True but irrelevant to the point I was addressing

I think Russ Wilson in Denver should get honorable mention, at least, or maybe runner-up And how about Aaron Rodgers in NY?

Correct idea, but Douglas was playing with a bum ankle, Benford was not playing (Dane Jackson played 100% of the snaps), and Dodson was playing next to AJ Klein with a wrecked shoulder in a brace. Gabe Davis was also out.

They did NOT see that coming

May I gently and respectfully suggest that, unless you naturally spend your day surfing around the internet, you may not have reasonable data about whether or not there's an uproar? Links shared to make the point that while folks have the right to be all *shrug* "meh" about it, it is legitimately a source of upset and anger for some people. These are the result of a brief Google search on 2 terms. So no, "the uproar" is not strongest here, and I don't think we can legit judge just how few or many people are really upset about it. https://athlonsports.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/patrick-mahomes-brittany-mahomes-want-answers-alarming-bills-incident https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14102243/taylor-swift-brittany-mahomes-consoled-kermit-frog.html https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/photo-buffalo-bills-fans-crossed-the-line-with-their-disgusting-use-of-patrick-mahomes-kermit-the-frog-doll-before-game-vs-chiefs/ar-AA1ufyh0?apiversion=v2&noservercache=1&domshim=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&batchservertelemetry=1&noservertelemetry=1 https://www.tmz.com/2024/11/17/bills-fans-hang-kermit-puppet-mahomes-jersey-chiefs-game/ https://www.theroot.com/black-twitter-responds-to-buffalo-bills-fans-lynching-a-1851701631

Yeah, and I've seen videos of QBs being hit by our linebackers, too

I think that's a fair point. But it's also a fair point that a team (and a GM's) ultimate success or failure depends not only on whether they land that elusive "Franchise Guy", but whether they are successful at putting a team around him, and especially after he 'gets paid".

Now now. How is Kermit Mahomes being run over by a Buffalo THAT different than Patrick Mahomes being run over by Ed Oliver, DaQuan Jones, Greg Rousseau (x2), Dorian Williams, Terrel Bernard (x2), and Von Miller? A Bison has 4 legs, that's 16 legs. A plains bison weighs about 1600 lbs, those 6 guys together list at 1577. Just saying, Mahomes survived 'em

I can't even imagine what Jenna would have to say.

It means he was asked to position himself as they anticipate the opponent's safety will in different coverage looks and shift around pre-snap, so that the starting QB practices diagnosing the coverage and what his throw should be, based on the position of the safety. Otherwise the scout team may lack the personnel to position a safety and an inexperienced QB may fail to build in observing the safety when he's deciding where to go with the ball. There was a time in 2019 when there were clips of Josh taking handoffs in practice and asking the coach "is there a safety over there?". I think it was after that Davis Webb volunteered to play scout team safety (except he ran and made contact) Good point that if the team claims him, they claim the injury guarantee. I hadn't thought of that. But he still may not get the immediate opportunity to pick "a good team". SF would actually be a good landing spot. Giving some benefit of the doubt, I think the Giants were just asking him to help the team prepare. I don't think they thought about how it would look to NFL fans or that Jones would likely feel some way about it.

He may not have that chance immediately - Mayfield had to Carolina then pay a visit to the Rams before he got a chance at Tampa Darnold also had to Carolina then pay a visit to SFO before he got a chance in Minn Geno Smith had to Giants and Charger then sit on the bench for 2 years in Seattle before he got his 2nd chance. If a team claims Jones off waivers, he's pretty much gotta go And sometimes it doesn't seem to work - see Trubisky, Mitch - he seems to be irrevocably broken

I hate to be "that guy", but....source? Edit: n.mind https://www.giants.com/news/statement-from-giants-president-john-mara-on-daniel-jones

I wouldn't, but I used to work with a guy who absolutely would have. We used to have a shared computer in the lab. One day, I left a progress report to my thesis committee open and he search-and-replaced every instance of a commonly used chemical with "*****". Of course, I proofread it before sending it off, and fixed it. I also password-protected all my documents and my document folder. About two weeks later, he was frothing mad when I came in about 8 am, because he'd arrived at 5 am and couldn't open and print out one of my lab protocols. FAFO dude. (Is that usage insensitive of me here?)

That was my take, as well. @Jauronimo, I love ya, but that's just mean
