Kinda odd. Rock Hill is the party who defaulted on their end of the deal.

Looking like the real championship game was against Duke.

I didn’t hear anything in there about favoring Willis.

Let’s not forget, the team with the most cap room always wins the Superb Owl.

Is this a quote from Rhule? Was this before, during, or after his drunk girl dance?

I liked Corral and then I started digging into Willis more. I’d give either a shot I guess knowing the chance of success is low.

The truffle shuffle!

Don’t expect Tepper to sent a different precedent. The NFL won’t let him pay for it himself even if he was willing to do it.

France, Spain, and Norway tried that. It didn’t do anything. They repealed them.

So the owner in Miami gets hit with allegations that he was tanking and now that team is making crazy moves….interesting.

I get it, but taking a QB this year is a huge gamble with a low chance of success. Im ok taking Pickles, but we need that #1 pick next year for Cam.

No way we give up next year’s first. It’s a good QB class and we’ll prob need the pick.

Kinda wonder if they’ve decided to go with Cam this season.

A ton of guys. I always think about Bradberry. Dude went to a no name college and was drafted far ahead of where he should have. Anyone else like him would have been drafted in the 5-6th round and bounced out of the league in a few years. Instead, he gets handed a starting job on day one on a good defense with intense 1:1 coaching from Wilks. He sucked at first but all that playing time added up and he eventually becomes the #1 corner for a minute with a huge contract.

Well, we have drafted OL in most of our recent drafts. Many of them just sucked.

True. That article was from last year.

There is a ton of survivorship bias in this discussion. It’s impossible to know who could have been amazing if they went to a different org. I know the panthers were just about to draft Russel Wilson to backup Cam but Seattle was just ahead of them in the draft. What would have happened in that scenario? Wilson would have gotten zero playing time and there is no way Rivera would have ever considered promoting him ahead of Cam. Wilson would probably not have developed at all. Impossible to know, but the data is clear. Rookies fail far less when they go to good teams.

Great analysis from last year on how important a good team is to a QBs development. https://www.theringer.com/platform/amp/nfl/2021/8/30/22647741/nfl-quarterbacks-nature-nurture-trevor-lawrence-zach-wilson-trey-lance-justin-fields Summary: “good” teams hit on quarterbacks almost two out of three times (64 percent), while “bad” teams hit on quarterbacks just one out of three times (32 percent). 2018: Josh Allen went to the Bills, who had made the playoffs the previous season. 2018: Lamar Jackson went to a Ravens team that had just gone 9-7. 2017: Patrick Mahomes went to a Chiefs team that had won 12 games with Alex Smith. 2017: Deshaun Watson went to the Texans, who had won their division two years in a row. 2016: Dak Prescott took over a Cowboys team with perhaps the league’s best roster (and definitelythe league’s best offensive line). 2012: Russell Wilson joined the Seahawks, who had one of the greatest defenses of all time. 2012: Andrew Luck landed on a Colts team that was awful in 2011 but made the playoffs with Manning in 2010. The last quarterback who was the primary force in turning around a bad situation early in their career was Cam Newton, who did so with the Panthers in 2011. Aside from him, just about every quarterback who’s been widely considered a “good” pick from the past 10 years went to a team that was building on some kind of preexisting success. There have been more than 50 quarterbacks drafted in the top 10 in the past 30 years. Only three have led their first teams to a Super Bowl win: Patrick Mahomes, and Peyton and Eli Manning.

You should’ve seen McAdoo.

Yeah, and that is against Liberty level competition.

Unlike the other two, Corral actually has some elite traits. Yes, he had 14 ints 2 years ago, but he got that down to 4-5 last year. He is small, and I know nothing about his ability to process quickly, leadership, etc but I like his toolset better than the other two. Willis is an obvious bust. He’s not ready to play, and we all know the low success rates of redshirting QBs to ‘develop’ them.

Dare to dream.
