NFL offseason thread

Let's not forget Sexy Rexy!

 

I honestly thought you meant Rex Ryan

 

I always felt bad for Joshua Cribbs. He was this amazing returner. One of the best ever. And Hester was just so overwhelmingly better than that, even.

 

It’s not a good look for Jones, to say the very least. But is age 14 the new record for how far back NFL draft Twitter will go back to crush someone? Does this just keep dropping every year and by 2031 preschool incidents are fair game?

 

Mac Jones also has a DUI from three years ago that we can add to the mix.

 

Wasn't that about the same age as the Josh Allen tweets that surfaced on draft day? I want to say he was 14 or 15.

 

Looks like he would have been 16ish. In both cases the tweets were from 2012. Can’t imagine what was going on that year to make future pro quarterbacks feel economically anxious.

 

I agree with most of that article, but it leaves out one of the main problems for Fields: proving he's not just a product of an Ohio State system that produces gaudy stats for QBs, but doesn't actually prepare them for the pros. In a sense, Fields' biggest hurdle to overcome is Dwayne Haskins, who had roughly the same coaching staff, got drafted in the first round and flamed out.

 

Outside of both being black and going to Ohio State, Fields and Haskins have very little in common. Not from the same area of the country. Fields actually won important games at Ohio State.

I was reading somewhere that's Fields' biggest hurdle, outside of jackasses like Dan Orlovsky gaslighting him in public forums because it's the easy thing to do, is DeShaun Watson and the NFL GM's subconscious that Fields could bring the same problems Watson did. Again they are both black QBs, from Georgia, that will be stepping into a lot of money. Anyone who follows Watson on social media knows that he enjoys the life. And if someone told me that Fields has that stereotype to overcome I would believe it more than comparing him to Dwayne Haskins.

 

David Binn had an exceptionally long career in SD and ran with Pam Anderson for a while.

 

That was a yellow flag for Dak.
