Yeah, a barely above .500 Sun Belt team is "the best team in NC". Nevermind the three ranked ACC teams with better records...

Where did all those App fans go? They sure were loud and proud earlier this season... best football program in the state and all that, if I recall correctly.

Y'all gotta be able to recognize a troll when you see one.

Another bad pick by Mills. Anyone holding out hope that maybe the Texans would go BPA, forget it. They're taking a QB with their very early pick.

He made some tremendous leaps at OU. He honestly didn't look like much at Bama.

The difference in just control and feel of the game between Mills and Hurts is night and day. Mills is a panicker. Hurts keeps cool and keeps his head about him.

Or... get stuffed twice leading to 3rd and 9. Mills really is looking Darnold-esque the longer this game goes. You can watch the panic happen.

Time for play action. Texans are running at will.

Sam Darnold-esque panic INT there from Mills. Terrible decision and somehow an even worse throw.

That was a big time drive by the Texans. They needed that. Felt like the eagles were about to run away with this one. Instead it looks like it's likely gonna be tied going to half.

The Eagles are starting to just take over and dominate now. Texans badly need something on this drive. This feels a lot more lopsided than the 14-7 on the scoreboard.

That and the dropped INT. Kinda feels like the Texans missed their chance to jump on the Eagles kinda sleep walking in the early going tonight.

But what if there's homemade meatballs involved? What then?

Yep. He actually does decently when pressured immediately. He just dumps it off to his check down. It's when his first read isn't open and instant pressure doesn't force a check down and he has to actually start going through his progression... uh oh.

Hell, some of his worst plays are on downs where he has protection. When he can actually survey the field and go through his reads it's usually a disaster. You can literally watch him start to panic as his internal timer goes off and then he does something stupid.

Footwork wasn't fixing Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold's issue is between his ears. He's a panicker. You can't fix panic.

Even blind squirrels find a few nuts.

It makes sense to me. Would you rather him be 6'5" 240? Absolutely. But he's not and he never will be. I'd rather have a baller who lacks ideal size than a dud who looks the part. If he can put on the weight it would alleviate a lot of concerns. No one in Seattle or New Orleans was boo hooing about Russell Wilson and Drew Brees lacking ideal height.

Mel Kiper should come with a "for entertainment purposes only" label. Honestly, he deserves significant credit for creating the hype around the draft but he also deserves significant blames for all the terrible takes year after year of acting like certain prospects are sure things, "plug and play starters", future All-Pros, etc.

We won't care. We'll have decided to keep him and pay him.

Yeah, his value isn't going to go down. He's still a young pass rusher with top tier talent. If we need to trade whim we're not going to have any issues getting excellent return

They didn't offer two 1sts for a one year rental. They would've extended Burns. There's always going to be a highest offer in any trade situation. Did you expect someone to offer more than two 1sts?

Cheap for one year. Any team trading significant assets for Burns would've been planning to extend him. They didn't trade for him due to a lack of effort.

Yes. Because other teams will also be vying for him. A player demanding a trade only reduces the number of potential suitors by one.

Yeah, the franchise tag is really only a two year option.
