I'll tell you what, you have to like what Jimmy is doing. Most people in his situation would have given up all hope by now, but he is still trying to get better and help himself as well as a former teammate out.

On a another note, any wide receiver that can make Clausen look like a good quarterback should instantly top the NFL Draft rankings for wide receiver. Hell, not even Steve Smith could make Clausen look like a decent quarterback.

It's April and now it's time for agent/teams to start spreading the typical disimformation in axn attempt to raise/lower draft positions. Blackmon is now compared to Boldin and Floyd to Fitzgerald. Someone releases Clairborn's low test score to lower his appeal. Expect daily talk of who is being brought in but the player actually drafted may well say that he was never shown any interest by the team beforehand.

That is just so wrong. Sure Floyd could make him look good when they are the only two on the field. Put a D on the field and Jimmy boy is instantly confused. Smitty couldn't help that.

This is my opinion so don't get butt hurt

I think it would be a very smart move to get Floyd with our #9 pick. Yes, our defense sucked hard last year, but if anyone can turn a bunch of scrubs into a good unit its Rivera. He said he would take more control of our D, and with a full off season of OTA's and workouts, he could vastly improve our defense quicker than others project.

What I think is very important to our FO is continuing to develop Cam. It makes sense to me that we start a good young combo that would be elite for years and years. We most likely wont be picking this high in a long time barring a trade or whatever, so i think we should snag that high caliber WR while we have the chance.

Floyd would fit our offense so perfectly, better than Blackmon IMO. This dude is the next Vincent Jackson! We would have the most Physical and Explosive offense in the NFL hands down.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, I can get a ball downfield 40 yards.  There would be a couple massive issues with me doing it.   My ball placement would be off the charts bad.  Second, for me to get it 40 yards I'm gonna have to moon it......which would give DBs the opportunity to make plays on balls that wouldn't exist if a better QB were throwing it.  Which is all an exaggerated explanation of the Bryce issue.  To many play the literal game w/ Bryce when it comes defending him.  Every NFL QB likely can loft one up around 50 yards.  Every QB in the NFL can't get a ball 30 yards downfield in the same windows.  Or the same ball placement.  That's the Bryce issue.    But I also think mixed into that is just his QB DNA.    Take a young Brees, it was in his DNA to stress defenses and takes shots.  He would flat out be Delhomme-ish at times.  Which is coverage and assignment altering.  Brees would throw balls into triple coverage 40 yards downfield.  Is that smart? Sometimes it is.  Not because the play gets made but you force the secondary to play honest.

      Tbf were not going to the superbowl this year so the development of our young wr is invaluable  As a side note 5 of our wr are in their 2nd year or less ( t Mac, Coker, tremayne, horn, x)  It's def a promising youth movement
