Dual threat QBs drafted in round 1 rarely bust and have the highest floors. Higher ceiling and longevity there’s more of an argument. 20 years from now over 60% of the QBs will run 4.4, so there’s still time to get in again while rest of the NFL trots out average athletes at QB. NFL has this wrong.

On TV, you're not afforded the luxury of being 60-40 or presenting multiple "ifs" and "buts." Instead, you're compelled to make assertive statements and stick to them. In person, Riddick would likely emphasize that nobody is a guaranteed success, highlighting the uncertainties of work ethic and adaptation to the NFL lifestyle. However, such nuanced perspectives might not resonate as effectively on television.

Skip is everything you said, but dude is a sports nut and extremely well researched—at least he was when I used to watch him and Stephen A together consistently for a few years.

It's frustrating how Samuel was underutilized this past season. I can't decide what's more disappointing – the limited use of Howell as a runner or the failure to involve Samuel more dynamically, whether in motion, in the backfield, or through direct snaps. There's so much potential to deploy him in various roles! Should’ve wore the dude out this year. Curious about whether the truth lies in teams of higher or lower quality retaining more players over time. I have to acknowledge that nerdy offensive coordinators transitioning to head coaches seem to gain an advantage by effectively leveraging their talent on game days. The traditional model appears to relinquish control, attempting to oversee everything. Just call the plays! Whatever… onward!

Will age well. Open to giving 2.5-3 years of guaranteed money. The per year stuff is whatever.

I actually think he’ll be just fine. Dude is maniacal about pretty much everything in life, just not on Tuesdays lol I see him being a potential coup for a franchise if he plays ball financially, which I think he and his agent will this time around.

100% concede Kirk separated himself from likes of Derek Carr or that level of QB. He still doesn’t score enough points or throw enough TDs to warrant big time dollars, but Kirk is a good pocket QB.

Great value with him entering after calling games on the defensive side. Hoping he positions himself to stay actively involved and continue calling plays on defense. Must leverage his expertise – the same expectation I'd have for a standout OC transitioning to head coach. hahahaha…. I’ve always said, him at 5% or so of the cap is okay with me. Rumors are Wilson will be had for $10-15 mil next season. Your boy Carr is next in line for a huge salary reduction.

Honestly, Quinn appears to be the kind of coach I initially expected Washington to have with Ron Rivera. I don't anticipate repeatedly hearing about patience and time from Quinn, but those are buzzwords I'll definitely be watching out for, lol. Call the plays on defense, Quinn. This is his superpower, Washington should benefit from this superpower.

What qualifies as not attractive to highly thought of GM with options?

Wouldn’t this logic apply to the GM search?

I'll keep saying it – he has to be the play-caller on defense come game day, or I'll be disappointed. No need for delegation or trying to build up a buddy's portfolio; lean into what makes you great and take full responsibility.

Does Steve Spagnuolo get enough credit for the Chiefs' last two Super Bowl appearances? The Chiefs offense has delivered average returns throughout the year. To your point, acknowledging the value of a great offensive mind is valid, but having a great defensive mind can be equally crucial. The emphasis should be on greatness, and Quinn has consistently delivered on the defensive side of the ball, helping teams break free from the clutches of mediocrity. The upside of going for a retread or an older dude is their financial stability and self-awareness, granting them an "F it" mentality to go all-in and pursue greatness.

Give him a listen, he has some good insight and breaks down film. Remove what he did or didn’t do in his career.

Logan’s going to be biased, but also have fantastic insight during Quinn’s tenure. This is it for me—I'm hoping he sticks with calling the defense. When I cheer for my team, I want the head coach delivering consistent returns with what earned him the job in the first place. For the young offensive-minded head coach, it's all about calling the plays. Call the plays! Or flip it around—offense, well, that's the easy part; defense, now that's the real challenge. Having a sharp defensive mind can be a game-changer and give us a crucial edge.

