I still have age and body style as concerns and J.D. did nothing to change that for me yesterday. J.J. is the youngest with at least equal passing ability he has moved closer to no.2 but I would take him with a small trade down if possible. Maye needs to reclaim his spot today at no.2 today its there for the taking.. I cant be the only one who finds this absurd 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we'd have to discuss the character issue implications of this. That would increase his stock even more in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llevron Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I kinda hope we draft Maye just so I don't have to see yall making posts about how weird Daniels drinks water or how his elbow is clearly an issue for the next 3 seasons or however long it takes for his body to give out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) 1 hour ago, skinsfan66 said: This looks too easy for Maye, show the big arm reported by many on here and seal the deal. Yes, because we all know arm strength and pro day performance is the most proven and reliable method for predicting NFL success. That's why JaMarcus "Best Pro Day In History" Russell is in the hall of fame. 🙂 Seriously, at this stage, after months of evaluating the film on each player, granular analysis of minute details, private investigation reports, and so on, far more important than a qbs pro day performance will be the personal face to face interviews and their white board performance. 42 minutes ago, Warhead36 said: I feel like Daniels's accuracy on a couple throws wasn't great yesterday. I saw receivers having to make catches in less than natural positions. Ball placement wasn't what I would wanna see from a scripted pro day. Ultimately I don't put much stock into it. Game tape matters more. But just an observation. "I feel like Daniels's accuracy on a couple throws wasn't great yesterday..." Honestly, I was also a bit underwhelmed with some of his apparently off target throws. After reading the live reports on the forum yesterday I think my expectations were through the roof . The actual performance was very good but not by any means spectacular. Which is fine on balance, I was just led to expect a bit more. What did impress and surprise me, was his actual arm talent. He had much more zip on his ball than I expected from viewing his game tape. He was also very relaxed and at ease and got along well with his teammates, which is important. Bottom line, he did what he needed to do. I expect Drake to check all the boxes and have a good pro day as well today. Then it's on to personal visits and from there a final discussion and decision.

I will personally be quoting So I Married an Axe Murder quite a bit. There are a lot of jokes about a big head on a skinny body with Mike Meyers playing the role of his dad in the movie making fun of his younger son.

Caleb’s dad wasn’t involved in a recruiting plot running afoul of NCAA rules and was not an active participant in skirting those rules for other recruits. Nor did Caleb’s dad’s actions cause multiple coaches to be fired. Jayden’s mom on the other hand is accused of all of those things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't give it an outsized role, but if I thought that it could become enough of a distraction so as to potentially affect the QB's development then I'd definitely pay attention to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 If Snyder were still the owner it'd be concerning. I don't think this current regime would allow anything like that to happen. Still, something to think about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this current regime would allow anything like that to happen. Still, something to think about. The current regime does not have control over her. Sure they can limit her access to the team and not give her preferred access etc. However, they can’t control what she says to the press. She has previously gone on record and blamed Jayden’s sacks on his o-line and blamed his WR for not getting open and catching balls. As soon as there is some adversity and things are going sideways, I guarantee you there will be articles from anonymous sources in Jayden’s camp claiming the team has too many holes for Jayden to succeed. There will be a cold proxy war through the media just like there was with RG3 and Jay. It’s inevitable. When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Maye shows a big arm today it will make a difference and leave an impression if he does? We know just about everything about all of them what they can do, what they need to work on. Just like J.D. and weight question. J.J. had not been asked to carry the team but he is the youngest. You here about feet and who Maye played against. He has a chance to show he fixed his feet problem, like weight for J.J. I am one among some of the size/style and age people who hold that against Daniels. He did not change anything yesterday for me found out he is a good person. It's just my opinion since we started talking QB's. I would have been alright with Howell and a trade down, that ship has sailed. It's Maye's turn to impress with the teams there for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I'm pretty sure everyone on these teams has watched lots of tape of Drake Maye. If they don't have an idea about his arm talent by now then watching his pro day probably isn't going to help them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodpecker Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 2 hours ago, Rex Tomb said: Def a red alert. The similarities to RG keep coming up. Maybe it’s no big deal but with such a close decision between the two, why take a chance on a possible diva parent when we can just take Drake Maye? There are nits to pick with the games of both of these guys, but off the field Drake hasn’t said or done a single thing to cause worry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
