I'd have to say the only QB prospect with a solid floor is Stroud, but I wouldn't let the safeness of a pick deter.  However, if you're not sold on his arm strength combined with his legs, then that's fine.  I just see a guy that steps in, is totally groomable, and will have a top-5 NFL arm from day 1.  Allen, Mahomes, & Herbert.  He's ahead of pretty much every other starter in that department.  Would have been behind prime-Stafford and prime-Rodgers.  6'4 230, 4.4, 75 yarder moonshots, smart, tackle breaker, ankle breaker, completely moldable.  Is that not what an new QB coach & OC looking to prove themselves want? 

He's also way further along as a QB than I expected after seeing so many pan how awful he apparently is as a passer.  The upside isn't imaginary, but if you're not sold, you're not sold.  That's cool. 

His ball placement was not what I expected.  He had some especially good stuff in the redzone hitting guys over the DBs and only where the WRs could grab it.

 

I think too many people pull AR's stats, see he played for Florida (who has been solid in the past) and think he is a terrible passer.  The truth is Florida was a shell of itself especially as the season progressed and the already weak roster battled through some injuries.  When I actually watched AR play it wasn't hard to see he was holding that offense together and had some solid progressions and ball placement when asked to drop back as a passer.  I really don't think he is as raw of a passer as they are making him out to be.  He needs to work on his footwork in the pocket to prevent some balls from sailing over his targets, but that should be very coachable.  It makes you wonder how he would have looked on Alabama or OSU's roster...

I never liked his officiating but I loved to hear him explain it. He has a unique accent.

Heard tha raiders will tagged jacobs as well.....could have 5th year him, but mcderp is proving hes not a HC....

Plus I heard zeke will have to take a massive pay cut to stay. Thats the deal with these top 5 top 10 RB, if they are great.....you are forced into signing the long 5 year big money deal......then during early 2nd year, they drop off a clip and you are stuck with loads of base salary and dead cap. sooooooo many cases that are just like Gurley......

Is fineserererererer awake??

From the article...

n separate incidents, Jackson Mahomes, 22, allegedly shoved the 19-year-old male waiter more than once and later forcibly kissed the 40-year-old female owner of Aspens Restaurant and Lounge, 6995 W. 151st St.

Police have been evaluating the establishment’s surveillance video recordings from last Saturday night as part of their investigation, restaurant owner Aspen Vaughn told The Star.

Authorities would not release a report of the incident, but provided the following statement in response to a request for information about the status of the investigation:

“The Police Department is aware of an incident that occurred on Feb. 25, 2023, at a business near 151st and Metcalf. The department is still investigating. Releasing any additional information would be inappropriate at this time. Anyone with information should contact the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.”

An attorney for Jackson Mahomes provided the following statement:

“Jackson has done nothing wrong,” Brandan Davies said. “Our investigation has revealed substantial evidence refuting the claims of Jackson’s accuser including the statements of several witnesses. We have reached out to law enforcement to provide the fruit of our investigation so that they may have a complete picture of the matter.”

In an interview and a series of followup texts with The Star, Aspen Vaughn recounted the events of last Saturday, which the waiter also backed up. She also provided a video purportedly showing Jackson Mahomes grabbing her by the throat and kissing her at least twice in her office shortly after 10 p.m.

His advances were unwelcome and shocking, she said, and she believes he was intoxicated.

“He forcibly kissed me out of nowhere,” Vaughn said, “and I’m telling him, pushing him off saying ‘what are you doing?’ and then he proceeded to do it two more times where the last time I was pushing him off and I can see on the cameras that somebody was outside the office door and I was yelling for them to come help because he’s big and massive.”

At 6 foot 6, Mahomes is more than a foot taller than Vaughn, who is 5 foot 4.
