I don't think he is talking about his capacity it's more visually or aesthetics.  He wants his first overall pick to be bigger and stronger and have a rocket arm.

Visual and aesthetics aside, it's a tough game. And yes the OL has been bad (nickle for every time I've said that over the last 4 years) but the one thing we heard about him over and over when his size came up is that he's so nimble and has such incredible pocket presence that he never allows himself to absorb those kinds of vicious hits that could shorten his career.

Well based on 5+ hits and 2 sacks in 6 drives...

We gave up a sh*tload to get him, so he better be made of steel, because a 350lb+ lineman don't give a crap how smart you are when he lands on you.

He's just like many other analysts, he has some hits and misses. He doesn't always go with the consensus.

2017 he said Mahomes could be special and touted both of him and Watson over Trubisky

2018 he had Lamar and Josh Allen as the top two ahead of Baker, Darnold, and Rosen

2020 he had Burrow and Herbert as the top two ahead of Tua

People see Wilson, and that Corral didn’t throw 5 TD’s his first preseason game, and therefore Simms = hack. 
 

He is not Skip Bayless no matter how much people try to convince me he is.

I don’t watch/listen when he sits with Florio. I just get the general vibe that Florio really enjoys hearing himself talk, and he dominates conversations. 
 

I also don’t like his face. 
 

That doesn’t make me right. Doesn’t make the way I feel right. But that’s how I be feeling. 

The most annoying thing about Florio for me is that he always feels like he's auditioning to be the President of the NFLPA. Yeah, we get it. You were labor lawyer. We don't care.

Chris Simms also told us Mart Corral and Trey Lance were the  best QBs in their respective drafts. He only cares about size and having a big arm.  No surprise since he sucked at processing when he was a pro.

If it makes you feel any better he also thinks Drew Brees was massively overrated.

I think literally everyone on this board has seen enough out of Corral he completely misfired on that ranking. It has nothing to do with him not throwing 5 TD's in his first preseason game.

that may be my problem then

Yeah he's awful paired with Florio, just offers nothing of substance. He's usually pretty good when Dan Patrick interviews him, I always enjoy his QB draft analysis, and he's got some interesting perspective just having been in the league a little bit.

Yep. Anytime you're trying to project talent to the next level of competition it's gonna be a crap shoot. A lot of 4 and 5 star recruits bust in college while a lot of afterthought recruits become All-Conference and All-Americans. A lot of high draft picks bust in the NFL while a lot of mid to late round draft picks and even UDFAs become good pros. It's always been the case and it'll always be the case.

Corral has played the equivalent of 1 preseason at this point. Half of that with McAdoo and Rhule. 
 

Yeah “literally everyone on this board has seen enough.”

he was pushing the young slander well before he was ever drafted

No.  He wasn't.  Young was the #2 QB on Simms board.  Simms, like pretty much every single evaluator, had concerns over size.  That's it.  In fact, Simms had some traits for Young that he compared to Mahomes and Rodgers.

He did say that about Corral, but he had Trey Lance rated #6 in his class.

He seems to be a guy that appreciates pure arm talent over analytical processing QBs. Burrow looks like he was the exception, but he had the greatest season of any college QB. I don’t have anything against him, but he has a pattern and sometimes it’s right, but recently it hasn’t been.

I was fine with Bryce, Stroud, or Richardson. I was most intrigued by Richardson though. Maybe it's just because of the success we had with Cam. I don't know. I could just most easily translate his talent to the NFL. With Bryce you're HEAVILY relying on him being the smartest guy on the field. Hopefully he is.

And with Richardson you are HEAVILY relying on him developing into a good QB not just a good athlete.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
