Fred Jones

As I said previously, will have to wait and see how things play out. I also disagreed with the pick, and will point that out moving forward.

I am disappointed. Now, they have to prove to me that this is the correct pick.

So, What? Everybody is guessing, because they don't know, and you decided to jump on the bandwagon. Way to stand firm on your belief Pat.

I agree and disagree. Only so many plays to run in practice. You have a hard enough time giving your primary QB the time, much less fitting in time for your backup. That said, no reason not to bring in a UDFA to test and see. No reason to use draft captital

I still say that GMAP is making his decision today or latest tomorrow. He spent the weekend reviewing everything and getting input from the staff. I think AP and Newmark will sit down and make the call. Maybe DQ is in the room, but AP is making the final call. All this other influence talk is incorrect about coaches having input like Kliff or DQ. And, I agree with everyone that the media is just guessing.

What DQ said to his staff is that he wants them to produce the best information possible to give to GMAP so AP can make the decision. Kliff is just one of many providing input to Peters and Newmark - Nothing more or less. But, as you said, he is not making any decision on any player.

GMAP had a specific plan to bring the players in a group setting and see what happens. Daniels agent didn't agree with it and said so out loud. Obvisously, we don't know what JD said to his agent, but he had to say something that set off the agent to open his mouth. Schefter is not hearing this from the team so he has to be hearing it from the agent. I don't think it means anything other then the actual evaluation of JD during the group excercise. I like the that the team tried something new to shake things up. Do something to separate and evaluate. The next day were the individual interviews. Possible he also didn't do well in them, but that we do not know.

Listening to the press conference the two did not give away how they were leaning. But, I agree with Keim, they followed a process and stuck to that process including bringing all the players in together. Lance commented that he enjoyed it and it proved to have value. I like GMAP's comments on Harris. Supportive, gave what they needed, and just stayed out of the way and let them work. Reference the pick, it is who they think has the leadership qualities, the toughness, the work ethic and the skillset to be best and ability to see the field this year or next. No project player.

Good comment from Bullock.

I have to give GMAP a lot of credit. If you listen to the media talk: - They don't know and it bothers them - They try and try and try to quote sources but no one is talking - A number of media just don't like the idea of bringing in all four QB's at the same time. Who cares. GMAP has a plan and is executing that plan. - I firmly believe they have a lean and are in the confirmation phase - But, GMAP designed it so they would not make their final choice until say Monday or so. Obvisously, they will sit down over the weekend and review everything, talk to everyone and make a final decision. What I don't believe is the speculation that they just don't know or that their is derision within the organization. GMAP is making the pick. GMAP is getting everyone involded, including ownership, so as to have the most information possible to make the pick, and get buy in. Harris is a quiet guy that likes to know what the heck is going on in the team he knows. Not interfere, but be an informed boss. - The rampent speculation because GMAP made the decision to wait until say Monday to make it official is killing the media and many fans. GMAP is in control, knows what he is doing, and the media just can't admit that. - Just have to trust the process and the final decision. - It bothers some in the media that they brought four QB's in at the same time, balking the norm, to have them together. To interview them back-to-back. To see how they interact. To do the due deligence thing. To talk and get to know JJ and Penix (not going to draft them) because the opportunaty presents itself. Get intel because you never know what the future holds. GMAP is picking a QB with the #2 pick, but the speculation continues.

I don't understand the logic of trading with NE. If Maye is our guy, we are going to pick Maye with the #2 pick in the draft. If Daniels is our guy, we pick him. We are not going to trade the pick under the assumption that NE wants a particular player. I apologize, but not how it works. And yes, what the agent said is being blown up in this thread. But, with all these passionate fans that are starved for a franchise level QB to lead the team, can't blame anyone. Glad I am not a MOD to have to police it up.

That GM Peters - making thing difficult for a bunch of college quarterbacks that have done nothing in the NFL.

The Commanders did not tell any of the players that visited this week they were going to get drafted. I agree with the posters that said Daniels time here did not go as well as he perceived. He talked to his agent, and his agent is spouting off. GMAP wanted to differentiate and verify who he wants to pick. I would love to find out what they did and went through. Hints online that they met with various people in interviews. I wonder if say Harris and say a Magic were in their own interview? Players bounced around to interview locations and such. Speculation, but they had to meet with the offensive coaches and at least some front office personnel - make sense that it was separately. This is basically a set of job interviews to gather information. By doing them all in the same day - I think you can better compare the QB's instead of a week or two to talk to each QB separately.

Since everyone is throwning stats around and we have 8 days to the draft. A completely meaningless stat: 35 quarterbacks have won the heisman. Not counting Williams, Daniels and B. Young the hit rate in the NFL is 25%. If B. Young is a bust that drops to 24%. What does this mean, nothing. But, one could use it as an indicator based just on statistics.

How much did that affect Daniels? The light turned on his fifth year. Guy works hard - So, he was not working hard during Covid? This is college football. If the QB has talent he can transition between schools. I just don't see it with either Daniels or JJ. Why did Michigan protect JJ? They had a good running game and defense that kept them in games. JJ should have shined more than he did. Every time I watched him the last two years my eyes just didn't see a franchise QB. In 2-3 years we will find out who is right and who is wrong.
