For shits and giggles…
Who are examples of 1st round QBs their original team quit on to become a good to great QB elsewhere?

I'd say Tannehill has been at least good in TN.

Jameis could be that guy too.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Browns will actually save money this year on watson once Baker contract is dealt. Watson will only get $10 mil in 2022. Helps him and team. Him if he is suspended he'll lose less and team, of course, as counts less toward the cap. A lot next 4 seasons but cap is supposed to explode.

Trust AB/Depo.

They didn't exactly quit on Watson but to your point...Brees (32nd pick) is a good example

You find anything on his this thing is structured?

Overthecap had something up and then took it down

Probably the best example one could present

 

[fightinfunbags]

Tarheels look great.

If he were coming to the Seahawks, I'd look at it as...hopefully he learned his lesson and will take this 2nd chance as an opportunity to re-write that narrative.

But he'd definitely have to show something before I'd really be able to support him beyond him playing for my team.

some folks talk about Kareem Hunt coming back to the Chiefs. I'd feel the same way...

Totally agree. It'll be interesting to see how many games the league suspends him for to start the season though.

Did you know that Mayfield's only the 3rd QB taken # 1 to be with the team that drafted for only 4 years? The other two are JaMarcus Russell & Jeff George.

And your question. Throw an old name out there. Jim Plunkett.

Didn’t know that stat. Interesting.

I got 8 games, reduced to 4 on appeal.

Baylor in big trouble

His agent should have been proactive last year when he was already sitting to have the NFL speed up their time line on an investigation with a right to revisit if criminal legal action was taken. He was sitting out anyway. NFL could have given him those 8 games and looked tough. Houston should have helped make that happen as well because I would imagine he would have been easier to deal with the suspension being no issue for the team that takes him. In the end, Texans got a great return so in hindsight it’s hard to remember the position Texans were in July and August or even trade deadline.

Baylor in big trouble

The best thing they have going for them is that I’m on NC +5.5 and NC ML +200. Only thing that can save them now is the Funbags Mush. It is both mysterious and powerful.

Baylor doesn't belong on the court with NC. Overhyped team by the media.

They were last year’s champ and brought a lot back. Earlier this year they lost 2 of their top 3 players. It’s amazing that they were as good as they were. North Carolina was a late blooming team. If this NC team played a whole season like this they are likely a 4 or 5 seed. Also, the Big 12 looked really good in round 1 and Baylor put up that record in a very good conference. We fans got cheated with Baylor’s injuries. They were a fun team. Now they’re just very good and not special.

Yep and to say they don't belong on the same court isn't fair.

For me, this is just about how great North Carolina is. Not your daddy’s 8 seed. New coach, some transfers, etc…it took them some time. They’re fucking North Carolina. There is always talent on that roster. It’s about can they come together and figure it out in a team framework. Also…good for Hubie.
