I also agree, odds are low. but I have won a league with a first round bust, but I managed to get a couple of late round gems and a couple of elite waiver wire picks to make up for it. while I won, I probably shouldnt have. Literally everything (outside of the first round bust) had to go...

I'd agree. he is a must have handcuff if you are a CMC owner.

Like I said earlier. Passing successfully when you are a threat to run is different than passing when you are not a threat to run. the skillset is a bit different. thats why a lot of running QB with good completion percentages struggle a bit once they lose some of that mobility and...

for sure. and if that QB is going to have a longer career. (stress on Longer) they need to at some point transition to be a pocket passer. the running QB takes far too many hits and his body breaks down. Most of these types go down because they cannot stay healthy. and once the injury...

and some of these guys converted to being more of a drop back passer at some point in their career to prolong it. Russell Wilson isnt much of a running QB anymore. and neither was Newton after he left Carolina. Vick and McNabb played(mostly) as pocket passers in Andy Reids offense. McNabb...

I think a lot of fans just want to go out and watch football. outside of the highest paid player (or two) on the team most fans pay little attention unless there is a long holdout over a contract negotiation. more serious fans and people in football pools look at the cap stuff for sure. but...

no I wouldnt compare those guys. guys like Dilfer are the exception because outside of winning the superbowl, he didnt really light the world on fire statistically. he was just an excellent game manager. the star of that show was the fearsome defense and the run game if my memory is...

you have to take it in the context of the era. at that point in time a 55% passer who could throw for over 3000 yards was a solid starter. there were not a whole lot of QB prior to the current era who completed 60% of their passes with regularity. the offenses have since evolved. so...

McNabb was a case of a running QB who could throw the ball. but his career was cut short. My belief is that this was due to injuries. he was mostly done by 30. he had one good, healthy year at age 31 (might have been 32) he only had a fully healthy season once after the year 2005. I...

That is not always the case. some running QB can also throw. But playing as an actual drop back passer is (stylistically at least) a different skillset. Not everyone can make the transition. and yes, some runnning QB cannot cut it as a drop back passer because they really are not great...

8 more years is pushing it for a guy who plays his style.... dude is 26. he is likely done by 30 or 31 unless he transitions his game and becomes primarily a drop back passer. not saying it cant happen. but injuries quickly become a large factor with running QB's like him approach the age...

this. more than 1 superbowl pretty much makes him a lock so long as his career isnt cut short by injury. I honestly dont think the tush push and its presence (or absence) would affect whether he gets into the HOF. Its not the reason I'd vote for him. a Tush push is more a factor of having...

good point. I noticed this too. over the last 3 years or so, Philly likely had the best line in the NFL. but with Sequon there it feels like they use the Tush Push more sparingly now. personally I dont care either way. most playoff calibre teams once they get inside the 1 are able to...

well, I know you have not been especially happy with your past drafting, I'd say you fully nailed it in this draft. well done. Nabers and Daniels both appear to be franchise players. McConkey is gonna be a very good WR. you got 3 long term (likely high end) starters for yourself. in any...

honestly, I looked. unless I mis read this would make him the 8th highest paid QB in the NFL. where the difference between #6 and #10 is about 1M. while I think it is insane that any one player is worth this much cash, in the context of what the salaries are for the position, hes where he...
