1.He must be a senior, because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback.

2.He must be a graduate, because you want someone who takes his responsibilities seriously.

3.He must be a three-year starter, because you need to make sure his success wasn’t ephemeral and that he has lived as “the guy” for some period of time.

4.He must have at least 23 wins, because the big passing numbers must come in the context of winning games.

Blatant Homerism also notes that, of the seven quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl in the 2000s, five — Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning and Trent Dilfer — met all four requirements when drafted.

This is new information.

So Parcells doesn't know what he is talking about because you deem his perspective invalid, antiquated, dated, or you really have never seen this before? Because Parcells really needs your endorsement here.

This same bit was discussed in a newton article I read yesterday. It showed recent history from a different angle, mentioning that something like 5 or 6 first round qbs of this decade fit that profile and using it as an example of how it worka (implying those qbs are good). But if you look at the list (I'm using my phone ATM, I'll look up the article when I get home from work) only 1 or 2 of them are actually good. Big Ben and Phillip rivers. The others were like David garrard, Matt leinart, Eli manning and a couple other mid tier guys. That fact disproved the method just as much as the super bowl fact proves it.

Andrew Luck would have met none of these requirements if he came out.

Ah, but Luck didn't come out this year. And by the time he does, he likely will meet pretty much all of them.

On the rules themselves though, I'm not sure I buy the "must be a senior" or "must be a graduate" argument anymore. I get why he says it, and there's logic to it, but there are guys who have come out as juniors and been successful.

Don't know that I buy into "three year starter" either because they're rare these days, but I'd agree that a two-year starter is better than a one-year starter.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Yep - honestly though, I thought his coverage was as good as you could possibly do on a man coverage crossing route with Dak having all day to throw. Dak made a perfect throw and if it wasn't in front of Pickens, it could have easily been picked off. Seemed like we ran more man than I have seen our defense run so far this year. Defense also did a great job of playing their gap/zone responsibilities (even if Dak did pick apart our zone a good chunk of the game) - that screen play on the last drive could easily have gone for a touchdown if Moehrig didn't play his zone and make a great tackle. Biggest complaint about Evero was not blitzing a few more times (especially when Dallas was in the red zone). The few times we did it, Dak didn't look comfortable.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
