In short, we'll be fuged for a few more years unless we fall backasswards into a good non-1st round rookie QB or another Delhomme out of free agency. That's why I want to hang onto those 1sts like they're gold. If Bryce isn't the guy they're gonna be high ones.

And what if Bryce regresses or stalls at super mid? I know everyone is excited about him playing better after the benching but the reality is that he was still very mid-level it's just that was a massive improvement from the dumpster fire he had been. I just can't rationalize trading away future 1sts before the QB issue is definitively answered.

Yeah, Parsons was in the Horn draft. Would I trade Horn and a 3rd for Parsons? Hell, I'd carry Jaycee Horn from Charlotte to Dallas piggyback style for that deal. LOL The concern with Parsons' draft projection was whether he was an off the ball LB or an edge rusher or was he a tweener? I was leery projecting him as an edge but it obviously worked out.

Would I trade DB and a 3rd for Parsons? Hell yeah. Is Parsons getting traded? Highly unlikely.

Josh Allen is the biggest positive shocker I can recall. I've never seen anyone develop as much as he has as a passer. Dude couldn't hit the broadside of a harn at Wyoming.

Can't recall anyone who has carried this much hype for so long based on name alone. Not being able to supplant Ewers is a big red flag IMO. Ewers was a good college QB, but I would expect a future #1 overall pick to send him to the bench, especially as a sophomore. Maybe not as a freshman but after a year to get his feet wet at the college level if he's anywhere near his hype level then not playing him over Ewers last year was a huge mistake.

I'm a firm hell no on trading any future 1sts until we're absolutely certain Bryce is the long-term answer. I don't see how anyone could be certain of that as of now.

I'd be surprised if teams weren't compiling everything they possibly could against opponents, especially early season opponents. Get a few games deep into the season and no one cares anymore but games one and two? Wouldn't surprise me a bit of teams weren't trying to find TC footage of those opponents

That's fine if you don't like college football. Cool. But you're being intellectually dishonest as hell here. That's my whole point. You wanted to go on a rant against college football so you're going to attribute all the things you want to rant about to me whether I've actually said them or not. Bizarre behavior but hey whatever

It wasn't "scrub time". That was my point. I think it may have been the only nationally televised game he played. They won 28-20. It was a competitive game. Lance completed 6 of 10 passes for 72 yards and had 30 carries for 181 yards. Hence why I was confused how this guy was being out forward as a top NFL QB prospect. Like what I just watched is not going to translate to the NFL, hence the Temu The Golden Calf of Bristol comment. You're just over and over trying to show horn on arguments and stances that haven't actually been out forward.

What about that game was "scrub time"? You just seem hell-bent to just go on rants about your evidently hatred of college football and attribute the things you would like to rant about to me. That's all. It's weird.

What? Have you fallen and hit your head, man? LOL

Glad to hear that we're gonna play the starters. Seems like the last few years we've been treating preseason like a SB contender just trying to protect our players not needing a lot of questions answered instead of the dumpster fire with more questions than answers that we have been.

I get all that but you're just spouting off against something no one is even saying.

So did Phillip Rivers

That was one of the concerns I had with Bryce's tape completely independent of the concerns about his physical tools. Watching a lot of his play those dudes were absolutely WIDE ASS OPEN.

I think a D1-AA program producing two highly drafted QBs within the last 15 years or so is pretty incredible. That's it, that's all. No one is trying to say any college team would beat any NFL team. Dafuq you talking about? LOL

He was one I didn't get the hype on at all. I remember watching that nationally televised game he had right before they shut their season down and was baffled. Like, this is just TEMU The Golden Calf of Bristol. I think a lot of the hype is because Carson Wentz had just come out of NDSU a few years prior which let's be real, for a program like North Dakota State to produce those two QBs is still pretty incredible.

This consensus that Arch is gonna be this surefire #1 overall prospect is pretty wild to be honest.

This guy?

He signed a one year deal with the Bengals today

Weird because it's basically a guy who just put up okay college numbers and is largely being drafted on his potential. We all know how that usually turns out...

Of course I swung into Lincoln Social on the way back from Huntersville to see a buddy picking some guitar and just got back home and the first half is basically over. LOL

Well, preseason anyway. Whatever. I'm starving for it. Let's see it! Hopefully Omarion Hampton runs wild then gets out of there healthy

Wasn't a big fan of Shough in the draft. The Saints are a sleeper contender for a top 3 pick.
