Tepper has got to be fuming reading those Justin Fields player of the week tweets lol

Yeah it's hypothetical/situational, but for the relevant past few drafts- 2018-Passed on Lamar for DJ, the narrative was Cam was still healthy, expected to stay the guy but the shoulder and foot injuries messed all that up. 2019-There wasn't a guy, took Brian Burns 2020-Missed out on Herbert, didn't take a chance on Hurts in the 2nd 2021-Passed on Fields because Sam was our "rookie QB"-ultimately the dumbest decision and quite likely because they had to pretend like they knew what they were doing. I at the time would have forgiven that stupid trade if they had just taken the QB when they had the chance, could have saved that 5th year option money as well 2022-There wasn't a guy and couldn't pass up Ickey

Oh we've got a little gang of anti-Fields guys still in denial/or pulling the "who cares he's not our QB" card.

Speaking of the D-line

Where's he projected to go? 3rd or 4th round? He's not eligible for the Senior Bowl so kinda curious if he'll stay in college for another year

Just a heads up

He's allowed 23 receptions on 31 targets so that's 23 of those 27 tackles. That's basically a 75% completion percentage for QB's against him?

I'm not sure any of the pro tankers have identified their QB preference anyway. Their choices are a guy with Doug Flutie measurements or a throwback pocket passer who's pro comp is Teddy Bridgewater

Every single player asked about it said they were overwhelmed with McAdoos playbook in OTA's/training camp. I'm not surprised it's still out of sync, more plays than an average playbook doesn't mean they're better plays, just increases the chances of someone getting confused on the field

Doug Flutie 2.0

I think you and Mel Kiper are the only guys left on the Levis bandwagon

I dunno if i'd want a paper bag over my head during a rain game but give it a shot. The aftermath of that tropical storm/hurricane is on track to hit right around 4pm Thursday through the next day

He's basically PJ walker but 20-30 pounds lighter

Maybe they'll listen to Baldy but prob not. They've made up their minds to hate a guy that every ex player on Twitter is saying he's officially a franchise guy

Nobody is exactly stepping up to challenge him for the #1 QB spot

Tepper was over his shoulder telling him "Now is the time, lets do it". Rhule was the one working the phones

Tepper and Hurney forgot to ask Rhule if he even knew any NFL quality staff. His only NFL guys in year one were Jeff Nixon who he went to college with, and Pat Meyer who had just been fired from the Chargers so he was going to say yes to any O-line job.

Pretty fair updated QB rankings. Still not sold on Stroud but he is the safe/boring pick for 2nd best QB. Levis ranked QB #7 where he deserves after being mocked to go #3 overall for no reason last week https://draftwire.usatoday.com/lists/2023-nfl-draft-rankings-quarterback-bryce-young-cj-stroud-anthony-richardson-hendon-hooker-will-levis/

I'm sure they're hoping they can grab one of those D-line guys, but Ringo or one of the WR's wouldn't be bad for them either. Crazy they can potentially be deep in the playoffs and also have the #6 pick in the draft from the Saints

They brought in Corral last year for a visit, and they're definitely going to lose Minshew in FA. Why they'd be concerned about a 1st round QB I dunno

Yeah Irsay basically blamed the whole thing on Luck retiring while explaining why he fired Reich. And said other weird poo about sausage and sleep apnea. If he came into my bar while I was working I wouldn't serve him out of suspicion alone, he's obviously not mentally well but has so much money no one is willing to step in and have him get actual help

There's more going on mentally with him than just a drinking problem. Those eyes don't look right

Right, TMJ didn't make sense on a practical level. I just mean in hindsight it's easier to understand why it happened, and it was because Rhule is a moron who's narcissism and nepotism got in the way of developing the guy properly. One thing I want to keep track of is Higgins with this "illness" and why he's still not getting any minutes. He went from looking really good in preseason straight to the bench.
