Sounds like Jets' 2nd pick is open for business...?

Baker sweat preseason awards then looked worse the year after that then rebounded after a shaky start earlier this year to look good again and like a good fit for Stefanskis system. I remember that much fine, and seems like Wilson is similarly talented. I also remember Josh Allen being wildly talented but risky due to inaccuracy coming into the league and Fields is already more accurate and a great athlete himself. There's reason for optimism and these comparisons, while obviously great case outcomes and scenarios, are fair.

No, that's just being optimistic and seeing talent. Yall think believing a player is gonna be good is some sort of message board no no and that's boring as hell. No one is winning awards for being low expectations sports fans, it's literally a fun time activity

You can think a guy is going to be good without making the absurd claim that his floor is great.

Forget Allen, if we thought their floor was Baker, I don't think we would've been (and hell, maybe still are) hell-bent on trading for Watson. We would've been hell-bent on trading up in the draft from the get go.

Oh man, take it easy, message board guy

Also the bolded part might be you overrating Baker Mayfield, jury is still out on that guy and Watson is better than both so it makes sense a team looking for a qb keeps its options open. You just are reticent to call college players good bc it might not come true

Interesting comment from Brandon Tierney supported by former Saints GM Randy Mueller...

 

Darnold has moments of brilliance and moments of "wtf is he thinking" pretty much every single game. Darnold has talent but if I am being honest here I am not sure why he is getting this many chances. Gase sucks at developing talent for sure, but Darnold should be picking up things on his own. I had him as my QB1 that draft, so I still have faith, but good lord he needs to get better and fast.

      I'm gonna be a grandpa!  My 2 year old son sat on my lap Panther's inaugural season in Clemson.  Die hard fans ever since.  Now he's going to be a daddy and sharing the fan tradition with a custom made shirt.  Check out the little fella in the sonogram (look closely).

      Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

      By Basbear · Posted

      Watch out now...... I agree but many others disagree with this line of thinking.  I seen a recent summary too- Which would you rather have the best safety or the 8th best edge? Best safety maybe kyle hamilton, the 8th best edge is Maxx Crosby. Id take maxx even with Myles or TJ on the roster. Plus if you don't like Maxx as 8th best, Id take whoever the 8th best edge is over the Kyle.  Panthers need a starter level edge, the only realistic shot is using the 1st rounder. But if somehow a stud LT pulls out a gas mask and falls to 19, draft them if much higher ranked.  The funny deal is those teams drafting in the late portion of drafts don't need edge, QB, WR, or OT..... I wonder why?!??? hmmmmmmm.... plus it pays off for them, cause they do need OG, ILB, TE, safety..... and now they get a top level player to remain great....

      A pretty insane QB stat

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Wrong conclusion. FOs should look at this and say “What can I do to better set up my top pick to succeed?” Not say welp I guess I just shouldn’t draft the most talented player at the most important position. It’s like saying the Cavaliers shouldn’t have drafted Lebron because they did a poor job building around him and he didn’t start winning championships until he left. It’s silly. Should teams also look and say “wow look at all these super bowls won by QBs drafted in the 5th round, guess that’s the best round to draft a QB.” Nonsense.
