Nah, not even close. But apparently you’re about 12.
Do you know who Elvis was?
Maybe I should have explained who this “Jesus” character is that I referenced.

Here comes Mac Jones! Don't know if I am excited about it, but seems like a done deal. Kind of hope for a surprise with Trey Lance.
This coming from the guy who got so upset he left the board because UNC didn't get in trouble and came back with AFAMU as his handle. No offense, but I'm not taking anger advice from you.
Left the board? Nope. Angry that a school that admitted cheating and received no punishment. Yep. As should every college athletics fan. And if I could change my name back to something else, I would. Cant seem to figure that out.
Can't be real. Seems like something the packers would jump all over seeing how hesitant they are to pay Rogers.
Seems crazy. He's 37, I would have done it in a heart beat. The Packers are good, but I think they are further away from the Super Bowl then what most people think. Rodgers' ability helps cover up a lot of their flaws.
I thought they were better in 2019 than last year. And the 49ers waxed them twice. Including in the championship game where Garoppolo threw the ball 6 times. Of course that probably helped because he probably would have thrown a few INTs had he thrown more.
Doesn't make sense on the 49ers end to give all that up unless they could turn around and get Atlanta's #4 somehow. I also don't want them to be like the rams and have 6 years without a first round pick with nothing substantial to show for it.
Just opening this thread for the first time today. I don't spend a crazy amount of time on football, but enough to keep relatively informed. The biggest knock on Justin Fields has been the fact that he holds onto the ball for too long. You could make the argument that Ohio State has a much more vertical game than just about everyone, and those plays take time develop. Regardless though of how long a play takes, quaterbacks need to have self-awareness and know when to throw the ball away. Fields struggles with that. Here are the other top rated quarterbacks and how they compare with sacks.
Sacks Per Game
Trey Lance, NDSU, 0.69 (2019 stats)
Zach Wilson, BYU, 0.92
Mac Jones, Alabama, 1.00
Trevor Lawrence, Clemson, 1.28
Justin Fields, Ohio State, 2.63 (2.36 if you take the stats from 2019 & 2020)
You could legitimately argue that Lance and Wilson didn't face a whole lot of pressure from defensive fronts. I know Wilson is a decent scrambler and he can connect with a very small window. Haven't seen Trey Lance other than some highlights, but he looks promising. Mac Jones has superstar receivers, as well as two All-American lineman to protect him. But, it's hard to ignore the fact that Jones has the highest rated passer efficiency rating in FBS history. 77% completion ratings and a more than 10-1 TD-INT ratio is ridiculous. Alabama throws a boatload of screen passes, so those numbers are probably inflated a bit. Yards after the catch for Bama was off the charts... Trevor Lawrence has a much lower sack rate, and those two are in very comparable situations, IMO. Fields has a cannon, no question. And he is already aware of this glaring weakness, if he can correct that, he could easily be worthy of being a top 5 pick.
FWIW, here are the numbers for the prior two quarterbacks at OSU.
Sacks Per Game
Dwayne Haskins, 1.43
JT Barrett, 1.77

I really like Kyle and Lynch, I have a hard time believing guys as smart as them would take Mac at 3. I see Lance as the pick
My thoughts exactly. I liked the Darnold trade because it means we don’t have to reach for a QB. But if Fields is available, you almost have to take him. Let him and Darnold duke it out, trade the one you don’t want.
If he’s gone, go Sewell or Slater. Maybe even Surtain.
Every year since about 2010 both networks go to commercial when Jaguars are on the clock. It will be interesting to see if they get creative tonight.
Trey Lance. Hell yeah. And then the Panthers go with a CB, which could be great. But against all projections.
Kinda crazy at some of the QB-WR/RB connections from same college:
Jags have Lawrence/Etienne (Clemson)
Cincy has Burrows/Chase (LSU)
Miami has Tua/Waddle (Bama)
Philly has Hurts/Devonta (Bama, although Hurts finished at OU)

I guess I'm alright with our pick. Surtain may end up being better but I think the potential is there with Horn to be elite. Still wish we would have taken Fields, but it seems like our staff is fully confident Sam is our guy.
Lions screwed us by taking Sewell. I think we definitely take him if available. I still think Slater was the right pick at 8 if we couldn't move down to acquire more draft capital. I think Horn is a good player but I would have preferred getting some protection for Darnold.
Trading him before June 1st is a $31 million cap hit....and afraid to pay him? His deal averages $33.5 million over the next three seasons. He signed a four year extension last season.
Rest of the draft needs to be offense heavy. We have plenty of young defensive talent from last year's draft. Need some OL protection and another weapon or two for Darnold.
Hesitant is not the same as afraid. And I suppose I should have been more clear. Obviously he is getting paid. But the Packers are openly trying to renegotiate the terms of that contract. It's clear that there are differences between what they want to pay him and what he thinks he should get paid even though they just extended his contract. I don't even care enough about it to take a side here. So I am not saying who is right or wrong. I'll assume both are wrong.
I am puzzled by their decision to basically give Bridgewater away. That's a top five backup quarterback with starting experience.
OL and a tight end would be nice. Our secondary is actually shaping up nicely with this addition
S: Chinn, Carter
CB: Horn, Bouye, Jackson
Not bad at all considering where we were a couple years ago
Teddy didn't want to be a backup and he wasn't beating Darnold to start for us. Denver gives him a chance to play.
Excited for my Bears getting Fields. And sad that he's probably already the best QB in franchise history even if he tops out at solid. Hopefully we can clear out Nagy in the near future and get someone that can harness Field's talent. Also lol Packers. Going on 30 years of top 15 all time QB play with only 2 Super Bowl titles to show for it and bitterness with each QB.
Some Colts fans don't like Wentz but the Colts protecting that ass by drafting Ehlinger
Heard he told Wentz that the job is his.
