The joke will be on them if Jones turns out to be better than Lance, which is not a huge stretch considering how much better Jones was in college. Lance is a huge gamble. I'll admit he has intriguing talent, but so did many other QB prospects who flopped who were way more proven than Lance.

If Jones or Fields turns out better. It's very easy to see scenarios where they come out of this looking every bit as bad as the Bears did trading up for Trubisky. Time will tell. Maybe they're brilliant, maybe they're idiots.

Lance would have to be a big bust to not perform better than Jones, IMO.

Fields, hard to say. But if Fields is a big success, we will also look like idiots.

Yep. If Fields is a hit Darnold is gonna have to be as well for us not to come out of this off-season looking like morons.

Literally every GM after the draft says they got their guy. This isn't nor ever was a smoke screen, there was no one to fool and no one was going to be fooled regardless. This just reeks of people trying to come off as smarter than they actually are, maybe next time don't out smart yourself when it's 28-3 Kyle.

To a point...

If you're in the top two or three, chances are pretty good you really did get your guy.

Honestly, I think Fields made the most sense. Lance definitely has talent, but man... they bet BIG on a guy who just hasn't shown a whole lot with his arm and did all his running against guys who are going to be HS football coaches or accountants.

He made Chinn look bad.

When does his HS job start?

He would have beaten UNC NC State and Duke last year if they played.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
