Our paperboy was busy playing school sports so his parents would deliver for him. One winter late at night we had an inch or so of snow, and his mother apparently slipped stepping off our one-step front patio. She broke her ankle, or so her lawyer said. He also said she laid there screaming in agony for 30 minutes, (strange, our bedroom window was about 12 feet away and we didn't hear a sound). In fact we had no idea this even happened until about 3 months later when we got a letter from her lawyer advising us we were being sued, and to contact our insurance company. My agent told me their lawyer was a known ambulance-chaser. They paid without questions, and I canceled my subscription. End of story.
Quote from: zephirus on Today at 10:00:39 AMIt's a really good question and there's a very high likelihood his fate has already been decided. Didn't we already play this game going into 2022? Is there any 1-year resume that washes out bad taste of 2023 from our mouths?
Schoen has shown some real prudence by not reaching for a new quarterback (or any position really). He didn't give up a big ransom to move up to 3. He didn't panic and take JJ McCarthy. He understands the implications contracts have on the cap and generally has the economics under control. Next off-season, there are no rules for him. Frankly it's sad that we'll have to wait until Year 3 of a GMs reign to see what he'll actually do when there are no handcuffs on him.

I was going to say "win games" but I think there's a scenario where he produces but the team doesn't win, and he still comes out looking favorably.
The winning thing isn't just a Daniel Jones problem. That problem existed before DJ arrived. The most you can say is he couldn't elevate them out of the dysfunction. Few QBs (if any) would've. You've got to be careful reading too much into that, given the overall state.
However - careers are short and struggle is real. As Perry Fewell told Justin Tuck once (after his shoulder injury) "you don't get these years back". First time in his career he's got a legit WR1. Good slot WR. He's set up to have success in the passing game. I myself have defended him many times pointing out the impossible nature of having a bad OL w/bad skill players.
If he fails to produce, there's no more wondering what if. He's got enough now.*
*Provided Nabers isn't a bust, of course.

Quote from: B1GBLUE on Today at 07:58:21 AMnot for nothing but i feel this is a big reason why we didnt reach for jj or penix. it would have literally been the same thing all over again, and taking a qb just to take one. i think caleb or maye are the only two we would have taken, had one of them fallen.
