ARE WE SEEING THE NEW NFL...
 

Here me out...

So what we have seen played out in Tampa and before almost happened in Indy with Rivers...

Build your team O line and Defense. Every position every asset... avoid the young QB who will in 5 or so years start commanding 20-30 million contract.

One the you have all the parts minus the QB then make a play at a top 5 QB who isn't happy and is either in a contract year or wants traded.

Its like they are figuring this out and before long it will be like the NBA.

Re: ARE WE SEEING THE NEW NFL...
 

I think it worked in Tampa because so many guys were willing to take a 1 year deal to make a run with Tom Brady. Any other QB, they might have looked elsewhere. Freakin' Gronk came out of retirement for that.

Re: ARE WE SEEING THE NEW NFL...
 

Here's the funny thing - the Colts, the Bucs and now the Rams who seem to be locking into this approach - playoff teams yes, but none of them won their division last year. I'd like to see us stay away from this approach and capitalize on other teams getting desperate.

NOTHING "NEW" ABOUT IT.
Dooms Day, Steel Curtain, Legion Of Boom,
In other words "Defense Wins Championships" Mahomes was held to Zero touch downs.

See: Trent Dilfer, Mark Rypien, Doug Williams,Brad Johnson, Phil Sims, Jeff Hosteller,Nick Foles last but not least Joe Flacco.

Like Duane Thomas said "If it's the ULTIMATE GAME, why do they play it again next year?"

Re: ARE WE SEEING THE NEW NFL...
 

Personally, I liked the move to go get “the guy we evaluate very highly” wrt Marcus Davenport. That being said, in hindsight, it clearly appears to have been a bad move. That one draft move is not, imho, descriptive of an overall failure in personnel decisions/evaluations.

Marcus "MINNEAPOLIS MIRACLE" WILLIAMS
THREE SPOT HENDRICKSON ever heard of Albert Haynesworth?

You can't lose playing this game: Pick a player the Saints "Could've" had at the same time they picked someone else. Watch both players careers then If the "Could've" Example: NICK FOLES has success!

Bash the Front Office: OH HOW YOU BASHED THE FRONT OFFICE FOR NOT PICKING HIM UP " You still want him now?

After all THAT'S THE "RIGHT WAY" RIGHT?

Re: ARE WE SEEING THE NEW NFL...
 

Agreed, Monday Morning QB’ing on whom “we could have got” is a recipe for disaster. But, I do believe it is fair to look at a player’s portfolio or body of work as a standalone evaluation. For example, in a cost benefit analysis, was the Davenport move a success, based on his body of work comparative to the cost it took to get him? I’d argue no, it wasn’t a successful move. I do agree however that going back and comparing player to player from previous draft’s is a nonsensical argument.
