Fun Fact

As a change of pace from The Sky is Falling threads, heres a fun fact.  One of the biggest busts in Carolina draft history, and the worst 8th overall pick in NFL history, Tim Biakabutuka owns 3 Bojangles restaurants.  I guess JR was determined to make money off him one way or another.

Yeah. i think JR still owns some franchises but his capital group Falfurias capital sold Bojangles for a nice profit a couple years ago.

Umm no. JR isn't a part of Falfurias. Falfurious is a partnership capital group between two former BOA execs, neither of which are JR. JR was never the owner of the controlling interest in Bojangles. Falfurias sold their controlling interest to a Boston based company in 2011 and JR still holds his privately owned minority stake.

JR is/was a major investor and partner.

That may be but his stake in bojangles is privately held and wasn't a part of Falrurias' controlling interest. When Falfurias bought Bojangles, JR was part of the deal as a private minority investor in addition to whatever investment he had within the capital group.

    • It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.
    • I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt. 
    • That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
