Sam Darnold..

Why do I keep thinking of Sam Donaldson.. I loved his reporting of the news but DAm..

How do I edit the topic?

You don’t, and we get to ridicule for it forever.
 

That’s just how the Internet works, man.

I realize that this is a panel of experts, but who decided that Mac Jones will not be a very good NFL QB?  I can name many with his skill set that have rings, mvps, and gold jackets.  77.4% completion, 42 TDs and 4 Ints, and 4500 yards in 13 games--the criticism?  He can't run and he had a good WR and good OL.

Then get him a good line.

Do not insult my intelligence by pretending to know squat.  You don't--nor do I.

And you title this, "The lesser of 2 evils" and give 5 options.  Nice.

I'm glad you felt the need to participate..lol

And I'm sorry if you needed to be so literal that you couldn't see I was just using the original saying as a way to explain the exercise...  The original saying isn't the lesser of 5 evils. 

All your novel opinion on MaC Jones is great and all but just go get a great Oline isn't a easy thing to do.. Just go get 2 great WR's a great TE and field a great defense as well right??

Reality at some point your QB should be able to cover for something.. Having a great Oline all the time for your QB to succeed isn't a realistic goal...

Need I list all the college QB's with video game stats that didn't make it in the NFL?

Mac Jones is not a top tier QB prospect. He is a low ceiling and relatively low floor guy. 

I wouldn't be against drafting him but, IMO, he's a 2nd round or later prospect. Taking him at 8 would be a fuging nightmare.

This is where people go off course.

None of these things bolded above are a skill set.  Those are statistics.

Skill set is things like ball velocity, arm strength, timing, anticipation, touch, accuracy, leadership, pocket presence, running, etc.

Jones has shown:  Touch, accuracy.  That's what we know of his skill set.  You know who else has those traits?  TB5.  Alex Smith.

Yes, many QB's with touch and accuracy have won rings.  But they also display many of the other traits I listed above.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
