This was a great read. Thanks for sharing!

Kliff Kingsbury is in New Orleans. I wonder if they've started official visits already...

Thats why I don't get this over the elbow. Do people think NFL teams don't already have all his medicals? Or that they don't do their due diligence on private visits and workouts which Daniels has been confirmed to have with this team?

LOL you don't like Daniels and thats fine but all this over helping recruits with some airline tickets? And blaming a kid just 1 year out of high school like it was some nefarious plot on his part? Again, it was clear there were zero issues, none at all, when he was at LSU with his mom or any other relative of his. Also he is still close to nearly everyone that was coaching at ASU - Herm Edwards, Antonio Pierce, Marvin Lewis, etc. Aiyuk and Rachaad White are his best friends.

Additional note: If anyone cares he talks about Penix and Nix at 1:10:00

QB School breaks down the 2024 QB Class. He gives his thoughts on: Maye at 18:00 Daniels at 29:00 Williams at 42:15 McCarthy at 55:00 (he likes McCarthy more than Maye it seems - just warning people now)

I'm sorry what would you like me to do with the bolded? People can think I'm wrong, that is totally within their right, just as I can think they are. I don't actually pay that close attention to who interacts with whom on here (nor do I care enough to pay attention that closely to be honest). As for the rest of it, nobody said early breakouts in college means nothing. Where was that said? In what post? I said the league puts more weight into the most recent season played than anything else and this is a "what have you done for me lately" league. Does that mean the first season of play doesn't count at all? Well lets hope not since Daniels also was touted everywhere for his rookie season at ASU. The point is we have seen several prospects fall and rise because of their final season of playing college ball - most recently with Howell and Burrow on the opposite end of the spectrum. What? The original discussion was about Fields vs Daniels in college. Why is what he has done in the NFL even relevant when they were being discussed as prospects?

I mean, thats fair and probably true but we don't need to rewrite history cause Mac Jones sucks now. Everyone was raving about his rookie season, even the much loved PFF folks - I can link articles upon articles touting how it was "better than Brady's and Rodgers rookie seasons!" The NFL did a full mini movie on his rookie season...I am not making up how much hype and praise he got around the league

Cool if you believe that. That has nothing to do with either point I posted.

1. Nobody ever said Mac Jones had an elite rookie season but lets not pretend league opinion wasn't that he had a very good rookie season. Mark Daniels: Patriots' Mac Jones is one of the best rookie quarterbacks of all-time https://www.providencejournal.com/story/sports/nfl/patriots/2022/01/03/new-england-patriots-mac-jones-one-of-the-best-rookie-quarterbacks-in-nfl-history/9074297002/ Mac Jones by the numbers: Patriots rookie quarterback on pace to rewrite record books in Year One https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/mac-jones-by-the-numbers-patriots-rookie-quarterback-on-pace-to-rewrite-record-books-in-year-one/ https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/01/07/how-mac-jones-rookie-success-affects-future-qb-draft-evaluations-daily-cover

What? These are two totally seperate subjects. 1. Justin Fields was not an elite runner in college to me. 2. The league as a whole cares a lot less about tape from the previous season than they do a prospect's most current tape. What is it that people find confusing here?

I don't understand why people don't see why teams care less about 2022. Mac Jones had a very good rookie year and took the Patriots to the playoffs and nobody cares about that now, just 2 years later. This is very much a "what have you done for me lately" league. Sam Howell had a great 2020 and was talked about everywhere before his final season as a surefire 1st round pick...then his final year happened and nobody cares about that tape from the year before. It was all about his most recent tape. Nobody cared about Burrow's tape besides his final season - there are a ton of examples.

Again. We disagree. I'm not calling anyone who never even rushed for 500 yards in a single season in college an elite runner in college. To each their own.

We disagree. I don't think he was an elite runner in college at all.
