    #6 Sam Howell

    Not all back-up are QBOTF. The likes of Trubisky, Wentz and Flaco are not QBOTFs but they are backups, most but not all QBOTF are back-ups, it is quite likely thart Tyrod Tailor is the Jets back-up next season but Jordan Travis also makes the cut as 3rd string QB and QBOTF. I would define a...

    #6 Sam Howell

    I think a lot of Howell's stats are a result of the commanders one dimensional offence. He had the most pass attempts of anyone in the league, and pass attempts is obviously correlated to total yards, TDs and ints. I also think opposing teams learnt as the season went on how to exploit the...

    We need to re-design our analytic system

    You often can't do the what if's even is retrospect. Par for a 4th round pick is to make the squad as a back-up. If Knight gets cut then he failed ot meet expectations and can probably say he was a reach. We will probably never know whether Barner would be available in the 5th though I do...

    We need to re-design our analytic system

    If you know so much more than JS and the rest of the draft team why are you not in charge of our drafting strategy?

    Travis Clayton, Drafted but not played a game of football

    Travis Clayton was drafted by the Bills in round 7 but he has not played a single game at school or college. Grew up in England, playing soccer, rowing boxing and rugby before joining the IPP impressed so much he got drafted. I know players like Max Pircher have joined teams via exrta practise...

    Falcons send contingent to scout Penix

    Could happen if while Cousins back-up the Falcons realise he is not their QBOTF but does well enough to have some trade value. Basically Penix is a Jimmy G / Trey Lance.

    Falcons send contingent to scout Penix

    What I can't understand is Cousins contract, he has $100m guaranteed that is an awful lot if they pan to start Penix in 2025. The dead cap will significantly reduce the strength of the team overall. If they don't think he will be better than Cousins until 2026 they only get 2 years on his rookie...

    Leonard Williams or the 44th pick in round two?

    You can't have a team where everyone is paid over $20m p.a. You have to have the right mix of known stars on high salaries. Competent vets will a low ceiling but able to play a useful role on a reasonably low salary and pick enough rookies on the draft who are able to perform at a high level...

    Schneider tried to trade up for Penix

    I am not sure there is such a thing as a sure fire guy. The closest in the last 15 years or so are probably Luck and Lawrence who were pretty much universally regarded as generational talents. Luck was good but was unlucky with injury and shocked evertone retiring at 29, still early to tell...

    Schneider tried to trade up for Penix

    Or get someone with talent but ended up in a poor fit in the draft that were unable to delvelop that talent. Could Sam Howell be the next Brett Favre? (He is younger than Penix and Nix).

    Pick #16 - DT Byron Murphy

    Can't see him staying that long on the board. The consensus mock draft had Murphey at 9 the second Denfense off the board after Dallas Turner (With Fautanu going to us at 16). If we had traded down to the Vikings so they could take Turner I expect Murphey would go 18 or 19. Certainly not a...

    Please help to compare Sam Howell with '24 QB corp.

    Howell also had more passing attempts than any other QB in the NFL. His interception rate was 3.4% which is better than Nick Milens (5.4%), Bailley Zappe (4.2%), Jimmy Garrapollo (4.1%) and Mac Jones (3.5%), it wasn't far behind Josh Allen (3.1%). There is a lot more to good QB play than...

    How would this change the draft ?

    Barring something spectacular happening (e.g. him getting a career ending injury or being arrested for murder) Williams will go number one. Even if that does happen they will draft Daniels, Maye or McCarthy. Before they got rid of Fields there was a possibility they would trade down (and...

    Worst Case Scenario

    Difficult to tell where they will be drafted, often the teams don't believe the media hype on a lot of mediocre QBs. Milik Willis was expected to be a top 10 pick, often taken by us at 9 and one Mediot had use trade up to 4 to get him. While Johnny Manziel was overdrafted the most of the media...

    Draft day fun

    Depends on whats available but agree that is most likely, a lot of Mocks have us getting Fautanu and deploying him at Guard. The point I was jokingly making was previous picks at a particular position does not indication how good future picks at that position will be. Just because our last pick...

    Can we trade down to 17 to get the next Steve Hutchinson ?

    Off Season Winners and Seahawks

    It is all opinion based by people whi know less than the decision makers in the teams. It might well of teken account of our new head coach, the person who wrote it might think Morris will be a HOF head coach, and gave the Falcons a big score becasue of it. Will Mike improve our team? I hope...

    HC Mike MacDonald on QB Competition

    Unless you have someone like Mahomes there is always a competition for the starting role. Whether it is two guys with roughly similar chances of starting like Lock and Geno in 2022 or an expected starter but if the expected back-up is exceptional in pre season they could get the role. In 2012...

    The 2024 Great Draft Debate

    True but every team gives different players a 1st round grade. According to the report below the Seahawks had less than 20 players with a 1st round grade in last year's draft, however when it got to pick 20 four of them were still on the board so we were able to choose JSN. Not only that but...

    Is the NFL too lenient on PED users

    Not far fetched at all, there is a proposal for an Enhanced Games in olympic sports. The question is what does "correctly managed" mean. The incentives will be to take as much PED as you can without it killing the athlete (from the teams point of view only in the short term, if a player's team...
