Been a fav for 24 years, missed maybe a couple games, been a member here since inception with different usernames that got lost in new site conversions and password losses etc

…if Rhule is kept after another 5 win season I can’t do it anymore at least not set aside time to watch it live, it’ll be recorded.

I always thought I was a diehard fan and all, but maybe I’m not, but also, maybe Tepper is just that bad he is driving away legit fans.

Certainly isn’t creating new ones that aren’t masochists like tha jet fan who came over. Probably our only addition in 5 years.

 

That's the huddle in a nutshell, we're holding on, hoping for a miracle. 

Maybe the wizard gives him a brain or he sells.

Neither is likely though.

I like Kelley as much as the next guy but I’m not I’d say he’s more accurate. I do like his percentages but a lot of that is scheme/game situations. Still anything above 70% is 🍆 

He's a goal line threat he's got like 38 rushing TDs and 840 rushing yrds. He's not Cam Newton fast but he can still run it with that big body. He's hitting em' in the hands down field too so that always translates.

Small school but he should really be getting more attention as a prospect. He's very intriguing.

Totally agree. I would definitely take him in the 6th or 7th, even if we did take a QB earlier

I think there's a reason why he bailed on Auburn.

i guess some could have said the same thing about Cam leaving Florida. was clear that either one wasn't really going to get a chance at their original school. Cam bailed for a small college then bailed that and went to Auburn. Willis bailed Auburn for a small school and decided to stay. 

of course Cam had some other issues in Florida as well, but i think the big thing was that he didn't have a chance when The Golden Calf of Bristol was in front of him.

The key difference being that NFL struggles aside, The Golden Calf of Bristol is one of the greatest college players ever. The guys in front of Willis at Auburn? Eh... not so much.

Yeah not many guys are comfortable, somebody else's WR, coach, plays, etc.

His in game tape with his team is much more realistic and representative of his true talents which are impressive.

 

This is pretty much word for word what I was told when questioning the Greer pick...

that being said, i really like kaleb eleby.

Eleby will most likley go undrafted (or very late). IMO It would not hurt to bring a guy like that (a developmental guy from somewhere other than Temple) in to run the PS Scout Team. PJ Walker IMO should be replaced. If he's not even considered a threat to Darnold's job security...Its not the kind of competition that makes people better.

Yeah this dual threat stuff is out of hand. We had the best dual threat QB since Michael Vick and they never could figure out how to use him, only train him to stay in the pocket and throw.

Difference between someone like Grier/Pickett/Willis and Carson Strong is that Carson is a pure pocket passer, a Payton Manning type. 

Carson concentrates on playing the QB position at a highly efficient level, he wants to stay in the pocket, so he's focused on reading and getting the ball out to receivers.

They overvalue "athletes" at the QB position when most of these guys like Pickett/Darnold would get flattened in the open field by superior athletes.

If you are not a superior athlete the NFL isn't the place you want to be scampering around. Sam learned that last season. That part of his game is no more, now he's just an inaccurate pocket passer.

Not to mention Cam also went on to dominate at Allbarn, win a NC and Heisman. Had he just stayed and whatever JUCO he was at, there is little chance he ended up in the first round.

Strong will be there in the 4th take him and roll with Darnold for the year

He played last year and ran at the combine. Everybody is saying he's a first rounder, but the knee. If he can suit up like he did last year and play like he did last year he'd be miles ahead of Sam in short order. Carson is already reading defenses and calling plays at the LOS.

Sam would be his backup almost immediately because unlike some of the top QBs crowned by the establishment, who don't care about stats, Carson Strong can come in pick up your playbook and play immediately.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
