Pickett "had fun catching up" with Matt Rhule

Pickett would be a third rounder at best in the past. The smokescreen before the draft to fool dumb teams into picking Zach Wilson instead of a better Mac Jones or passing up on Patrick Mahomes to draft Mitch Trubisky OR trading Kobe Bryant to LA for Vlade? 

Some guys have better agents than others it seems and dumb teams like our Panthers are eating up the likes of Willis and fifth year wonder(after 4yrs of bad completion %) and haven't talked to the 

4186yrd 36td 8int. 70%completion for two consecutive year, 6'4" high IQ, great reader of defenses, taller version of completion % fanatic Drew Brees with a better arm. No! This QB draft isn't weak, just the front runners.

For the intelligent team its a STRONG QB draft.

Big 10 championship is not a "National Championship". 

Exactly.

They went 11-3 overall, lost the Rose Bowl to Oregon, and finished the season ranked #11.

Can't believe Tom O'Brien sent R-Will packing, was a horrible decision for the 'Pack and cost O'Brien his job.

“The summer before my senior year of college, I’m playing minor league baseball. I call my football coach at N.C. State and say, ‘Hey Coach, I’d like to come back for my senior year.’
 
“And he told me I wasn’t coming back. He said: ‘Listen son, you’re never going to play in the National Football League. You’re too small. There’s no chance. You got no shot, give it up.’
 
“I said, ‘So you’re telling me if I come back to N.C. State, I won’t see the field?’ He said, ‘No, son, you won’t see the field.’

I feel confident that the Patriots' running game, defense, and Belichick's coaching could have carried Wilson, Lawrence or Jones to being one-and-done in the playoffs.

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
