    Source: The #Patriots have agreed to terms with QB Jacoby Brissett, who gets $8M on a 1-year deal.

    This is old news now lol

    Why is it dated for tomorrow?

    Not sure if you’re just being purposefully obtuse, or you don’t watch much sports.

     

    He looks like a ****ing cornerback, he’s not 215. He’s not 210. He played close to 200, maybe 205. He’s not big, at all.

     

    Now we can argue about how weight doesn’t matter, which is cool, but there is no way he is adequate/average QB weight. If he was, he would have weighed in.

     

    The fact you don't know how much football I watch or other sports for that matter makes your comment a little obtuse. TV on at 1pm. TV off at 11:30 pm every Sunday also MNF and TNF! 

     

    Like I have said before, I don't speculate and it is very hard to just guess someone's weight by just looking at them. Bone density adds to the weight as well and can't be seen by the naked eye.

    Sure, you can play the incredulity game, but we watch football and we've seen plenty of guys who are in the 6'3 to 6'4 and 210lbs or so range. He doesn't look like one of those guys.

     

    And, again, if he actually was 210 as he's listed, there would have been zero reason for him to refuse to be weighed at the combine.

     

    Add those two and you have a pretty decent recipe for "Yeah the team definitely overstated his weight on the website" (which, again, pretty much every single college team does with their QBs)

     

    His true weight will come out. I will give you my 2 cents after that. I don't like to speculate.

     

    I hope his skills outweigh how much he weighs though. Sam Howell had defenders bouncing off him when he was running with the football and even flattened Diggs two years ago (the last game of the year) but that was not important to anyone it looks like. It is his skills that everyone talks about instead.

    Teddy Bridgewater was considered to be really skinny coming into the league. He was in between 6’2’’ and 6’3’’ and weighed in at like 208 on his pro day. After a year or 2 he had got his weight up to 215 and that was his playing weight, which is the same as Joe Burrows now.

     

    But if I’m not mistaken, Teddy suffered through injuries throughout his career, Burrow himself has had his season ended twice.

     

    But even bigger guys like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady missed time do to injury. Heck, Cousins is a big guy and just got hurt bad this last year.

     

    I hope they pick their guy on what they think they can do, rather than what they think they can do. Go with the highest ceiling guy, whoever they think it might be. There are good arguments for both guys, it’ll be interesting.

     

    Except Kirk is 35 now so age has caught up to him. He was not big but could still take a hit. Must be his tough bones :)

    Why does it not surprise me that you decided to take the exception to the rule and portray it as anything but an outlier? 

     

    Brady went from 211 to 225. So he put on about 14lbs. We also have no clue what span of time that was over. It could have been very slowly and steadily over 20 years. He also had a bigger overall frame than Daniels.

     

    I just remember scouts saying how skinny he was. All I could think of since you said this doesn't happen. You didn't set the year(s) parameters lol

    Daniels is the same height and likely at or a little under 200lbs right now. He has a very slight frame with narrow shoulders, hips, and legs. The idea that he's going to come in and just suddenly pack on 20-25lbs of muscle is idiotic and isn't going to happen.

     

    Online they have him listed at 210 lbs. I didn't see where he was listed at 200lbs or less.

    Please stop with this stuff. This. Doesn't. Happen.

     

    Every year there's some skinny player that everyone just says "Oh in the NFL he can put on another 15-20lbs and be fine." It doesn't work that way unless you want the guy to drink melted ice cream until he puts on 20lbs of pure fat.

     

    If you draft Daniels it has to be with the underlying assumption that he's not going to magically pack on 20lbs of muscle and he'll most likely be hovering around 200lbs or so. Then you take that into account when evaluating.

     

    Tom Brady would like to have a word with you...
