You're

Whom.

I had some explosive D last week. Had to switch up meds and now I'm fine.

Yeah, the fact that he dint run at his pro day where he had put on extra weight makes me dismiss it to some extent. I think that's something guys with concerns about weight do often. Put on some extra food weight but you don't want to run if that's what you did. the weight will slow you down. I think the standard is to get weighed at the combine with extra weight and then drop it and run at the pro day.

I heard it earlier today. The one thing I'll point to in it is his trying to rationalize the hits Daniels takes by saying he might be playing reckless because you can't afford to lose games is college and that'll be different int he NFL so maybe those plays will completely go away. That's laughable Again, I think Cooley does spectacular breakdowns. His opinion Is obviously a valuable one. I just haven't heard a lot on QBs from him and the little I did wasn't nearly as great. Mainly I remember the 21 draft where he gushed about Wilson. I remember at one point saying he was considering making someone, and I believe it was Mac, his QB2. Sheehan said "behind Lawrence?" and he said "No, behind Wilson" so, you know, that wasn't great. I don't remember him doing QBs last year or what he said about Herbert and Tua (Burrow was such a no-brainer, so I would expect eh knew that). 22 was a garbage draft for qbs. So hasn't been much to chew on with QBs. I know I've heard he nailed Josh Allen, but all these guys have a "he was right about ---" that people call back to. All that is to say, he's great at what he's done, just not seen enough to be 100% on him at QB. Still only a few people doing breakdowns have touched on Daniels' lack of instincts when it comes to taking hits. I've given up that most are going to zero in on what the real issue is there. Just hearing a bunch of them say "just slide more" as if that is a panacea is fairly comical.

One thing I've learned from all the stats and metrics being posted is that all these QBs are terrible, while simultaneously great.

Exactly. I agree that its silly at best to lie about it, but they all do.

Personally I still see more Herbert in his play right now. But the body with some normal continued weight room work will easily tune into a Josh type and his play could easily reach that level if not higher.

I don't view nuggets that like this as an end-all be-all or anything, but seems worth posting if I didn't miss it already in one of the....2209(!) pages of this thread (jesus, people)

Yeah, I seen that too.

I literally have zero idea what that story is. It feels like the verbal equivalent of a Rorschach test.

I have always thought most big mistakes that sports organizations make are of philosophy, so to speak. Most often I would say is over prioritizing the short-term. Trying too hard to win right now with teams that aren't contenders.

Yeah, i don't really give a damn who has what take. I feel comfortable in my take that I don't care. I was just pointing out how much I like Cooley's work, but think he's not so great on QBs in the little I've heard from him. You can go ahead and act like I had some agenda with that post. I couldn't care less.

I like Cooley's breakdowns, but the little I've heard form him on QBs make me put that in another category. Has there been another QB he loved more than Zach Wilson? Maybe Drew Lock? (bit of a joke there, he loved Lock but not that the way he gushed over Wilson)

Just because I'm below average doesn't mean I am not entitled to an opinion as well, you know!

I have never bought into the notion that you need to work for an NFL franchise to be able to judge football players. And frankly, the people who say (or strongly imply) it don't really either, because they would all gladly proclaim what an idiot a Matt Millen type is. Nor do I listen to anyone who tells me I have to accept what someone else does and implies I have no right to doubt them. I haven't signed up to be a cult yet. so no thanks.

Yeah. I don't live and die with my teams the way I did when I was younger anyway, but my interest in this team has been low for quite a while and not believing in what they are doing after finally getting rid of Dan would just keep on a very back burner for me.

If you want to look for that third heart, you're welcome to. I hae bad news on where it's hidden, though....

Actually, he said it was "that last sentence" but the last sentence was "The end" So I've been trying to decode how the sentence could possibly indicate they will pick Jayden Daniels. Wait...Jayden..... end...... d.e.n.= e.n.d.
