A Continuous Journey: 2024 NFL Offseason Thread

Look pack at the number of QBs drafted in the first round before the rookie salary scale kicked in. Teams that drafted qbs in the first round literally couldn't afford to be wrong since some first rounders would enter the league as the 10th highest paid qb in the league. Now they'll take a flyer on a guy, hope it works out - or at least keeps the fans from asking about the position for a few years before they have to sign him to an extension or cut bait - but it is WORTH the risk. The funny thing is, you look around the league and how many teams have starting QBs who were still drafted outside the first round - about a third of the league.

 

LOL

 

The number is a lot more than 40. Between the shooting and the fire, which led to the roof collapsing, over 130 have died.

 

Like IGAF where a mock draft had him. If the first QB in the draft isn't even getting remote consideration of being in the top 10 there's is good chance he isn't worth a first round pick.

And the only reason the Steelers bothered with him is because he played college there and managed to have one good season in six years. If he played at... Virginia Tech...they would've skipped him too.

 

133 last I heard. I wouldn't really trust a number that ends in zero or five.

 

Now you are making things up to support your claim. Do better.

 

I'm sure the Steelers were completely oblivious to where he played college and his one good season in six years there and it was just happenstance. Whatever floats your boat. Dude, he isn't on your team anymore, you don't have to pretend like he was good.

 

He is a bust. No doubt about it, but that doesn't make the nonsense you are posting true or the stuff you are making up to support it any more worthwhile.

 

The NFL owners voted to ban the hip-drop tackle, thus moving the game yet another step toward flag football.

 

Your fantasy football roster will be in better shape, though, with fewer injuries. Remember when Clark, Harrison, and others got fined weekly for hits the NFL deemed over the line? Just wait until we start seeing weekly fines for this.

 

You're focusing on the wrong column. The truest measure of a team's assessment of a player is in the guaranteed money ... because the dollar value of the contract provided by the annual salaries (which I assume are still allotted in weekly checks - 17 or 18 of them) becomes vapor when a team releases a guy.

 

That's the part that fans will notice. The other bit is all the missed tackles from players trying to avoid this. It is one more way to tackle that has been taken from the defense, but you will also see players overthinking and caught in between as they try to figure out how to make tackles without drawing a flag.
