Just amazing that John Mara retained this bumbling GM/coach duo, then let them draft a potential QB of the future. So not only has he thrown away yet another season, but if Dart looks decent whenever Russ finally gets moved to the bench, Mara may feel compelled to keep this administration around to work with their new toy.
Sigh… That second Super Bowl win against the Pats was maybe the worst thing that could happen to that franchise long-term. It was at least a little fluky, but made Mara — who had recently begun actively participating in football operations after leaving Young and Accorsi alone — wildly overconfident in his abilities.
I advocated for this before the season but I’m out. These guys aren’t good. If they lucked into a legit QB, then good for the next guy.
I am not the biggest James Edward’s III fan but mostly agreed with his takes in the Q&A article posted above.
I disagree on who would most likely be traded…Kolek has to be the guy precisely because Dadiet has more value, not to mention he would be the more valuable depth piece. But nothing should be done until after preseason anyway, at which time Leon and Brown will have more answers.
I also think that Dadiet, Diawara, and Huk will all be valuable depth pieces beyond this season when major trades are back on the table, either to include in the trade or to have reasonable depth post-trade.
And I’m not making any rash judgments after three games but I’ve been conditioned to think everyone we draft is a bust so it would be nice to see Abdul Carter do something soon.
Yeah, I’d rather give away Kolek for nothing — hell, even attach a semi-second round pick (ideally with some protections) — then trade Dadiet just because you can get something back for him. He’s the exact kind of player we could use as some of the vets like Hart start aging out or getting traded.
That said, if the coaches and FO have been watching him for a year-plus and feel like the theory isn’t going to be a reality — or isn’t going to be a reality until he’s on his second contract — then maybe you just punt him as part of going all-in for this year.
Carter was the best edge rusher in college yet he’s being used as an Inside LB and pass rushing DT.

Yes, but I’ve seen enough of him to feel pretty strongly that he’s worth keeping. The game is still a bit too fast for him and his shot is still a bit variable, mostly due to inconsistencies in his form, but he is very skilled and has decent athleticism and excellent size. I would love to see him spotted in every 3-4 games.
The one caveat is in what Diawara shows. If he develops quickly and Dadiet stalls, that could make Dadiet on his larger deal more expendable. But I think there’s value in rostering these young wings, even in a win or bust season. Whereas at age 24, an undersized PG like Kolek would have to quickly become a TJ McConnell-like overachiever in training camp to justify having him on this roster.
