Ghost of

Later tonight, I'll be posting about BayouBrave.

I went back and watched more tape. Maye has an impressive (though not as good as Williams) ability to do more than just laser his throws. McCarthy does have an issue at times but I saw plenty of throws on tape, short and intermediate (and some lofted deep) that suggest the ability is there and has been demonstrated. The real franchise QB was the fanbase of contentious louts we met along the way

Nate Tice breaking down his thoughts on Drake Maye. Is shocked by everyone really turning on him (at least in media) and thinks he has all the tools. Makes several good points. Good point about his UCL tear. He was doing well, to the point where I'm confident the Niners beat the Eagles if they have him, he gets back to the SB after recovery. There are people here and elsewhere who have pushed this 'narrative' and 'bias' with Purdy, and I'm going to have to chime in and say the way people discuss him, there is definitely a bias at play. I do think being Mr. Irrelevant doesn't help him in the media, but there's more going on.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Remarkable how he and David Boston chose bodybuilding over the NFL.

This y'alls Franchise QB?

Caleb has way more arm talent, his arm is stronger and arm angles and off platform throws are better. Not sure what in the world would have changed that tape. When I see Daniels or my guy McCarthy, I don't see the same arm talent from the creativity in delivery perspective. Since passing ultimately comes down to completions, moving the offense, and scoring, I guess it remains to be seen in the NFL.

Reading Cooley's take on Maye and parts of it remind me of McCarthy. What I mean is that there's this sense I get that guys are saying Daniels is a fast processor and that everyone else in the top 4-5 is not (maybe they allow for Williams being a good processor.) But when I review tape, not just highlights but the all-throws/runs and then consider the metrics, I'm not getting it (not entirely.) Basically, everyone is inconsistent and will need work either on footwork or on processing to a certain area of the field.

I only keep receipts on people I know. As of now, I can find your comment on YouTube.

I will not stand for this erasure of the man who called Tom Brady and is resident QB expert. Me.

Most important thing I took from the jackets was that Penix looked like a football player and Daniels suit chest was definitely concave in nature. Very concerning.

Sorry as much as I loved Ryan as a player, and even at the beginning of his broadcast career he is very agenda driven now. I'll just leave it at that. It isn't that he's lying and I think JD is likely a nice guy but nice guys can still have character concerns compared to people who are less nice.

Well my question wasn't about whether Brady should have been better regarded (how did i get it right?) but if you had a chance at that kind of culture setting, smart, tough player do you grab him?

If you had a guy who was even 66.67 percent of Brady as culture setter, came from a healthy and excellent organizational culture, and was even 40 percent as successful as Brady, aren't you obligated to take that? And the guy is faster and more nimble and younger?

That NFL article mentioned that JJ took the S2 and did well. One coordinator said the rise isn't interviews or pro day but that coaches didn't get a chance to look at film until after the season. Scouts are looking at traits but not always looking like a coach would look at processing, leadership and command in a huddle. Not everything is good in it but I felt better about McCarthy from that section, mixed as it was as it went more into depth about strengths and criticisms.

It was like the McGinn article where the scout blamed mccarthy for a "bad pass" instead of the obvious tip from Dallas Turner.

Jay is the biggest football related reason I checked out entirely. Not even him as much as the fact that Dan totally went against his first few years and just kept incompetent people years past the point it was clear they should have been fired.

No one wants to talk about that piece from the nfl.com draft article?

JFC dude. Yeah the reason Jason Campbell didn't work out was the fans on a message board.

https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-nfl-draft-pro-execs-scouts-coaches-rank-and-evaluate-the-top-20-prospects-in-this-qb-class SocalSkins had it pegged from the beginning. This ya'lls franchise QB?! "At Arizona State, they couldn't get him out of there fast enough. It didn't matter if you talked to coaches, staff, teammates -- they were like, ‘Good riddance,' " a second AFC scout said. "You're pushing all your chips in on this guy. Obviously, Brian Kelly and those guys saw a different side of him. But when does the other side come out? When some real adversity strikes in the league and he's starting to get peppered and you've got people wanting to kick his ass, it'll be interesting"

Hamlet. Act 3, Scene 1.

At Michigan I've heard they called him Football Serpentor.

And what you might say with irony, I say with conviction: "What a piece of work is a McCarthy! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form, in moving, how express and admirable! In action, how like an angel! In apprehension, how like a god!"
