Is this the end of the S2?

Mahomes sat for a year. Rodgers rode pine for multiple. Manning stunk it up in year one. Brees was trending bust after his first stop with the Chargers. Huddle legend Trevor Lawrence was cheap his first season(and honestly doesn't look like he is trending towards elite).

Sometimes it just doesn't work out the way it looks it was going to. 

Manning was 2nd in voting for Rookie of the year behind Randy Moss.

Sure he threw alot of picks but he flashed just as much. 

Everybody knew the Colts had their franchise guy just had to build around him. 

I'm not sure what we have yet. But right now there's no comparison.

Are you agreeing to the “game” or just naming busts? I’m curious to see how it goes. 

He mentioned rodgers and Bree’s.   A late first and early second but now he just wants first overall.   So yeah.  That’s comical.   There are far more qbs that started out like poo and didn’t get better vs the mythical had a bad rookie year and still turned it around.   So I will play that game naming qbs that were bad year one and sucked all their career vs guys that turned it around.   The odds are heavily skewed toward the former.

So why use Bree’s and rodgers?  Lol.   

Because those are literally all examples of situations/careers that changed over time. I really honestly didn't think that would be that hard to figure out.

Obviously the Huddle is a bit slower than I thought because you aren't even close to the only one to have that go over your head.

It's 3-4 games into these dudes careers. I think we can chill with the hyperbole.

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
