Fair take IMO. But damn... that game against UGA against the best D this side of the NFL was REALLY damn good though... Honestly, I'm just avoiding getting emotionally attached to any particular prospect. I can fully understand the arguments for and against Young, Stroud, and Richardson. I can see all three becoming very good NFL QBs and I can see all three busting. Odds are ATL east one of them will pan out. I hope the guy we draft does.

To be fair, it's easy to look very accurate when you're throwing to future NFL star WRs who are wide ass open while chilling behind an OL chock full of future NFL draftees. This should give the CJ Stroud contingent some pause.

I thought Mac Jones was a 3rd round talent who was floated by elite surrounding talent in college and simply didn't have the physical tools to make it as a starting QB in the NFL. Nothing about his game impressed me. I thought he'd likely make a good long-term backup. Same opinion on Kenny Pickett.

I think the NFL disagrees on Jones in particular. He's available and evidently no one is biting with a decent offer. That wouldn't be the case of the Bears put Fields on the block. Tua is a good QB but is he gonna last physically? Watching him get tossed around like a ragdoll should be concerning for the Bryce Young contingent.

My concern with Young is pretty simple. Does he translate to the NFL or is he a really good natural QB whose physical limitations will catch up to him at the highest level? I honestly think there are less questions about Stroud in terms of projecting his translation to the NFL. To me, it really boils down this way... Young: You're betting on his natural talent in terms of his feel for and understanding of the game and you think that is more than enough to compensate for his physical shortcomings... and that he can take the physical tolls of playing QB in the NFL at his stature. Stroud: You're betting on the good total package. Good but not great arm. Good but not great size. Good but not great athleticism. Feels like the safest pick of the bunch but might have a borderline top 10 type NFL QB ceiling. Richardson: You're betting that you can help him develop the mental and technical aspects of his game to catch up with his immense physical talent. He and Bryce Young are basically the opposite sides of the same coin. Levis: You should stop hanging out late night with Jim Irsay and consider rehab.

Now do Alabama QBs. The best current NFL QBs from both of these schools didn't finish college at that school. They've both produced plenty of NFL QB flops.

If our guy doesn't pan out and one or more others do it's gonna absolutely suck out loud. Drafting this guy or that guy isn't gonna make it sting any less.

You definitely don't want to run into the wrong cop. A ridiculous percentage of D8 products end up testing with illegal concentrations of D9.

I hope it's improving but yeah... thus far it's been

He didn't get dealt to Seattle. We cut him. He signed with Seattle as a free agent. He retired two years ago signing a one day contract to retire a Panther.

Here it is

Ron, you better just hope my guy Sam Howell can save your ass because the only time you've ever resembled a competent NFL HC is when Cam Newton was doing his best Superman impressions. Now granted, that's still more than Tepper has managed to achieve as an owner but I'm just sayin'...

I mean, Mac Jones sucks. So there's that to consider too. Don't be surprised to see this storyline out of Pittsburgh regarding Pickett after this season.

Absolutely slayed 'em. mid-March through mid-May is definitely my favorite time of year for trout fishing in NC.

Speaking as a former CO resident, D8 is actually illegal there. Probably the same for those other states. Does that make any sense? No, absolutely not. But trying to make any sense out of any of the drug war logic is an act of utter futility.

Some teams have hard and fast arbitrary measurements. Those teams are always going to miss out on the Smitty's of the league. I agree that at some point too small is too small but I think you have to evaluate every prospect individually.

There's no magic bullet evaluation tool. They're all just pieces of data.

You can try Delta-10. It's generally considered even milder than Delta-8 though. Or you can just work on your green thumb.

Yep. It's damn good too. I have an account I drop-off product to on Huntersville. Generally make it a habit of swinging into Ass Clown when I do. Definitely one of the best in the Carolinas.

It's a constantly moving target. Just the reality of a gray market.

#3 would just be brutal.

Trade finalized just before happy hour... ironically, I found out standing at the bar at Ass Clown Brewing in Cornelius when it scrolled across the ESPN ticker. Now let's hope that isn't prophetic and we don't turn out to be ass clowns in this deal.

That's what I'd be saying if I was them too. But would it be shocking to find out that we were bidding against ourselves... again? Honestly, no. That's what ended up coming out after we traded for Darnold too. We were pretty much the only team seriously trying to trade for him. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. End up with a stud QB on a rookie contract with this pick and no one cares. It will have been worth it.

You can always try THC-0. Buckle up if you do.

A lot of Hurney's success with 1st rounders was aided by others' mistakes. Had Brian Burns not been available he was gonna take Greg Little at #16.
