We have the worst QB room in the NFL and people are still holding a grudge against Fields bc he was a discussed as an option? Strange place.

Holding a grudge against Fields? Don’t take it so personally bro. The irony that I’m highlighting is that one QB is the worst in the NFL and the other is a rookie sensation but statistically you’d have a tough time distinguishing one from the other. I’m making fun of y’all, not Fields. But you’ve proven my point.

You're only making fun of yourself. Sam has the worst passer rating of any of the non rookie starting quarterbacks this season. We don't have any room to talk even about Dalton. But go off.

You kinda hit the nail in the head here, you're just too dense to see it. Rookie. 11th year NFL vet. Not exactly an apples vs. apples comparison. You think the Jags are ready to throw in the towel on Lawrence because he struggled mightily for the majority of the season?

I will because I had to hear why I was an idiot for thinking Trubisky should have been brought in last off-season. Knowing what we know now and what each QB got paid and traded for, we were right to think it. Could not have done worse. Likely would have been better this year and still have draft capital and cap space.

7 of the Steelers' 9 wins this season came on game winning drives. That's unreal.

Panthers this year, despite the roster issues, would have been a playoff team with Tomlin. Some coaches know how to win, others get hired for 7 years and like 70 million by the Panthers.

Could have brought him in and still drafted a quarterback. Anything was better than Walker and Darnold.

Big Ben going to the Playoffs.

 

I wouldn't mind a Pittsburgh Cinderella story.

Only way they get a Cinderella story is if the NFL carries him to it like they did for Peyton. I don't see it happening, I think the NFL goes all in on getting the Patriots and Bucs, no matter how much fudgery it takes.

Texans rookie QB Davis Mills throws for 301 yards and 3 TD with no INT's in the final game.   Almost pulled off the victory in the second half by rallying his team for 25 points.  

Mills was a third round pick.  He could be their QB going forward.  

If only the Panthers had competent player scouting like that . . .

Dude has been so impressive this year. That team had no business winning any games this year. They found a gem.

from the Texans message board on Reddit:

 

"As a fan you have to feel good about moving forward, from just a player performance view. Mills looks like he has grown, defense was solid, Nico Collins could be a break out star next year. With picks and some off season additions the fan base can start finally get excited again"

 

At least the Texans fans have hope.  The Panthers just have soul-crushing incompetence.

      BREAKING: Panthers insider leaks pick #39

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      We've got over 200m, a 1st rounder, and a 3rd rd swing tackle/guard invested in in our oline right now and the shortest line to the QB is through a guy that is being moved to center coming off injury. Taking one of the top centers would be the most unPanther thing the Panthers could ever do.

      ALERT: Mike Garafalo, Panthers taking RB in 2nd round

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      from The Beast (Brugler) on Brooks STRENGTHS: Shifty athlete with outstanding run balance and vision … skillfully presses the hole and sets up defenders with subtle juke steps, forcing tacklers to dive  at ankles (credits Texas RB coach Tashard Choice for developing his elusiveness, especially at the second level) … instantly changes gaps (and frustrates linebackers)  with his explosive jump cuts … able to breeze through arm tackles with his initial acceleration through holes and in/out of his cuts … sticky hands as a receiver with  the body control and catch radius to pull in off-target throws … dangerous target in the flat with his ability to make the first man miss … blocks with the awareness  and toughness needed for pass pro … only one fumble in college … described as a “genuine” person by his teammates and as an “invaluable” leader by head coach  Steve Sarkisian; had such an impact that Sarkisian sent him on the field for the final snap (victory formation) of the 2023 Big 12 Championship Game (just weeks postACL surgery) … averaged north of 6.0 yards per carry in each of his three seasons in Austin.    WEAKNESSES: Tall, well-defined body type but leaner than ideal with inconsistent power and pad level … guilty of making too many moves in the backfi eld when the  read calls for him to get downhill in short yardage … shows patience on one play, not enough the next … bl ocking skill set is promising, but he prefers to slam his  shoulder into blitzers instead of setting up shop and using his hands … saw just 46 snaps on special teams … medical evaluation will be important after he suffered a  torn ACL in his right knee (November 2023), which required surgery and sidelined him for the remainder of the season and the draft process; also battled injury as a  sophomore and had bilateral hernia surgery the day after the bowl game (December 2022), which sidelined him for most of 2023 spring practices … only threequarters of a season’s worth of starting production.    SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Texas, Brooks emerged as the Longhorns’ go-to back in head coach Steve Sarkisian’s spread RPO offense, which utilizes both zone  and gap principles. After two years behind Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson, he put together an All-America-level season in 2023 prior to suffering a torn ACL  (ranked top five in the FBS in rushing at the time of his injury). Despite a wide gait and long legs, Brooks is a controlled, instinctive runner who forces missed tackles  with his subtle ability to set up defenders and string together moves with timely, sharp cuts. He can be inconsistent in short-yardage situations but offers third-down  value with his promise as a blocker and natural pass-catching traits. Overall, Brooks is a springy, balanced athlete with a feel for lane development and the elusive  traits to create his own yardage, both at the line of scrimmage and on the second level. Stylistically, he reminds me of Kenyan Drake, although Brooks has much  better vision and big-play potential (assuming he returns to his pre-injury form). GRADE: 2nd-3rd Round (No. 48 overall)
