How did you feel about Mayfield? Where do you rank Murray relative to Mayfield, Mahomes, Wilson and Jackson as smaller, quicker, more mobile WBs?I don't get the infatuation with Murray. Guaranteed bust imo
I thought Mayfield would be a bust. Not necessarily because of size. He's done well but so have a lot of QB's in year one.How did you feel about Mayfield? Where do you rank Murray relative to Mayfield, Mahomes, Wilson and Jackson as smaller, quicker, more mobile WBs?
For me...
Mahomes 10 (relative)
Wilson 9
Mayfield 7
Murray 6
Jackson 4
We have zero idea who contacted Baltimore. Could have been a number of teams. It only takes one other team to make it a bidding war.Flacco was going to get cut for cap space. There was only a couple teams in the market for a vet QB and their eyes are on Foles who costs zero draft picks. Elway bid against himself. Even if you think Flacco isn’t trash, he wasn’t worth more than a 7th rd pick.

And the Eagles are going to franchise Foles and trade for a third, according to rumors.

And the rumor here is that they will STILL franchise Foles and are asking for a 3rd rounder.False. I’m an Eagles fan. They already picked up his option which included an option for Foles to buy his freedom for $2 million which he has already done.
This isn’t rocket science. If you follow the league, the only other team who is in current active pursuit for a vet QB is the Jags who hired Foles’ former QB coach as OC.

As Jenns posted above, that roster is going to get blown up due to cap issues but we will see.
He's not a FA until league starts. The Eagles can still franchise him until then. Most players who are franchised are technically FA, until league start day.What you are doing is doubling down on ignorance instead of googling. Nick Foles is a free agent and thus can’t be franchised tagged. He bought his freedom with a $2 million option.

My friend just told me the Broncos should draft Jalen Hurts in 2020. @Duff Man what do you think of that?

You’re right about that and I apologize. But here’s the deal: the Eagles have 9 draft picks this year including two 2nd’s. They get a 3rd comp pick in 2020 for letting Foles walk. The amount of hurdles and risks they would have to take to franchise Foles is not worth it getting a 3rd a year earlier. We can circle back here on March 5th when it’s clear to everyone that he’s an FA.
That's my thinking, too. There's always a lottery involved with the comp picks, but clearing 20m just to be able to trade a guy for a mid rounder seems like quite a task to me. And money will be tight anyway when you consider they may want to make a move or two in FA and need money to sign their draft class.
it is not a lottery, it is a formula. Since they don't have much cap space, if Foles contract runs out and he is signed to starting QB money, they will get a 3rd.
Tell that to the Broncos re: Russell Okung and their 2016 offseason signings.

Obviously speaks to the strengths of the QBs on those teams.According to Sharp, San Fran was #2 in the NFL in snap percentage taken under center (56%). Anyone want to guess which teams were #1, #3, #4, and #5 in the league?
1 - Rams (63%), 3 - Patriots (55%), 4 - Saints (51%), 5 - Falcons (50%)
Definitely, although I wouldn't quite go that far with the Rams and Goff. Everybody loves them some Sean McVay and his new age innovative offense, but what I don't think most people realize is that his offense is the Shanahan/Kubiak offense from the 90s and early 2000s, with a few different wrinkles. McVay came from the Mike Shanahan (and Kyle Shanahan) tree in Washington, which was really when Mike and Kyle brought that offense into the 21st century with RG3.Obviously speaks to the strengths of the QBs on those teams.

So, my original point still stands. The Broncos could've went after Foles without spending any draft picks this year. A QB in his prime who won at Chicago in the playoffs after pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the year (+13.5 spread) in LA against the Rams and then beating another playoff team (Texans). Super Bowl MVP last year in the greatest offensive game in NFL history by total yards from scrimmage.
But hey, Flacco can play under center, is cheaper, & got hot in the playoffs 7 years ago. Definitely worth a 4th rd pick to not even try to get Foles first.
