You still seem to be a bit sensitive, but I’ll address… I used “hunch” because based on what I read, JD far and away out graded Maye, but as you stated, teams at times overvalue mechanics etc… meaning a team likely selects the wrong player by overly relying on analytics and metrics (your words) where they should have used more subjective reasoning, “hunch,” to pick a Mahommes or a Herbert. Also, I’m glad you appreciated my using EQ words, because AP and Quinn also repeatedly talked about how cool JD is, and the natural leader he is, etc.., contrasted by what I’ve read, that Maye seems a bit uptight or nervous at times, who knows whether that’s good or bad for Maye or if JD’s coolness is a mute point after he throws 2 picks… I hope they both are amazing young QBs and better men.

Of course, everyone makes mistakes, but ignoring the obvious trait weaknesses (footwork, release, accuracy, erratic tendency; demeanor, leadership, coolness, etc.) while using level of competition as a backdrop, to then select the other guy, like Maye (he’s not the first or last) increases risk substantially for a GM and head coach. And your only real justification for the choice is a hunch, hard to defend being wrong to you’re boss… However, if all my data and analysis prove to be wrong, although i followed my process, either my process is flawed, which initiates incorporating lessons learned, or just chalk it up to bad luck and try again. But at least I have a hill I’m willing to die on. As you say though, only time will tell…

Which is exactly why, since we ARE fans, we should mostly (unless obvious incompetence occurs), from a fans’ perspective, allow our highly paid NFL professionals to do their jobs, and trust they have done it thoroughly, translating into the decisions we saw on draft day. I find it rather amusing that some posters on this board are still so stubbornly locked into their stance on Maye, it’s done, move on…. I’m sure AP and Kingsbury saw the mechanics delta early in the process which made picking JD the no-brainer they said it was. So… GREAT! Our staff did job one, yay!, now on to job two… QB development. Still lots to do.

Those Navy boys… great stories… the only thing that makes me question my life choices at times…🫣🤫🤔

Regardless of whom you preferred, I’m glad we have a franchise QB and an organization / staff built to develop him the right way. Playbook installs for him and the offense without different OCs coming in every year. Him starting to develop relationships and chemistry with his receivers and everyone building together. So refreshing… Nice to have professionals running the show!🥹

Big man with the all the tools. His success will be up to himself and the coaching staff.

I’d pay good money to see you n that coned hat!? Hilarious!😃😅

It’s not a conspiracy guys. Cmon man!

Yay, we love Peters again! Right!?

Yep bedtime…

See you guys summoned the ninja 🥷. Let him be so we can have fun in peace.

You guys get funnier the more bourbon i sip…

1 BILLION Dollars!

Classic 😬

I’m with you brother, I want an elite oline too. But the team has to be built the right way. We have 5 picks tomorrow, and a GM who has the pedigree to find guys to play. You have to let him do his job. GM is more than a title and a parking spot, he took the job, now execute. Find the day 2 / 3 starters, not burn a second and third for a tackle at 25 who may be there at 36. We hired an “elite” coaching staff for player development too. That’s the process guys. That’s the way the championship orgs do it. Can’t skip steps, and I don’t want them to. The fun starts tomorrow into Saturday, that’s where I expect Peters to cut his teeth.

Fans will fan, folks want the team complete and competing for a Super Bowl next year. Not going to happen, we’re still going to suck because our roster is 2 years away at least. Need every pick we have to build out the roster, no shortcuts…

What the hell dude, you’re tracking the draft via Wikileaks…?🤣

Nah he suffered a stroke during the bear hug from that mammoth Tackle…yikes.

You guys watch ESPN, 🤣😂😅🥲

Such a great feeling to see the draft room with Daniel Snyder NOT in it! 🥹☺️😁

With you on the trade up K-Dawg, honestly i don’t want to trade up at all. I look at the wealth of picks and think Peters could really rebuild our roster with those picks, not give em away for a late first round tackle who may not be better than what we currently have. I say let the draft come to us and stockpile talent. TBD.

Oh I still get my daily fix, got to keep up with the news, but the constant belittling, arguing, and name calling makes my head hurt. I eavesdrop a little, call people idiots in my mind as to not provoke the Jumbo ninja 🥷, and I figure once Thursday happens, all will settle down, and intellectualism will return. Then I can be an undisciplined idiot again too!🤓

Dude, I sense your sarcasm, it’s why I stopped posting weeks ago. This place has turned into nonsense, just arguing the same tired points over and over. I’m waiting to re-engage in a couple of weeks after the draft weekend meltdown and folks put down the pitchforks down…

By the draft???? some have given up and prefer to trade down for Penix. By draft night I expect folks to start taking shots of Jäegermeister with one eye closed…
