NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

The Bears feel the same way about Mahomes...

SF traded up and took a backup DE over taking Mahomes (and that was before they had JG).

It wasn't rough at all actually. Allen was not even close to the player he is when he was drafted. His turnaround his one of the craziest in NFL history, there is no guarantee he would be the player he is now in the Browns organization. He came from being a bad passer and bad fundamentals to being a top 3 QB in the NFL now. So really happy for the guy.

I think he'd be the guy we see today had we drafted him though have to admit I didn't want him at the time. No doubt he's a stud.

sure, might not be as good as far as his stats with the garbage we have at receiver but he'd have done just fine....thinking he'd like to work with Hunt.

Browns just weren’t listening to the right people. Here’s QB guru Jordan Palmer calling Josh Allen the most talented QB he’s ever seen. Browns went with the safe and the conventional wisdom.

Jordan Palmer on Sam Darnold's and Josh Allen's progress

Jordan Palmer had the benefit of tutoring Josh Allen and Sam Darnold—both legitimate candidates to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. Palmer dishes on how the quarterbacks have developed, both on the field and off, during their stay at his California House of QBs.

Baker Mayfield was the safe pick?

he also said this...Palmer: Yeah, the one thing I will tell you is, I honestly don’t know who I would take [No. 1 overall]. It just depends on the situation and the personnel. But even still, I think both of these guys have really high ceilings.

 

[dtgold88]

They could always not catch the ball and see if it goes in the end zone though. Clock doesn’t start until it’s touched.

They could but that would be dumb as it could also bounce the other way and be recovered by the Bills.

 

[dtgold88]

Mine was actually:
1a Darnold
1b Baker
2 Allen

I didn't want Rosen and Lamar wasn't in the conversation

Mine was "I don't have the first clue as I don't pour through hours of film nor get to talk to the candidates......just take the guy they think is the best QB at #1."

I did think it would be Darnold until word came out about an hour before the draft it would be Baker. ....and, admittedly, I was not high at all on Allen.

Or out of bounds.

I would add what guy is not gonna prop up the guys he trained? If he was training Rosen he'd have said Rosen should go first.

I'm speechless.

Well obviously we can say now that anything would have been better than what they did. I think the Bills were expecting and protecting against a 40 yard pass. What happened will change things going forward.

Wasn't after the fact for me as I thought a no-brainer to make them take time off with a return.

That said, still a disaster to allow them to score even without taking off time on the KO.

 

[Heatles84]

Eli Apple was shitting on the Saints and Giants fans last night like he's any good so fuck them

Eh, people forgot who Eli Apple is.

 

[Heatles84]

How rough was yesterday watching Josh Allen do his thing knowing that the Browns took Baker Mayfield over Allen?

Browns fans right now

 

[DJ]

Sean Payton hasn't decided if he will return to the Saints in 2022.

Is he losing his mind

Browns fans right now

Like I said I can't fault the evaluation. And year one it looked apot on. Dude made an insane adjustment to the league for year 2. Props to him and his coaches.

Sounds like it.

Truly amazing what some people believe to be true.

If someone had told me 15 years ago that we we'd have all these otherwise perfectly intelligent people get caught up in insane theories and political nonsense I'd have called them crazy

It's remarkable seeing It happen

Right?

15 years ago people still got their news from mainstream media. Different sources had slants and biases to be sure, but nothing like today.

The internet is kind of breaking society.
