i just looked and they aren't ranked all that high. they are 3-3. they've won 2 in a row, but still kind of far down and about middle of the pack in power rankings. NFL has them ranked 10th in the AFC. both the bills and the jets have won more games and they lost to the dolphins so they are sitting last in their division. that's just weird.

i think we're so used to them being a powerhouse no matter what that we might haven't realized that they aren't anymore.

 

This is so true. Their last two wins were against the Lions and Browns and all of a sudden "they're back"....yet they're in 4th place in their own division. I can't wait until they get their curb stomping from the Bills again.

Marc Jones is not a franchise QB who will ever win a SB as a starter. Almost worse to have a guy like that mid/long term than to have trash at QB like we’ve had. Hard pass, we gotta start working to find a true young franchise guy in the draft.

Who do you like at the top pick this year?

Perfectly normal for even just basically intelligent people to want to understand why something is being done. That's how the fug you learn lol. Durr na just listen to me blindly...its like huh no.....explain the theory, history, or layout of this so we can all get it instead of just you.

I mean that is literally just being basic smart.

I never want anyone's retread scraps again, even if they were good or showed promise. I want homegrown talent at QB. Drafted, coached in house, chemistry with the players from inception.

never-a-fugging-gain.

Yeah that woulda sucked to be a Rams fan and get Stafford and win a SB.

that's great for them and definitely a unique and way better situation / ran team, I personally want to draft and groom a QB rather than keep trying to make other peoples exes work.

do you agree with that or do you want to keep trying to sign cast aways?

Yeah I agree we should draft a QB with our #1 overall. Point was that indeed if its a good/smart team and there is a player/coach you can bring in to help, then you do so. The Rams built their entire poo off trading away 1st round picks for players. Now this will catch up to them obviously and is anything but a long term solution but they have results to show for it

Panthers kept talking about rebuilds but we kept paying and bringing in and trading for players as if Rhule didn't have time, it was inept as anything that's every been done in the NFL.

IMO, Zappe looks better than Jones.  It's only been a couple of starts but I like the way he has been playing.  I think NE nabbed another good QB in the latter rounds. 

Zappe was really good in college. He would have been a first rounder if not for being at a small school.  He lit up App State in their bowl game last year.

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
