  1. 1) honestly, what have McDermott proven to know about qbs? He is a DC and Beane is a first time head coach.

    I want Peterman to be good but why does the most pro ready qb slide to the 5th? And sometimes most pro ready means a low ceiling.

     

    2) Reid was Farve's qb coach before he had proven anything in the NFL. Farce gives him a ton of credit. http://www.espn.com/blog/kansas-city-chiefs/post/_/id/18441/brett-favre-recalls-andy-reid-fondly-as-his-qb-coach

     

    Reid also coached the dog killer to far and away the best passing season of his career. He made scrubs Kevin Kolb & AJ Feely look good enough to get a 2nd round picks. He took Captain Checkdown 2.0 Alex Smith and made him into a playoff qb every year.

     

    Honestly, you don't know football if you are questioning Reid's work with qbs. If Andy Reid was hired by the Bills, I believe we would have ended the drought and found a qb by now. We would lose in the playoffs but still we would be way better off.

    Michael Vicks success was with Reid was temporary and just one season. He struggled the 3 other years. Why wasn't he able to keep the success?

     

    Alex Smith was a fumbled punt away from starting in the Super Bowl with San Fran.

     

    Reid knew Smith had talent which is why they gave up a 2nd round pick for him. It's not like he turned water into wine.

  2. Haha. I was the ultimate homer! I defended Jauron to the death! But 17 years has killed me. So forgive me if I don't blindly trust the D.C. Of the 21st ranked defense to be in charge of our franchise.

    Was his defense always ranked 21st or are you just going to repeat over and over because it was his lowest ranking?

     

    Did you know this about Mike McCarthy? He was the OC in San Fran in 2005. San Fran finished 4-12, offense finished 30th in scoring at 14.9 ppg. McCarthy was named the HC in Green Bay a few weeks later.

  3.  

    True.

     

    I guess I'm hoping a team like LA, Cleveland or Chicago wind up in one of those spots and has enough faith in their existing young QB and wants to trade down.

     

    I also won't rule us out from being the 2nd worst team in the NFL this year. I think our offense is going to be just awful.

     

    The best case scenario IMO is Luck is out for the year, Indy goes like 4-12 and the same thing with Chicago. Both have QB's.

    If Kizer shows some promise and Cleveland finishes at the bottom....could be another good trade partner.

  4. I am almost certain of this. We drafted I think 4 players that had visited Carolina before the draft but not us. Including the two we traded up for. Obviously McDermott and/or Beane were running the show, Whaley was just given a respectful exit. It will never be proven but all the evidence points that way.

     

    I always wondered what was going through Whaley's mind. You know you're gone after the draft and another guy from another team is running it with the HC. I think he just set up the draft board, like wrote it on the white board and that was about it.

  5. You're right. Rodgers sucks. It's not like you're cherry picking results or anything.

     

    You've been cherry picking like crazy! WOW!

    He's been better in his first 5 years than every QB on that list, yes. Peyton hadn't been to a Super Bowl, let alone won one yet. He threw 23 INT's on his way to 6-10 in year 4.

     

    You try to twist things to an absurd level. It's boring.

     

    Yep. The majority of his posts are like this. He can't give anything with substance so his ploy is to go absurd.

  6. Here's a guy that could rise up the charts this year. Small school guy with great physical tools like Wentz in 2016....not sure if he'll fly up the draft boards like him but you never know this time of year. Another big plus....plays in a pro style offense right now at WKU.

    White helms a pro-style offense that allows him to make multiple reads as a passer, make multiple post-snap decisions and handle pre-snap audible and adjustments.

    It’s that ability to control, to adjust, to outsmart opposing teams, that gets White excited. Despite passing for more than 4,000 yards and 37 touchdowns in 2016, White’s favorite play from last year is a run. After recognizing a defensive line shift alignment, White audibled to a backside run.

    One of the important characteristics of a great quarterback is courage. The willingness to drop back and deliver and take big hits,” Spurrier said. “He has a lot to offer, but that’s the one thing that’s clear. He has that courage, that toughness, to be a great quarterback.”

    As White and Spurrier finish installing WKU’s new offense, NFL teams ready for a breakout season from the quarterback. I told Spurrier that White was firmly on NFL radars, and is expected to be one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Spurrier said he knew White was special shortly after taking the job, when ge ran into Archie Manning at a coach conference, who nearly immediately said he wanted Spurrier's new quarterback at the Peyton Manning Passing Academy.

    White isn’t worried about the competition at quarterback this season, even with guys like Darnold of USC and Josh Allen of Wyoming. White saw Darnold up close at the Manning Passing Academy and roomed with Allen at the event.

    “They’re both really good, and really good guys. I watch a lot of Sam at USC. I watch a lot of college football,” White said. “There’s a lot of good quarterbacks in the country.”

    You won’t find White in any first-round NFL Mock drafts yet. He’s a 100-to-1 Heisman contender right now, lumped in with receivers, first-year starters, and even his former South Florida competitor in Flowers. White has been counted out as underdog for his entire football playing career. He only had one year as a high school starter, a losing record at South Florida, was forced to transfer away from his home state and change offenses three times in five years.

     

  7. I was mixing it up with when he lost to the Jags and Texans this past year. Sorry. You remember, the games where he missed bunny passes on 4th and short in crunch time.

     

    Spin it however you want. He is seen as a demigod in the sports press and a lot of people just go along with that like the people in "The Emperor's New Clothes" or North Korean citizens do with Kim Jung Un. People think Un shot an 18 in a round of golf and think Luck has produced marvelous results. Neither are true. It doesn't mean he is a bad QB. It just means he has been granted a lot of excuses. Maybe some of them are valid. Pardon me for allowing the possibility that possibly....potentially....God forbid...he is not the greatest QB ever and a guaranteed ticket to glory.

     

    You really need to change your username to Hyperbole.

  8.  

    I do not subscribe to that theory. Eric Wood was not a very good guard, nor was Doug Legurski (though he filled in just fine at center when he was in Pittsburgh). I also think that Mike Pouncey was not very good at guard when he had to play there.

     

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Groy didn't play well at all in the preseason at guard last year....it's coming back to me now.

    I remember when he made the team, I was shocked because he was terrible in preseason. Then he filled in at center....pretty good.

    I thought Groy would be Wood's replacement next year....well then Wood signed a 2 year extension.
