I wonder if the overpaid QB model will eventually change and find teams will only plan on using a QB for 5 years. Heck why plan for years 6-15 when they will likely bust anyways? Or, a team will grossly overpay after 5 years and the team will be limited by no cash for other positions, so whats the point of hoping for a 15 year QB? An argument for Jaylan Daniels. Win now not worry about 6 years from now.

Watch you be the only person that nails the draft correctly. It would be a huge curve call to AP but have to think that they full abort and take Caleb. I am sure they spent time looking at Caleb so they won't be completely taken aback but with no smoke saying Chicago won't take him, they'd still be caught off guard. Washington is on the clock as jersey makers go into full panic mode.

Joking aside talking about college any players on the juice seems like the elephant in the room here but I presume ALL here believe it happens albeit less so than the glory "hog" era that seemed to put it into overdrive. Maybe those LSU trainers cleaned up their act or Daniels didnt want to play along and risk his Heismann season. Who knows yeah his frame is slight sure but him adding 10 pounds won't eliminate much injury risk IMO anyways.

Yeah i was more speaking in generalities that QBs get injured in the pocket plenty - they don't brace themselves like when running. Sure its been addressed big time by eliminating knee injuries via low hits but a hand hitting a helmet on a follow through seems as common as an injury from a scramble. Admittedly, QBs no longer stand in the pocket and take hits to make throws like back in the day so pocket injury risk is minimized in that way. I miss the days of the QB becoming free game after INTs - need that youtube from that 80's. Old time hockey football for bored folks

Great idea. QBs fail and we blame them and not the OC OL etc... its all the QBs fault duh. For the amount time and effort put into drafting grooming and developing a QB, there is a severe lack of follow up on why expectations were not met. Not to mention, the amount of money involved in the sport. Football is this country's undisputed entertainment... for men... and pron aside perhaps. I remember saying YIKES when I heard that RG3 didnt know the route tree - right after we drafted him of course. That Haskins coach changed the entire offense to cater to him. ****ing great and sure enough both failed. There are many books that could be written that us football fans would pounce on. Lets all play name the failed DC QB: "I was just a deer in the headlights" "Best Preseason QB ever - Why I failed at the next level" "Throwing to Wide Open WRs in College can land you a Heisman" "800 Pages?" Bonus Question: "How I got a job at State Fromm"

I wish that OCs and their playbooks, OLs / supporting cast would be factored into how an NFL QB develops far more than it is. One of my all time favorite fails was our own Jason "light me a candle" Campbell. Big long slow delivery expected to run West Coast and had Al Saunders 800 page playbook dumped on his lap. Which he purged back to 400 pages IN YEAR 2. I really think a lot of OCs caused their QB to fail more than the QB did themselves. The QB deemed a bust and the OC gets a QB coach gig in his next stop to ruin the next kid. OCs never take any of the blame nor get it, ever. Say what we want about Ron but he seemed one of the first to truly cater his offense to his QBs strengths with Cam Newton.
