Saying he is non elite is an opinion based on whatever metric you have formed in your head. That's not the same as fact.

My immediate reaction is this could mean better days on the horizon but it could also mean more of the same. What I've read about Plotkin isn't encouraging.

Switching Ginn for Shepard was a fireable offense in itself.

But Doug Flutie and Drew Brees!

Oof Kyler Murray comparison. No way we want him running the ball. The man is bound to get decleated sooner or later. See what happened to Darnold against the Falcons.

Welp if he's the pick I'm worried less about weapons and more about beefing up the oline. Not trying to see another Corral moment.

Sign him. I'd still like us to go after one more via trade if possible. If not draft one in the 2nd.

Come on D'Onta...

Now I like the signing even more.

This signing makes me feel much better. Curious to see where Foreman ends up. Now get on the phone about Hopkins

Foreman or Miles Sanders.

We're relegated to considering Brandin Cooks? I remember the Rams losing the Super Bowl to the Patriots because of his drops. Sad state of affairs.

I'm still waiting on those details for the Shaq Thompson restructure. If we hit on our QB and nail the draft while giving our offense some much needed infusion of talent I'll give Fitterer a good bit of leeway but so far much of what he's doing as far as the salary cap goes really isn't all that different from Hurney or Gettleman. Some of the apologists won't want to hear mention of that but it's true.

If we can't get OBJ trade for Hopkins. Patriots are also looking at wide receivers so can't waste too much more time.

21 million for Hurst?

Pretty funny but who knows he could do alright there or suck altogether. Wouldn't shock me either way.

Looks like he holds more CFL than NFL records

Yeah but Flutie was drafted almost 40 years ago. Drew Brees is one of the more rare QB's to do what he did though many Panthers fans have criticized him for being a stat padder. Beyond that you have Russell Wilson who fell all the way off recently and Kyler who the Cardinals currently have a love/hate relationship with. I like Steph he's rare. Though he's kinda becoming a bit arrogant as of late and I have no love for a modern dynasty given I'm a tortured Hornets and former Bobcats fan. But yes comparing him to Young is off the wall and I have to think if Bryce didn't play for Alabama things like that wouldn't be said.

I was fine with us taking a swing on Corral but Matt Rhule was a complete buffoon so he was doomed from jump street unfortunately. Stroud is 1a Young is 1b and Richardson is the wildcard for me. Praising Young is one thing but linking him to future hall of famers in a completely different sport on top of the constant comparisons I've seen to Drew Brees and Doug Flutie is where you can see bias sneaking into the discussion. I'm not putting too much pressure on any of these guys if we draft them this season is going to be a pleasant surprise if we make the playoffs but I'm tempering expectations.
