I'd probably throw Kessler out there rather than Brock. Brock should be an emergency QB unless he shows some shocking level of improvement in practice.

Going by his rate stats Kessler is just the better quarterback and should win the job anyway if there's a competition.

Yeah, many Bills reporters have come to Twitter to vocally dispute it. https://twitter.com/viccarucci/status/859072716787396609 But THAT SAID, La Canfora was the only one who, I think, was ahead of the Whaley firing story. I'm guessing his source is someone from Whaley's camp?

I really recommend reading this week's MMQB. Most of you dislike King (for justified reasons) but he's at his best when he's doing actual journalism instead of opinion pieces. Very revelatory to see that the 49ers draft team really doesn't know any better than our random goons. A lot of the things they were saying in there I'd seen said by goons in the draft threads over the weekend. They even believe in the stupid superstitious bullshit about Bill Walsh and Joe Montana paralleling this year's draft!!! I mean look at this:  Is this the board of a team of highly intelligent and competent football geniuses who know exactly what they're doing? I don't think this is limited to just the 49ers. I think this poo poo is way more common throughout the NFL than most of us think and that for the most part they're just pretending they know what they're doing. quote:“It was dead,” Lynch said. “No chance. I wasn’t interested. But I knew how Kyle [Shanahan] felt, so I figured I should at least talk to [Williams]. When I got in, I called him. When I got him on the phone, I said to him, ‘Joe, to be honest, I was done with you.’” quote:After a long time on the phone, Lynch had a radical change of mind. quote:“Sheer willpower,” Williams said. “I was running the ball for my sister, I was catching the ball for my sister.”

I enjoy Peter King columns because he is so well connected that you get tons of entertaining quotes and anecdotes that no one else has, the 49ers draft room piece is really good

La Canfora does get big scoops, though, (see the Whaley/scout team firing) so his reports will continue to get some play and he won't ever be dismissed outright. Football's Louise Mensch.

Chiefs exercised Dee Ford's option. Dorsey said 2nd string QB is currently on the roster, which means nothing.

Counterpoint: In what world do the Bears owe Glennon any goddamn loving thing. He's a stopgap QB on a contract which amounts to consecutive one year deals. He's gonna get a year to show what he can do and prove he should be a starter. If he does then great, and you figure it out with him and Mitch.

I think he means Alex Smith's backup (who shouldn't be Mahomes) is on the roster, and it's probably Tyler Bray

Yeah that's fine too then. Unless it's Stave. Did you know Joel Stave is on the Chiefs roster? I did but forgot. And I don't like this new world where I know he's there.

Has there been a situation where a team has traded a boat load of picks to move up to get a guy only for him to be drafted by another team before them. Last year got me thinking what would have happened if the Eagles moved up to get Wentz only for the Rams to draft him. Do teams work out "back room deals" for this not to happen or is it all honour and hope based?

Yes but the mere fact there's a number 2 overall pick sitting behind him that they spent way too much capital to acquire is going to create artificial pressure on his performance. instead of going somewhere he can grow within system, the knives are going to come out for him the first time he stumbles see Brees, Drew except they came out better on the qb trade.

Ches Neckbeard posted:RG3 was already cut. Day 1 is Kessler and will be all season. Kizer doesn't see the field this year unless everyone dies again. Tradition would call for Kessler to start three games before getting hurt and then Kizer start six and not win and then get hurt, and then Kevin Hogan to start 3 and get hurt, just in time for Kessler to return and finish the season and win two games fooling us into thinking there is hope for the next season and winning just enough games to not get an elite QB in the draft.

every time Jamaal Charles played a few snaps last season there would be a report a few hours later about how his knees started swelling. Both knees are pretty hosed, I doubt he will ever really play again, I think Elway is just doing this to gently caress with me personally

This was always going to be a one year thing. His contract was structured from the jump in such a way that he could be jettisoned with the Bears only paying him 16 million for one year. He knew what he signed up for. He was always gonna get one year to prove himself as worthwhile to get brought back to finish out the next 2 years of the contract.

Intruder posted:Players are assets and not human beings Shrug. Life sucks. There is no super competitive position in the world where your job is safe. In those positions you ask to get paid what you are worth, which is what Glennon did. You then prove that you are the best option available while on the job. I didn't say he's not a human. I get him feeling bad, I probably would too, but There are 32 positions open in the world for starting QB in the NFL. And he knows he signed a deal specifically based around the fact that he could be let go after a year, it's not like he got a long term commitment and then suddenly Trubisky was drafted. The Bears aren't going to give someone they just signed the heads up about "Hey we are looking into drafting a QB top 3" because that's a great way to have poo poo leak from an unhappy player.

He's upset and you're here to say "Tough poo poo" over and over No one is claiming his job should be 100% protected, but it's not some moral failing on his part to be unhappy with his replacement being drafted immediately and without any heads up. "Leaks" notwithstanding they could at least say something before the pick is announced or hell, once the trade was made e: I will say you seem to be a bit of an apologist considering you previously claimed third round picks have little to no value so the trade was fine Intruder fucked around with this message at 20:28 on May 1, 2017 |
