I'm sure Bledsoe did at some point. A friend of mine used to work for Lloyds of London, which insured his contract, and apparently he was a raging alcoholic.

I wanted the Chiefs to draft Russell extremely bad. I watched him in college and you could see the playmaking ability. The Chiefs passed on him in the 3rd round to draft a backup right tackle. Are you loving kidding me. They didn't want to spook Matt Cassel by having a QB competition.

Vomit.

Wilson is going to suck the second he’s too old to effectively scramble.

Wilson has barely been scrambling at all this year. His pocket passing has been very good now that, y'know, he has an actual pocket to work with.

He's been having to un-learn to scramble, since he's not used to actually having time.

STRIKE!
Mahomes was a high risk high reward prospect. In most timelines he’s almost certainly a bust but he ended up with Big Andy, arguably the best qb coach of
all time. And then he got to sit for a year. It was the ideal situation.

I still think he was certainly worth a mid-late first round pick for a qb needy team.

Mahomes (and to an extent, Brady & Rogers) is proof that rookies sitting behind a proven QB will pay off dividends.

What I'm trying to say is that Alex Smith is a really good quarterback.

Reid's track record with grooming QBs from Favre to McNabb to Vick to Smith and now Mahomes is super impressive.


kiimo posted:

A lot of the bad to very bad scouting done on Mahomes in my opinion was a guy looking at tape and not watching games and seeing his footwork and shutting the tape down, writing down "bust based on footwork" and moving on.

The thing is that footwork is one of the reasons he is different from other people. He doesn't need his feet to be set to accurately deliver throws downfield from impossible angles. His footwork on normal drop-backs has improved a lot and Kafka (soon to be head coach interviewee Kafka that is) has a lot to do with that. But scouts saw that footwork and said those will be picks in the NFL.

You can't blame them, either, Mahomes is unique in this. Well, Rodgers can do it if he has to, maybe Stafford. Elway did it. But those are the guys they should have been comparing Mahomes to, but instead were lazy and wrote down "Jay Cutler" because they didn't want to get embarrassed.

Off-platform, all arm:




Technically both feet in the air:




Mahomes mechanics were dogshit and the entire reason why he wasn't a #1 overall pick. The success rate of fixing poor mechanics is poo poo, and it's unlikely anyone but Reid, Payton or Belichick could unfuck him.

Probably Allen, since Anderson is listed as questionable because he hasn't made it out of concussion protocol.

Edit: Oh, no, they signed Matt Barkley, so probably him, as Allen was ruled out earlier this week.

You could actually seem him improving his junior year, though (which just happened to coincide with him ditching baseball). People weren't paying close attention because he looked so sloppy the previous years.

I think he was. I never saw a guy like that before where 3rd and long just didn't exist. He never got sacked cause he just felt the rush so great and called his own games and everything. Nobody else was like him. He had only decent arm strength but what he did despite that made him just that much better. I didn't see Marino in his prime.

“Remember we’re a 4-3 team now, we’re not a 3-4, so in the base defense, sometimes he doesn’t fit the role that we need done. No disrespect to Bruce, but he’s an edge rusher and we haven’t had a lead and we haven’t had the opposition behind in the chains a lot, so his role has been reduced. I know he’s frustrated. I’m frustrated and we’ll try to solve that as soon as possible. He’s a good player. He’s a good player.”

I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on Irvin, especially since it's looking like Bosa isn't gonna be back this season at the rate we're going. Having a spare pass rusher is never a bad thing, even if he's not a top tier guy.

Yeah. honestly, just having even a warm body at end who can passably rush the QB is always a good thing, I think. Especially since both our teams run 4-3s.

I also don't believe Marshawn would want anything to do with the Raiders after this year anyway. I think he's done.

The whole reason he left Green Bay was because he didn't see any upward mobility, because Thompson was so well-entrenched with management. Now Green Bay has a new GM who is probably going to have a long leash, at least until Rodgers is done. Wouldn't be shocked to see him try to make things work in Cleveland (and then go to sleep crying every night).
