Oh absolutely. It's why I envy those teams who hit with their guys. It's just so hard to project. But unfortunately you just have to do your best and take a shot. And if it doesn't work cut your losses and try again.

The only thing I wish we could see this year is Belichick scheming up ST’s plays in a totally fresh league environment where nobody has any prior experience with these rules…he’d have found loopholes and schemed up big returns for sure. Somebody should be quietly paying him $5M to consult on ST’s schemes right now.

For sure its low low after the 1st. But still an interesting reminder of just how difficult it is to get it right in the 1st.

"No damage control! No damage control! That's not damage control! No wai!! It's all about publicity! All publicity is good publicity! No damage control! You're nuts if you think they're doing damage control! NO DAMAGE CONTROL TO SEE HERE!"

Daniels' publicist has stepped in to do some damage control lol

These takes crack me up because they always somehow "neglect" to mention the fantastically low success rate for QBs taken after the 1st round. Yes, it's a crapshoot. And you're more likely to miss than get a stud. But if you want a stud, chances are he's going to be in the 1st round.

Rich Eisen is convinced the pick is Daniels. Pretty definitively so

A Sobering must read for everyone in this thread no matter what QB we take..... https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-let-the-buyer-beware-when-drafting-a-quarterback-in-the-first-round-of-the-nfl-draft/

A middle of the road starter for a #1 overall pick is a bust IMO. If you pick a guy in the top 3 you're banking on a star, not a so-so starter. So while most of those guys may still be in the league in one form or another in a few years, none of them besides Burrow are stars or even franchise QBs. You could maybe make the case for Murray but he's only had one really good season and everything else was derailed by injuries. So if we pick Daniels or Maye at #2 and in 3-4 years they're maybe a top 15-20 starter, then that's a bust and hopefully we'll jettison them before having to pay big bucks for a middling QB.

Maye fans will get a chuckle out of this. It starts off as another rehash of stuff we've heard including Schefter's take on our group event. It gets interesting when McAfee starts wildly speculating that the reason Jayden's agent was so upset might be because at the Top Golf event Maye was consistently doing well whike Jayden was a disaster playing golf. I imagined Maye banging howitzer drives down the middle of the fairway while the other players ooohed and awwwwed. Jayden on the other hand as a first timer didn't even know how to hold the clubs. But the funniest part is McAfee does an impression of an eagle eyed Josh Harris staring down both of 'em not missing anything which only made Jayden more nervous. I can imagine Maye being an absolute superstar golfer while Jayden keeps missing the ball, slicing it, dribbling it for a measly 10 yards and just getting more and more frustrated after each swing. It's worth your three minutes. 😆 If it was anything like that I could actually understand Jayden being upset, but a leader would have laughed it off and carried on like nothing was wrong. Anyway the video is below. WARNING: Jayden fans that are sensitive to criticism may want to pass on this one... .

What a disaster Zion turned out to be. That's at least 2 seasons that team had a good chance to do some damage but the dude is like Mr Glass. Yes I know they won, but they aren't going anywhere.

that guy has been openly campaigning for a GM job for years… 😂

Stop with the fake BS already. Community notes already added to that post. https://x.com/smoothdunk/status/1781500996096528433?s=46

When I lived in Japan for 12-13 years just about every bar I ever went into had ONLY those things. I'd have gone home before swatting over one of those and they were dirty as hell too, for obvious reasons lol.

I just want one of them to find a good comp for the guy besides Lamar Lite, which he really isn't. Hey, maybe he's the next Steve Young with better speed, but nobody is saying that. To me he's just as risky a pick as Justin Fields or RG3, who I was fine with drafting with a single first rounder. Riddick can't be taken seriously. He's been more wrong on QBs than just about anyone that I've seen.

All the media guys are big mad today. Schefter’s fighting with McAfee, Breer is pissed about Vegas, Keim is salty as hell with people, and now Riddick tries to big boy this Twitter dude by pounding his chest about his knowledge of the “body of work” — and then conveniently providing one year’s worth of data out of a 5-year body of work. They are frustrated by this Daniels situation. They think it should be a done deal.

oh **** i totally forgot about that. I think he graduated from buckeyes… that michigan hate runs deep. thing is, i hate michigan too, but jj is special. when did logan set him straight? You gotta link for that? 👀

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I think this thread is the closest match I could find. Bill Belichick discusses how the new kickoff rules will lead to an emphasis on size over speed on special teams. Bill Belichick explains how new NFL kickoff rule will change which players will be on the field By Tyler Sullivan Apr 18, 2024•2 min read When the NFL kicks off the 2024 season, it's going to look drastically different. Earlier this offseason, owners approved a new kickoff rule for the upcoming year, which will feature up to 19 players lining up against one another from five yards apart. The kicking team will have 10 players lining up at the receiving team's 40-yard line, while at least seven players from the receiving team must have their foot on the 35-yard line. This creates massive intrigue for how various teams will look to deploy their personnel in this new formation. While he may not be lurking on the sidelines at the moment, Bill Belichick shared his thoughts on how this new change could impact who is actually on the field for kickoffs. "There will be more of an emphasis on size of players in the return game than speed," Belichick told the Pat McAfee Show, via Pro Football Talk. "You just need guys who can play at the point of attack, shed blocks, and defend their space because of the new alignment. So I think it will increase the size of the players that are on the field. And I do think that because everybody is spread across the field, if these returners, if they hit a little bit of space, they're gone." The receiving team can put two players back as returners in the "landing zone" and because most of the action will spark between the receiving team's 40 and 35-yard line, there's going to be plenty of opportunity for returners to break loose if they can find a lane. All this is an effort to make kickoffs a meaningful play again in the NFL because, as Belichick noted, "literally 90 percent of the kickoffs were going out of the end zone." The only thing Belichick did not like about the change was that it eliminated the ability to pull off a surprise onside kick. Given how much of a football savant Belichick is, it is a shame that he didn't come close to landing another head coaching gig following his parting of ways with the Patriots this offseason, as he'd likely be at the forefront of trying to find ways to best approach the new kickoff. In any event, it will be fascinating to see how the rest of the league decides to attack this rule change and who they put on the field to try and exploit it

These same kings who blew out the Warriors are getting their back blown out with no Zion. smh trash as warriors.
