He's not a "winner". He's a mediocre QB on a really good overall roster. He's not good enough to provide any lift. If you're a roster that looks like a 5-7 win team without Jimmy G, you're still a 5-7 win team after adding Jimmy G.

It never gets old.

I'm not talking smack about last year's class. My point was that it takes more than one season to judge a draft class.

Won't lose the game for them? Did you miss the last time Jimmy G was on the field?

That's the danger. What if improvement to mediocrity gets Matt Rhule a 4th year?

You need to wait at least 2-3. After just a year, last year's super strong on paper QB class ain't looking so hot

The only use I have for Jimmy G is to keep the seat warm and help mentor a young guy. Jimmy G ain't the answer unless the question is "how do you strive for mediocrity?"

Yep. Honestly, if I'm Tepper I'm telling them there's no trading of future draft picks without my approval and I'm saying that while knowing but keeping to myself that approval would be extremely difficult to come by.

Should be off the table IMO. Gonna be virtually impossible to get another first and retain next year's first and that should be off the table. You cannot afford to let this crew that might not be here next year trade next year's #1.

That's what Carolina vs. St. Peter's is supposed to look like. Wow. Final Four. Absolutely did not see this coming. House money.

I'm honestly not thinking about next year. I think we're pretty much fuged on the field until Tepper man's up and fires his boy Rhule.

Yeah, an intriguing small school guy. Feels like there's one every draft.

Well, no danger of that. KU woke up at halftime and they're straight up curb stomping Miami in the 2nd half.

When you're already short your 2nd and 3rd round picks, trading down makes all the sense in the world if there's not a "run to the podium" type prospect available. Doesn't mean you definitely do it but I do think that it means you should definitely listen to any and all potential offers coming in.

I think the same brain rot that has convinced everyone this QB class is terrible has also convinced everyone that this OT class is particularly exceptional. Neal has all the measurables you could ever want but isn't considered the slam dunk #1 OT available for a reason. Ekwonu is a terrific run blocker but his ability to take on NFL speed rushers off the edge is a question. There are questions about Cross's physicality at the NFL level. Honestly, I think both these OT and QB classes are fairly typical. Some good prospects but no slam dunks among them.

That would be wild. A perceived down ACC having the most dominant NCAA tourney a conference has ever had.

He's a beast. Perfect old school 3-4 NT.

So basically a typical Marty Hurney draft without the slam dunk 1st rounder Hurney usually go you. Oh wee mayne.

These types of posts always confuse me. That's what this place is for, to talk about football. If encountering differing opinions on football is so triggering for you, why bother with being here?

I honestly try to tune it out. If I didn't I couldn't be an NFL fan. There's nothing enjoyable about watching billionaires fleece tax payers out of millions.

He's just ahead of the curve. If you're not an alcoholic before trying to play QB here, you will be soon.

The NFL does this sometimes. They convince themselves of a narrative - good or bad - and just can't overcome it. The DJ Moore/Calvin Ridley WR class comes to mind. Oh, it's such a bad WR class. No elite prospects. Blah, blah, blah. I'm sitting here like WTF are y'all talking about? There's two elite WR prospects on this class y'all just have your blinders on and can't see it. That's this QB class IMO. Howell is a top 10 QB. Willis is a top 10 QB based on sheer raw talent. Corral and Pickett are typical mid to late 1st round type QBs. The only thing this QB class is missing is that slam dunk "once in a decade" type prospect and people are just all fuged up because of that. It's weird to watch.

The Steelers are gonna sit right there and draft Sam Howell and in three years everyone is going to be looking back and realizing how badly the rest of the league botched this QB draft class while the Huddle is still breaking down upcoming QB prospects because we're still flailing in the wind.

That's what's fuging everyone up about this QB class. There is no Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck or Trevor Lawrence prospect. Hell, there's no Cam Newton either. There's no slam dunk prospect. There's no physical freak that makes you willing to roll the dice. There are just some typical good but flawed on paper prospects that you have to sort through.

I wouldn't hate picking Corral. IMO, he's the best non-Howell QB in this class.
