Hey! Lets draw conclusions from OTA's and offseason practices!

Before anyone starts spouting off about how any of the draft picks look in OTAs or summer school let me give my annual reminder of how those practices mean absolutely nothing in terms of how the rookies will look this year.

They are not allowed any contact. Trying to evaluate a rookie DT or LB without allowing them to touch other players is like evaluating a tennis player without a tennis ball.

Want to talk about their work ethic, punctuality, or haircut? Fine.

Want to draw conclusions on how they look? Ridiculous

We won't have any clue on how these guys progress until a couple weeks into training camp when they put on their pads and have their first scrimmage.

I know I know, you all know this already.

Love,

Zod

also, WRs dropping passes and even QBs overthrowing them isn't really an issue at that point.

it's more important learning routes and where everyone is supposed to be and their assignments. they can fine tune the stuff in TC. it's ok to make mistakes in the learning stage.

    • I've already posted this but I think it's worth repeating here: "To me, that's an insult to Horn but that's besides the point. Against the Dolphins, the Panthers faced a 4-5 with 3:31 left in the game. Bryce hit Horn for a 17 yrd completion picking up the 4th down and leading to a score for the win." So why shoulf they have not used Horn on that down given they had before - with success.
    • each of the past 3 yeara byoungs y/g passer rating and qbr all have been between 30th and 24th.  up and down he hasnt improved he had the atlanta game thus year and a few ok games but didnt even eclipse 300 yards but 2 games and one of those 2 againdt arizona he got 300 bc he was trying to come back from a blowout he caused by playinf horrific.  i just dont see what everyome else sees maybe i am the one with the issue bc i cant see his greatness.  i woild rather an udfa rookie next year at qb
    • It may help satisfy the rule, but I don't think the franchise that pushed for the rule is interviewing anyone they wouldn't seriously consider for the job just to satisfy the rule. If the Steelers interview you, they have legitimate interest in hiring you
