If we look at what we want to accomplish this offseason and season, do we need to be aware and cautious and is it affecting our thought process? What longer-term objectives get affected.
For example, does it make more sense or less sense to strive for 'franchise QB' if there's no 2020 season, or shortened to a drastic effect. Then if it is shortened, and you're not realistically expecting to contend, do you just play your rookie like the season is just another 'pre-season'? Also, if the season is canceled outright, then, you got almost no experience points or development our of your 2020 rookie QB so it's a total waste. Or, maybe you definitely take the kid and just hope that being 'in the program' for your team could still have some value.

I've heard and seen very little discussion on how these possibilities could affect the thought process.

From a league standpoint: If you Knew the season would be canceled, do you even have a draft? Why would you want to bring in new guys you have to pay if there's nothing to pay them for?
 
The league won't be cancelled. They're literally opening states back up as we speak so who in the world thinks there won't be a season? It doesn't start for 4 more months. Don't buy in to the fear mongering "we're all gonna die".

It would take Marshall law for thre NFL to cancel a full season.

If this thing goes exponential Because of these re-openings or '2nd-wave' in the late-summer, then everything like NFL gets cancelled.
Also, if you're sick, do you want the advice from your doctor or a politician?

If it happens it makes a Tua pick all the better. Extra time for him to get healthy that there’s no pressure from fans and media to get him on the field ready or not.

Huh? No chance, it’s business as usual. I believe Fauci when he says this virus will return but we’re not shutting down this country again. And as the numbers come in as far as the mortality rates we shouldn’t have shut it down to begin with. This was very catchy and easily transmitted no doubt, but this was really overblown thanks to the media once again. Now, if it does return as it was suggested, be ready for some empty stadiums and arena’s for periods at a time
 
Without a vaccine it is going to be nearly impossible to have a football season. The vaccine is not expected to be available for 12 to 18 months at the earliest. The states that are starting to open up before there are millions of more reliable tests are doing nothing but putting more lives at risk and will only extend the length of time the rest of us are having to deal with the mess we are in now. As they go back out and spread the virus before there are enough tests, it will on increase the amount of Covid19 cases.

I think if they do try and play football next season they will do it with no fans in the stadium and the season will probably be shortened and could even be started later than scheduled at this time. I imagine all the games that are scheduled out of the country will not be played and that would mean the Dolphins game that was suppose to be played in London will be played in Miami If there is a season.

If I had to guess I think the odds there will be an NFL or college football season is about 80% there will be no season but at least that gives them a 20% chance of playing in my estimation.
 
A lot of people in denial in here. Mortality rate may be higher than indicated. This season could be cancelled or "delayed" until 2021.

There have been less cases of Covid19 cases because people are staying home, wearing masks and gloves when they do have to go out and social distancing. If the majority of the people weren’t doing these
things there would be far more deaths in America today from this virus.
The vast majority of Americans understand this reality and that is why they are following the guidelines the medical experts have recommended.
Even though the number of Covid19 cases has decreased and the number of deaths have not been as high as they first estimated they might be is because people are taking precautions by remaining in their homes. The United States still has the highest numbers of Covid19 cases and more deaths from the virus than any other country in the world.
The media did NOT overblow the seriousness of this virus. Trump was the one who was downplaying how serious the virus was while people around him were warning him months ago about the virus. He claimed he never read the reports they were sending him Or heard any of these warnings. It makes you wonder what he actually does since he doesn’t seem to be listening to the people he hired to work for him. If not for Trump and his lackadaisical attitude regarding the dangers of the virus just two months ago, thousands of lives could have possibly been saved.

Come on brother. The mortality rates are drastically overblown and false. How can we know the truth about this thing when they are listing thousands of deaths as covid without one single test to see if they even had it? They're being coached to "assume" and list deaths as covid.
If they delay or cancel the season it will be bc they caved to the media hype, which I get that there is intense social pressure to do so.
 
Dumb post, but this

Dumb post, but this is not the place to get political
bottom line, no reason to shut an economy down for the amount of deaths we had, we need to worry about the flu every year and it kills thousands every year and yet we move on
 
Well, Todd McShay won't be doing the draft this weekend as he now has coronavirus so that's one way corona is going to affect the draft.

You need to turn off FOX FAKE NEWS and listen to the medical experts instead. Try telling all those Doctors and Nurses who have watched hundreds of Covid19 patients die in their hospitals that everything concerning this virus is overblown.
You obviously are one of those individuals who doesn’t have a clue.
