The Commanders are looking generational

No thank you to Quinn Ewers. I’ve seen enough of him down here in Dallas.

Also feel like Jets fans are sleeping on Jordan Travis. This guy was one of the best football players in the country last year before getting hurt, and you’ve seen the drastic difference in FSU with and without him. It’s the college equivalent of the colts with/without Peyton.

Aaron will likely come back next year which means Jordan will have two years of sitting and learning the mental part of the game from Aaron Rodgers every day, while getting physically ready and stronger for NFL defenses (he was a bit skinny coming out of college but so was Jayden Daniels).

By the time he takes over, hopefully it’ll be a Favre/Rodgers scenario where he’s already had his chance to get acclimated to the pro lifestyle and pro game behind the scenes, and he can hit the ground running.

Not a Travis fan.  I get Brooks Bollinger vibes

This… I just haven’t heard much about him since the draft. His he doing field work or is he still just riding a bike? He is very intriguing. I was happy to draft him. 
But with a new regime next year, as a late round pick, is he a cut candidate?

id love to see him get a shot.

We are defining them "generational" because players want to be traded there?

What does that make the Chiefs, who are undefeated and actually did just trade for Hopkins?

What does it make the Bills, who have the same record and just got Amari Cooper?

The Jaylen Ramsey is a generational QB. Commanders are simply lucky and after enduring decades of Dirty Dan they got a hell of a karma payback. They will be relevant for a couple decades if this kid holds up, book it. 

@The Crusher would’ve known Jaylen Ramsey is a CB and Daniels is the QB because he’s a true believer in the Coms. Just sayin’

this is the difference between hitting at 2 overall and missing at 2 overall 

Or is it the difference between good ownership and bad ownership? Interesting how quick that team has turned around once Snyder was out of the picture. You can look at just about any list and Snyder was almost universally agreed upon to be one of the worst owners in the league.

I work in Ewers home town.  He is a good kid, and a great athlete.  He is also hurt a LOT, he was hurt in HS, and now is hurt in college.  

That is just not a person I want to draft in the first round, let someone else do that.

Agreed, we don't need that here. We have enough trouble getting highly talented, healthy people to perform on the field.

Also - I finally got around to Dan's Bagels just last week and meant to tell you. You were right - 100% best bagels in DFW. We were pretty far back in line and they only had one rainbow bagel left. My 3 year old daughter really wanted it. The owner's wife was passing out samples and she heard my daughter, so she went back and grabbed it and saved it for us. Spoke to her very briefly - she's from Westport, CT - just a few towns north of where I'm from. That place is going to be a staple for us whenever we venture down to the FW area.

I buy a dozen at a time and freeze them, just to thaw as I want them.   The owners are GREAT people, just so nice.  They have a very good Instagram page, and now are setting up franchises.  Next one to go to Argyle.

And yeah, they get busy.   I get there at 7 AM when they open.   (It's kinda easy, I work out in that shopping center, and I live 1.0 miles away)

too bad there were  zero  QB's in our QB draft

So don't pick a qb 

Another one for the file I wanted saquon during the Sam Darnold year 

Take the all pro that's staring you in the face 

And if you are the giants don't be stupid enough to let him go
