Way too simplistic. The are no QBs like the 2 you just mentioned in the entire NFL never mind this crap shoot of a draft. So the other 34 teams might not strike fear in our eyes like Aaron and Brady in the last minute but they still by the most part manage to tear our asses up over the course of 4 quarters. Trading up with the state of this team and miss an opportunity to continue to strengthen this team is insanity in my book and surely as hell not for anyone in this years QB list. I doubt Darnold will be drafted any earlier than 4th any how. He is just a big unknown as the rest. Draft another vet for insurance and stay the course at six for a QB. That is the best path. As I see it, Cleveland has no choice but to go RB with first, Giants might take Rosen at 2 or Allen, colts no QB, Cleveland will go QB with the 4th. So between the 4th, 5th and 6th you might see the rush for QBs, with potentially Mayfield Allen and Darnold sitting there at the 4th spot. Pick your poison.
Hackenberg rising from the dead? The Boston Globe in the sunday NFL page has a bit about him working with the same qb guru that tutored Garropolo and Cousins and apparently he looks great on film. Good footwork, rocket arm.
Yea it's a little concerning when the rumoured top overall QB to be taken does not want to show what he's got throwing wise with the QBs being considered of lesser talent. It did not play into his favour at all.
I agree for the jets anyways....do you think Bowles is going to risk a single game or down for that matter to Hack in a very pivotal year. Last year it didn't matter a loss was acceptable. This year even with extensions being given I think Bowles maybe not so much mac need at least a .500 season to keep their jobs.
Darnold used to be my favorite draft pick Then he got exposed versus OSU...now he won't throw at Combine TBH I feel for the kid ...millions on the line in an NFL career..So who can blame him to avoid the underwear show and set it all up on his own terms ..listen guys as I posted before the Combine can help the Unknowns be noticed but the GAme Film is the REAL evidence barring medical problems... In SD's case the hype is overwhelming and everyone already knows his capabilities at USC So why not put his best foot forward throwing to his own receivers at Pro day
I totally agree but the analysts at the combine...the ones I heard thought it wasn't the best choice. You can look great with your own receivers in a controlled environment but the combine is where you are showing your mojo off infront of your competition. He sat out, in fact was the only one that sat out of the top QBs....that's what made it worse. You know who else looked good on their pro day... Hackenberg.
Couldn’t agree more. He really comes off looking like a Cuck just standing there watching Allen pound his girl.
More click bait, if Cousins has half a brain he won't even visit any other teams, it's between the Vikings and Broncos, oh what will the Media link the Jets to next
Are we talking the same kind of fear others have shown in the past that you may have missed? Peyton was afraid? Stanford was afraid? Luck was afraid? Derrick Carr? RGIII was afraid too? How about Bridgewater, afraid? Tannihill? Manziel, Tebow, Gabbert, Bradford & Matt Ryan were all afraid too?
Why does Cleveland have no choice but to go with Barkley with their first pick? They could, but there are a lot of excellent RB prospects in this draft. They don't have to have Barkley. If there's a QB they really like, they'd be nuts imo to take Barkley and "hope" that the QB they like will still be there at #4. They could get their QB at #1, Nelson, Fitzpatrick or possibly Chubb at #4, and then likely grab one of Michel, Guice, Penny or Chubb in the 2nd round. Getting those 3 would be better than just getting Barkley, missing on their QB choice, and then getting some other player in the 2nd.
Because word around town is Barkley is a once in a generation type talent and they would be foolish to pass on him when the QB class is muddled with prospects with warts. My guess is they take Barkley @ 1 then hope Allen is there at 4. Me personally I feel the Giants would then go with Nelson and the Colts will take Chubb.
It really depends how they rate the QBs, if they rate the 4 closely or even 3 they would be foolish not to take Barkley 1st. It’s the Browns though so you never know but I’m thinking it’s likely Barkley goes 1.
He may be a once in a generation talent at RB, but RB is not more important than QB. If they don't get a quality QB, it won't matter how good Barkley is. Opponents will stack 8-9 men in the box and dare Cleveland to beat them with the pass.
I could see him going there. Good defense and they were a playoff team. I know the players are greedy and the Jets probably have the most to offer. But I think players want to win it all. The four teams that are interested in Cousins. Cardinals, Denver, Vikings and Jets. Nobody on the Jets could start for those teams.
