WFT's Off-Season Thread

It looks clean so it must have been game worn.


Lmao

Not to mention only one NFL quality receiver, only one real Tight end...not sure where some people’s expectations of a top 10 or so offense came from. We are very talent deficient there and with a revolving door at QB on top of that, it’s almost impossible to be consistent, let alone really good.

Yup. And we got TORCHED in the secondary all year long. I don't like Darby, he looks good on paper but gets beat way too much. I like Fuller in slot, but we need 2 starting CBs and a safety, and have no one special anywhere at LB.

If McL or Thomas goes down, we have NOTHING behind them. Best case scenario is one of the 27 underachieving WRs on roster becomes a #2, but we can't count on that. I also saw our OL getting blown up by pass rushers all year, including Scherff.

We beat ONE winning team all year. ONE.

Alex Smith is coming back per ESPNs Jeremy Fowler....

Fuck that!

Fuck that!

Well he thinks he is....... if we cut him he may retire.

He needs to be aware of the fact that he is not going to get a starting job ANYWHERE in the NFL now, so if he wants to come back to WFT it would have to be as a mentor/coach/backup on a substantially lower salary. If we trade for a veteran, even Mariota :doh:, he will be out of here.

I feel like we're going with the unnecessarily harsh "you ain't shit, GTFO" move here, when in reality it will be a respectful exchange.

Here's the convo:

Alex: Ron, I want to keep playing. I know I can do this.

Ron: Alex, I respect the hell out of you because you went through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side, but we can't have you back at your salary, and we want to get younger at qb. It's not smart to rely on a 37 year old qb with an injury history as your #1 option in this game.

Alex: Ron, I disagree but I respect you for being upfront about it.

Ron: Alex, we're gonna let you go, but:

(option A)if you can't find a starting job somewhere else we'd be happy to have you back as a backup, on a backup's salary.

(option B) I know with your work ethic teams will be calling, and I'll put in a good word for you if you need it. Good luck.

Good news to me.

Now draft a LT at #19,our next QB to mentor in Round 2, then get him some elite WR weapons in FA. We can buy a stud MLB too.

No need to spend our whole cap on a QB.

We're NOT getting Watson, Prescott or Carr for a good price, so the other options are really no better than a healthy Alex Smith, Taylor Heinicke or 2nd-Round pick. Build around our QBs. Smith was 5-1 with ONE wide receiver and a backup O-Line that never had a stud LT. He'll be even better with some talent around him and time to throw. His arm and high IQ are still there.

No to Wentz, Trubisky, Mariota, Newton, Winston, Brissett. McCarron, Fitzpatrick, Taylor, Dalton, McCoy, RG3, Barkley, Sudfeld, Flacco. Ryan Griffin, CJ Bethard. Gabbert, Geno Smith, Glennon, Hoter, Hundley. Mannion, Dobbs, Mullens, Boyle.

That's the full list of FA option s left.

Seems like too many cooks? I don't know much about him, just the quick scan that he also has been a GM before, and that he was in the Colts FO for most of PManning's run, culminating with leaving the season after Manning retired.

Hard to know how much his ability played in to the Colts success, but 6years with the Jaguars doesn't inspire much confidence.
