I have a feeling our staff thought Erving was good enough at LT. After we traded for Darnold Fitts was saying we can now draft BPA (implying our needs were somewhat met) If you are drafting in the top 10 you really don’t want a player with a higher risk. We did it last year with Brown and the year before with Burns and CMC several years ago. Lowest risk with a high reward. You have to hit on those players. Slater played G and RT at NW and didn’t play LT until his final year. There were also a few issues with his measurements when scouting. Horn looked and played like an elite CB against elite competition with an elite bloodline for several years in a row.

I think we were just more confident in Horn being elite vs Slater. Lower Risk/Still High Reward and he addressed one of our biggest issues last year. Getting off the field on 3rd down.

He may be a little immature (calling out the team that cut him, girl reporter comment, arguing with kids) but I never thought of Cam as dumb.

So if we drafted Slater our defense isn’t getting off the field on 3rd downs, we will have less sacks, and teams will just pass on our CB not named DJax all game. That’s harder to watch than quick passes IMO. Plus Slater was further from a sure thing than Horn if you ask me.

Erving played better than I thought he would. Hopefully Miller will be back and Paradis can play like he did in stretches last year. Elf will be our weakness until our staff brings in the young guns.

Did you know there are 5 major cultivar groups of cabbage? Savory, Red, Green, White, and Spring Greens.

He can be book smart and still an idiot. Eating the W, Yelling about grabbing women, crab legs, and other allegations tell me he is an idiot. Plus he plays for the Saints…

No one likes Big Ben here and he is a rapist. That doesn’t make Winston smart though. Your argument that he has to be smart by being a multi year starter at QB in the NFL has been dismissed by Bradshaw. So in summary Winston is dumb, Big Ben is a rapist, and Sean Peyton is a douche (just because).

2 week old account answers that question…

Was he not a multi year QB starter in the NFL?

Sean Peyton is one hell of a coach and probably would have made Rivers even better. I hate Peyton, but he is legit (except in the playoffs).

Rivers was solid, but pretty careless with turnovers. He was like a poor man's Brett Favre. Wilson is a lock for HoF, Rivers I don't think so...

He is in without another ring. Same goes for Rodgers.

He went from Brees to Russ to Rodgers.

Over the span of what 7 years? So just under 4.5 a year?

They are going to lean on CMC early until the offense gets churning on all cylinders. There was even an article posted where Rhule told Darnold to lean on CMC early this season. I expect it to ease up as the season goes and other players get worked into the offense more…

I thought if Darnold got the win you were gone? I swear you and one of the mods were talking about it in one of the threads…

The GB game got out of hand quickly and snowballed. I think we will have a chance to win at home IF we can get some pressure on Winston. Let’s see what Snow can dial up…

It was a great throw. Robby did have to slow down his stride which is no big deal. People claiming it was underthrown are probably referencing Robby slowing down. If he didn’t have his guy beat so bad that slowing down could have prevented a TD. However Darnold was under pressure and got the ball where it needed to be which led to a TD. Looks like a great throw to me.

The staff wants to treat him like a rookie and the play designs show that. IF we want him to fix his issues I think our staff wants to slow it down for him first (that’s where the check down/safe throws come in). I’ll take a few high passes over a pick all day. The red zone offense still needs some work, but it should get better with practice and reps.

That I would be happy with. I just don’t want to overpay. He definitely brings good energy to the defense as well.
