Mahomes has like a 8.2 RAS score. He is a very gifted athlete for the QB position.

That's what I mean. The idea that you almost 100% need to be of a certain height to succeed in the NFL is well understood, but that chart seemed to indicate that height of a prospect had literal zero impact on whether you got drafted early. That is weird.

Never would have thought height n weight would have less correlation to being a high QB draft pick than some of those athletic measurements. Or maybe that is artificially inflated as most top QBs are athletic and would probably have better scores on average even if they are not tall/big and that skews the numbers. There are absolutely prospects that suffer from a lack of height but that chart seems to push that problem far down the list.

His point woulda been mostly fine if the headline didn't butcher it. Physically, Maye does compare better to a Burrow than a Mac Jones. Loses some points for his reasoning on pulling Mac Jones only to follow it up w/ another guy of the same ilk tho. Shoots his reasoning in the foot, even if he is Patriots media and has a familiarity with Mac.

I'm tracking like 3 arguments at the same time and its great. Now watch me add fuel to fire on each one simultaneously. Stats under Pressure:

There are multiple fundraising arms for Biden and DNC. If you only look at the figures from the 2024 Biden and Trump presidential campaign committees then they have net 71M (Biden) and net 33M (Trump) Those figures do not include money raised by leadership PACs, super PACs or other associated fundraising or spending. When you add that stuff in, Biden spikes to over 150 M. PACs are not required to report until April, but Biden's fundraising is going so well they are unafraid to "show off" and tell us he is earning record amounts. The current totals also do not reflect the $1B pledge orgs have made to support Biden's campaign.

Not to slander or shame the dude but Adam Peters is a cartilage guy..... Allegedly

I'd make my boy da slide coach a very rich and happy man day 1. His existence would gain a new and singular purpose, hunting the most dangerous game of all.

Yup that's all true. Gotta be a good passer for the run stuff to really matter. Its encouraging that JD excelled as a passer against pressure. Hopefully he can do that in the NFL too.

Its cool and interesting. You get to see what the QB sees. Might help you get into their head and see why they make a given choice. Since JD has a lot of runs it shows the field situation when he decides to pull it. Some of those are just crazy amounts of green grass.

Most of the clips in this vid are from the "behind the QB" perspective. I have not seen this angle on a lot of these plays. Hits a lil' different.

Project... House w/ good bones... same diff. About what I came away with from my evaluation of the guy. When are LSUs and NCs ProDays?

Number 2 pick is gonna carry a cap hit of almost 7 Mil by himself this year, so we are gonna need a bit more space than normal to sign the rookie class. It won't be like when we drafted closer to the middle of the first and guy only cost 3.

I don't think he looks like a hobo like he did at the combine. Baby steps Caleb, baby steps. Was magic Johnson out there boxing out other teams sightlines?

Wha? Maye's film is car crash testing site. Maye is just as bad as JD at protecting himself while running. Man could try out for a circus trapeze act with his aerial tumbling display. He will very often willingly take on contact and multiple defenders for no reason. I will say its not as much of a problem for him at the NFL level as no one would project him to have as many carries as JD, but other than that...

That's not a hot take. Dem wings are bland as heck. Scrambling is moving around behind the line of scrimmage to buy time and Jayden does not do a lot of that. JD is better than Maye at sliding around inside the pocket and if it gets to the point that he has to bail he's running rather than scrambling. Maye has a much more proven ability to run around behind the LOS and buy time after breaking the pocket.

I can't explain the fear playing against the hyper mobile QBs put in me when playing video games. Haunted my dreams. lol

Its an X factor. If all you are is an X factor, your not much of anything. If you are good and can then stack an X factor on top, It takes u 2 the next lvl.

Fields was in the same area code as A. Richardson coming outta college as a rusher. He showed the aptitude to be an epic impact ball carrier, but did not have the production to back it, with career highs under 500 yards which aint exactly impressive for a dude w/ his skillset. He put that to rest in the NFL tho. Massive 1000+ yard season. Gotta respect him in terms of elite rushing ability right up there w/ the best. Trying to figure out where he fits is an interesting debate, but at the end of the day he is elite at it in today's NFL.

I assumed they were meeting w/ JJ so all of our staff could laugh in his face in person. Color me surprised

Its been covered. Here ya go: https://www.audacy.com/theteam980/sports/washington-commanders/kevin-sheehan-talks-jayden-daniels-nfl-draft-pressure-sack - Michigan's JJ McCarthy's average was 8.05 yards lost per sack - Williams' average was 7.82 yards lost per sack - Maye's average was 4.48 yarrds lost per sack - Daniels' average was 4.36 yards lost per sack

Pressure is pressure and it comes out in the wash. Its not like one guys Oline lets one guy thru while stonewalling everybody else but the other unit is so bad that they release 5 guys to the QB every play and accidentally teleport summon a 6th rusher from the stands to take a free shot at the QB. We don't have to pretend that Caleb's or Maye's Oline was sending multiple free rushers every play. The Big 3 were pretty objectively bad at the P2S rate stat in college. Very high likely-hood they will be bad at it in the NFL too. Its the nature of being a player that keeps plays alive. It is what it is.

P2S does not care about how often you are pressured. It cares about how often you are sacked when pressured. That could be 2 times a game or 20. If your referring to sack rate, I believe Jayden's was lower than Maye's last year, but that can obviously be massively aided by a good Oline
