With Maye's small sample size, I'd still have to say Young. His processing and feel for the position are incredible, especially for such a young guy. 

Maye has all of the physical tools, but I think he still has a lot to prove to be a top 5 pick.

In this type of hypothetical, you're just comparing traits.  Does Maye have great traits?  Sure?  I guess?  I dunno.

What I do know is that he's not up for drafting.  Neither is Williams of USC.  We have our pick of the litter of this year's QBs, and that's what matters to me.

Who has better traits?  Maye or Richardson?  Williams or Levis?  Sadly, being a QB needy team for as long as we've been, we live in this perpetual "edging" fantasy of having it all when we get nothing out of it.

Well, that time is over.  In a little over 12 hours from right now (7:45am), we'll know who our next QB is.  This wonder team of of coaches will coach them up because their livelihoods depend on it. 

If they pick the wrong guy?  Sucks for us, but I heard the QB class in 4 years is going to be something!  For many of them, it's a loss of a job.  The NFL and Tepper won't care too much as they will still get our money.

It's the same story every year. The next QB class is going to be "infinitely better" then once that season rolls around the current top QB's are dissected and we're told we should wait for the next class because it'll be better.

I dunno. I’m not sure the Pickett class was projected to be better than the Lawrence class.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
