You and I have always seen pretty much eye  to eye and you're much more in tune to college players than I am.  

What's your take on Pickett?

He scares me (as they all do), Dave, but I see the potential to be good in him.  His mechanics are very good, he sees the field well, and he is a good athlete that can run if he needs to do so.  I am blinded by the propaganda that is out there about him, and the small hands bother me in the rain and cold--but he played outdoors in Pittsburgh.  Those who call him a "one hit wonder" are discounting the work he has obviously done to make the most of his abilities.  I am a buyer, considering the options.

Best about him:  Footwork and release

Concerns:  Hand size (because it matters a bit)

Yeah that's not happening. Not after former head coaches publicly outing offers from ownership for purposely losing.

We have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball.  It would be too obvious if we were tanking in 2022.  I hate seeing that because many of these guys only have a 3 or 4 year career window and they didn't work as hard as they did to go to a team that is tanking intentionally.

we could be doing nothing.  Let Darnold tank another year and take our pick of elite qbs in next years draft

Maybe Rhule has convinced Fitt and Morgan to see what Darnold can do with an improved line. I don't anticipate that will end well, but it could give the rook a couple of weeks to learn while Darnold proves he is who we thought he was.

We could still take a QB at 6 (or my preference, later in a trade down). QB room in 2022 is Darnold, PJ, and a rookie.

Kind of reminds me about all the "not athletic enough" conversations we had last year about Mac Jones last year.  

I'm still a Howell fan and think he is being highly underrated but I guess we'll see come the start of the season.

The person who can least afford to tank has final say on the roster.

I think Howell could be the best of the bunch when all is said and done.  He has many of the same skills.  I am not a good evaluator of QB talent.  Some of my highlights:

1. I laughed at KC when they drafted Mahommes.

2. I thought Hurney's visit to Oregon's pro day to watch Herbert was a smokescreen (since the only QB from Oregon who was ever worth a damn was Dan Fouts)

3.  I thought Josh Allen was a bust waiting to happen.

4. Back in the day, I could not decide between Ryan Leaf and Manning--I grew up a Colt fan.

So my eye for QB talent is abysmal.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
