Mr. Scot

Relevant to this topic: Albert Breer is reporting that both Justin Fields and Trey Lance are each looking at having an additional pro day. The reason? They want another chance to impress the 49ers. (other teams would be allowed to attend though)

I get annoyed seeing people talk about mediocre quarterbacks having great workouts. For quarterbacks who look good in actual games like Wilson and Fields, a workout or a pro day just solidifies what you already knew. Yet every year, I see people ooing and aahing over guys that didn't look like anything special (Mond, for example) having a good workout, only to later see those guys wash out of the NFL.

You want to give that one to Bridgewater?

Don't think that's in the proposal, at least not that I've seen. Doesn't sound like they're going to allow kickers to wear numbers in the 90s either.

My guess would be because some players would like to be able to wear their old high school / college numbers. I'm not necessarily a big fan of the idea because I'm a grumpy old man and I don't necessarily want the NFL to look more like the NCAA, but realistically it's probably no big deal.

The Kansas City Chiefs have suggested a rule change to the NFL's Jersey numbering system. According to Albert Breer, the proposal would allow players other than offensive and defensive linemen to wear any number from 1 to 49. Josh Klein commented on some possible Panther choices.

There was word a long time ago that it could happen but I've not seen a single thing from a reliable source indicating that it's happening now. On the flipside, a lot of people are reacting to the news of Roy Williams retiring as if that were an April fool's gag when it's apparently not.

What day is it again?

No mention of Slater?

I know some of our moves cross over into both bold and stupid, but even as a big fan of Jake I have to say that one was just plain stupid. That extension was basically a reward for past service. Hurney and Richardson we're both okay with that kind of move, but smart teams know that's something you never do.

I don't really want to use a second round pick on Mond or any other guy whose ceiling is to be a backup. We could put that pick to a lot better use, like a lineman or a corner.

You're right, though that doesn't necessarily mean they want to draft him.

You know someone. Cool. Many of us on here know several who, for varying reasons, did not go to police. In fact, the majority of women don't. As to the accusers, many of them also reported the stories to friends and loved ones. That includes the SI accuser whose story was checked out by the reporter who wrote it. All have said they feared reprisal, and some reported that Watson made veiled (or not so veiled) threats. If you aren't aware of this, like you weren't aware of other details, I'm guessing you haven't read the cases. You're apparently also unaware that not all of the cases are represented by the same lawyer. The SI accuser has different counsel. Bottom Line: The whole "bunch of b-tches looking for money" rationalization is pretty embarrassing, and again a big reason why a lot of women don't come forward in cases like this.

I'll tell you the same thing I've told others. If you know someone who's actually been a victim of something like this, you might understand how difficult it is for women, even in cases where the person in question isn't rich or famous. Attitudes like "well why didn't you do this like I think you should have" are one of the biggest factors that help make it tougher for victims to get justice.

Ouch. I'm gonna venture a guess and say he saw all of Kyle Pitts' drills.

To be perfectly clear though, I've never really given a sh-t about how fast or how well quarterbacks run. Show me how accurately they can throw a pass and how well they can read a defense. That's really all I need to know. If they've got athletic ability on top of that, cool. If they have athletic ability but can't pass well, not interested.

My thing with Vick wasn't as much his speed as how elusive he was. LG compared his running style to that of a punt returner more so than a runningback. I think that's a good analysis.

I'd forgotten Marcus Vick existed. (I'm probably not alone in that)

With Mond winning multiple Super Bowls. I wouldn't even guarantee he's going to be a starter at the pro level.

Don't remember. I'm going off what I've seen.

Good luck with that.

Aaahhh, don't think I could sign on to that idea. I'd say Fields is significantly better than Tyrod Taylor.

That's a comparison I could see. LG and I were discussing that earlier. Fields might be about as fast as Vick but he doesn't seem quite as elusive.

We're not really gonna have another one of these "I don't believe women if they don't handle it the way I think they ought to" discussions are we? Good Lord

Is Fields "Cam Lite" or is he Vick with better passing skills?
