  1. ECU has had some success in NFL Players. Earnest Byner, Terry Long, Jeff Blake, Robert Jones and Livell Joseph. Who knows maybe he becomes the next ECU player to make it.
  2. Daniel Jeremiah off NFL.com That QB Jones keeps coming up. I would not be surprised to see New England grab him when they pick. Mid-rounders who might interest us. Robert Hainsey, OL, Notre Dame Quinn Meinerz, interior O-lineman, Wisconsin-Whitewater. D'Ante Smith, OT, East Carolina https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-senior-bowl-daniel-jeremiah-s-top-10-nfl-draft-winners-from-week-of-practic
  3. That's not what I have read. I have read this guy is quite smart. I don't know enough about him one way or another but if he's willing to learn who knows how hi his ceiling.
  4. It's not a bad idea if we cannot get what we wanted. Fitterer has already said he likes to trade down for more picks. If we could get three picks in the top 50 I am sure we would add some serious talent to our team. It wouldn't be a bad idea. If we can get a QB at 8 so be it but I am not sure one will be there at 8.
  5. Yeah, I'm in agreement on that. Would hate to have to wait to get our first pick in the draft in the 3rd round.
  6. If it were just a typical trade I could see a huge cost but Watson has leverage and if he want to narrow the field down the cost will go down too. The Carolina's is where he played ball and is also from Atlanta so playing in Carolina he'll be close to home. What if he comes out and says he wants to go to Carolina and that's it. The Texans will have to deal with what is offered. While it won't be cheap, I don't think it will be as bad as many make it out to be. We might get away with 3 1st and that's it.
  7. Maybe Carolina, Houston and another team could work out a three way swap. I know it will be difficult but it's possible.
  8. That's absurd. Unless you are talking about Lawrence nothing is now or never. We need a QB, no doubt but to insist that we're doomed if we don't address it in the draft is crazy. We'll have an upgrade over TB next year. The question is will it be a Vet or a rookie.
  9. So you think Mike Mayock and John Gruden are going to take TB's and his contract plus a 2nd? Why not offer a 2nd round pick and be done with it. We played Oakland. They saw how bad TB was. No one is going to take TB off our hands. There isn't a team out there that is going to take Teddy Bridgewater off our hands.
  10. That's it. He's a scrub. There has never, EVER been a QB to throw back to back interceptions in practice. We should stay away from this guy as best as possible. (sarcasm) I don't know much about this guy but they say he has all the tools and is mobile. The biggest attribute I would lean on is he's very smart. If you have a guy that is smart it means he can learn from his mistakes. Every QB in this draft, outside of Lawrence, has question marks. If Newman were to fall to us in round 2 or possibly 3. It would be worth a shot. That said, if we were to draft Newman I do not see us getting rid of Bridgewater until 2022.
  11. We might not draft a QB in round one but I will guarantee that our QB room will have at least one new face to compete and start in front of TB.
  12. Really, you are going to take the Coastal game as your analysis? If anything you should be impressed. He was under pressure all game long. He hit his target and the receiver couldn't finish the deal. (we also won't mention how many dropped passes he had in that game.) Name me one QB that is 100% successful on making plays and I'll throw you the BS flag. What he did to get his team into position was clutch enough to say he'll do it in the NFL.
  13. No one... i repeat NO ONE is going to take TB off our hands. Everyone knows he is, at best, a backup QB. NO ONE is going to absorb his contract for us. If we sign anyone we'll have a 20 Mil per year back up QB.
  14. Just got this Jersey. That should answer your question. It was between Buns, CMC and Chinn. I chose Chinn because I love the way he flies around and makes plays.
  15. I said this a couple of days ago. Being he played at Clemson and is adored in SC. I could see where he might want to come back to the area he played college football.
  16. Burns and that's it. TJ Watt is done and they'll need a pass rusher. Burns will be a 10+ sack master for many years. Straight up. Disgruntled QB for a Rising Sack Master. Former 1st for a Former 1st. They also get 3 years remaining on his rookie contract and we have to absorb Watson's new deal.
  17. Miami will use the "we're not sure about Tua" trap to get a team to trade up and get draft capital. I've seen where they are committed to Tua and IMO it is only words on the street to get someone to trade up.
  18. I liked how he we would use every avenue to address the QB position. So many on this board think the only way to address it is through the draft. While getting a young QB to groom is our preferred direction, all avenues will be used to address it. Maybe we trade up for a QB, maybe one falls in our lap or maybe we have to take a veteran QB. I don't know I am just happy that we're not hell bent on the DRAFT ONLY.
  19. 6 of the 11 first QB taken have panned out, while 2 of 10 2nd pick (no 2nd pick in 2013) in the first round have panned out. Jones and Tua still questionable. So unless you have the first pick you are gambling on greatness far more than the first pick.
  20. Of the 4 QBs in this draft only 1 has surefire written all over him. Trading up to get one of the other 3 may not produce the results you are looking for. My point is, your demanding one of these first 4 QBs and it's a strong possibility than we may not be able to move up or down to get one. The Senior Bowl gives Rhule a chance to look at 2 QBs that many fall to the 2nd or 3rd or possibly the 4th round. It gives the coaches the opportunity to move these players up and down their draft board. If I couldn't get a QB in round one (Which I hope we do) I would have my eyes on a player that might be one of those under the radar players.
  21. The whole advantage of coaching the team is to get a good look at other players. If Newman for example shows he has the tools and the athleticism to play in this league why wouldn't you want to put him higher on your board if we aren't able to draft a QB early. Everyone wants to bitch and moan about getting a 1st round QB and they also bitch and moan about having TB at QB for another season. If you can't get that first round pick than plan B might be that player you coached in the Senior bowl. Well sometimes things don't work out like you want them too. If you select a QB you coached in the Senior Bowl in the 4th round and he turns out to be a gem. Everyone is happy, If not, we didn't waste too much draft capital on a QB. Yeah, I know, trade up for one. Got it, but what if they are asking too much or no one wants to trade. Because you want to trade doesn't mean anyone has to hear you. You have to be ready for any circumstance.
  22. Goodell is going to clear him to play. He wants his dream match up of Mahomes and Brady in the Super Bowl so he can gift wrap a 7th championship ring to Brady. Can't let the GOAT retire with a loss, that would be so uncommissioner of him.
