  1. 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.
  2. Some related pre-draft hype... NFL Network is going to be wall to wall on the draft this week. (which Also means Lady Cowboy Fan is going to be happy she still has her day job)
  3. Apparently that's what Kevin Seifert's story is about. Haven't read it yet but I plan to. I have the same question
  4. How much does a Sirius NFL subscription cost?
  5. Everybody remember this? I was laughing my ass off at the time, and I probably wasn't alone
  6. I don't really think I'd call what you're doing an "art"
  7. I'll bet you anything there's no "plot against you".
  8. This is new. Can't recall the NFL doing anything like this in previous drafts. Also can't figure how in their "dress rehearsal script" we got moved back to ninth overall
  9. Were you under the impression that I don't think it's going to be Young?
  10. What if one of "these bums" wins a Super Bowl?
  11. Lamar Jackson probably isn't going to like hearing that
  12. I once logged in and saw 100 notifications, all of somebody going through my posts just to poo on them. I got a good chuckle out of it
  13. I think there are some of us here who don't like anything or anyone
  14. Well now at least the new jerseys will have the "process blue" right
  15. Actually looked up the lyrics to that song once. It's even weirder when you can understand them
  16. I'd say the "dum dums" are the ones who think you can make a choice like that strictly by looking at a physical comparison. Thankfully, our people dug a little deeper than that.
  17. The Richardson thing is based in the idea that you can take a super athlete who's only got raw quarterbacking skills and train him to play the position just as well as someone who has all the skills already. It's what the 49ers believed when they took Trey Lance.
  18. Quick note to the folks who take the oddsmakers too seriously...
