Why does Darnold's throwing motion matter if his release time is adequate and he's accurate, as this video analysis suggests? Darnold is at 6:34.

The Bleacher report keeps referring to this ranking ... https://www.headcoachranking.com/hcr/total-rank/ ... which puts Bowles right in the middle of the pack at 15. It's all click bait.

One other thing to add: There were six Cleveland Browns players picked in this fantasy draft. Six! Are you friggin kidding me? If you really want to think about the hole Tannenbaum and Idzik put is into, think about that.

There's no denying the Jets are lacking in proven skill players on offense. This fantasy draft, whether you think it's bad or not, just is another example of that. We shouldn't be surprised. We went how many years without picking an offensive player in the first round? And all our second round picks during those years were busts. Maccagnan does deserve some criticism for this. The fact that his first two 2nd Round draft picks were absolute busts didn't help his cause. A lot of names in the upper half of that fantasy draft are players Macc passed on in those rounds to pick Devin Smith and Christian Hackenberg.

You'll have to scroll way, way down to find them. I think the main reason is we have so many guys who are questions marks because of injury, off-field antics and inexperience. I could see guys like Chad Hansen be draft worthy next year if he fulfills his potential, but we will see. Same with Neal Sterling, Jordan Leggett, ArDarius Stewart, Terrelle Pryor, Quincy Enunwa, etc. A lot of our skill position guys are going into this year with a lot to prove. DRAFT ORDER 1.

The biggest thing I learned from this article is that Marvin Lewis is still the HC of the Bengals. I just assumed he was finally canned after last season. Didn't he even say he was going to retire at one point?

Considering that's an insanely pessimistic view of the players you mentioned, I'd say the situation is not hopeless.

Yes, our logo does suck and I've always thought that. The 1980s one stinks, too. Using text as a logo generally sucks. The Winnipeg Jets have a cool logo and uniform that uses, you know, like an actual jet. Not the word "jet," just a cool looking jet. The Jets should borrow that novel concept in coming up with a new logo.

McCown’s winning percentage says nothing about his teaching abilities, which, by virtually all accounts, are highly regarded by all those who know him. Some of the best teachers in this league never even played in the NFL, so your argument makes no sense.

Tannenbaum and Terry Bradway (senior scout) making the personnel decisions for the Miami Dolphins delights me to a level I can't even describe. If only John Idzik could be hired as Buffalo GM. The description of Tannenbaum's failings was right on the mark, and it didn't even touch upon his Jets exploits, like the Tebow trade, the endless trading away of draft picks for no good reason, Santonio Holmes ("who's the smart guy who signed him!"), letting Danny Woodhead get plucked away from us by Belichick, the Sanchez extension, etc.

This will be the first Hard Knocks season I watch since "Let's go eat a goddamn snack!"

The idea this is going to go away and that Patricia will go on his merry way as Lions HC, in the post-Weinstein era, is nuts. The media is going to go ape-sh*t over this. Rest assured they'll dredge up the entire case, talking to the former prosecutors who handled the case, the police officers who responded, people who were employed at the hotel at the time and the victim herself if they can track her down. And guess what? That's what they should do. The victim backing out to avoid public scrutiny is entirely plausible. It's also plausible that the story was fiction. The point is that this news has created a whole lot of questions that no doubt will be pursued by a lot of interested parties.

The maturity/leadership questions are bullsh*t. The problem I have with him is that he has the elusiveness in the pocket of a tackling dummy. That and his slight build and injury history is a worrisome combination.

Didn't know Terry Bradway was now senior scout for the Miam Dolphins. Thought he had just faded off into the sunset. I'm glad he ended up with a division rival. 😈
