Here's one legit piece of optimism: thank F we as a group will never have to debate how a person can get mono from a drinking glass again People loved darnold irrationally.

varjet Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Let's say you are an NFL owner at the Owners' Meetings. There is a presentation given on how teams have recently fared with giving out Mega-Second Contracts to QBs. Watson-extended early, got big upfront payment, starting complaining and caused trouble, then got sued 22 times. Wentz-extended early, crashed, traded. Goff-extended early, reached cap, traded. Mahomes-extended early, mega-contract, good talented dude, will probably work out. Rodgers-not second contract, but how he wants out. Luck-extended, then retired. Cousins-3 year contract, then extended. Seems brilliant for both sides. What do the Bills do with Josh Allen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I disagree which doesn't matter but what does matter is another thread is going off the rails. This isn't a fluff piece article. I get what you are saying, they say that about QBs every year, great memory blah blah blah. Quote The next step was the Zoom meetings, and one thing in particular stuck out about Wilson in that setting. While his ADHD was at one point a story line, the quarterback showed uncanny, Rain Man–like recall. It shined through in particular during his Zoom meetings with the Jets, and as Knapp took him through the BYU tape. Or, more accurately, Wilson took Knapp through it. Here is where you are wrong. This isn't Breer saying that Wilson had a great memory. He is saying the Jets coaches said that. Why does that matter? Because they are comparing him to other QBs that they have interviewed over the years. By comparison they were impressed. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Maxman Posted May 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 When my son was meeting with college coaches and we would do tours, he would get a one of one with the head coach (or sometimes the offensive coordinator). He was a center in high school, ended up playing tackle in college but they would do these white board sessions. Coach would diagram a play, a single play, and the coach would talk about it for a minute or two. Basically breaking down everyone's responsibility. Then they throw questions at him for several minutes. They would ask stuff that he possibly couldn't know based on the information he was given. Obviously they wanted to see if he got frustrated, what he maintained but more importantly what his knowledge level was. I would sit there like I did in school, well hot damn I hope the teacher doesn't pick on me today. I can't even imagine what is expected on a Zoom with a guy that you are about to give 35 million dollars to. My point is if they say there were impressed with his recall, I am encouraged by that because the expectation going in is already very high. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to hold him to a standard There really isn’t much more he can do than win with an injured squad like he’s done all year. Now that he’s been a hurt, himself, they’ve slipped. It happens. Far as playoff losses. He’s barely played with anyone worth a damn, CJ is up and down very often. Super streaky. Other than that, he’s had dudes like Evan Turner, Aminu, Pat Connaughton & Maurice Harkless. It’s not like he’s had the warriors teams.

Especially since we know half the board could have done a better job then those dudes but I'm used to the onslaught. It was no different when I was pro Watson/Mahomes and half the board was telling me their bust/4th round picks and they either still believed in Hack, liked Trubisky better or wanted to wait for Darnold. Let me repeat, these same dues railing on me this year preferred; Hackenberg, Trubisky and Darnold over Watson/Mahomes. The Hack love still confounds most of us.

David Harris Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 57 minutes ago, Patriot Killa said: It is. I’ve brought this up before, my favorite sports player of all time, Damian Lillard, he’s 6’2 195, that’s extremely average for a point guard. He got zero offers to big programs, he accepted the one he had that was from Weber State, he doesn’t really get noticed until his senior year, he goes #6 overall to the Trail Blazers and becomes one of the best shooters of all time, most shooter clutch of all time and has millions of game breaking accolades on his record now and he’s only 8 years in. Sometimes the dedication of the craft and the heart measure out more important. I was more excited for the Sam Darnold pick to my own detriment. Sam is a great guy and I think he'll be a solid starting QB in Carolina, I really do, maybe a top 15 guy. He had a great work ethic but he is a laid back guy, between him and Gase we had the lowest energy index in positions of power on any NFL team. Zach is intense. He doesn't drink and never will. He will be married shortly I'm sure and have 10 babies. He is driven and obsessed with football. I worry a little about his locker room fit because he isn't going to ever go out with the guys after practice. I think we have a good locker room which is important and hopefully they bond on the football field and in the meeting rooms and come to respect him as a leader for his work ethic and hopefully his performance because they're probably never going to be super buddies off the field. Again our locker room is full of good guys. No deviants. I was very impressed with the post draft interviews of all our new guys - all (except Echols) seemed like smart, studious, football first guys who would get behind a guy as dedicated to the craft of football as they appear to be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 There's that word: process.

But I have been allowing myself to feel optimistic about this draft just to see how it feels As for Zach wilson himself I'm a measurements guy but there's some aspects of scouting that can't be measured It's like being on the admission office for medical school. This one has straight a's. That one has perfect tests, and another has published research already. But maybe the best doctor is the one who works 72 hours straight and likes doing it. Wilson seems like a dude who works harder than Sanchez and darnold combined and maybe that's more important than being 6-5 or running a 4.3 At least that's the hope. If you find a med school that does admissions that way let me know bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 He's an edgy guy who wants to be great. Lots of guys are edgy and want to be great. He works his ass off to be great. So what lots of guys work there ass off to be great. He's results are off the chart great. That's what seperates him. He has a great release, he throws a great ball and he sees the field and knows why he's throwing to the spots his hitting. Nobody cares how hard he works if he's not getting great results. Nobody cares how smart he is or how good he's recall is if he can't make the throws as easily as he does. He's a dynamic NFL QB prospect because he has amazing physical tools throwing the football and he understands the game and how he can exploit situations with his physical talent. There are a ton of guys with skills, who work hard, are smart as hell and can't turn the knowledge they gain into productive action. Zach has shown up to this point he can.
