I guess I'm not as old as I thought I was, although I do still carry a wallet.

Quote from: Philosophers on Today at 10:40:56 AMOption 1 and it's not close.  Live that haul at three important positions.  Walker is a very good WR.  Daniel Jeremiah loves him.  Beebe solves our LG hole with new blood.

I'm a big Walker fan, as well. Not sure he lasts until 70 after his combine performance, but some mocks have him going late third. I see at least 10 WRs going in first two rounds, and it might take guys like Wilson and Pearsall also going in order for Walker to fall to us.

I'd REALLY love to get Fiske, though. Dex, Burns, KT, and Fiske would be an absolute problem for opposing OLs. They'd get so much attention, Okereke and McFadden could roam free.

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 10:02:38 AMYour QB needs to be able to reach you as well.  When I scouted Nabers I noticed Nabers constantly had to throttle back on his deep passes (costing yards and TDs) because Daniels was always underthrowing him.

Interesting observation.  Wonder if Daniels was waiting too long to throw it or just mis-times the speed Nabers was running.

Anyway I still would love to find data on Nabers deep ball catches and from what WR position.  We don't need another 4 yard pass catcher.

Quote from: babywhales on Today at 09:55:11 AMI have heard multiple say that jones was running the most basic offense and poorly at that.  One DC, in fact some even mocked him for his inability to run such a simple offense.



I did not hear that from any of the many former NFL people I listen to.  If you have the name and quote from the DC, I would be interested in hearing it.

Quote from: Philosophers on Today at 09:58:45 AMRich - as you know catching a deep pass is much more different than catching a 4 yarder.  Bodies need to contort more, the timing of when the eyes look up to receive the ball is important, watching the ball come in, etc is what makes a great deep ball catcher.  That's what I want to know about Nabers.  I want to see stats that support this view he can do it.

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Top 4 QB's
Last post by MightyGiants - Today at 10:01:09 AM
Quote from: Gmo11 on Today at 09:49:14 AMA lot of the same things were said about Lamar Jackson when he was coming out.  Too slight of a build, too much running, going to be injured all the time, not accurate. etc.  And what happened was Lamar was just the best athlete on the field even at the NFL level and has won 2 MVP awards.  I'd certainly take that from a Giants QB!  Not saying Daniels is going to be as good as Lamar but I wouldn't write him off just based on that. 

Jackon has been able to complete only one full season out of 6, and he didn't have the wreckless running style of Daniels.

Plus, with Jackson, do you measure your team's success by your quarterback's awards and stats or by the team's success in the playoffs?

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 09:53:42 AMWith 4.35 speed Nabers should have no problem being a deep threat.   From what I have seen, I think the lack of arm strength by Daniels limited Naber's deep production.
