I believe he’s Explosive but Josh Allen explosive not Jalen Hurts or better. That’s what I see and got no Vertical or broad jumps to measure it 

Josh Allen has great explosiveness for a QB. Lance is bigger that Hurts with a stronger arm. He might not be as fast, but he has the ability to be a much better QB.

I don't trust these speed/clocks that pop up on the TV at all that are now used to make arguments.  They just don't pass the eye test.    

Take Lance's.  You watch that run they cite and there are kids playing FCS football right on his heels that entire run.   

Daniel Jones? You telling me Lamar never got up to a speed faster than him this season? I just don't buy it. 

But he wasn't clocked using a speed clock. He was clocked using GPS, and say what you want, I've read they're accurate as far as measuring top velocity.

I understand that.  I see it used all the time of late.  

All I am saying is that it doesn't pass the eye test.  I just question if that tech is really as accurate as advertised at this stage.  You got a white linebacker from James Madison on his heels the entire run.  And I am suppose to believe that is Lance is running faster than Lamar pulling away from NFL players? 

I mean it could be true.  The eye test of part of that statement just doesn't jive.  Maybe James Madison is full of track kids.  Who knows.

I think the biggest challenge for Lance will be getting used to the difference between ‘NFL open’ versus ‘NDSU open’.

All you have to do is turn on a highlight reel and you hear the announcer repeatedly say “wide open”. 

This is what some were saying about Tua last season. Tua was so used to his guys having 5-10 yards of separation in college. 

At the end of the day, all 3 guys come with question marks but I trust Rhule and co. to make the right decision.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
