Lol. Doesn’t hurt to have legends roaming around during the game.

In alot of my mocks i go two LB’s.

Agree - and those dudes are legends. Crazy how close Gore came to being able to play alongside his kid. At that position too. Not like he’s a kicker.

Tore both his acl’s in college too. Went from “injury prone” to iron man.

If we draft Williams at 2 the sound of me screaming NOOOOOOOOO!!! will be audible on your side of the Atlantic.

I will trust whatever Peters and Co do. If he is there at 2 there is a very real possibility. The only thing that turns me off is his size, but we have seen plenty of taller quarterbacks fail so …,
It is just a refreshing feeling to know Cerrato, Rivera, Snyder, and all the other idiots we have had making decisions are gone.

What’s so depressing is that this article, if anything, downplayed the level of urgency for each of these positions.

To this we’d probably need to add long snapper, kicker, and WR too. It’s astonishing how RR and crew set this roster backwards. When he took over, the roster was better across the board - and in many areas (eg, OL, CB, and LB) significantly so. RR and crew left our cupboard bare. This isn’t going to be a quick turnaround, I’m afraid.

The more I hear about Maye the less I think I like ... Former long time GM watched a lot of tape and saw him live and compared him to Mac Jones ...

Randy Mueller said that... in the end it's one person's opinion, others think he could be another Justin Herbert. We'll see.

I've seen a Mock with 3 different QBs taken at 2 lol

QB is 100% going to be the pick per the consensus anyway

Just finished JD tape. I’m all in. Dynamic athlete, duel threat with a very accurate arm. Arm strength is good enough, it’s not Drake maye level but it’s Caleb level.

I've just about convinced my self that J Daniels should be our pick at #2. I'm no QB expert but I just don't see any negatives that would overcome the many positives he has. The other two possibles have more things about them that tend to erode my confidence in them. Perhaps I'll comment more on their plusses and minuses in a future post. Hopefully, you can stand to wait for my post without peeing your pants in anticipation.

Less than 100 days until Jayden Daniels joins the team. Leggo!

Is it just me or do the opinions about all the top qb's seem to vary wildly? I'm seeing GM's/etc say they love Caleb Williams while others complain that he doesn't love the game/too soft/etc. Same thing with Drake Maye - the physical attributes are great but being compared to Mac Jones is terrible. Same with jayden Daniels. I can't remember the last time all the top qb's had opinions split like this, or maybe I just have a bad memory.

Its the time of year and there are half a dozen teams who would give their left arm for a shot at one of the top three QBs, so as usual you should believe nothing you hear coming from league sources. There hasn't been such a clear cut group of QBs in some time so normally they would not be being hyped so much before we have even had the Senior Bowl. Often, if at all, it is one guy like a Lawrence or a Burrow. Now there are three guys there are always going to be varying opinions. In the end you just have to trust the GM/HC know what they are doing and believe in their own evaluation process. Hopefully we can do that now.

There have been a LOT of Total BUST with top QB picks .. I'm not even sure if it's 50/50 . Remember "Someone"thought Lance was the Guy in San Francisco that was a fail .. yea lucky they got Purdy to soften that blow , and to think every team in league passed on Purdy like 7 times before he was chosen last .. that tells me it's all a guessing game just like this coach search ..I actually could see Sam under different system/coaching being as good as some of these can't miss prospects.. you can't throw a rookie to the wolves in this league and expect good results.. One of these Top 3 Qb will fail you can bet on it !
