Coheed

Tearing an ACL is not looked at nearly like it used to. There was no real expectation or indications that his knee would be an issue and he was the top RB in the class. Not saying it was the right move, I would’ve loved the center Pitt took, but it’s one of those “understandable at the time, but looks awful with hindsight” kind of moves IMO

I feel you brother

We drafted Edmund Kugbila years ago just before David Bakhtiari went. no point in harping on what could but didn’t happen. Always been a crapshoot.

When’s the last time a backup qb with a massive media circus worked out? As soon as Bryce has one bad game there’d be a media circus about how shedeur should be starting and i would near guarantee there’d be leaks and reports coming from the sanders camp Backup QBs are supposed to be glue guys that work their tail off and stay out of the spotlight. the only place I can see him conceivably being a backup would honestly be a place where the starter is entrenched like Baltimore. He has way too much media baggage to be a regular backup. same reason Cam wasn’t able to hang around as a backup after his prime

Cams play on the field matched his confidence level, Shedeurs does not

Absolutely not lol

No chance of getting Ez if we don’t trade up IMO

Oh for sure, he would’ve been below Watkins, OBJ and Mike Evans and probably Marquis Lee as a prospect but I think he would be above KB.

Part of my point was the only place I remember him being a “higher prospect” is NFL.com. But, as a huge draft junkie since 2008, I just recall the general sentiments around KB being much lower than TMAC. For instance, Walterfootball had KB going in the second round to Baltimore back in 2014 but TMAC going 12 to Dallas. NFL prospect profiles is the only place I can find being higher on KB, but it’s also over a decade ago so who knows. edited for typos (on mobile)

Profiles on NFL.com are far from the draft community and NFL consensus Also

The only place you’ll find that being the case is in the NFL draft profiles on NFL.com, which are laughably useless (go check out the profiles for Aaron Donald, LaQuan Treadwell, Greg Robinson, or Isiah Wilson) From what I remember him being a low first round type of prospect was pretty consensus as his measurable were great but we was raw as poo, pretty stiff, and body caught a lot. TMAC was consistently in the top half of mocks with a lot of top ten buzz prior, there was only really any talk of him falling lower this last month or so, which I think was mostly prospect fatigue. Happy to be proven wrong though.

I understand the skepticism, but I do think TMAC is way above KB or Funchess ever were as prospects. Neither of them even sniff TMAC in hands (felt like KB body caught nearly everything) agility and fluidity of movement, and route running. No clue if it’ll work out but I get it.

If we do I really hope it’s for Ez out of BC and not Mike Green. Green is a stud as a player but wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole.

Love this thread, thanks man!

graham. fug.

We also gave up more points than any defense in NFL history.

traded down w/ chicago and man....what a pipe dream lol

Anyone upset about a win and Bryce having his career best game because of a difference of two draft spots should sit and spin.

Few things more lame than being upset about a win where your young QB plays lights out and cements his redemption arc on the season lol

Bryce was lights out that drive.

Cut him? lol wtf?

That game vs Washington was the last game I was at. Crazy how much has changed since.

lol bro why are you making poo personal? Cam deserves better.

As much as we suck, man that’s gotta be frustrating for Colts fans. The ability is so clearly there but he just doesn’t have the makeup for it. Taking himself out of the game for what everyone knew would be a handoff says more to me than the stat line tbh, as I think it speaks to his unlikelihood (or likelihood, depending on how you look at it) of ever putting in the work necessary to meet his potential I don’t think he really understands the magnitude and responsibility of being QB1 for a franchise. Also said he was a “great passer” and it’s just like…read the room man. Def reading a lot into a small series of events but it does seem like what will be a deciding moment of his career
