JP51

Exactly! and I have no idea how this turns out, but seems like he is gonna be a 1 trick deep threat if he can release at the line...

I cant see moving a CB1 to Safety

Well, I dont disagree... but he is still here so I am hoping he learns... if he doesnt I am not sure how much longer.

jury still out but that tape didnt look good... if he cant beat press and he cant catch the balls over the middle and in traffic for fear of being decapitated that leaves him severely limited in scope for an offense... I mean I cant even see him in a gadget role running a reverse because more often than not he is gonna get hit unless he just bails.... maybe he improves, scheme helps etc and he becomes great but at this point I dont see him being the pick for me... I liked Smoke.. but it was a very similar situation he wasnt gonna do much more than go deep and play sidelines...

I dont disagree here... I think he thrives on consistency, his teams are talented enough to hang in every game.. and typically do... but playoff time you need to raise it another level and that may mean you need to adjust your mundane consistency to more appropriate risk taking as teams have an entire year and body of work to scheme your team. I feel like if you throw the old the way we have always done it you and up at a disadvantage especially with teams that are as or maybe even marginally more talented then you. Specifically KC who I think pound for pound is more talented. Thing is the more talented team doesnt always win, but coaching becomes more important in those situations... (see Bills/Giants SB).... lets see if he learns.

100% agree here... I would love to see how he operates... I hope its truly authentic and he gets into the real nitty gritty.

Best of luck AJ... probably good idea to make this one permanent and take the kids fishin!

This is actually very interesting... I would love to see this compared to the Bills board or another teams... draft seems to be a black box when it comes to teams internal boards etc... thanks for sharing this.

100% with you shows you how desperate I was to draft a qb to be ok with EJ... forgot about the orakpo thing. Omg epic fail

Probably, course when I was there it wasnt evil hot and humid, I can imagine it being tough for sure.

I am thinking so... I think when camp begins to wrap up he may make a decision....

Depends on the kids and how old, I would say one of my fav things about this is seeing how excited the kids get. Most of the time it looks like the players get a big kick out of interacting with them.

Dont try to disrupt outsiders opinions with facts... LOL how dare you 😆🤣

Feel like this is a camp body incase Edwards injury lingers...

Maybin was the one for me then Erik Flowers, JD Williams and Mike Williams for sure. EJ actually I didnt hate the pick, because I was like finally someone understands that you need a QB to be successful in the league after so many years of trying to re tread backups albiet it was an epic stretch.... Unfortunately, it was also an epic bust. But I gave Whaley credit for trying... but man that was a bad QB draft.

I remember Joe Dufek... such a bad QB name... like it wants to clue you into the future LOL

QBs are so tough to get right I remember passing on Russell Wilson twice and not gonna lie didn't want him. I remember Marino lasting to 27 and of course the anomalies of Brady, Kurt Warner and even to an extent Romo. Sometimes you just gotta keep buying tickets. Heck I remember the people that thought Leaf should went before Manning lol

Stork yes!

This ^^^^

Agreed 100% he must learn how to be an effective leader... Not that my life makes any difference here, but I lead a large group of people, I am learning this skill daily it never stops just like anything else you do... nothing ever stays stagnant, you move forward or you move back. He needs to focus on this and learning his craft like any of us do. Being a top 3 QB isnt good enough, he needs to be a top 3 leader as well... its time that he gave his leadership skills some time and attention, as everyone will benefit.

Well said, my hope is that he matures and takes charge (within his authentic self) especially with the spector of Diggs being gone. The team, himself, and hopefully the record will benefit from it. I think at this point to take the next step, this will be required. I think the good news is that there is a re tooling going on with a lot of newer players looking for more leadership him filling that void will go a long way in the transformation of the team. Not necessarily sure that "chewing out" is required... unless of course he is disposed to that. There are ways outside of that to hold people accountable... and he should hopefully do that in his way... but yes however it gets done, it needs to happen.

Oh, I couldnt agree more about it being a skill that needs to be taught, learned and refined based on experience. There is innateness too it as well as some peoples default is to lead and this is true with Josh and I would say most QBs that are successful. However, exactly as you stated it needs to be learned and understood. I always say in our business world we take people who are good at tasks and make them leaders and yet never train them or show them how. I think from my perspective successful leadership is about applying those learned leadership skills to your authentic self and innate ability to lead... because if you try to be something you are not, you will fail. and lastly yes, it should not require you lose your youthful enthusiasm, in fact that was the point at least for me. That is who JA is, they should not look to change that in him (back to authentic self)

I think I am optimistic to see the continuation of Brady's offense that seemed to really get untracked in the 2nd half of the season. Additionally, how Josh moves into the role of true leader and doesn't need to feed one person to theoretically keep them happy which I felt Dorsey's offense over did a bit. I also wonder if they give JA increased responsibility/control at the line to call his own plays and audible. Not that he doesn't do some of that now... but more of a game plan/Philosophy.

So I have a couple thoughts here... I think he truly does believe this but its probably more of a rationalization as to why he hasn't been let in yet, as well as him keeping his name out there for consideration in hopes of getting a bit of a groundswell of support in the court of public opinion... I think the movie drew attention to the blind side for sure, but definitely also drew attention to the importance of OL play as a whole. Not sure this actually hurt him. Last, I think the people who are voting for those who will be inducted would likely not be swayed in their opinion on the importance of right and left side line play based on a Sandra Bullock movie. JMO

Wishing him a speedy recovery.
