitely increases the odds he may trade him. It's funny that media argues to get rid of him because he's bad and turn around and say ( he's worth a first round pick). The media is so flippant.

That's funny, if Poles drafts Williams, I have no problem with it at all, if he retains Fields, you will. Showing other liked minded peoples posts is not pushing anything , it's equally expressing one side of a conversation. It's not any different that you stating your opinion. I'm not getting upset over your opinion but you are mine. It's not any different than saying I liked Flus coming back, you did not. Poles kept Flus, The nonsense is you complaining about Flus, he's our coach and your opinion changed nothing.

He gets inside information and a first would be great but this time of year a lot of crab floating out there. Second is the reasonable answer. What GM is going to tell any reporter what he's going to do this early , the process is just starting, it's not a week from the draft. Speculation or false reporting are options to. Most new coaches are from teams needing QBs, you think new hires already have their plans finished?

If Poles thinks Caleb is special, he's not passing on him for a few picks. The key to the conversation is what Poles thinks? No one knows, people only guess or think it's not debatable but most people thought Flus was gone, that didn't happen. So much for guessing.

( That's what I'm hearing) from who? The only substantial study done with that was one writer send a questionnaire to all 32 GMs. 10 responded to it. A few said a second round , 4 said a third and a few had multi picks like a second and a forth, a third and fifth. None said a # 1. I will try to find the article , I think he was with ESPN or the Athletic.

This is long but at 1:02 Cris Simms gives an interview. He has a feeling that the Bears will draft CW but does like Justin. Runs the whole gamit of the argument.

Im interested in what Poles is feeling, anonymous opinions are irrelevant.

Way cool , interested in what feelings you have on what you see.

The only true generational player going into the draft is MHJ, some others may prove to be that, but no one doubts Marvin isnt great.

Does anyone have a take on Michael Pratt ? I seen a couple preseason ranking that had him top 5 for QBs and never heard much about him. CMP ATT CMP% YDS AVG TD INT LNG RTG 185 283 65.4 2,406 8.5 22 5 50 158.9 215 338 63.6 3,010 8.9 27 5 87 161.8 189 328 57.6 2,381 7.3 21 8 59 134.8 140 254 55.1 1,806 7.1 20 8 52 134.5 2023 2022 2021 2020

People are just posting their opinions, everyone has one. In the end only one opinion counts. POLES

And you dont? Its never pressure to have opinions, there is no right or wrong opinions, only wrong stats, wrong facts , misquotes. definition of opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Whatever narrative you wish to push, there are a long list on both sides of the agrument. I listen to all of them and then try to form my own opinion. With lots more information to come out, a lot of people are saying, Caleb is that guy but that is thier opinions , I'll let the process play out. I'll accept whatever player Poles chooses. He is privy to much more info than anyone else.

Here's a draft list of top players by Ourlads website, they are former scouts that still provide information to some teams. their lists are always a little different than most so called experts on the draft. I track them and they are fairly accurate on the players taken in the first round but not at the right teams. https://www.ourlads.com/top-32-college-senior-prospects/nfl-draft/2024/6362497/

Been to 27 countries but never been to PR, will have to plan a trip there, heard that from several people. Cabo is safe but Im not out at 2 in the morning by myself drunk. That may be a different animal. Between Giggling Marlin and Happy Ending, a lot of bars with live music, good place to go. Cabo Wabo is on the first street away from the Marina behind those bars.

Expense wise its like Californa prices unless you get away from the Marina area, other places in Mexico a lot cheaper if you stay away from tourist areas. I bought a long sleeve shirt, knocked it down to 20 (cool at night), then bought one as a souvern for someone and paid 13 for the shirt, always look around when buying things.
