    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

     

  5. 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.

  6.  

    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.

  7. Which, in keeping with your recent posts, is completely irrelevant to the question which was asked.

     

    Irrelevant huh? Well I put down the career W/L with Luck and the AFC South because you stated that "Luck lost the games against the Texans and Jags right?".....well Luck didn't play in those games because he was injured. Hasselback started both games against the Texans and Jags that year....

     

    So I guess to answer your question....no Luck didn't lose those games.

  8. Wasnt Edwards one of the designers of that interactive football simulator for NFL QB's aimed at showing real game scenarios to speed up development?

     

    Pretty sure it was called the 3 and Out and focused heavily on unblocked corners and safeties coming unblocked off the edge.

    dude...that's awesome if he is one of those designers.

  9.  

    Excuses Excuses Excuses. If you take away the drops and the bad blocking and penalties in the Eagles game Hotrod probably turns in a much better performance as well.

     

    As far as his accuracy goes, I haven't seen anything to convince me "he's accurate enough". As a senior at Pitt he threw for 60.46% including all the shovel passes. For college that's not very good. EJ threw for 67.96%. Although he does make some really nice passes sometimes, his accuracy overall is meager IMHO and not ready to start in the NFL (yet).

     

    Luck had a below 60% completion percentage in college.....

     

    I don't think completion percentage is an accurate indicator to see how accurate a QB is....unless it's really bad.

    There are many factors that lead to it....type of offense and QB tendencies play a huge part of it.

     

    Sam Bradford had the highest completion percentage of all time last year because he doesn't throw downfield very often.....he's not the most accurate.
