All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

There were rumors of Kelly wanted Mariota badly last year. This bad?
We'll see what kind of career Mariota has. But if I were the Titans, I'd made that deal in a minute. Look at it this way - #2 pick this year; after I take the top of cream off the Eagles, they probably would be finished with 2-14 and I get the top 2 pick again next year.
Re: There were rumors of Kelly wanted Mariota badly last year. This bad?
Oof.
Mariota may have done well in Philly, but Tennessee would have reaped a bounty for it. Then again the Titans are flailing around and no telling if they could have used those picks well. I still think they should have taken the deal. Not sure Whisenhunt could have done much better anyway, but I'm not sure Mariota could have saved Chip Kelly the GM either.
Re: There were rumors of Kelly wanted Mariota badly last year. This bad?
looks like the Titian's made a mistake by not taking that trade, if true look what they would have gained and had a Bradford plus a extra 1st this this year which could have produced 1 of the top 3 QB's coming out. Something tells me that that trade offer is bogus.
If Mariota becomes a franchise QB that price would have been cheap.
100% agree. Im not too sure about him myself, but if you're in charge the org, have done your homework, and think hes your guy then no way is that deal worth not getting your franchise QB for the next decade.

cheap? Very few teams in the NFL would become a better team when trading away this much for 1 player, even if that player became a "franchise QB". This would have crippled the Eagles for years, unless he turned out to be a legendary player a la Manning, Brady, etc

I disagree. So you give up an extra first, a second, and a player on your defense? If this was us last year, then they’ll probably take Mario or Dareus. Are you telling me you wouldn’t give up a 1st, a second, and Mario or Dareus for a young QB you think could develop into a Rodgers, Luck, Russell Wilson, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Rivers, Cam Newton, etc…

I don't honestly know, its a tough call - lets just say its not "cheap" to give up a 1st rounder, a 2nd rounder and and your best defensive player plus more...they stated there could be more than one defensive player thrown in, so lets say they wanted another young DB, Gilmore or Darby.
1st rounder, 2nd rounder, Marcel Dareus plus one of those CB's for Mariota? No way would I do that, but maybe its bc I see Mariota as a less-than-elite QB in the future. His ceiling to me is around a Philip Rivers.
Re: There were rumors of Kelly wanted Mariota badly last year. This bad?
I would have taken 2 firsts, a second, Bradford, and Cox for the 1st overall pick last year and I think the Titans would have also. I don't believe this rumor.

I wouldn't. The key word is "could" in "could develop". Andrew Luck was about as certain a "franchise" QB as they come, and he's still about .500 outside his feeble division. "could" is not "will" and that's way too rare to mortgage so much on, imho.