Might be a competitive edge if you secure one of the lone defensive minds that provides a chance against all the nerdy OCs and offensive head coaches. His defense recovered well and showed up under the bright lights in the AFC championship game. His throwing motion is intriguing, especially when considering his potential to consistently make the elementary throws that an OC frequently schemes. Unlike many elite dual-threat players with awkward or inconsistent throwing motions, Daniels seems to have a smoother approach, raising hopes for accuracy on basic throws. However, the true test of his processing abilities and adaptation will only be revealed in live game situations. He's already on track to elevate a team's run offense to a top-5 level, but if he can combine that with consistent accuracy on strategically designed throws, that adds an intriguing dimension and an elevated floor.

Uncover more layers, as there's much more to explore: - #4 scoring offense - Gus Edwards with 13 rushing TDs (considered an average RB for Baltimore) - #8 in time of possession - #4 in team rushing touchdowns - #1 in rushing yards per game Set aside personal bias, embrace the numbers, and let new perspectives unfold. You're welcome. He needs to improve self-protection, and it's frustrating that he lacks a baseball slide, a skill often mastered. Despite this, what makes him intriguing is his apparent good spatial awareness and attributes that enable him to avoid significant hits, especially along the sidelines. Absolutely, the allure of a high floor and immediate impact from a great to elite dual-threat QB is undeniable. The elite ones tend to avoid busts and offer significant returns, particularly during their rookie contracts. Whether they can win a SB like Russell Wilson or get to one like Kaepernick, Newton or Hurts is another story. Completely agree regarding Lamar's skill in avoiding hits; he's essentially a QB with RB-like skills and awareness. I'm fascinated by Daniels' throwing mechanics in comparison to other elite dual-threat players. I envision him thriving in a Ben Johnson-type offense, consistently making the kind of throws Goff has executed in recent seasons. Daniels appears capable of bringing instant rhythm to an offense, especially with scripted plays and fundamental passes that make up a substantial portion (50-70%) of throws in a game. Generally, the elite dual threat guys must provide rhythm through the run game, play action, and screen game. Your thoughts? Say it louder so the back can hear it. I also compared Lamar’s regular season winning to Peyton (post his rookie season). Peyton….51-29 Lamar…..58-19

The notion of "Super Bowl or bust" doesn't entirely capture your perspectives expressed over the last couple of seasons, but that's something for you to address. Relying on a Super Bowl as a crux weakens about 95% of debates to support your viewpoint. Disregarding an MVP is notable; it seems there are blinders on when it comes to evaluating Jackson.

SB winner lol Continue to move the goalposts while he likely secures his second MVP.

Your position on Lamar coming into the season was dumb. Wilson's superpower lies in his legs. The early career comparisons hold somemerit, considering that his legs were the primary factor contributing to his impact during the initial years of his rookie contract. Wilson possesses an elite deep ball, but he tends to be below average in most other aspects of throwing the football. The game plan remains consistent for both him (when Wilson was willing to run) and similar quarterbacks – keep them in the pocket and challenge them to throw from there. This scouting report has been a constant throughout Wilson's entire career. Dude is below average from the pocket, as is Jackson.

No, he’s below average and always has been below average in the pocket.

Russel Wilson would like a word. I assume the Ravens are content with the return on investment (ROI) with Jackson. Being economical in certain aspects with an MVP QB is par for the course. Having Jackson as your QB in one of the most competitive sports virtually guarantees a 70-75% win rate, and considering the myriad variables involved in securing a victory in the NFL that’s unreal. Hes the Peyton Manning of the regular season. Let’s see if the chips fall his way and his team can pull out a SB one of these years. Ravens got away from their true identity on offense and passed the ball too much. The play caller appeared to panic when hit the mouth by two early scores from the Chiefs offense. Zay Flowers fumbled at the goal line. Lamar could’ve been better.

Don't most great quarterbacks face challenges or get bogged down in the playoffs and fall short of winning Super Bowls? However, I want to emphasize that I don't align with the belief that a Super Bowl victory is the sole determinant of a quarterback's value from season to season.

This is a similar fate most great QBs face year in and year out. It’s not only reserved for the elite dual threat guys.

Greg Roman wins that game, just saying
