Mr. Scot

No it isn't

Multiple sources... I noticed my Twitter notifications were suddenly coming rapid fire so I decided to take a look

In New York? He'll get it.

I'm gonna go out on a lamb and predict that the Aaron Rodgers trade will get done before the draft

Seeing word that the Rofgers trade is finalized

Well on that, I agree with you

So it's just an impression. There's nothing to actually back it up at this point.

Has anyone made a statement indicating that Levis doesn't work hard?

So basically, you're making sh-t up because you've got nothing to support your point. Thought so...

There's a pretty wide gulf between being in on the discussion and having final say on the decision.

Which one does this fall under?

You of course have specific links to support this?

I'd call it the Aye Yi Yi test. If the physical was the only thing you judged the quarterback position by, then you might have a valid argument. It's not. In fact it's one of the least important things about playing quarterback at the pro level.

Perspective on this year's QB class in general seems to be...less than positive.

That's not "breaking" I've said before that I get the idea, but these have gotten out of hand. It's like you've gotta look for one, even if it's forced. The biggest thing for me though is the idea that if this guy did it, then anybody else can do it. That's what Breer is arguing against.

I do. I watched Sam Mills play. The reasoning you're employee here is The kind that would lead someone to take Kerry Collins over Drew Brees.

Looks like we're doing decent in that department now though...

I think I'd trust who an actual NFL GM would pick over a kid in a schoolyard. You're basing pretty much your entire argument on physical traits. There is way more to playing quarterback in the NFL than that.

Talked a while back about Russell Wilson comps for Bryce Young, but Albert Breer had a little piece today about the numerous comps people were making to Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts. MMQB for 4/24/23 Breer's take: The Josh Allen comps you hear on quarterbacks are starting to get me a little annoyed. The Jalen Hurts ones, too, and that’s with the acknowledgment that in my overview of the 2023 quarterback class coming Tuesday, you’ll find a guy whose comp is, yup, Allen. That said, here’s where I’m at on it … Really, as I see it, Allen and Hurts give GMs and coaches cover to take chances on raw quarterbacks with skill sets that can be used creatively, which in turn buys them time to develop in the areas needed. Allen’s off-scheduling playmaking ability bought him time to tweak his mechanics and throwing efficiency, which made him more accurate. Hurts’s ability as a runner in an Oklahoma-style option game the Eagles fashioned for him bought him time to progress in throwing from the pocket in general and with anticipation in particular. The truth, though, is those are difficult areas for any quarterback to improve, and, after I tweeted that fact, a quarterbacks coach who works with the elite guys from the time they’re teenagers reached out to echo the point I was making. And he mentioned the football adversity that both Allen and Hurts encountered on their way, which was part of their willingness, ability and relentless drive to keep developing. Just think about it. Hurts started for two years for Alabama, guiding the Crimson Tide to consecutive CFP national title games, only to be benched at halftime of the second of those, watch his team win it all and then never start a game again at the school. He served as a backup at Alabama as a junior and resurfaced the year after at Oklahoma, starting there and playing well enough to get drafted in the second round. Allen, meanwhile, had to go the junior college route out of high school, then thrive at the first school that offered him, Wyoming. Because those guys had to go through so much to get to the NFL, they were equipped to make it once they got there. And to think anyone else can is, well, unrealistic.

I like Bailey sometimes but I vividly remember him heavily defending Matt Rhule. That put me off a lot.

There was a Falcons troll on the board at the time who, right after Gross was picked, posted "swing and a miss". I don't remember who he thought we should have picked but obviously, he was wrong

You're having way too much fun with this

No "almost" for me

Here's a piece from a different source: For context, Giddings Is the owner of the NFL's oldest independent scouting service (founded by his father, a former 49ers player many years back). He's described as someone that NFL people frequently call for "an unbiased opinion". From the article... So, what do I think of Bryce Young? I didn’t know much about him until I studied him the past few weeks. From what I’d heard, I expected to see Joe Montana-like performances – with precision passing, quick decisions, keen awareness and big plays. And I did. But not enough to convince me that he should be the first pick in the draft. In fact, if I were to advise Carolina what to do with the first pick on Thursday night, I’d make my message simple: Buyer, beware. ... But part of a fit is evaluating the player’s strengths and weaknesses and figuring out how to utilize the strengths and not expose the weaknesses. With Young, there are three things I didn’t see in college that would have to improve for me to come around to him: - His deep ball accuracy - Deep-ball diagnosis (chunk) - Avoiding the hits he took in college. Basically, the awareness and diagnosis elements have to go from Red to Blue for him to be a successful NFL quarterback. And if they don’t? Then I have major concerns.
