First QB to go in the draft?

I think Manziel will go first. Nothing will bring more excitement to Houston than good ol' Johnny Football. I think Bridgewater is decent, but I'm going to pull out the good ol' conferences argument. SEC > American. Add in the fact that Manziel is the better dual-threat, Houston will take him first. 

 

I think Hundley is solid as well. Carr, not too sure. He was awful against USC, which was probably the first "real" defense he played against all season.

I would hate to be picking a QB this year in the draft.

 

Take Manziel for instance, The TTBOW had set the NCAA record for yds at 4100 only to have it broken by Cam at 4300.  Then here comes Manziel and has a 4800 yd season followed by a 5100 yd season.  He has elusiveness, but is small, has a decent passing game and has nice touch and vision.  He does not necessarily have a rocket arm, but the most worrisome thing about him is between his ears.  He might grow up or he might flame out.  I don't like his maturity, of course I am 53 and don't like any players maturity for the most part, joking.

 

He is surely a showboat kind of guy and would just worry me if I had to coach him.  I think Hundley is a year away, but might be better than any of them long term.  If he stays in school, I think he is number one pick next season barring injury.  But like I said, I would hate to be in need of a qb this season.  I hope whomever the Browns signs, sucks.  Have little respect for their brass after their treatment of Chud, I mean, who do they think they are, Jerry Jones?

      This is where I'm at. Dowdle is a feel good story and glad he's proving his doubters wrong. I just don't see how we keep our OL intact (which is the right move) and spend on another RB after giving Chuba his money. Though the odds are against him, I do think Brooks can still be our RB2 next year..and if he stays healthy, our longterm RB1. Having the full offseason with no pressure to try and come back like last year will help. I'm also happy to see he and TD have been connecting.  If this team is smart, they go into next year with Chuba/Brooks/ETN and sign a Dowdle-light version in FA at minimum cost. Chuba is in his prime and a full offseason to fully recharge will only benefit him more. Dowdle is unfortunately a luxury item I don't think we can spend our money on. We still have other areas of need that we have to improve on the defensive side of the ball.

      so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      last time they loaded the box, shut down the run and forced BY9 to beat them, we saw the result of that. So what can we do this time to beat them? I suspect it's going to require a lot of short / intermediate passes with TE play to help

      Floyd Mayweather Jr. made hundreds of millions off realizing this. He was an exciting boxer in his early days but watching his dad and uncle struggle with the effects of taking thousands of punches to the head he realized he was skilled enough to good guys without putting himself at risk and he'd just wait for other elite guys to lose a step before facing them. The whole WWE-esque "Money" persona was built around the realization that it doesn't matter if they're watching to see you win or watching hoping you'll lose, all that matters is that they're watching. Force them to love you or hate you, just make sure they care enough to tune in. We had a similar situation with Cam. Everyone felt some kinda way about Cam. You couldn't find many NFL fans who were neutral on Cam Newton. Is was love or hate but either way it was must see TV.
