Big Blue Huddle / Re: Top 4 QB's
Last post by madbadger - Today at 11:12:41 AM
It isn't really hard to emphasize telling a guy like Daniels that he should avoid big hits in the open field. I think it's really a non issue. I'd rather draft a guy who I can tell that he needs to slide earlier than he wants to than to draft a guy who can't escape the pocket in the first place. Then again all of the top five or six guys in the draft are athletic enough to escape an NFL pocket with regularity.

Exactly.

With that said, my hope is that she'll be a change agent for women's basketball. If anyone has the potential to do that, it's her.

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Is Nabers The Deep Threat ...
Last post by madbadger - Today at 11:08:17 AM
Quote from: Philosophers on Today at 09:36:53 AMMy fear with Nabers is his oroductivity is more from catching 4 yard oasses and getting YAC than catching 20 yard + deeper routes.  Anyone have any stats on the distribution of how far downfield he caught most of his passes?

Also how many catches did he make from X versus Z versus slot WR posituons?

Do we need him to be or is Hyatt and Slayton enough? IMHO at 4.35 and with his track record at LSU points to yes but I think we'd be just fine if he isn't. CeeDee Lamb isn't a big downfield threat but I'd take his production in a heartbeat.

"The guy"? No. I would say 2023 firmly closed the door on that, if it was still even slightly ajar. Even if people want to cling to the fantasy of him being a good QB someday, I don't see how "the guy" can ever be someone who gets seriously injured as frequently as he does.

Definitely number one, and not close for me either.

I don't know what McCarthy will be, but he does at least give us a chance of having very good QB play in our near future. Jones simply does not. So right there that's huge for me. I also think Beebe is close to a lock to be no worse than "solid", and it's a massive need area plus the guard market is hot. Finally I like Walker.

Do you feel Daniel Jones can win with the Giants, if we build the right team around him? Apparently there was a survey that said that 76% of the franchise fans voted to move on from Jones while 24% voted to keep him. So 25% of the fans still have some belief that Jones can be the face of the franchise. I don't think Jones is solely the problem, to me he is part of the problem. The list goes on and on to why the Giants are so dysfunctional right now.



I found this interesting on Reddit

Does anyone NOT believe in Daniel Jones as much as me?

https://www.reddit.com/r/NYGiants/comments/18t4ybv/does_anyone_not_believe_in_daniel_jones_as_much/?rdt=48237





The responses are similar to what has been said here, he is one of them:


I certainly don't think he's a franchise QB worthy of the contract he received. I would say 67-75% percentile of starters. Top of the bottom third. I think he can win with a super stacked team.

He's an incredible athlete, almost along the lines of Lamar Jackson. This makes up for a lot of his shortcomings. He can get in a groove and ball out every once and a while.

The problem is, ignoring his injury history which makes it worse, is this:

The game moves slightly too fast for him. This causes an inability to keep his eyes downfield and an inability to improvise outside of the pocket. If a play breaks down, which is going to happen a lot with that OLine, he's running or sacked. The attempt to remedy the issues with fumbling has made this worse. His internal alarm goes off so quick in order to avoid getting stripped. Plays can't develop when your clock is that quick. His pocket presence has improved, but is still mediocre. He cannot step up and make a throw because his eyes were not downfield.

We have seen his best play. His good quarters, not games because he hasn't played an entire game dominantly, are too few and far between. He can't break a game with his talent, and he can't carry a team or elevate the play of others. I will also add that he makes an already bad OLine look worse.

Nope. WNBA players max salary is $235,000. She's gonna make 14 years worth of WNBA salary in one summer if she takes this deal. She'd be stupid to pass it up.

Unmitigated disaster. And it's not like I don't know French words. My mind isn't sharp today as evidenced by the Connections performance as well.
