yes, and those OL drills expose weaknesses like no other drill in football. HOWEVER....Remember Norwell was not good in these drills, but was good functioning as a member of a unit. So it is part of the process--not all of it. SIDESTORY: At an OTA, my sons were getting autographs and Norwell was right beside us, talking to an obnoxious Ebay scavenger. They man wanted a picture after getting his autograph, and Norwell let him. The man said, "Why have I not ever seen you smile?" Norwell said, "I haven't either."

I agree--but the "experts" are saying this QB rich draft would be pricey. With nearly half the league kicking the QB tires...

I am guessing that is what it would take, based on past trades, etc. People need to know how expensive it is to move up--in an QB-rich draft--$$$$.

No--I got where you were coming from---it just made me think.....I went off on a tangent!

This is going to sound crazy, but what if... We realize that signing all 3 WRs here in the next year or so is problematic. The Jets want to take a look at Darnold with some weapons, so they are open to a trade back. We send DJ Moore, #8, #40 and a first rounder next year to NY for #2. Would you do it? NY needs WRs, they can draft a QB and OL help immediately--and they would have an established WR.

I am guessing that we have to be talking to the Jets if we have 1 player not named Lawrence that we must have. And for a QB, I get it. pull the string.

Yes---It was funny how this board reacts. I had a friend who was close to Brandon Beane--BB went to high school where I taught before I taught there. I used to hear insider stuff from my friend--from Brandon---and post it here as a theory. I was often blasted by Huddlers with more knowledge...Verge has been right, for the most part, and we should understand that scouts are not making draft decisions--but they have a community--they talk. I am not suggesting that Brandon revealed classified information, but he would share with my friend insights and insider information about players--I recall that RR and Hurney fell in love with Silatolu because they saw him body slam a 230 lb DE in a DIII game on a video...that turned out well. When I mentioned that Hurney and Rivera discussed players, some Huddlers blasted me, explaining the process to me in detail.

I am seeing Wilson, Sewell there too, but when the dust settles...probably right.

I knew he had 1. Jeez. 31 years old. Still, when I talk about Brady's "type" I guess I am referring to his systems "type." But I was not counting on him leaving.

Read my posts---not sure you are responding to what I am saying

Not sure I follow, but "no'?

I am REALLY looking forward to breaking these QBs down.

Id add Jones too. I really see Brady liking him in this system--not to say he will not like Wilson et al better, but...

Watching tape, but not really for results. Footwork, release, reads, pocket presence, throwing on the run, the route tree, etc. I do not know the answer because I have not looked and in some areas of QB assessment, I have no idea what I am seeing vs. the ideal. Will be fun to take a look

They just don't listen.

Local boy---selling tickets.

OK, I knew what you ,meant with Wilson--call him Daisy if you want to---we are very close in opinion---but I am a bit interested in (at a later time--I think we will have time to break this down later----I really like Jones, and I like Fields, but the OSU curse bothers me. The Dalton comment may not sell him as well as you meant, but I know you are talking skill set, not overall talent or fit. So here is what I would like: What is the reason Wilson is ahead of Fields? Lance ahead of Fields? Maybe later we can compare the QBs like they do on Cars.com. I am of the opinion that Brady could covet Jones because he fits the "mold" he seems to prefer. Here are options (add / correct these) 1. We move up for Wilson (I am guessing Miami has to be the trade. That means we see Wilson as the face of the franchise because we are going to give up next year's #1 to get him and our second rounder to get him. If he is a franchise QB, worth it). 2. We sit move up a spot or two for Lance. 3. We sit at 9 and take Fields. 4. We trade back and take Jones. 5. We pick from the list you provide (Hearing a lot about Slater and Vera Tucker---draft deep at T )

If there is a surprise, it could be Jamie Newman at the Senior Bowl. He will be fresh, he has been working on mechanics for a year, and he will have coaches asking the coaching staffs to play him a bit more so they can see what he can do.

You are right, people supporting Trump. He should be playing golf--living a good life---the US represents 30% of the COVID-19 cases in the world, and only 4% of the population, and he pats himself on the back---encourages people to live their lives again because he is willing to risk those lives to stimulate the economy to get him re-elected. He WANTS to project a "return to normalcy". And if he were not playing golf, he might be attacking 60% of the nation by endorsing "white power" videos and plastering pictures of people removing statues...Important stuff like that--requires technology. He does not need to be in his office to publicly sanction Russia for putting out bounties on US Soldiers--he can ignore that, and focus his attention on white morons with Trump shirts on Golf carts shouting "White Power."

I can't quite recall who it was that criticized Obama for playing much less golf. Name is escaping me....The President leads by example. Playing golf when the nation is dying is not the vibe one might expect a leader to project. It demonstrates that his focus is going to be on chasing a white ball around a manicured landscape instead of being on the pandemic. Look at his twitter today--he is trying to get the people tearing down statues targeted. He is promoting a group shouting "White Power." Was he on the golf course when he tweeted these things? You are right-it does not matter.

This thread is titled correctly-- It will not go away either-- So we must be doing a good job, right?

In your response you blame someone else. You are well trained. About the mirror---I DID. I was a Republican my entire adult life--in that reflection, I said, "Can I support a con man? A corrupt failure of a human? Can I force myself to believe the lies?" I would be happy to send you that mirror with directions. Then again, how would a mirror serve a blind person?
