Guarantee it has to be an established legacy team. He'd never go to a small market team. Wonder who it'll be in 2 years?

The Rams.

Book it.
Nah, I can't see McVay purposefully tanking. I'd say a poverty team or one that has a track record of ruining QB's/going through them like water.

NY Giants, NY Jets are two teams I could EASILY see drafting him just off the top of my head.

Maybe Broncos depending on how Nix does these next 2 years. Maybe Raiders.

But can you see them trading a bunch of picks? They are known to throw caution to the wind when they decide they really like someone.
Yeah, I can definitely see that. I think they'd have to trade the whole farm though which could really set them back. Even then, I'm not sure the #1 drafting team would even do it

Cowboys, the name, the city, the money and will give him all he wants including a coach of he pushes it. Jerry is that desperate to win before he passes on to the big party bus.

I really don't think Jerry is at all desperate to win. Not at all. He cares most about the value of the franchise going up and up and up. He's just a carnival barker in that way. If he was desperate to win, CD Lamb would have been signed and in camp long ago. If he really was desperate to win he might have signed Derrick Henry to help out his backfield. If he was desperate to win he would have brought in BB to be his coach, but he was too cheap and didn't want to be on the hook for paying a coach who wasn't coaching the team.

Total fallacy that JJ is desperate to win.

Hes also a terrible gm so maybe he didn't do all what you said because he actually thinks Zeke is a good rb...that Mccarthy is a good coach...that it's Dak year to win...and that he knows what he's doing.

You'd think NFL GM's would learn that it's not worth tanking, but then again I see a lot of head scratching moves by front offices so

He has been trying to prove himself since Jimmy Johnson left. Now time is knocking on his door telling him his days are in countdown mode for that to happen.

We are getting way ahead of ourselves here. Arch Manning has only had 11 attempts at the NCAA level and is currently only a backup. He wouldn't be the first player to not live up to their families pedigree if he turns out to be just another guy. In fact, I'd argue it's more common than not.

On teams with a losing culture would tank games. The whole idea of tanking a game is why the have a losing culture

It is just not right to tank a game

I don't think Arch is like his uncle Eli, he will go wherever.
