Chances are we are drafting a rb. If we don't go Gurley in the 1st(cuz he's been drafted) I think these guys might be possibilities.

I'd love to have some prospect "vs" threads leading up to the draft.

I know we have some fans of both teams so I'd like to hear from you.

And....go

I thought Duke has been a stud the whole time he's been at Miami and he's gotten stronger as time went on.

He's fast. Don't know his combine numbers but don't care. He's good for a highlight a game with the d chasing him.

I can't really remember him passing catching much. But again QB play at The U not so much. He's a hard runner who could cut and go or bowl over.

From what I remember anyways. And I'm no scout either. I just liked what I saw.

As for Buck Allen...wasn't he on Saturday Night Live in the 80s? Kinda surprised he's in the draft. He's gotta be around 70 or so. But hey, good for him.

Just looked him up on Wikipedia. He's 84 years old. Couldn't find many stats on him.

Oh and he changed his name too. I guess he thought Buck Henry didn't sound like an NFL name. Who knew?

I heard he realized the nfl was a lifelong dream he's running out of time to fulfill. Couldn't compete at the combine because he was getting a pacemaker but has been really working hard with a personal trainer. No word on his 40 time, but some have said he's gotten the attention of a few scouts.

I would be surprised if he goes before the 6th round honestly, but good for him going for his passions at that age.

Yeah I was thinking a flyer in the 7th or snap him up as a UDFA before anyone else can.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
