Just so everyone is clear, the move makes sense to clear cap this year where literally every team is on a budget. I'm more mad that the contracts are so crap that they need to be restructured so soon after they were signed. I'm retroactively pissed.

People shat on the ranking Simms gave Mond, but mond makes full field reads, has a cannon, and can place the ball into tight windows. Consistency is his issue. Can he be coached up to be consistent? I dunno. But Mond has waaaaay more raw talent than Jones does.

They are as of a few years ago. Gamechanger.

What a FANTASTIC contract those were that they needed to be restructured 1 year after the player signed them. Great job Hurney.

To be fair, we didn't have one of those for close to a decade and when we did, he was underwhelming.

Not true. If Mac is truly butthole then we could turn around and draft a good QB the next season much like the cardinals did recently. The rookie pay scale makes it much easier to move on from bad QB's drafted in the first round.

Reading up on jones and watching more and more tape of him, it seems like he has a lot of the nuances of the QB position down (looking off defenders, maneuvering in the pocket, throwing with anticipation) but his physical skillset is limited compared to the other draft picks available (pudgy, unathletic, slow, average arm strength). The dude seems more cerebral than anything. His skillset honestly transitions well to the NFL, however his limited physical skills hinder his potential due to the direction the NFL is trending with strong armed athletic QBs. I'm getting less and less upset at the idea of drafting him at 8, but he is still no where near the top of my wishlist for QBs.

Ultimately we don't know until draft day how this will all shake out. Every year there are surprises so I am looking forward to it.

Honestly, I have never been a fan of our beddazled sparkly silver helmets. Matte black, white, or even the blue would look better with our uniforms. Also we aren't a classic team. The teams you mentioned all had tons of success many many years ago and their brand and uniform style is iconic/immediately related to past successes of their franchises. We don't have that kind of clout. Times change, styles change, and it wouldn't hurt the team to as well. New Unis, or at least new helmets would update the brand and would look pretty cool. I'm all for it. New owner, new regime, let's clean things up and move forward.

Counter argument: We haven't won a super bowl with the old ones. This could change EVERYTHING

How many people actually under contract those years?

What if we take Mac and he ends up being good?

Oh I do too. Don't get me wrong. But right now, if we don't trade up to take one of Lawrence/Wilson and we stay put at 8, will be legitimately happy if we draft Jones, Fields, Lance, or even Mond because it means we aren't content with the status quo and we're trying to improve the most important position on the team. It's not about being right, it's about wanting the guy you take to improve your team.

What I find so interesting is how BUTTHURT people get over these player rankings before the draft even happens. 100 different guys can evaluate 100 different prospects and each list would be completely different. No real way to see how good these predictions are until a few years down the line.

Dude. Stop it. I posted his previous year predictions below this years list where he ranked Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray as his top QBs in the respective classes, as well as an article detailing how he thought Mahomes was the most special talent in the 2017 draft.

Trade up for Wilson plz. I am smitten by the Disney Channel Star.

Dude can only do so much when the QB's we have been trotting out are TD pass avers the past two seasons. Only 33 Passing Touchdowns from our QBs combined the past two seasons. For perspective, Friggin Gardner Minshew, who has only played in 23 games the past two seasons, has thrown 37 alone.

We won't know for years. But still... Honestly he's the dude who's QB rankings I have been waiting on with baited breath. Pobody's nerfect but this dude seems to be able to evaluate QBs and how well they will transition to the NFL more accurately than most.

"Jackson? He is insane to put that dude that high." -People in 2018

Now, Before you all get your panties in a wad over these rankings and talk about how much of an idiot Chris Simms is, Take a look at his track record: 2018 1) Lamar Jackson 2) Josh Allen 3) Baker Mayfield 4) Sam Darnold 5) Josh Rosen 2019 1) Kyler Murray 2) Drew Lock 3) Dwayne Haskins 4) Ryan Finley 5) Jarrett Stidham 6) Daniel Jones 7) Clayton Thorson 8 ) Will Grier 2020 1) Joe Burrow 2) Justin Herbert 3) Jordan Love 4) Tua Tagovailoa The only true "Miss" in these rankings, so far, is Daniel Jones, and even he hasn't really lit the world on fire yet. He didn't make a list in 2017 but he did say that Mahomes was the most special QB talent in that draft. So yeah, discuss homies

Great watch and every single one of those guys could fill a need on our roster next year: Curious to hear what some of you think about these guys, specifically @Verge TL;DW Amari Rodgers Tyree Gillespie Jamin Davis Demetric Felton Tamorrion Terry

Well Teddy is Teddy but another quarterback could be anything. He could even be the BOAT! You know how much we've wanted one of those. I'll take the mystery QB.

Yeah, like maybe, I dunno, 8 times at the end of the 4th quarter throughout the season giving the offense the ball back with enough time to mount a game winning drive in order to win a game? Is 8 times once in a while? 8 times seems like once in a while to me.

fug Britt Reid. He should be in jail
