[quote=skinsfaninok;1273594]If he has tweets promoting riots then he’s done, unfortunately that’s the new world[/quote]

I mean if he tweeted supporting storming the Capitol, then yes I would be done with him.

Other than that, if his teammates don't give a fuck I don't either. Chuck the football like you did last night and I'm a happy man. Highly doubt he's the only MAGA supporter in the locker room. As long as he's Team WFT, idc.

Of course if last night was a one-hit wonder I would also not care in the slightest about moving on from him. I want long term stability at the position.

As it is he's earned the right to try for the starting job in camp. But I'd also bring in competition in the form of a grizzled vet or a young guy.

You can’t plug TH in there and expect to win , we just haven’t seen enough of him and he’s been a career backup.[/quote]


I've seen enough to draft everything BUT a qb in the first 4.rounds this off-season and draft players around him and roll the dice. Scared money don't make money.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

I have no problem with politics in sport or sport in politics. Neither operates in a vacuum regarding the other. Over here we have a government department and minister for sport (and arts, media etc.).

But I do have a problem when politics exerts undue influence on sport for it's own purpose (not that of a wider benefit to society).

In this case it's his personal political opinion, and while I disagree with his views, I respect his right to hold those views. It has no bearing on his ability to play and as said, if the locker room can tolerate his political stance who are we to judge?

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1273591]Trade for Stafford and sign Golladay. I'd put us in the top 8 or so in pre-season power rankings asap, without any other moves/picks we made.

Stafford is my non-drafted dream scenario.

Watson would be above him, but that's just not realistic at this time imo.[/quote]

I wouldn't go after Golladay unless we get rejected by the better options (like Robinson, Samuel etc.). For me Golladay has a habit of disappearing for stretches.

I'd be surprised if Robinson doesn't reach FA; the Bears have arguably a worse QB situation than us and if you're Robinson why would you not want to test FA and make your money while you can? Pus he'll want to go somewhere that he's not be the only standout receiver, and thus DT'd all the time. Put him opposite Scary and add a good slot (maybe Cam) and we get an instant upgrade in the passing attack, almost regardless of who is QB.

I'd also think Curtis Samuel reaches FA with the situation in Carolina. I'd also go with him over Golladay.

I'd add Corey Davis, Will Fuller and Chris Godwin to the list, but I'd be surprised if they reach FA (though maybe not Fuller given the new rumblings around Watson).

Maybe we should start a specific FA thread to go along with the draft thread?

Acquiring Robinson would free us up to take Patrick Surtain in the 1st round. Surtain is the shut down corner that would really add to our defense.

That seems odd to me. There's no pressing reason to release anyone at this point, two days after the season ended. Wonder what's up with that.

Gotta be more to the story than what we're hearing. He finished the year on IR, maybe Ron thought he wasn't dedicated to the rehab or he wasn't taking it seriously or something. No reason to cut a guy on locker-room clearing out day otherwise.

Likely that he's not responded to treatment and they can't see him recovering enough to be productive next season. Wondering if he got an injury settlement?

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

There was some chatter about him being in the doghouse for some reason early in the season and he only got to play when they had no other bodies available.... seemed to me Kaleke Hudson got more playing time in the second half upto the point where SDH got injured. It seemed odd at the time that they put him straight to IR when the injury was said to be minor and there were only 2 reg season games left..

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

We've already spent way too much time wondering about SDH. Honestly I forgot he was still on the team.

Cut the first day of the offseason is a message. Either you are all in or get the fuck out.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

It goes as follows (all deadlines subject to the traditional 4 p.m. EST time marker):

Feb. 23 - March 9: Franchise/Transition Player Designation Period
March 17: 2021 league year begins
April 5: Start of offseason workouts for teams with new head coaches
April 19: Start of offseason workouts for teams with incumbent coaches
April 23: Last day of restricted free agent signing period
April 28: Last day to match offer sheets for RFAs
April 29 - May 1: 2021 NFL Draft
[url]https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2021-nfl-offseason-league-releases-tentative-calendar-that-reveals-key-dates-to-follow-conclusion-of-2020/[/url]

Free agency "talks" can begin on march 15, 48 hours before the start of the new league year (and FA)

Curious on when our period to negotiate/sign Scherff begins and ends.

Do we tag anyone? Maybe transition tag Darby or Scherff but both are more likely not going to be.

----------------

RFA - Robert Foster and Danny Johnson

ERFA - Kyle Allen and Cam Sims (if we offer 1 yr min, they cant refuse .. very nice)

Heinicke is a RFA too.

We're not tagging Darby.

Hopefully Scherff signs a deal. I'm not sure when that negotiation can begin.

Interesting take on Kyle Smith from the Twitterverse:

“ Washington had a great offseason haul last year and it’s easy to give Kyle Smith all the credit. But I think Rivera and his coordinators have a good idea of which guys fit their system. May be the reason Rivera was reluctant to give Smith all the praise.”

Thoughts?!

Smith has hit it out of the ballpark every year he’s run the draft, find a way to make it work or you’ll see another team, possibly a rival snagging him and will be saying “what if”.

Idk what this means for Kyle Smith but it's obvious Ron wants someone older than Kyle with more experience.

I don't disagree with his line of thinking but am aware this means exposing Kyle to anybody who wants to hire him as GM.

The problem with scouting Mac Jones is that it's hard to evaluate him when he's basically surrounded by All-Pro's at every position. It's hard to tell how good he's gonna be because we're not sure if his play is being elevated by everybody else or if he's elevating everybody else's play.
