Well, I mean he has been the worst QB in the NFL in recent years...

Yeah I get it. I’m not thrilled about it, he is just nice insurance so we don’t get in some absurd bidding war. There is some potential there, and obviously a good amount of risk...

The sucky part is, IF this happens with SF (and I don't see how, logistically/cap-wise), that'd put GB at the #3 spot in the draft. GB has already invested a 1st on Jordan Love, so I doubt they go QB at #3, which means position player.

This *could* be bad news for the Panthers and their hope for Sewell/Slater/Horn

Side note: Rumor has it, Rodgers is complaining about the lack of WR help. It'd be funny if the Packers used the #3 pick on Chase...considering Rodgers is then gone.

I'm crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes and nose hairs in hope.

I'd cross my ears, nostrils and butt cheeks if I could.

Can we do something about this post?  Can we start a thread called "Draft day Therapy?"

I’m still trying to figure out why so many huddlers are taking this person so seriously.

Why are you so special?

you must be one of those with “sources”

Couple of things here...

1) History: Verge has correctly predicted things in the past. That includes stuff that wasn't common knowledge or already out there in the Twitterverse.

2) Corroboration: That tweet from Jonathan Jones just a few pages back? Yeah, Verge had that info hours ago (actually days ago if you wanna get technical).

Is Verge always right? No, but show me someone who is. Even established insiders like Rapoport and Schefter wind up with wrong info because that's just the nature of the beast. Things happen that make teams change their minds. Sometimes nothing happens but a team changes their mind anyway. And of course, there's the steady flow of bullsh-t from teams trying to throw other teams off their trail.

Bottom Line: As with anyone who has or claims to have inside sources, it's an individual choice whether to trust them or not.

For others, do what you think best.

Me? I choose to trust Verge.

I also make a pretty mean lasagna.

I said THEY must be sold on Darnold to trade back. I think they are crazy to think Darnold is the answer so IMO they should draft a falling QB (not Mac) if they are there at 8 for security. If they only QB left by 8 is Mac then draft BPA. 

So your answer for taking another QB is they are crazy in your opinion if they think Darnold is the guy? I'm sure explaining that to Tepper or the press as a solid reason for taking another QB instead of a tackle or whatever would go over well. "Well you see, what happened was there was this guy on this message board that thinks we're nuts..."

Why not take Jones if he is there and they need security for Darnold? Jones is a highly rated QB in this class.

      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.
