Lawful Metal Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 As great as Stroud’s been, I’m glad we also drafted Will Anderson. This is fun. Also, hope Stingley back for the Chase matchup with the Bengals. Some LSU on LSU competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Hoo Boy - so... JC Jackson was such a bad signing for the Chargers that the GM actually apologized to the team secondary for bringing him in The Chargers dumped him on the Pats and he is now literally New England's problem Quote Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson, who was demoted from the starting lineup in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, is not expected to travel with the team to Frankfurt, Germany, for Sunday's game against the Colts, a source confirmed. NFL Network first reported that Jackson won't travel for the game, citing questions about his reliability. A source told ESPN that Jackson missed curfew at the team hotel Saturday. SI.com had previously reported that Jackson was late to the hotel. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Also - I had mentioned this at the end of last week's thread but the Giants officially announced that Tommy DeVito will start this week That will set the NFL record (at 10) for most rookie QBs to start in a single season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Notable, Devito is the first undrafted rookie to start for an NFL team ever (in a non-strike year). And for the other New York team, Saleh is sticking with Zach Wilson for now. When Zach gets benched, the current backup is Tim Boyle.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Sheldon Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I saw 6 dead deer on or in the road on my way to work last week. They all had more situational awareness than Zach Wilson. That game Monday night was Garoppolo-level bad. Can't wait to see Rodgers hobbled, again, by that O-line. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Tim Boyle completed 55.5% of his passes with 12 touchdowns and 26 interceptions. In college. How did this guy get into the NFL? In the NFL he's averaged 5.4 yards an attempt and despite apparently never throwing the ball downfield has three touchdowns and 8 interceptions in his career. How is this guy still in the NFL? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 At least Peterman in college threw 47 touchdowns against 17 picks. He's been terrible in the NFL, and I don't know how he's still getting paychecks, but at least I understand how he got into the league in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) Amazon's feed of this game is only showing on a quarter of my screen, which I guess is appropriate, since it's about one-fourth the quality of real football.

Unless there's off field issues I'm pretty sure at least one more team will take a shot at him even if he is a complete bust in Carolina (also, I'd like to see how the plays with better weapons and blocking before I completely write him off.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Almost no Top 10 QB draft pick is gone after three years. Even Josh Rosen was still in the league (somewhere) until last year so he lasted five years floating around. I think you have to go back as far as JaMarcus Russell to find a QB drafted in the Top 10 that only lasted three years in the league, top QB draft picks will always be given more chances than other positions to hold a clipboard or be on the practice squad. So I don't think Bryce Young is going to be out of the league on his rookie contract but how long of a chance he gets as a starter is a different story. Barring injury, I think he'll get at least two years as a starter. One change now since the Russell era is the change in practice squad rules, the fact teams can have a veteran on the practice squad regardless of accrued seasons means high draft picks will be given more chances to just hang around for the year which wasn't possible in the old days. I bet Russell would have found a practice squad spot in 2010 if it was allowed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Yeah - the only examples I can find since 2000 of a QB first round draft pick not playing at least 4 years are either due to injury, off field issues (think Johnny Manziel) or tragedy (Dwayne Haskins) And that number is like 5 or 6 total 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it really that much worse than Rodgers in games with any pressure? The answer is no, not because it wasn’t worse, but it wasn’t much worse. Troy even said it kinda.
