Want to keep him, pay him like a HC.Assistant HC is an option.

Do whatever Jerrah did to keep Garrett aroundHow about making him the highest paid OC in football? Somewhere between 4-5 million.
Every time I switch from Xbox to switch controllers I have to look and yeah there's about 200 millisecond delay you can't get around. Depending on how they score, this delay could affect scores significantly.No idea. But based on my unscientific observations, it will definitely be slower because they are looking at the screen then glancing at the controller to react. If I had to speculate, based on the button you have to push to answer the question, it could easily be 1 to 2 seconds slower than someone familiar with the button layout or even the size of the controller.
They'll be back if Texans take a couple of losses.there will always be doubters of CJ…..they just haven’t been vocal lately
We'll lose Jerrod Johnson too.After we win the super bowl this year, Slowick is gone. But he's gonna miss what got him there.
Maybe, Maybe notWe'll lose Jerrod Johnson too.
That will make the choices for their replacements super interesting.
Stroud is working his azz off.I will say this. If there's any doubters out there still, I'd be willing to trade Lamar to you for Stroud.
Stroud is working his azz off.
He ain't regressing.
Jerrod will take our OC role when Slowik moves on. 49's and Texans have extra coaches, want to promote from within as much as possible. I love the strategyWe'll lose Jerrod Johnson too.

Hilarious turn this board has taken. This time last year there were great concerns that a rookie OC could manage a rookie QB guided by a rookie HC from the other side of the ball
When it's time for Stroud's 5th year option. I want to see if the notion that you trade your young QB and start with another QB on a rookie contract is still a thing on this board.Hilarious turn this board has taken.

Every 7 yrs you sould trade your QB and if you're smart like the Packers you draft your QB of the future a couple of yrs before your ready to move on from your starting QB.When it's time for Stroud's 5th year option.

When QB's get too expensive the odds of winning a championship go way down.The Packers had two QBs for 31 seasons. But yes, they always did draft QBs even if they never played them.

We will seeYou know, I wonder how much of that stat/odds are based on the Pats/Brady being dominant for two decades? In other words, Brady always adjusted his salary and they were just so good as a team, that it skews the data because no one else was consistently winning. I imagine that we will start seeing a change in the Brady-less NFL where everyone wants to get paid.
We already are. But so much of the cap is manipulated by pushing money into future years. Aaron Rodgers contract calls for a $63 million cap hit in 2026. And it's a voidable year where he's not even on the team. It's a different cap landscape that can't be related to what happened even 10 years ago.You know, I wonder how much of that stat/odds are based on the Pats/Brady being dominant for two decades?

We also dumped on the Cleveland Browns too. This must be recognized as well.Excellent last season, let's see if he can follow that up. We still got dumped badly in the playoffs and there is work to be done before we can become serious contenders.
We gives me most confidence is the HC.
No problem - just offering my opinion.Hey just responding to the topic question
The Packers drafted Rodgers when Favre was 34 years old. They drafted Love when Rodgers was 38 years old. Even the Chiefs drafted Mahomes when Alex Smith was 33 years old.Every 7 yrs you sould trade your QB and if you're smart like the Packers you draft your QB of the future a couple of yrs before your ready to move on from your starting QB.
Yes I would, depending on how much cap space he's taking up. Because the window will have closed and I would have drafted his replacement after yr 5, so I would already have his replacement lined up. This isn't about Stroud this is about the QB position and cap space in general. You do exactly what Caserio did with Derrick, trade your QB for a kings ransom and use those picks who are relatively cheap labor to keep your team a contender. You would think after the results of the Derrick trade more people would be on board with what I'm talking about. This goes the same with business, if employees stay for more than 10 yrs they generally are expensive and complacency sets in. This has been my general experience.The Packers drafted Rodgers when Favre was 34 years old. They drafted Love when Rodgers was 38 years old. Even the Chiefs drafted Mahomes when Alex Smith was 33 years old.
Stroud is only 22 years old. So, if he is what we expect him to be. You would trade him at 29 years old? This sure sounds like an unforced, headfirst dive into QB purgatory.
Drafting a QB every 3-4 years is a good thing. It is a far cry from changing your QB every 7 yearsYes I would, depending on how much cap space he's taking up.

