I can’t get over his weird throwing motion and skinniness. I just don’t know if he could hold up at the nfl level 

As we all should have learned with Rivers - as long as it's repeatable it doesn't matter.

Fields is the one with the throwing motion that worries me.

Watched him for what equates to three and a half seasons of college ball. Would not bank on him ever being consistent enough to be somebodies long term #2. 

I think he has a high ceiling think he will do excellent don't understand why everyone hates on him

He throws a good pass, but I think he was super inconsistent throughout his career. He would be a pretty big project with the hope that his weaknesses are coachable. Second seems too high, but some team will reach on him. Honestly I think we would be better off drafting Newman in the 4th/5th. He looked rusty in the Senior bowl, but was away from football for a year. Showed some flashes at Wake. High potential with lower risk (later rounds vs second).

Because he was a four year starter that barely got any better over the course of his college career. His potential is likely tapped out, and he wasn’t even a game-changer at the college level. He isn’t good.

In general I think taking a QB in the second round is close to the dumbest thing an NFL team can do these days. With the premium placed on the position and the value of having the fifth year option on a QB, anyone who gets passed up 32 times should give you serious pause. Who’s the best 2nd round QB drafted in the last ten years or so? Derek Carr? Andy Dalton? They are fine starters, but not exactly someone you’re thrilled to give 15-20% of your total cap space once their rookie deal is up. 

You can’t afford to come away with non-starters in the second round, so taking a QB prospect with warts is more often than not a bad move. If you have to add a guy, take someone Day 3 that is worth a flier and has some projectable traits. You can afford for that guy to suck or only be a backup.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
