OT: NFL thread

[Krustchev]

It was Count and I told him that college football is almost a different sport, not just a different game, than the NFL.

Mostly for QBs. The offensive systems are completely different. Other positions are easier to project.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

I was not high on him at all. Ever. But I'd love him for a game at the beach.

He'd be a fun guy to hang out with!

I wasn't "high" on him iirc but I figured he would be better than you thought he would be.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Dallas doesn't need a QB.

Nope they need a GM

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

But but I thought our QB was garbage, but we don't need a new one?

 

[Krustchev]

NFL teams do not use top 5 picks to refuel the pipeline. They use them for immediate starters. Dallas won't draft a QB with a top 5 pick.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

He could sit for two years and learn. I would be fine with such a scenario.

 

[CH1]

If I had a top 5 pick, I go for the slam dunk impact player (which is rarely a QB since they miss more than not)


Then I look for a QB with my 2nd or 3rd round pick where value can be had. Like a Russel Wilson or a Derek Carr.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Last time we were first overall took Aikman. Not an immediate impact but....

Granted we don't have Jimmy either.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

I would love Derrick Henry but RB shouldn't go top 5

 

[GGpX]

I'm hoping either for a DB or QB.

Romo's starting to look fragile and he's getting up there in age. If we don't one in the first, then I hope we take one early in the second and let him back up.

 

[Krustchev]

It'll be the usual guard or tackle. They are the "it" picks in the top five.

Depends on the year but if you can grab a great LT you buy your QB protection for 12 years or so

Cowboys are set at LT for a while with Tyron Smith

 

[Lotusland]

Romo is 35 so we need the successor. We need DBs and a coach with balls.

I barely saw any of the game but with a blowout like that and plenty of INT's then Coach Garrett must have been clapping like crazy for his players.

He is such an idiot.

Can Jones lure Bill Cowher out of retirement?

I would also trade Dez for some high picks.

 

[lecoqsportif]

It'll be the usual guard or tackle. They are the "it" picks in the top five.

I thought the Cowgirls had a super terrific O-line?

 

[Habsy]

They must, their homeroom teacher gave them stars for their helmets and everything.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Never fails, year we draft top 5 there are no top 5 QBs to draft

Romo wasn't top 5, neither were Rodgers, Brady, Wilson, etc.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Read this interesting stat about Aaron Rodgers this year. When he throws to Davante Adams, his numbers are mediocre (lots of dropped balls, poor route running).

Throwing to all other receivers, Rodgers numbers are elite.

This one? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/11/27/aaron-rodgers-has-a-davante-adams-problem/

 

[CH1]

Yep. Forgot where I read it. I watch a lot of Packer games and I haven't seen AR this frustrated in years. Teams have also figured out how to bracket Cobb and minimize his impact. The Jordie Nelson injury hurt way more than I imagined. Nelson and Rodgers have this amazing connection that Adams can't even touch.