Yep.Drafting a QB every 3-4 years is a good thing. It is a far cry from changing your QB every 7 years
^This only works if getting a top tier QB is certain. It's not like teams pull up there draft boards and go "Hmm, looks like it's time to get another one of those franchise QBs". QB is the least predictable of all the positions, and in order to get one you generally have to invest a top round pick (or get struck by lightning), start the QB, and give him 3-5 years to see if it's all coming together for him OR you have to start the process all over again. The fact that CJ showed up in year one is the outlier, and gives us the largest "rookie contract" period. But that's not a process you can bank on.Yes I would, depending on how much cap space he's taking up.

Just my philosophy.Drafting a QB every 3-4 years is a good thing. It is a far cry from changing your QB every 7 years
What you can bank on is not winning a championship when a QB starts to eat up too much cap space. There's a 7 yr window to win a championship before the QB gets expensive. This 7 yr window could be shorter if the QB/Agent want all of the cash up front. Difference between me and most here is I was happy the team team was forced to moved on from Derrick. When Stroud gets to expensive to win a championship I'll want to move on from him too.^This only works if getting a top tier QB is certain.

Look at the 6 QBs that were taken at the top of the draft. History tells us that 2 of the 6 will sign an extension with their same team, and if one of them is an all-pro it will be a lucky year.
Lol brother that’s why we’re only couch GM’s and owners. By his logic Andy should be getting ready to trade Mahomas. Who imo still hasn’t reached his highest potential. He’s one of the best in the business but he’s still has room to grow. Scary huhThe Packers drafted Rodgers when Favre was 34 years old. They drafted Love when Rodgers was 38 years old. Even the Chiefs drafted Mahomes when Alex Smith was 33 years old.

When his contract starts to take up too much of the cap then it's time to move on. The only reason the Chiefs have been able to remain competitive is that Mahomes and his agent gave the Chiefs a very team friendly deal. Mahomes and Brady are outliers that put winning above money.Lol brother that’s why we’re only couch GM’s and owners. By his logic Andy should be getting ready to trade Mahomas.

Mahomas has a net worth of $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He earned $29.45 millionfor the 2022 NFL season, according to Spotrac.
What did he make in the 1st 3 years of that contract?September 2023, the Kansas City Chiefs and Mahomes, agreed to a restructured contract after other high profile quarterbacks signed deals for higher annual value. The new deal was worth $210.6 million and it was for 2023-2026. This meant that the annual average value for Mahomes' contract was $52.65
Nothing team friendly about Mahomas’s contracts. But hey keep believing that.
Now you’re asking rhetorical questionsWhat did he make in the 1st 3 years of that contract?
You do know sometimes within the next calendar year Mahomes is going to get another deal? At least that's what Kirwin thinks.
I'm asking if his contract was structured so he wasn't eating up a bunch of the cap for the first 3-4 years of his new contract? If so, that would make a 7-8 yr window and that's with the best QB of his generation.Now you’re asking rhetorical questions
That's the hardest I've laughed on here in a long time. The Packers were drafting the replacement of franchise QBs who were thinking about retirement. They got extremely lucky that Rodgers' slid in the draft. Jordan Love had a very good season last year. Maybe they caught lightning in a bottle again.Every 7 yrs you sould trade your QB and if you're smart like the Packers you draft your QB of the future a couple of yrs before your ready to move on from your starting QB.

You can, however, get a pretty good handle on the likelihood of something happening. Fran Tarkington (6') went to 4 SBs, Russell Wilson (5'11") has been to 2, and Drew Brees (6') 1. Those are the shortest QBs to go to SBs that I can think of. None were as slightly built as Young is.I get the point you are trying to make with % of salary cap eaten up by a QB means the team has less talent around him. But in my opinion, that is using data to back into a position. In other words, correlation does not equal causation. This was the same argument with Bryce Young. No QB his size has ever won the Super Bowl so therefore guys his size cannot win the Super Bowl.
In reality, no one is making a moneyball level trade of a Mahomes level QB after 7 years exclusively because they exceed a % of the salary cap.
Where you getting that from?I love Stroud, but is he getting a tad overconfident?
I hope he is humble enough to realize everyone is gunning for him now so he better be on his toes...
Just from what he's been saying.Where you getting that from?
