QB of the future? Fromm was taken by Buffalo, 167th in round 5. In that same round, with the 159th pick, NE* took placekicker Justin Rohrwasser, who currently seems to be behind Nick Folk in what Bellichick* has described as "an open kicking competition." So, do you think Bellichick* coveted his placekicker of the future over his QB of the future? I don't buy it. If Bellichick* valued him highly enough to "give up this year," he would have drafted him. And, I just don't see any team poaching a rookie, with zero NFL game-tape, from another PS this season for anything other than immediate need. 53-man roster spots are too valuable to risk on rookies, of whom so little is known. There are 31 teams in the league who know just as much about Fromm now, as they did when he was drafted.

He turns 28 on Monday. Happy birthday, Daryl!

Nice block by Williams,

Sounds like a camp body, with little chance of making the 53. I wonder what his chances of making the PS are?

Bellichick* could only poach him to put him on the Roster. I can't imagine a team, including the Pats*, poaching a backup QB to their 53 for the purpose of development-- not this year. Poaching will be done on a need basis, and if any team feels like they need Fromm, then they (and the league, for that matter) are in trouble.

I misspoke, and corrected already.

Out of 79 punts, Bojo put 34 of them inside the opponent's 20. Only two other punters were better than that-- Jake Bailey of NE*, and Brett Kern of Tenn. And Bailey probably cheated...

Nice people.

His average yards per punt were second to last in the league last season, but he was actually one of the best at dropping it within the 20 yard line.

The Jets scrimmaged yesterday, and their 1st string offenses, and defenses were scorched by their opposing #2s. A common refrain on their message boards was that the #2s were all fighting for their roster spots, and were therefor playing a lot harder. So, I guess it's a bit concerning to me that our #2s aren't playing very hard for their roster spots, and also that our #1s are so insecure in their spots that they're playing so hard during a scrimmage.

How about NOW? Is anybody else missing preseason games?

Although, the Jets 1st string D got scorched by their 2nd string O.

I was thinking the D backfield snuck into his bedroom with bars of soap slung in hand-towels.

You're welcome!

I was joking about this in another thread. But, I suppose if other teams are allowed to have fans present, we should be allowed to startle the crap out of them with a train horn.

NOW is anybody missing preseason games???

OMG, that thread almost deserves its own thread on TBD.

Maybe, maybe not... but maybe...

Seriously. F cats. EDIT: Oh, wait... maybe that wasn't your point...?

Edelman really is an ass. Someone with some better photoshop skills than me needs to retool this image to Cam dressed as Batman, and Jules dressed as Robin in the old 60's Adam West style.

Sure. But, let's not forget how badly McD managed the start of Allen's career. Although, McD, and Beane did pull it together the following season. The Jets seem to have Darnold on a downward trajectory.

It reminds me of an Onion headline I read once: "23 Hour Suicide Watch a Failure."

Sure would be a cool story if he did.

I'm not sure if this applies to this thread, or not, but Moss has been compared to Barry Sanders on this site, and from one comment made by Diggs, Hodgins is utterly NFL-ready. Maybe more to the point of this thread, I'll bet that if this were a normal year, Dane Jackson would be turning heads, and might be this year's David Sills.

My guess is he's a troll from New Jersey.
