saX man

There’s general bad team dysfunction and then there’s this

Anderson definitely just had his last game in our uniform. How does a player get kicked off the field by his own team and not the refs? Haha

DJ is so checked out

I like how the official NFLrules analyst comes in and says it isn’t a foul and they’ve gone overboard lol

Honestly, high school kids would find this cringe. He really was this softy “hard-working” Boy Scout. I legit feel embarrassed for him and the franchise.

It’s shaping up to be miles better than last year.

I have to sober up a bit on Ward after the ugly showing. Not the best. Stock down a notch. Penix was absolutely on firree Young was tremendous Hooker (and the Vol receivers) looked quite good Levis didn’t really change his stock.

He was so cringe—could so clearly map out in the most cliche way what he WANTED to do but he didn’t really know HOW to do any of it lol

Still can't quite place it with Levis. He doesn't make a ton of mistakes but he really doesn't press or create anything. Could be the Kentucky offense honestly.

It takes being in position to take the guy you want. That's all that matters. You don't want to feel like a guy fell into your lap or you're settling. You're in position, and get the guy you want. Brady is an outlier so with that in mind, just look at the final 4 QBs in recent years...don't even know what this means, if anything shows coaching matters just as much, but it's a lot of high end R1 QBs: 2021: Mahomes (R1), Burrow (1 Overall), Stafford (1 Overall), Jimmy G (R2) 2020: Rodgers (R1), Brady, Allen (R1), Mahomes (R1) 2019: Tannehill (R1), Mahomes (R1), Rodgers (R1), Jimmy G (R2) 2018: Goff (1 Overall), Brees (R2), Brady, Mahomes (R1) 2017: Bortles (R1), Brady, Cousins (R4), Wentz/Foles (R1/2) 2016: Rodgers (R1), Ryan (R1), Ben (R1), Brady 2015: Palmer (R1), Cam (1 Overall), Peyton (1 Overall), Brady 2014: Luck (1 Overall), Brady, Rodgers (R1), Russ (R3) Can't wait until Brady retires...jeeez

He threw an absolute dime of a 30 yarder right at the perfect spot in the back of the endzone for his guy. He's having himself a night.

Penix has also been having himself a game.

Only problem is he's basically the same age as Darnold. If you hit with him, you're getting a solid 9-10 years, not some longer 15ish year career. But the upside is surely enticing. Young's feel for the game is unreal though. Now it's time to see Levis against a proper defense

Going to hold Hooker where I think he in the OP but just WOWWWWW at that game tonight. Levis time then Ward a bit later. We'll see how much of a gap there looks to be between Young and Levis. Young played absolutely brilliant tonight.

Arguably the greatest prospect in NBA draft history. The 2023 tankathon could be a thing of crazy epic proportions. Could see some wild movement early this season. Pacers, Spurs, Jazz, Hornets, Magic, Thunder, Houston...who will join the tank race? It's gon' be tough to be as bad as the Spurs or Pacers may be...but if Lamelo misses significant time...

At some point the peeps who knock his size have to see his wizardry. He finds some of the prettiest damn windows. He's got talent you don't see every year with moving around and finds such good placement.

Truth We basically have to send him somewhere that has an immediate need and space. He's not a long term get for any squad.

Yesssir. If it puts a team over the top, it can be worth it. A team isn't trading for let's say...a Joe Mixon type RB, but CMC? That puts a few teams in reaaaally good position--the Chiefs, Bills, Dolphins, Ravens...all who basically have an RB1 slot wide open for him to jump into. Hell, maybe he shows out against the LAR and we ship him to LA after XFL upsets them. Though as mentioned, listening does not equal shopping. We need some damn good value. Time to get these RB-needy AFC contenders get into a bidding war.

Hooker and Young are both looking good. Young's showed some pretty legit toughness with some hits taken.

Give him a guru like Shane Steichen, and there could be something there. And something we've never tried before in our history, being a promising young offensive HC w/NFL experience + QB1 His potential is tantalizing. The ceiling of him and Ward is what gets my jimmers jimmering the most.

Peyton spent time with him this week one-on-one. The closer I look--he's got the best release, mechanics, arm combo with a high baseline athleticism. His decision making is what needs work, but he legit checks every box you look for. Can EASILY see him the QB1 on many team boards given Young's size & Stroud's unknowns within the OSU system. Don't think guys like Hooker or Ward pass him in the eyes of the NFL scouting community.

Just curious--How do you see us keeping him? I'm a big Burns fan & acknowledge the "fug off with this bs" type responses but I'm genuinely curious to how we navigate this.

I retracted in the 3rd post after finding out about this guy & asked a mod to consider closure. All good.
