Hoping we don’t bring to many cowboys over, and instead pluck talent from around the league. I remember when Ron brought his guys in from Carolina and they called us the Commanthers. If you mix commanders and cowboys together you end up with stuff like Manboys or Cowman. It just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Thanks, I was doing my bun busters, it’s when I squeeze real tight then let it loose

Lack of separation doesn’t bother me as much. With a good qb all the receiver needs is a half a step on the defender. This guy can go up and get it and doesn’t mind running routes in the center of the field. I wouldn’t mind adding him, we need a big receiver. At worst he is a bust, at best, he is the next Brandon Marshall.

I agree completely, Both Jayden and Drake took lots of hits last year, Jayden’s are more memorable because of how brutal they looked, but both were willing to take on contact way too often when scrambling. Neither will be able to sustain an 17 game season taking the hits they did, but it will be even harder for Jayden. I was watching some Joe Milton tape yesterday, just because his cannon for an arm, his size, and his speed intrigue me. His accuracy and field vision, not so much. Believe it or not, he has a great baseball slide for as big and fast as he is. It’s crazy that some guys have such a hard time learning how to slide, most kids learn it in little league. In football every QB should have this mastered before even playing JV football, it’s the easiest way to protect yourself when scrambling. Jayden will need to perfect his baseball slide, teams in the NFL are not just going to let this skinny guy run all over them. They will be looking to punish him every chance they get.

He did look bigger than usual at the combine, but that could’ve been the baggy clothes he was wearing. It was hard to tell. Maybe he can get some butt implants, that’ll help him pass the eye test

I’m really intrigued by both Devin White and Jadaveon Clowney. Clowney is 31 but really had a resurgence last year, and he would probably be willing to sign a 1 or 2 year deal so that we don’t tie up to much cap to an aging player down the road. They both have top 5 overall draft pedigree, so you know the talent is there with them.

Yeah I guess you’re right there, but Rodgers weighs 225, he got hurt as well. Cam Newton is a big guy and he got hurt to. It’s such a crapshoot when it comes to QB injuries, most are just bad luck. Probably drinks a lot of milk.

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.

I agree with you, we should take Joe Milton on a late round flyer.

McCarthy out there calling his shot like Babe Ruth after that TCU loss.

It’s the time of year when every team is really quiet, and really focusing on keeping their thoughts in the war room. It’s really hard for these reporters to get actual stories and end up having to throw poop at the wall just to get the clicks and views these media markets need to pay the bills. Even Kiem, as great as he is, will have a hard time getting enough facts to report on to fulfill his obligations, and even he, must resort to more rumor/opinion stuff, in order to get the clicks and views to pay the bills. The sad part is, you can tell he doesn’t like to do it because he takes so much pride in his reporting. Point being, I wouldn’t trust any reporter, not even someone as factual, plugged in, and trustworthy as Kiem as gospel right now when it comes to what we may do in the draft. I don’t distrust his trustworthiness, it’s just that it’s lying season in the NFL, and with the competent people we have running the organization, leaks should and will be few and far between, if any at all. I do believe he will definitely have more facts to deliver closer to the draft, and will be extremely plugged in when it comes to free agency, and who we might be looking at.

The best part about the happy meals is that they come with toys, the bad part is that most of the time the toys suck

Maybe the reason we are never ready for the blue chip talent is because we never have the blue chip talent? I’d be all for signing Barkley, maybe a 3yr/30mil with an out after the 2nd year. You gotta believe the defense will improve, the coaching is already 100% better, If Ron was able to improve the D that Jack built, whit and Quinn should at the very least make it viable. The offense should improve as well, eb was bad, the coaching should be 100% better. The giants stink, Philly is on the decline, and we took half of Dallas coaching staff. If we hit on QB, and use the draft and cap to put the best talent around him as possible, I believe the division title can be had. If we can play good ball control football and keep games close, a weapon like him that has a chance to score from anywhere on the field, coming out of the backfield, would be an amazing weapon for us.

I really think Malik Washington is going to be a steal in the later rounds. He had amazing production last year. I wonder if a team that drafts him would be willing to let him return punts and kicks? He is good in space and has a ability to make space. His teammate Maliki fields reminds me of Garçon but I don’t think he declared. uva really had a good big possession guy/ home run hitter tandem this year.

I’d like to bring in Clowney on a 1 year deal, kind of like this one

I don’t suggest or think we will trade for him, but I’m not as sure that he is a bust. He might pleasantly surprise whatever team he lands on. It won’t be this team. More than likeley he flames out at his next stop and hangs around the league as a backup.

Yes I ageee, the d was bad, but those guys don’t have the physical tools he has. If he was as bad as you say, Chicago would’ve replaced him last year. He has all the ability in the world, height, strength, big arm, speed, elusiveness. This is why even with his low competition percentage, some team will have him as their starting QB this year. Having Moore is great but he is more of a downfield threat which requires a more difficult throw. What He desperately needs is a top tier pass catcher out of the backfield or a true safety net TE to succeed, someone that consistently gets him easy competitions. more than likely he needs both. The more probable outcome is it doesn’t get much better for him, and eventually he runs out of teams willing to pencil him as there starting QB, but I wouldn’t write him off as a bust just yet. He is still very young and has put enough good play on tape to warrant some hope, if that were not the case, we would’ve never have heard the Chicago faithful screaming “we want Fields” at was was most likely his final home game in Chicago.

