I just spelled it out. Apparently some BBMB people think attacking posters while providing no counterargument is interesting.

Why don't you try contributing something? Let's see what you got.

Actually your nothing post seems more representative. Content and idea free.

We're talking about the importance of interception rates so I am giving you QBs that did better than Tyrod last year.

So did Cody Kessler.

Yes, the "can you do the job better" defense. Been hearing this one since Marv Levy as GM, Russ Brandon as GM, Dick Jauron, Chan Gailey, Doug Marrone, Rex Ryan, etc

Colin Kaepernick had a lower interception rate than Tyrod last year.

Whaley strikes me as a weak GM. The issue for me is how much will he push for his vision? If he just likes scouting I could see someone more power hungry filling the void. NFL coaches are control freaks. If you are not a shark they will have you bringing them coffee. As far as motivation, Whaley knew he was on very thin ice after the ownership change. If Marrone had not quit, Pegulas were reported to have been bringing in a czar such as Polian. When the Pegulas needed to find a coach, Doug became the football guy left in the room and Pegulas got to know him. At this point it could have gone either way. Whaley brought the candidates but the Pegulas went with marketing over his call. To keep his new boss happy Whaley played nice and went to get players for Rex. After Rex got fired, Pegulas appreciated that Doug made the right coaching recommendation. And so they had Doug again setup the board. But again, Pegulas fell in love with the wrestler this time. Doug now can play nice with the new owner's hire or... If it was me I would quit, personally.

Spent 3 picks on him to play mike. Might as well see what he can do.

3 picks for Ragland plus 2 out of the first 3 picks in 2017.

5 picks on linebackers in two years?!

Please take him Cinci.

And that person hated Cunningham. I haven't spent much time on linebackers because I don't want one in the first 2 rounds.

Of course. I'll have to look in to Davis more. Someone told me he would be a great mike in McDermott's scheme. Will look into what you mentioned.

Does McDermott's defense really require shedding blocks over speed and range at mike?

That would be another clue, yes.

Do you really think Whaley will be running the draft? I think the draft will give us insight into who is in control. Just like last year when we spent three picks on Ragland told me Whaley was fetching for Rex. If we take a QB at 10 it will either mean Whaley is running the draft or McDermott is more visionary and aggressive than I picture him.

His defenses have become less aggressive every year. He hired Tampa 2 Leslie Frazier to run the defense. He retained the veteran QB for another couple of years. Everyone says they are aggressive until you see them punt the ball from the 42 yard line. Let's see what the draft looks like.

Jarrad Davis is a beast. But I imagine NFL teams would view him as a mike.

Sounds good. Let's hope. But Gregg Williams talked like that when he was hired. The draft will be the next test.

Human Growth Hormone. 40 is the new 30.

Fool me once...

Translation: We are going to keep doing stupid stuff but want to get better at marketing spin and public relations.

The Broncos were going to replace Peyton Manning with Tyrod Taylor in the playoffs? Wow, congratulations. You are a full, card carrying member of the CoT!
