That's tweaking versus reinventing.

Making a QB "fix his motion" at this level, is likely to lead to a JaMarcus Russell level bust. You might be able to tweak things here or there but not many QB's reinvent their throwing motion in the NFL and even succeed after they try.

I believe there is a website that did does an annual draft breakdown that very clearly indicated Mel Kiper was in the middle to lower tier of TV draft analysts. Kiper stands out as a complete idiot for his wildly moronic takes in pretty obvious situations on occasion. Also, the Clausen situation definitely tarnished his reputation as it clearly showed he doesn't have much in the way of even journalistic integrity.

Also if you are comparing Johnston to Calvin Johnson, that tells me you didn't watch Calvin Johnson in college.

I am not sure what you are watching but there is almost no elite NFL ability in that video.

Yes he is.

Yeah and the deck is stacked against modern RB's.

I was going to say, if his injury history continues, I don't think you can say he is a surefire HOFer. That's actually one of the most difficult positions to make the HOF, IMO.

144% of the second year tag is bananas.

And we can tag him up to three times although that third tag is likely to be an insane price.

The injury issues are valid but they are statistically VERY similar on a per game basis. Like, eerily similar. So, it is possible that this is a good benchmark for the deal we might be able to get. It is gonna depend on how much he wants to be here and how much he perceives his value.

Yeah, I was pretty heated.

Have someone withdraw a six figure sum unexpectedly and see how emotionally invested you get in your bank.

This should have been pink socks.

This is bad news. I mean, now the most incompetent owner in the NFL is about to exit. The distance between us and having the most incompetent might be closing.

I mean @Zod's feet, you pervert.

I don't suspect you will see PJ as a long term NFL starter but I do think he may play his way into an NFL journeyman QB spot for the remainder of his career. Which, that's a pretty good life and some damn good money.

If we reach our goal, will you post sensual feet pics?

I mean, that is a 4-3 or 5-3 record at the #1 overall pick for a QB in that span(depends on how Trevor turns out). I will take a 57-63% hit rate all day long.

Pretty much. He has ample time to audition and show he is the guy the remainder of the year. The cap has proven to be a mirage. If we are smart we will be fine.

Icky has shown he has franchise LT potential. But, we don't want to start calling this shot this early in his career. I don't see how anyone can be anything but pumped about it so far.

This is a tough one, TBH. Burns is bordering on being an elite pass rusher but by the same token is also isn't yet an elite pass rusher. He is coming up on his deal but we also have the franchise tag that we can use to keep him around if necessary. So, this is really a bet on what we think of Burns, what we think the Rams will be in 2024/2025 and that Burns will always fit in our defensive scheme. It's not as simple as "fug YEAH, TRADE HIM" or "fug NO, NOT ENOUGH!"

Smith was a beloved all time great, so that situation was a little different. The "lose" is a hindsight argument. That is TBD.
