I've never listened to Amani Toomer in the past, but I found his take incredibly interesting. Really smart guy. Probably the best and most honest post draft review, but much, much more

If a rookie UDFA coming off an injury, even a high upside one, challenges to earn a swing T/back-up role that is not necessarily a good sign for us.
Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 01, 2024, 10:29:57 AMAnd if you are being honest you will admit that there are posters who have written Jones off in no uncertain terms. As an example I present @Jclayton92 as the poster boy of this group. He may even be right, but I'm pretty sure he would agree that this is his position. OTOH, I think you'd be hard-pressed to name any poster who is as sold out on Jones definitely emerging as a franchise QB - it is couched more as a possibility, generally on the hope that the OL massively improves. But no one has said he will rise to a top 5/10 QB with anything like the certitude of the detractors.
Quote from: Uncle Mickey on April 30, 2024, 03:33:20 PMNew coaches or GM's that come in that inherit players they tend to treat those players as 'step-children'
At first sign of trouble they want to get rid of them.
Guys they bring in as FAs are like 'adopted children'
And guys they draft are like 'biological children'
See how McAdoo treated Eli, TC with Kerry as couple examples of many.
That said, I still expect it to be Daniel but if Drew becomes Daboll's new 'pet project' it will be interesting if bias enters in the decision making process.

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 30, 2024, 03:13:03 PMCovid seems to have had an impact on smaller colleges. Colleges made a lot of their money on dorm rooms and the like (which are run at a profit). When colleges were remote, that income stream was taken away. Even with the dorms reopening, more students seem to opt for online or remote learning over in-person.Excellent point. I completely forgot about the whole COVID debacle and its effect on small colleges. I think you're spot on. Still sad
My mother still works part-time for a small university in NJ. It's struggling badly, and from what she tells me, it wouldn't surprise me if it goes belly up in the next couple of years.