I just can’t get that Thursday night football game out of my head, he shredded us, and most of it was with his arm. I know our D was bad, but still, he showed out that game, and really showed what he is capable of. His problem is inconsistency throwing the ball. If he can fix this, he can really break out, but that is a giant if, because he as yet to do so. He still is somewhat intriguing because of how physically gifted he is, and I’m sure that some OC out there believes he can fix him and make him a top half of the league guy.

In that regard yes, it’ll take a lot of work. im exited to see if he will be able to throw over the middle with the consistency and accuracy that he has with the throws he was asked to make at LSU. If it translates, then look out, he will be amazing.

He will definitely need to fix this issue, especially with these hybrid type backer/safeties in the league now that won’t have any problem spying him, at the very least they will be able to force angles to cut off the big run. Im not sure this is going to be an easy fix and it’s one of the reasons I’m not as high on Daniels as before. How he sees the field in a clean pocket compared to when moving is night and day. In a clean pocket, with time, he is the best in this group at finding the most open guy. It’s just odd that it doesn’t translate well on the move, he might not of really ever had to because of his speed, but he will at the next level, no doubt. Including high school, and college, he’s looking at 8 years of this habit that he has, that is not optimal for pro ball, that he will have to break to succeed.

I’ve seen that film review, that was a great play and his footwork was superb there because it was done intentionally. To many times with him though he will drift without the rush, seemingly unaware he is doing it and puts himself closer to the pass rushers than what he would’ve been. I think this will somewhat naturally fix itself as he learns the pro game and trusts his eyes more and more, he has the height to allow for maximum field vision. The coaches will also demand he trust his line more and this should help to, I don’t think he had any faith in his line, he threw off back foot a lot. Hopefully this will be an easy fix, and once it is, it will in turn fix his accuracy concerns as well. His footwork leads to him arming the ball sometimes instead of throwing it. He could have a lot worse to clean up, many do. he’s actually a pretty clean prospect. While you’d like to see guys get a year or so to clean these kind of things up, his talent and physical traits won’t allow that to happen, he has to much going for him to sit him a year. thats the difference between a guy like Maye and Howell. Maye just has to much going for him and will be expected to learn on the go.

He’s not looking to throw once he gets moved off his spot. And he is very risk averse. I don’t think the route tree helps him much either. Most of what they run are outside of the hashes. I think this might be designed in mind to open up the middle of the field to give him room to make some moves with his legs once he gets past the line of scrimmage on a well covered play. Especially since there aren’t many college linebackers fast enough to spy him. The more eligible receivers on the outside means more defenders on the outside, which limits escape ability to those parts of the field. While this does create space for him to make big plays with his legs, he has to first get into this open part of the field by going in between the tackles. If the receivers are covered well on these high low outside routes, he gets bottlenecked, with the fastest defenders close to the easiest places to get to, to avoid sacks. Add this to the fact that he doesn’t like to throw once moved off spot, and it’s a sack recipe waiting to happen.

I didn’t see his upside the same way you did, but I did figure he’d come in and be at least middle of the pack with room to grow into a top 5 guy. He did look to be breaking out after his second year, but he wasn’t able to follow that up, and actually regressed, but who knows how much the injury was a factor. Sometimes I think we fans have a lower cut off point on what is considered a “franchise qb” than the teams do. We want our “franchise qb” to be a top 5 guy every year. Pretty much every qb that earns a second, or third contract, or every qb that’s on a rookie contract that is pretty much a lock to get extended, is someone Id consider a “franchise qb”, and someone that I’d love to have here. Once these teams find a guy they think can get them to the playoffs more often than not, they usually lock them down. I think Trevor falls in this category.

Yeah and he went to LSU, and LSU QBs get injured easy. Look at what Chase Young did to Burrow. One big hit, and bam, done for the year. Im only kidding of course, but you are right, his slight build and willingness to take on contact, sometimes unwarranted, does increase his injury risk factor, but not so much so that it makes the choice easy. In my opinion, Jayden’s pressure to sack ratio would carry more weight as a negative against him. The choice will be whoever the team thinks is a better player, and better fit for the team. And it will be many factors that are included in the decision making. injury risk will be factored in, but not a deal breaker necessarily.

He played injured a lot this season. He probably isnt as good as he was projected to be but not by to much. He is still relatively young and can still get better. He has a few years before his body starts to degrade. he has shown he can lead a team to the playoffs in a much tougher conference than ours. If he was our qb, he’d be the best, not only in the division but in the entire conference. Just goes to show how stacked the AFC is with the top QBs. He is never going to be on Mahomes level, but will more than likely always be a top 15 guy, with some years better than others. He will keep his teams at the very minimum competing for the playoffs year in and year out, and, with enough breaks going his way, talent around him, and luck, he might even get a Super Bowl victory by the end of his career. He is a true, franchise qb, and I doubt you could offer enough draft capital to Jacksonville to pry him away from them.
