YES.....Daniels is the next Randall Cunningham, the S.I dubbed "Ultimate Weapon" back in the day. All QB's get injured, he just has to play smart and the coaches need to enforce that with him.

We have and will continue to upgrade the O-line....this is not Ron's show anymore. Comparing Daniels to RGlll is as unfair. That's no shot at Maye either, whomever we take will have an improved O-line situation for sure.

Agreed. And it's gonna be very fun for us this year up to and after we pick a QB at #2. We have so many needs we can go best available in many cases. I'm also anxious to see how many times Peters trades up or back to get the guy he wants.

What if it's JJ?????

Why????

Hard to say til he shows it. I'm sure most QB's taken in the 1st round have high ceilings but how many don't come close to Derrick Carr's career? Did you know that Carr threw for 3900 yards with 25 TD's/8 picks with a 97.7 QB rating this past season? That's no slouch of a comp for Maye. Carr's career numbers are actually very good...40,000 passing yards, 242 TD passes to just 107 picks with a 92.3 QB rating. He just hasn't taken his teams all that far.

You're right, I don't think I worded it very well, what I meant to say is that I see a QB like Carr as Maye's ceiling in the NFL. Capable but not a franchise changing QB. Who knows, these kids are all a crapshoot? Gonna be a long 3 days til 8:00 Thursday night.

Great stuff, thanks for your synopsis. I think when I see Maye I think of Derrick Carr....capable of greatness but more capable of mediocrity. Has the size and arm but lacks in overall great, game changing QB play.

That's a pessimistic view but to each his own. We have Kingsbury now so we need to see what he can do....Murray hasn't been all bad in Arizona. I'm not a big Kingsbury fan but whoever this draft analyst was on the Sheehan show today was said the combo of Daniels/Kingsbury is gonna be insane. I'll go with that. Hail.

Kingsbury runs a spread offense according to the "expert" Sheehan had on today and he said that Daniels is gonna have lots of opps to breake a defenses heart by running. He basically said they're a match made in Heaven and that Kingsbury is gonna have tons of fun having a guy like Daniels to work around.

And McNabb.....don't forget McNabb, ugh.

For sure, it's just a comp in height, weight and athleticism.....Daniels will figure out how to protect himself once he figures out the speed of the league. It'll all depend on how smart he plays and protects himself.

We're not, those are your words, not mine, and Ben got beaten up throughout his career, go check out his injury chart, it's online. You missed my point which is that these thinner quicker guys have been that way their whole lives and have their own ways of surviving. OBTW, Randall Cunningham was a dynamic QB who led the highest scoring team in NFL history at one point (Minnesota, 1998). We'd be totally blessed to get a QB like him in this draft.

Daniels is Randall Cunningham, Maye is Ben Roethlisberger for arguments sake.....compare their career injuries. Ben got beaten up as any QB ever, possibly because of his size and immobility. Guys like Daniels are athletes and athletes adjust, especially with good coaching. Just saying that bigger doesn't necessarily mean healthier in the NFL.

Damn right. And Peters is supposed to be a GM who does his best work in the later rounds!!!!! We may pull 8 starters out of this draft alone.....

Lions and Jets are both going with new/revised uniforms this season......somebody please tell me we're at least working on some new pants?

Now I'm reading where NE is open to trading back so I'll bet that happens....need to fill more holes than just QB and must not be in love with Maye or Daniels.

It's simple really, if we know that NE is out on McCarthy and we want him, why not try to see if we can bait them into moving up one spot by bluffing that we want Daniels or Maye? It's just maximizing more out of having the #2 pick. I understand what you're saying, don't fool around and possibly lose who we want but that's what Peters would have to be sure would not happen. If you absolutely know that you're taking someone who NE will not then why not try an entice them into giving you another pick to move up one spot? But, to your point, if we're going Daniels or Maye it's more risky to fool around with dealing the pick.

I also hope Peters is trying to bait NE into moving up a spot if we know for sure they won't take our guy. Pick up another pick.

Per Sheehan, Daniels was the only prospect who got a limo ride from the airport to the complex? Pretty telling gesture if true.

Riggo ripped off a 60+ yard run to put us up by two TD's and we blew it. I almost cried. Little did we know what was coming next.....the hiring of Joseph Jackson Gibbs and a dynasty.

Courtland Sutton wants a new deal with more guaranteed money, no doubt Denver will be dealing him. I like Sutton and I don't think he'd cost more than a 5th round pick. Dude can get into the endzone. Denver was shopping him last year during the season from what I recall....

Picture Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Drew Brees, Joe Burrow, even Eli Manning and the way they all can/could decipher a defense at the line of scrimmage. Understanding what the QB is seeing from a defense is the true defining skill in becoming a very good NFL QB. Many prospects never figure this out, at least on their 1st contract, and end up being journeyman QB's for the rest of their careers. My question for the QB experts on this site: Which of the QB prospects is most likely to figure out how to read NFL defenses and have the skills to get the ball where it needs to go? Everything else is important but secondary to truly feeling calm and deciphering different defensive looks. This year I watched Jalen Hurts become totally helpless against defenses that blitzed him. He couldn't use his legs to escape it and couldn't get the ball to any of his receivers consistently at the end of the season. I also think his coaches let him down some but he clearly wasn't comfortable when being blitzed. If the answer to this question is Maye then I'm on board with him. If it's Daniels then I'm on board. If the answer is clearly McCarthy then I'll take him too. Hopefully the coaches/GM will figure this out and make the right choice by picking a QB who can control a game with his eyes and brain by figuring out what he's seeing and then executing. I guess this is really the billion dollar question when drafting a QB.

I can't believe this group of studs allowed 2 TD's this season???? Way to represent, love the jerseys and the socks!

I like how you think, but I'm hesitant to deal two picks for Aiyuk and then pay him unless he's the next Tyreek Hill which I doubt. We have big money committed to Terry and I just think we can grab a very good WR in the draft rather than going for Aiyuk. Just my opinion. If we could get him for just one of our picks then I may consider it but not for two picks.
