You assume other front offices thought he was worth a 2nd simply because Hurney did. I disprove that logic by showing that just because Hurney thought Jimmy was worth it doesn't mean others felt the same based on the fact that they passed on him. Makes perfect sense.

You saying something that makes even less sense doesn't show anything.

I think he's trying to say that the market dictates the value but Hurney is also part of that market; not mention there is no way to determine if he would have fallen out of the 2nd had we not drafted him. Im sure he wouldn't have lasted to the 3rd.

Teams can have very different grades on prospects, as evidenced by nobody wanting Jimmy except us. This shows that it is stupid to assume another front office thought AE was worth a second simply because Hurney did.

15 teams passed on Clausen in the 2nd round. You have no idea what grade the other 16 teams had on him b/c they didn't have the chance to select him.

That provides evidence that 15 teams had a different grade on him. Any evidence you have that any other team had a similar grade on him? No? So why assume it with absolutely nothing to back it up?

You're theory is flawed in that you think all second rounders are graded the same. Let's just go with an example. Let' say the Jaguars had the 35th overall selection, which is in the second round. Do the Jags feel Clausen/Edwards is worth it at that spot? No, if they passed on him. But, does that mean they wouldn't have taken Clausen/Edwards later in the second round? Absolutely not.

This validates my prior point that you're a dumbass. The word "assumption" implies that there are is no factual reinforcement so "baseless assumption" is redundant. You stupid dumbass.

Example: Before the draft the Panthers workout AE at WR. This leads to the "assumption" that they are looking at moving him to WR. This would be an assumption that isn't baseless. Try again and learn the definition of words before you use them to avoid looking like a dumbass

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
