NFL offseason thread

Passing rating? Both career and season.

 

Every draft class is the best ever until the next one and every quarterback is the second coming of a previously great quarterback until the next guy comes around.

I'm going to stick my neck out and guess there will be one but it won't be the one we think.

 

The guy who has gotten the biggest free pass in this draft is Zach Wilson - Trevor had his time in the bull ring with "no chip on my shoulder" stuff - Mac, Justin and Lance have been grist for the mill for months. All I know is the Jets have sucked at drafting QBs since Joe Willie and I see no reason to believe they'll "get it right" this time.

 

One thing I've noted is that there's been a number of NFL reporters and anonymous NFL personnel saying this draft class is, in fact, not that great.

 

Dan, when you know a QB is gonna get drafted by the Jets, the only merciful thing to do is wish him well and await the inevitable catastrophe. The News and Post will have Wilson on the griddle soon enough.

 

I think apart from the five quarterbacks and the tight end, people are saying next year's draft will be better in large part because of people who opted out due to Covid.

 

So few people know the first thing about what makes a college player a decent prospect that at some point all of the lead up to the draft is just mind numbing.

 

Maybe my favorite Lions draft pick was John Ford, a WR from Virginia. He was the team’s No.2 pick in 1989, the Barry Sanders draft. He was tall and fast but had a little problem with his hands— he couldn’t catch a cold. His career lasted seven games and five catches

 

Not so much the News now that the players are no longer facing those hard-hitting, in-person questions from Manish Mehta.

 

What a previous management has done is not indicative of the new management group.

 

I will question all Bears decision makers as long as they're hired by Ted Phillips and George McCaskey.

 

C'mon - the Jets are owned by Woody Johnson - who has never been allowed near the family business. I'm guessing it's not because he's a great judge of talent. Think about the people who have received paychecks with his signature on them during his tenure.
