  1. Don't laugh as the Daily Mail mock may do better than your trusted sports source https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-13336327/mock-draft-bears-commanders-patriots-giants-jets.html
  2. 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.
  3. Put your money where your keyboard is challenge: Predict the top 5 picks for bragging rights. 1. Bears - Caleb 2. Commanders - Daniels 3. Patriots - Maye 4. Giants Panic Trade up - JJ 5. Chargers - Marvin Harrison the Truth Jr. Tiebreaker Bonus: Vikings Pick: Nix
  4. 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.
  5. John "15 dump off to Skip Hicks in 1 game" Beck is back? He can't be much worse than Mariota. I was at that embarrassing loss to San Fran by the way.
  6. Daniels is the win now pick. Many like to win NOW. Interesting how Maye was consensus #2 now its much more a coin flip.
  7. Cant wait for the PR team to prop up Daniels by making him to stand next to Forbes in team photos /s
  8. 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.
  9. Got a record player? I'll bring Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds... on 45 of course. Just in case things get really bad.
  10. F yeah. I wonder what the math says. How frequently QBs take big hits on drop backs vs big hits taken on run/scrambles. Lets take injuries out since people get injured without being hit. The QB slide has certainly made it safer. Of course if they know how to slide.
  11. 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
  12. Fun fact: The QB that runs the most is most likely to take a big hit. Fun fact 2: QBs can get crushed standing like a statue in the pocket, just as hard.
  13. I will assume I am the only one fearing PTSD if the Giants end up with JJ and he turns out the best in the class.
  14. 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"
  15. No joke. RG3 is likely always going to tout anyone that remotely looked like him in college. AP - take Maye lol.
  16. I think its about time folks stop saying WE WILL TAKE and stop guessing and just share who you want or think we will take, and why. It's exhausting.
  17. I am thinking copy pasting could stave off carpal for somebody here. Is it draft day yet? Requisite gif.
  18. "Great" young (read: QB who looked great for 2 games) backups used to fetch a fortune from desperate GMs. I bet they still could but the fear of competition at the position slams that door shut.
  19. 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.
  20. Mariota is indeed a real zero If the shoe fits go get that goose egg. Hopefully thats how many TDs he has since we didnt need to use him.
