Work stoppage and the draft


Mother Grabber

Recommended Posts

If there's a work stoppage and no 2011 season, as our JR insiders suggest, does the 2011 draft get whacked and all those players go into the 2012 draft? Does the 2011 draft happen as usual and we follow the same draft order in 2012, meaning we get #1 (potentially) again? Does the space time continuum stop and we all get sucked into a black hole? Does pie become cake?

There will be a 2011 draft, if there is no 2011 season the 2012 draft will be a "lottery" format meaning the order will be determined by pulling team names out of a hat... which I think is unfair. If there is no season, then it stands to reason that the worst team in 2011 will still be the worst team in 2012.

I think it is unfair. They should do a weighted lottery where each teams order in the draft will be within, say 7 picks of the previous year. Meaning the Panthers could do no worse than the 7th pick in the 2012 draft, and especially that this years Super Bowl champion has zero chance of getting the #1 pick.

yeah I think that is a good idea. But it would be fun if a few super teams were created.

Colts get A.J. Green.

Ravens get Patrick Peterson.

That is to funny. A big sophisticated org like the NFL with all its lawyers and advisors can't come up with something that is more fair and amicable. You and I know damn well the first name outta that hat would be the Cowgirls or the Squealers...

Speculation. I don't buy that they already have a process for a draft following a lost year and certainly hope they aren't putting any effort into developing a process. The NHL used a weighted lottery type process but that doesn't mean the NFl will.

Link???? Are you sure that’s the case, or is that something you just heard. It was my understanding that they do not have procedures in place for what will happen with the 2012 draft, so I am assuming the owners would come up with something fair.

I really doubt it would be snake because they are not going to give the best team in the leagues the top picks from the class of 2012 (Especially when 2012 will be the better class because more players are probably going to wait until 2012 to declare and not deal with the uncertainty of the cba. Nor do I think it would just be a random lottery as you can have some of the same issues.

My suggestion or best guest will be something more like a tiered lottery. The top 10 would have a lottery for picks 1-10, then the next ten for 11-20 then the 2010 playoff teams for 21-32. Or even a weighted lottery based on record NBA style.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
