Don't worry, analytics is here to cover you.

+1 If you want to watch the film go ahead but I think you nailed it. For example Kujo missed him a couple times, but most of the time once Kujo got his hands on him it was over. It'd be nice if he developed some counter moves, but I think it's going to be tough for him to be effective in the nfl. Maybe special teams will be the spot for him.

Just click on the link under the word website where it says "Watch on youtube"

Looking at that I think safety - I don't know why, just a feeling - but he seems large enough.

Yeah, I don't agree with gruden.

I'm glad pens/caps on

ESPN and the nfl is going to make this unwatchable.

Whaley has already laid the groundwork for TT by saying he is the starter next year, regardless of what happens this weekend. I think the most telling thing from the pre draft actions is Philly's move to #2. I think if any of the second tier guys were good enough to supplant Bradford they would have stayed in place and took a guy or if they felt threatened maybe move a spot or two. By needing Wentz/Goff out of this class even though they have a veteran starter leads me to guess that the 2nd tier of qb's are going later than most expect. I know it only takes one team to like a guy, but I won't be surprised if these qb's drop.

Congrats CBF. At 4 minutes of labor your wife is primed to have a few more!

+1 and put him through a pre-training camp type workout and see how he does. Then we can see how the arm is.

Carson Wentz : Phi Jared Goff : LA Ezekiel Elliot : NYG Laquon Treadwell : Min Paxton Lynch : Dal Bills Pick (bonus) : Lawson

I have two words - Ryan Fitzpatrick. He'll be a member of the jets.

Excellent stuff. Don't know where else you post this, but if you want you can correct the houston explanation in sentence two you meant Hopkins I think.

If anyone has the stones to actually sit the rookie it will be Fisher. I won't be surprised if he starts the season as the primary backup.

You doing your best Buddy Nix impersonation?

That was my first thought too. It will be interesting to see how they read the numbers.

Browns moved down a couple times a few years ago - didn't help much because you still have to pick quality players.

Assuming teams can get their "best player in the draft" for the cost of the #3 player.

That's pretty awesome right there, hopefully we will keep learning about the disease and how to treat it.

That's my point about a pass, a completion is good and incompletion is bad. But there are many datapoints that effect the result and I don't understand how you collect and assess them to come up with a value added result beyond what could be determined by a person. Not saying it can't be done, just seems like a larger set of variables than baseball because of the team nature of the sport including a playbook etc. Also for example, a few years ago Kavika (sp?) Mitchell was called out on twitter for not making a play in the pass defense. It certainly looked like it could have been his fault but according to him it was not his responsibility. How do you assess a player when you don't know the responsibilities and how well they were followed?

I would add: for some owners. Some owners don't pay for top notch coaching staffs, let alone money for additional or not proven back office folks.

I'll laugh if it ends up like the Chip Kelly experiment in Philly, done in a couple years. I think it has a chance to work if for no other reason the primary voice in the decision is not influenced by anyone else's opinion. But he's got to be able to draft, that will be the bottom line. Of course, the last few years the front office has set that bar on the floor so it shouldn't be hard to hurdle.

I don't know how he's going to get the data to a level where it's going to help. So in the case of an incompletion how do you capture the factors that led to it? I understand it could be done, but you're talking about a ton of man hours by people who understand what they're looking at. Edit: didn't see where they are going to use chips - but still, difficult to determine intent. Like the guys wasn't the most open, but he was open enough.

I feel bad for the kid, he can throw people open and make a lot of nfl throws. OSU's offense was not suited to him, sort of like Rex's D wasn't suited to Mario. Very rough techniquewise though. I won't be surprised if he is off the board by 49.

I think it usually takes a rookie qb in the same system until the third year to have a really good idea how to run the system. Seems like first year is the "don't give him too much year" that can lead to decent stats and wins if the defense and running game is good, the second is the "let's throw more at him" and there is some faltering as the mental part of the game is expanded and ironed out. Hopefully with TT's additional experience he will accelerate the curve but I think it will be tough for him to play well enough to deserve a really big contract (by qb standards).
