Today's Game

[ECHornet]

If you want the #1 overall pick in 2023, start Cam next year. 
 

The upside is high draft picks and can probably resign DJ for cheap bc he’s stats would be terrible.

They get an entire offseason… not three days of practice.

Scouts say all the time that the practice is more important because they can judge a players intangibles and ability in a one on one setting.

None of these guys are going to come in and save a franchise right away but that doesn’t mean Willis, Howell, Pickett, etc. aren’t capable of becoming an NFL QB based off of this game.

An entire offseason, plus most rookie QBs struggle at first. The only one who looked ok early was Mac last year in a “loaded” QB class (and he ran a basic run first offense).  These scouts are looking at their mental and physical abilities and seeing if some of the best minds/coaches in sports can help mold them into NFL stars. I agree 100%.

But people want to judge Cam based on '20 and '21 and say he's done even though he was in a losing situation both years.

You need help man.

This is why Cam should be the QB.

You either get the top '23 pick or he gets back to MVP form like we saw vs. Washington this year, but brings that each week

If getting a safety let's you move Chinn to LB, is that a two for one?

You think Rhule is smart enough to move Chinn back to LB?

Going back to what you were discussing before, if you're given the choice between "consistently good" and "occasionally great", always take "consistently good".

I've seen "consistently good" turn into "consistently great" way more frequently than I can recall seeing "occasionally great" morph into "consistently good" and eventually become "consistently great".

If you want an example, the hope of "occasionally great" turning into "consistently good / great" is what Matt Rhule was banking on when he picked up Sam Darnold.

Uuummm...

The big losers in this game have been the offensive linemen. I get that this is format is unfairly biased to the defense. The OL and QBs/WRs need more communication work then the defense by and large, but the pass protection and run blocking both have been a struggle on both sides of the ball the majority of the game. Not good for the OL involved.

Might be more of a reason to take an OL early. The depth might not be there.

Hopefully you have the Bengal Tigers winning the Super Bowl in the Chinese Year of the Tiger. In the time of the China virus, when China Joe is President .. when the Bengals have Joe Burrow, and Joe Mixon. I think you need the help moron.

The Darnold move was more of Rhule banking on himself, thinking he was the smartest coach in the league. No one else was that interested for a reason and we were basically bidding against ourselves. The his arrogance jumps to a $18.5 million extension because he was so confident he could “fix” a QB the league had already given up on… If McAdoo really liked Allen and Mahomes the best in their class, he is liking the higher risk/reward QBs. If he is having any influence and we are looking at QBs, Willis probably has his attention. Rhule might be still thinking he can fix Darnold…

A Baylor safety with the pick.
