Jordan Love just became a star.
Love's stock certainly was a roller coaster this year, way up early, in the toilet just before mid season, and then he went nuts to finish the year..more or less..
He'll be a hot commodity in dynasty offseasons, and a top 5-8 drafted QB in re drafts.
The question will be, do you buy hoping you've got the next Aaron Rodgers, or do you sell to cash in on what was most likely a waiver pickup or throw in to a trade?


I don't understand what it is with my Cowboys..
Romo or Dak, MM or Garrett, results are the same, they just suck in the post season.

Now I'm really worried that Jerra is gonna do something extra stupid like fire MM, trade Dak, and turn to Lance.

Wonder what this did to Dan Quinn's shot at betting a head coach elsewhere? Was kinda hoping he'd be the guy if Jerra fired MM, but I doubt that now.

Ughh

I own Love in 2 dynasty league (as you know) and despite the stellar performances, I'm still kind of undecided at this point. In the Cowboys game the 3 TD's were to WIDE open receivers so there really wasn't much special about those throws. Albeit, he does seem composed even under pressure, certainly has the trust of his coach and team-mates, and seems to find those open guys regularly - but at the same time, he throws off his backfoot much more than I'd prefer - maybe a function of guys being so open (or it's a flaw). Of course, I had the same type reservation on Stafford with too much side arm stuff being the issue (for me) - yet he's been pretty darn for successful in his career. Perhaps a flash-in-the-pan or long term solution - we'll find out. He's a hold for me at this point.
As for the 'Boys, never have been able to figure out the issue there - they always have the talent but barring a few instances it just never seems to come together like you'd think. ....

Well, don't really understand PHI either - - perhaps they should play the 'Boys in a someone-has-to-win consolation game. ...

It's almost like some rich fan is running the team instead of football guys.

I just watched Draft Day - - Jer reminds me of the guy who ended up with Bo Callahan. ......

yeah, however, he'd have never been smart enough to score the 3 #1's for the 1.1 to start with though. Now...Jimmy Johnson might have been savvy enough to do so, and he'd have never traded 'em back.

no one would've traded them back, it ruined the movie
ruined the realism of the movie..but Sonny had to have redemption, or it would've just been a sad movie about a guy who got fired from a great paying job with a baby on the way.

Edited..btw..I wouldn't say no one..Jerra would probably do it..maybe Ditka if RIcky Williams was available

Lombardi Lenny is a free agent again - how poetic would it be if the Buc's resigned him and they shock the world? Baker could make more commercials agian!

You have to just suspend belief in that movie anyway because really none of it makes sense. You don't trade up to 1 unless you are sure you are getting your quarterback of the future, not to just draft a guy you could have got if you stayed put at 9 in the first place. He got his 1st's back (completely unrealistically) but still traded three 2nds for essentially the 6th pick of the draft (also completely unrealistically) to draft a running back which would never have happened in real life.

unfortunately I do believe the movie absolutely nailed the fact that NFL GMs don't know a damn thing on draft day and they all pretend like they do

I don’t think that’s a fair statement at all.

I think the problem with the draft is that we are so focused on results that we forget the methodology.

Sometimes the results show the consensus to be wrong. But being wrong on draft day is very different than being wrong years later.

The real problem is not the players themselves. Although it could be. But it’s how the coaching uses them. If the coaches are not willing to adapt to the player then they will almost always draft wrong.

I mean how often do we see players of less talent outperform players with more. Puka Nacua is a perfect example. Do you think he is the best receiver in that class?? Or do you think he went to the perfect team that used him the best??
