I do get where you're coming from, but Harbaugh actually hasn't drafted an OL in the first before.
It seems like coachspeak/a smokescreen to me. I know these conversations are had ahead of time, but if we move back and try to move forward, I could see us being caught flat footed.
That depends if the Chargers really want to move back. I honestly don't believe they're going to let their promising young franchise QB throw to an absolute trash receiving corps and just run the ball with Gus Edwards.
Yeah, I just don't think it's going to be as easy as moving up for that cheap. Lots of teams want those top 3 receivers. I'm not sold that the Chargers are just going to be happy with moving out of receiver territory and starting Josh Palmer and Quentin Johnson. Or that the Giants are going to...
Took the words out of my mouth.
If JJ McCarthy or Sam Darnold can even be a middle of the road QB next season they probably make the playoffs. With Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones healthy that's an even more compelling argument.
I think the problem is, with Minnesota's roster, if they have a decent QB... we're probably talking about another pick in the 20s like the Texans one. One has to start looking at those picks in recent years and question if we really think we're capable of picking difference makers that late in...
The crash happened at 4:41 AM and he wasn't booked until 2 PM... so likely a late night thing.
Unfortunately tolerance doesn't really even out with the legal limit.
I hope you realize that you're actually also making the argument here that Case Keenum has comparable stats to Kyler, with Keenum holding a better record.
Edit: Kyler has 3 less wins and the same amount of losses as Keenum. Only 6 passing attempts in difference.
Maybe I'm losing my mind here, but I thought someone was giving @Stout a hard time for saying blue chip players, or needle movers, and he started calling them Big Johns as a joke.
The analytics have worked themselves out in modern history, even with Rosen for us. And I'll admit, Rosen would have been my #1 in that draft. So I'd have been wrong.
When does it become evaluation vs. desperation?
Uh, you missed the thread, or the joke. It was basically built on calling guys needle movers or blue chip players, got overused, and so "Big John" became the silly naming convention.
It had nothing to do with race.
I agree with taking MHJ, but not the 4th QB over Kyler. We need elite talent.
I don't think Kyler is the answer, but I wouldn't be replacing him with everyone's 4th choice at the position.
I need to repeat this again... I'm not directly comparing Kyler and Plummer. Neither are all that significant.
Unless something new happens, both QBs will end up in the same tier of "whatever." Murray will not belong on some hallowed "Mount Rushmore" of Cardinals quarterbacking.
I watched the games too. I have no problem with saying Jake was never all that good, but also Kyler isn't very good.
He was considered an up and coming NFL QB early on, and Pro Bowl invites meant more back then than they do now. The guy hasn't won us anything, got a controversial extension, got...
And Kyler let his team down when it counted. Jake had an okay game, they won, and the trajectory seemed like it would go nowhere but up. Kyler came out and did absolutely nothing, besides one of the worst playoff performances this team has seen in the modern era.
I need to be clear here - my...
I do agree that this team as a whole has been in need of better leaders for a while, and the WR room doesn't have it.
I don't think someone out there that's available in the WR room fits the bill, but conceptually I can't think of many leaders in this locker room. I feel like Budda tries his best.
Statistically, maybe, in a different era. Jake beat the Cowboys in Dallas in the playoffs. With trash.
I guarantee you, if Kyler has a bad year this year and we replace him at QB, the overall narrative on Plummer is equal if not better to Kyler, at least as a Cardinal.
Warner, Lomax, Hart, Palmer.
Not excited about it, and honestly I wasn't around for the Hart & Lomax years, but Kyler's got more work to do before I think of him as much more than Jake Plummer.
This is indicative of total incompetence in the past and nothing else. Jameis Winston would be our #3 of all time and he's been a backup for the past four years.
Thanks! Just trying to claw my way back into a normal life since the injury and surgery. Hard to believe I was making well over six figures two years ago and might be taking a $16/hr job today. Work is work, but sheesh. At least my health is mostly back.
Anyways, back to football.
Did anyone here mention that the Texans changed Diggs' contract to putting him into free agency next year?
Now how do we feel? Who wants to give up a 2nd for a one year rental of Diggs instead of a 4-year player?
