Silver lining, Olave. (1 Viewer)

I don't see it as that big of deal, the meat of what we gave up was a future 2nd and and two 3rds in order to use our 1st round pick a year early. It's not near the compensation given for Julio.

The meat? The appetizers, salad, and dessert still count.

I also thought another bright spot in the game was Roby. Imo one of his best games with us

Agreed.

W have no picks and passing on Hurts a couple of years ago looks like a bad decision. I don't even know if I trust this front office to draft a QB at this point.

They’re not very good at that it seems.

I still think the trade for a second 1st round pick in 2022 was rooted in Loomis knowing he could recoup the pick if (when) Coach Payton returns and nets us a pretty hefty compensation.

Agreed. We can hope.

The trade value will always be associated with him, win lose or draw.

It is a horrible way to evaluate though. You are right that it cant be helped, but it is still dumb.

I mean there are worse ways, some people evaluate careers by 3-5 plays that stand out (typically bad ones).

Olave has been good and not having our first round pick (top 10) will hurt in a QB rich draft.

Hoping we recoup the first for Sean. I have zero doubt he will be coaching somewhere next season.

I don't know that it is a horrible way to evaluate: you got one player when you could've gotten 5-6. Would any in that group be better than the one guy? Maybe not, but maybe too. Would the group have a bigger impact on the team than just the one guy?

I think those are valid questions.

In any case, what's done is done, and we will enjoy years and years of moot conversations on the topic

Hopefully we can get Thomas all the way back I feel he’s there but our qb has to do better getting to him

IMO Thomas has looked pretty stiff since being back. Definitely not 100%.
