I don't disagree you need a serviceable backup like Bridgewater coming in for Brees. They had Matt Flynn for awhile who was good at GB. The issue is they knew Rodgers would freak out because he always has and they moved up in the first round to get Love instead of another WR or someone your HOF QB wanted. He has never in 16 years got what he wanted so he has said multiple times, and then this dude wasn't even the backup it was Boyle. Just a weird situation.
But thy didn't move up. I think that is what triggered him. Also Love is nowhere nearly as highly rated as Rodgers was. I am just saying I can see why Rodgers is pissed, and they are different situations. They actively moved up and traded away picks to get Love, Rodgers just fell in their lap.You're right, Rodgers was picked 24th, Love was still sitting there at 26th
ehh on QB I am not sure. Rodgers, Manning, Marino,, Elway, Big Ben, Cam Newton(did well in Carolina), but for RB I would agree.
As a Dolphins fan, I feel attacked.
I have no stats in front me or data, but if I was betting I would say the list of starting QBs in the NFL in game 1 of this upcoming season has more first rounders than not.
you can just reference Tannehill at Tennessee vs Miami
On another note im assuming you are a Miami Hurricanes fan. Everything i have seen leads me to believe the Bills got a pretty good player at in Gregory Rousseau at 30 in the draft and hearing his interviews sounds like agood kid who will do well in Buffalo. Did you watch him play ? Im happy with the pick
I’m sorry! I have a buddy in Miami and I truly thought the wound was healed after successfully tanking for Tua!
Raw. Quite raw. But has major upside. He benefitted by what was around him, but fell when game tape was examined.
Not really sure who they wanted in that spot. Rumors that they wanted Etienne as a home run hitter in the backfield which i was hoping for. They do need a better pass rush and i like that he has a major upside. At 30 i guess its tough to get someone who can have an immediate impact on a team that has a pretty solid roster returning but if he can develop and contribute at all that will be great. Still hoping for a game breaking running back hopefully Beane has his eyes on one . He has to said the Bills need a home run hitter because we dont have one. Wouldnt mind giving Jaret Patterson a shot i really believe some team will get a great player if they take him. Just want him to go somewhere that he will get a legitimate chance.
He is an amazing kid. He is raw like JB said, but he has talent and is a freak athlete. Dude came in after playing TE and WR and DE in high school at 220lbs, bulked up worked his butt off and had 15.5 sacks in like 9 games in 2019. He needs to develop but his work ethic, character, and ability are there. Phillips is more polished but I think Greg has a higher ceiling.
Those are outliers though. Look at those same “busts” in all QBs taken outside of the first round and it paints a much clearer picture.
Okay now count all the later round QBs and see how they fared.
Yes and no. Salaries are slotted, but if you have to continue to use mid and late round picks on QBs in the hopes to get a good one, you will have to go through about 100 for every 1 that pans out based on only looking back 15 years.
andrew luck was a "bust"?????
