2025 NFL offseason thread

Hadn't seen one started yet, so let's begin with a shocker.

 

Just saw this in a Yahoo story, and I love it:

It’s not entirely clear whether Sam Darnold is the league’s best bad quarterback or its worst good quarterback.

 

Kirk Cousins raises his hand. Brock Purdy says hey.

And I wouldn't take Aaron Rodgers over any of those guys.

 

Wait you're not comparing/equating Darnold to Purdy are you?

Purdy takes care of the ball better than Darnold and produces under pressure better (he twice led the 49ers to points to be in position to win in the SB).

 

You could probably even throw Jared Goff in that group too. He can play great for long stretches, but when he drops a turd, you're in trouble. Not unlike Mahomes.

 

Now Goff and Mahomes are comparable. You’re on a roll.

 

I think I'd like to have a pissed-off Aaron Rodgers with something to prove as my QB. I hope he ends up in Vegas. Better than a possibly "Post-midnight Cinderella" which Darnold may be, or a going through the motions to collect a check Cousins.

 

I think I would go a full season running an offense out of the Wildcat before I signed Aaron Rodgers.

 

Please no more Wildcat, might as well run the Veer.

What the Wildcat exposed was simply that the DCs were asleep because why would you keep two safeties 10 yds back with Tom Brady split out wide? Um maybe crowd the line of scrimmage or at least bring 8 in the box?

 

Wasn't suggesting the Wildcat was good or smart.

Just saying I'd rather do that than have the desiccated remains of Aaron Rodgers anywhere near my team.

 

I’d happily take Rodgers on a one-year deal with the Titans, mostly because it keeps them from wasting the top pick this year and sets them up nicely to draft a better one in 2026. But it would also assure Brian Callahan goes 2-and-que as a head coach, so they won’t do it.

 

The problem with Rodgers going to a bad team like Tennessee is that he willl use it as an opportunity to hijack the franchise to hire some of his friends. Vegas would be interesting, but Pete Carroll probably isn't putting up with his shit. If he was going that route, might a well sell himself to Pittsburgh and at least play with a fringe playoff team. Maybe Tomlin will let him throw 35 back shoulders a game.
