Kirk Cousins must be the outlier then...lol

 

I would say coaches who are unable to get the right QB get fired. 

Coach-killer. 

Trez ****ing swatted that ****!!!!!!!

Too bad it ended in the loss.

Needed a higher % shot to win, but good game.

I can't remember a draft where there was so little consensus on QB rankings as this one. It's terrifying. 

Nah, better for us at #11.

Normally we'd have no chance landing the top QB in the draft outside the top 5.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Pittsburgh move up in the draft and target Malik Willis. Tomlin mentioned that he covets mobility in a QB the other day, Willis is that. He is actually a perfect fit for the Pittsburgh “way”. A team that likes to pin their identity on their running game and defense but still move the ball through the air when needed. 

I definitely feel like someone is going to trade up for Willis as he has the best athletic/playmaking ability and runs sub 4.40 which is ridiculous for a QB.

Or maybe Houston just takes him at #3. Mills looked decent but doesn't mean they don't want to upgrade if someone is there. 

On our squad, I dunno. I feel like he'd have to sit for a while and might not be the best NFL ready guy. Corrall/Pickett/Howell all have at least 3 years starting experience and I'm assuming played against tougher competition.

Source on this? I know he got hurt midway through but that's the norm for like 90% of the league. I don't remember hearing anything about him carrying an injury going into the season.

 

He did play a lot better as the year went on. I'm not sure why he was so confused the whole time, I can't imagine our D is that complex. Its football, not brain surgery.

Nothing 100% concrete but after he missed those games mid-season Ron admitted he was dealing with a knee issue during the offseason that flared up rather then a new injury.

But to the eye, he just didn't look right. Watch the Demarcus Robinson TD week 6 against KC before he missed weeks 7 and 8. Robinson put him on the ground with a swat. Looked embarrassing.

And if you read between the lines a but there was definitely a reason the Bengals let him walk. 

Jackson was playing hurt for the majority of the season.

Absolutely was not a scheme thing as he was horrid in both man and zone in the beginning of the year. 

Bengals let him walk for a reason.

That being said, he's our #1 CB if he's healthy and hopefully will have a bounceback year.

I'm not the draftnik, but I've seen plenty of people saying this is a bad year for QBs for most of the year and only changing it up as we approach draft time, the time when teams need fans to believe there's some immediate hope in the future and ratings need it.  It feels more like justification.  Like when people were convincing themselves Ryan Nassib would be a first round QB

Justify drafting anything besides a QB for this team.

We drafted the top defensive player in the draft, We have a D-Line of first round picks and then went LB.

With all those guys playing we had the worst defense in the league and couldn't stop anything. 

Draft a QB. 

Draft another one in 2023. 

Yea... fading backwards with a jump-throw is not how you play QB. 

PHI is a 2nd half team but might not matter.

Brady is laser focused. Every pass on that drive was lethal.

Anyone ever play Disco Elysium?  Please share your thoughts. 

Different, odd but awesome.

What other game can you play an alcoholic/addict detective that loves Disco?

Can't throw short of the end-zone on 4th and goal.

Good game. 

What a call. 

15 yard facemask? 

BOooooooooo 

@Monk4thaHALL still posting? 

One of the few out there that was really high on Herbert in 2020. 

Seeing lots of trade Payne/Sweat... 

Not that I disagree; especially if we're talking QB, but trading away players when their value is low isn't the best strategy. (generally you want the opposite) 

We could resign these guys for way cheaper or extend their 5th season where they'll be playing on contract years. 

Just a thought.

Comparison within a set of mechanics doesn't mean that I am saying Howell is either of those guys.

 

 

I didn't say Howell is some bust or a worse prospect then Pickett either. Just said he has a mechanical issue in the way he throws the ball. 

I have a feeling someone will trade up for Willis and we'll be picking between Pickett/Howell/Ridder. (chance Corrall slips in this draft too, he's also a bit small)

Are you drafting Howell over Pickett? I personally don't see much that elevates Howell over Pickett besides the hand-thing. Though Howell did play in his bowl-game vs Pickett sitting his out for draft status. 

18 minutes ago, KDawg said:

He does. I also urge you to go back and watch Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes, who often pat the ball. I just watched two separate highlight videos where they do it. It's not every time, of course. But this is overblown and rarely do you see a prospect NOT succeed because they pat the ball. They usually don't succeed because they aren't good enough. 

Let's not pretend Sam Howell is on these guys level as a prospect. Rodgers is from a different era but Mahomes had like 5000yd 50TD seasons in college.

I wasn't really looking at the rushing stats as much because I don't see him as that type of QB in the NFL but he is in same status as Willis as a rusher. Both QBs also lead the NCAA in sacks taken. (its not solely an offensive line thing as much as the offenses they run) 

If Howell were a bit bigger he'd be consensus top 2-3 easy. At his size, he'll be lumped with everyone else in the top 5.

What makes people believe Pickett is a better prospect than Howell?

I don't think that's the consensus yet. Howell just declared. On paper, Howell had a down year though. 

I can see some clear mechanical issues with Howell. He pats the ball before he throws it every time. He'll need to clean that up in the pros. 

Pickett doesn't have a traditional release either; he kinda flings the ball, but not sure if that's correctable. Think its just his style.

So I'm going to bring a name back into this. What about Kellen Mond? 

He's not even a backup but 3rd string on the Vikings. 

Pretty bad sign they started Sean Mannion over him. 

Huntley is a ERFA and I don't see why Baltimore would be dying to get rid of him. 

No doubt Baltimore would drive the price up with this QB market. 

Trevor Siemian is in. Hill got injured. 

Taysom Hill lighting up the Falcons so far.

49ers are out if the Saints win too.  (if they lose) 

Fromm. Wow.

What a scrub lol. 

1 score game again.

CHI still up 17-10 though VIkings have the ball. 

Still in the running for a better draft pick.

They’ll go after Gardner Minshew.  And I would love it. 

Pretty sure the Eagles aren't dying to trade us a QB. 

Welp.

There it is. Great play by McCain though. Haven't seen our backs jump many routes this season.

That was some noodle-arm **** from Heinicke on the 2pt.

Like to see some Kyle Allen now that the game is 2 scores.
