Mr. Scot

How about judging him for taking a vacation while Joe Brady stayed behind working his ass off, then coming back from vacation and firing Brady?

Also...

Imagine being a Panthers fan happy about Rhule being gone only to learn he's taking over your favorite college team

Meanwhile...

I have no problem with anyone speculating, but Florio treats his speculation like reporting.

The Athletic confirmed that Nebraska had already offered him the job earlier this month, but he wasn't satisfied with the offer so they continued negotiating until he got what he wanted. Basically, Florio's read on the situation was total bullsh-t.

From the article in The Athletic... Rhule was offered the job earlier this month, sources previously told The Athletic, and then Nebraska came back to him this week with a stronger package.

Nixon, Cooper and Snow all make sense. So do Siravo, Lombardi and all the lower level assistants. If he somehow manages to steal someone valuable like Campen or Tabor I'm gonna be pissed beyond belief

I think that title belongs to Matt Rhule.

Draft whatever rookie they feel best about. I don't have a favorite rookie, but I'm tired of going the veteran project route.

To be fair, he's never had the resources a program like Nebraska offers either. I'll be curious to see how this plays out.

No denying we've had subpar play. And I'm still waiting to actually like somebody in this draft. There's just not anybody I have a high amount of faith in at this point. And picking somebody just to pick somebody isn't my thing.

The vast majority of NFL scouts are regional scouts. They scout certain teams or areas, but they don't necessarily talk to each other until not just the season, but also the Combine, workouts and pro days are over. Scout X might be able to tell you everything you need to know about Bryce Young but not know jack sh-t about CJ Stroud because that's not his job. Maybe he's heard a thing or two second hand, but he's not an expert. Once everything is complete, that's when the scouts and personnel people all get together and everyone gives their read and/or makes their case for (or sometimes against) the players they've scouted. Then as a group, they hash it out. That's how draft boards get built. And that's why expecting teams to have anything remotely resembling an idea of who they like best, second best, twelfth best or whatever at this time of year isn't realistic. On top of all that, we don't even know who our coach is yet, so how the hell can we have any idea what kind of players we're looking for?

How good is the Mustang really though? Think of it this way. If you've got one receiver who runs a 4.3 40 but only catches about 50% of his passes and another who might run a 4.6 to 4.7 but catches every single ball that's thrown to him, which one are you depending on with a game on the line? Likewise, if you have a field goal kicker who can kick the ball 70 yards but only makes around 50% of his field goals while another guy who can kick maybe 50 to 55 makes 80-90% of his, which one are you keeping? Just like receiving, kicking, punting, etc, quarterbacking is a skill. If you have that skill, lacking elite athleticism isn't going to stop you from being a winner. And if you don't have that skill, being the greatest athlete in the world isn't going to help you.

Sure they do

We're not that far along in the evaluation process yet. Most teams won't have anything even halfway resembling a draft board for months.

The one with TJ McCreight? Yeah, saw that.

So does Dan Snyder. (Matt Millen did too)

If we're trading the farm, I'd rather trade it for Drake Maye.

If you're talking about what actual NFL personnel people think about any of this year's draft prospects, at this point we don't know sh-t. And come April, we probably still won't. We'll have loads of knowledge about what media analysts think, but actual NFL teams tend not to let that information be made public.

Correct, but there's a decent sized segment of the fanbase for whom those physical characteristics are all they need to see. That's just not enough for me.

I realize since you're a Kentucky fan this might not apply to you, but here's the question I ask in general to fans of Levis. Is it really Levis that you want to draft or are you wanting to draft the next Josh Allen and you hope Levis is that guy?
