Phobeste posted:Uh wasn't the take actually "don't take a qb below 10 until the picks are meaningless", like picks 10-24 or something? Like if you're too low for one of the top guys, spend the pick better than reaching for a qb you talked yourself into Nope. I think they used pick 75 as the cutoff where it becomes acceptable to take a QB outside the top 10. The subject of BPA vs positional value didn't even come up as I recall.

The subject of BPA vs positional value didn't even come up as I recall. So they used an arbitrary cutoff without discussing the two core tenets to drafting to make a blanket statement that has no logical or empirical bearing to form that bad take? Huh, kinda sounds like your post about them.

Obviously the best solution to your QB issues is to sign the greatest to ever do it when he becomes a free agent. It's not rocket science. Stop wasting your first round picks.

The Puppy Bowl posted:Was listening to the athletic football podcast when this wonder of a take was sprung on me. Nate Tice and Robert Mays agree, never take a QB outside of the top 10 picks. They site the failure rate as too outlandish to even consider it. This is some really backwards thinking. Every NFL starting caliber QB is a outlier and if you have to wait till you get a top 10 pick, or trade a king's ransom in capital to acquire one, you're not giving yourself enough bites at the apple to have a good shot at a starting QB. Yeah but I'm sure Nate had a fun comp to a forgotten Vikings player and a neat story he told about his dad. I love Mays but I am starting to only listen to episodes with special guests. Also, they've started going down a path of "you should only draft QBs with high physical upside and ignore stuff like accuracy, because Josh Allen." But in the same episode, they'll talk about how teams always trick themselves into repeating mistakes made countless times before and how it'll be different this time.

SI profile on Trevor Lawrence. https://twitter.com/AlbertBreer/status/1383452036478365703?s=20 He seems like a well adjusted person who realizes there is more to life than football. But I can’t help but imagine the coverage if somebody like Fields said: quote:”It’s not like I need this for my life to be O.K.” Or imagine if this was said of Justin Fields by his father and highschool coach: quote:His father says, “He’s not award-driven. He’s not, ‘I want to win a Super Bowl at all costs.’ ” Trevor’s coach at Cartersville High, Joey King, says, “There is no doubt about it: With who he is as a person, he could walk away from it tomorrow and be fine.”

Look the only reason the team that immediately jettisoned every ounce of talent after being on the verge of going to the super bowl, who has several franchise passing records owned by david garrard and Blake bortles, whose unofficial mascot is a lady who swam in a pool at the stadium while wearing jeans, doesn't become a dynasty is because Trevor Lawrence likes things other than football

This might be the least talked about number one overall pic I can ever remember, Even with Luck there were people arguing that RG3 would be better.

Yeah it's Lawrence being the anointed number one for so long and I think a part of it is generally the media is taking a wait and see approach with Urban Meyer.

Were Luck and Peyton so hyped from their first year starting in school? Obviously after their senior years they were consensus generational NFL prospects but I definitely wasn’t paying enough attention to college ball in 2011 (and was only 7 or whatever when Peyton was drafted) to know if their hype was as extensive as Trevor’s.

Peyton I believe was, him choosing Tennessee over ole miss was a big deal back then. For Luck, he was a four star recruit so he was certainly not hyped as a future pro quarterback since he was a junior in high school like Lawrence was. I do remember reading the annual fbs season primer Athlon puts out before Lucks redshirt freshman season, which had a quote from jim harbaugh where he very confidently declared he would become the first pick in the draft before anyone had a chance to see him play a game so lol Chucktesla fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Apr 17, 2021 |

I miss the days where prospects would flat out refuse to play for a team, because with all offense intended to the jaguars I'd rather get punched in the balls every day than play under Urban Meyer for the Jaguars.

These Walter football breakdowns are hilarious. He seems to use it as more of a pulpit to go off on random tangents than to actually talk about each individual person. He also has the fuddiest perspective on everything It's hilarious.
