Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: MightyGiants on March 19, 2024, 11:30:16 AMOkay, I reinstalled Tapatalk and it works


At this point, I consider all issues resolved and we are back to running normal

Tapatalk crashed on me.

If not a QB he's been my pick.

It's been my opinion that QB's face the luck of the draw in how their career paths move. I have no doubt that many QB's have had short careers becuse they were in a bad situation as to where they went or in the slot they were drafted. Certainly a First Round Selection gets much more in the way of support, training and in the Offensive Scheme built around his skills. A QB like Brady or Purdy happened into a luck situation where things fell in place. We have seen evidence of a few QB's who have emerged successful after being in the league for many years. The Giants and Daniel Jones are at a pivotal point now in his career but what if Jones was drafted by an Organization that had a weak supporting Staff and Players and gave up on him after three years? Such was the case for Fields. It was the case for Mayfield.

Then there are QB's who were in a College System that masked their weaknesses. At this level, some of them develop and some never belonged on an NFL Field. Tommy DeVito was given an incredible opportunity but he was not prepared and was thrown in there, and he's not likely getting that opportunity again because wherever he goes, he's not going to be developed to his potential. Brock Purdy was ready, Tom Brady was ready but they were also lucky to have been in their situation.

I feel like in this game, anything more than two words found using the hint option is like getting a bogey.

Quote from: MightyGiants on March 19, 2024, 01:46:37 PMMy guess is that Deion Sanders knows that cold-weather QBs have it harder than doom and warm-weather QBs.  I suspect if anyone did a proper statistical breakdown, they would find the cold-weather QBs probably lose 5% off their stats over a season.   

He just sent a message out to any prospective warm weather team that the kid hates the cold and or can't play in the cold. That doesn't bode well for away games.

I alerted Andrew. I'm going to try working with Tapatalk for a bit to test it. Before it wasn't compatible with the latest upgrade.

Starting QB salaries have skyrocketed. The going price for a decent backup at 5 mill is an appropriate price.

Why?

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on March 18, 2024, 07:32:17 PMI knew the purple category, but I couldn't get the last word of it, which is killing me now because it wasn't that difficult.

Also had the general idea on blue although I wouldn't have known the flower connection to that.

I never would have gotten blue. Although I would have gotten purple first but I was cautious.

IMO if the Bears wanted to do the best by Fields, it would have been to keep him and start him next year while the rookie sits for some time.  That at least gives him a chance to raise his value. 

In Pittsburgh he is going to be the backup until they tire of Wilson or they are out of contention which does nothing for him in terms of FA next year.

Apparently they didn't want the distraction. I didn't mean to imply he had a hand in where he was going, but he may have sabotaged a situation or two. He needs a step back. I don't know if he can be a good QB but I think the situation is good for him.

He went to the team where he thinks he can be the Starting QB in 25 next season. In a perfect world, he can learn and grow and possibly get some playing time in 24.
