Na.... Ryan Mallett was way better than Josh Allen.

I work at Gardner-Webb and we played Wyoming this year.  GW is bad---no offense and a small, slow defense.  Talking to an assistant coach after the game--he said he was a man among boys, but his feet were all wrong many times. Overthrew a lot--sound familiar?

I asked him if he relates to Cam--he said he was not impressed with his running ability, so he has the worst of Cam's NFL abilities.  Imagine Cam if he could not run and the defense knew it.  However, Cam's footwork issues are related to the chance that he could run--Allen's are more mechanical--fixable.   FWIW, Wyoming won 27-0. 

I am going to go with Mason Rudolph emerging as the best QB in this draft IF he gets with a WCO.

I wouldn't mind Rudolph if Voth is right about the Panthers potentially looking for Newton's successor this year

True.  Although (and I may be wrong) I have not heard any more about Peppers and New England--of course, they keep their communications kinda quiet.

You really think Rudolph needs a WCO?

Mayock called him the best longballer in this year's draft. That makes me think Coryell.

Haha, Cam was a man among boys in the SEC and completed 10% more of his passes than JA and also almost double his y/a.  Cam also rushed for almost 1,500 yards, while Allen ran for 200.

Cam's Auburn stats are just silly to look over.  What a monster.

2 days before they can sign, I assume there will be a lot of maneuvering by agents trying to get their guys offers over the next day or so, tomorrow might be crazier than today

I think we keep Ryan for a few reasons but knowing that we are tied to his brother at LT this year we probably don't want to kill whatever motivation he has left.

Here is $20m, Kalil Bros., hope you stay motivated.  Not knocking you--this may be a part of it.  I  would rather play a rookie at LT and save $30m than to watch Matt get rich enough to buy hot babes while Cam limps into the blue tent.

Yeah, I'm not understanding this Allen hype at all. IMO, he he's the one sure-fire slam dunk bust in this draft. I think Lamar Jackson is right behind him, but I'd give Jackson the better odds of the two due to his ability to run and simply playing against higher level competition in college. Ultimately, I think Jackson needs to switch positions at the NFL level.

Jackson disagrees.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
