Funny article on 1999 QB draft class

Man, what a miserable QB draft.

I remember the year when all the hype was about two guys: Trent Dilfer and Heath Shuler. Neither ever turned into much, although Dilfer got a ring and is showing talent as a commentator.

(this year could be that all over again)

Career Low Point: The last day of Rams training camp in 1999, when he got the news that some grocery bagger with a gargoyle wife had beaten him out to be Trent Green’s back-up.

:lol:

Baggage: None. Which is funny, because Fox sure went to a lot of effort to paint every Saints-Falcons game as a battle for the soul of the universe between Genuine Good Guy Michael Vick and his less famous cousin, Aaron Brooks (who was a pocket passer, and thus, not to be trusted). Good one.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
