You should introduce us all to the players who don't want guarenteed money in case of injury... You could field a team with ZERO players

I have no issues with this, he's been a great team player and leader, the team took care of him and he's now done with football.
I dont know what you disagree with because I never said I was against it lol
its not common lingo in NFL contracts and I stated that's why we are Paying him
there are are lots of guys who don't get guaranteed contracts to injury in the NFL

I liked him too but that shows how important personality is to productivity.
I think McD is doing it right by bringing tough, hard nosed, hard working players to make up the majority of the team and sprinkle in some superstars for the rest.
My father always told me that you can't beat availability. And nothing overcomes a great work ethic
so both those fall in line... as for superstars
shady has a little bit of a "me" attitude but he is selfless and team first on the field. He is a sure fire HoF in my mind if he continues for a few more years and I hope he retires a bill

Watch his first throw in the Texas game this year. It is an out route to Washington on the wide side of the field. There is a lot of air under the ball and it ends up barely reaching his wr. There is a lot to like about Rudolph but throws like this make me question what his upside is in the NFL. The combine and pro day will tell us more.
I've seen that game and he has lofted some deep outs in his career
He definitely can work on his arm strength

I understand that but Darnold doesn't. have the constant injuries either. Also, I am not sure if Darnold has many cross field throws right into defenders hands.
An analyst of WGR this week mentioned Rosen's tennis background as a negative and I actually see that too. He is very individual driven. I would label it as a bit selfish and a bit of just not caring. The hot tub instance for example. He knew how much attention it was going to cause yet he still took the all effort to do something like that. He just rubs me the wrong way.
I never really thought of the tennis angle (individual driven)

I agree with this. He reminds me of Jay Cutler/Jeff George
On the flip Cutler was a 48% passer as a Freshmen with 10Tds and 9 picks
and Rosen was 60% 23 TDs and 11 Ints
UCLA was also top 10 in drops this year...
He is way ahead of Jay Cutler

Thanks 716!
Essentially what I'm interpreting here is career backup, and B'lo probably not the right place for the guy
Could maybe even start for the right team
but yea Buffalo probably isn't the best for him...
Daniels was going to start in Philly as the bridge even after they drafted Wentz But Wentz was too good to keep off the field
Kessler may develop like Daniels and be around for a decade +

When I did my QB draft result hashup a bit ago, most of the names that scored2 "Yes" by my criteria were the guys you'd expect: Goff, Wentz, Winston, Mariota, Luck, Bradford, Stafford, Ryan, Rivers, Palmer, Peyton Manning, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Brees, Wilson etc. (That's no surprise: if my criteria hadn't selected those, they'd be poor criteria and I'dve looked for better)
There were two names of late-round QB that I didn't expect, though:
AJ McCarron, drafted in the 5th round in 2014 (I know some folks here have been following him)
Cody Kessler, drafted in the 3rd round in 2016 by the Browns.
Kessler popped up with a 63.8% completion percentage, 6.9 YPA, and TD/INT 2.0 in. Looking under the hood, in 8 losses for the miserable 1-15 Browns his rookie year, he played respectably, even well at times - 6 TD, 2 INT, >65% completions, 7.1 YPA - a couple of low passing games, but also >300 yards in one game and respectable totals in a couple of others.
Can anyone give me some gouge about Kessler in college? What kind of offense did he play in? if you watched either of them play, what was your impression? The scouting reports I found on Kessler said he "fell off" in 2015 from 2014 and that's why he fell in the draft. Also, he's short (6'1"). He seems to have fallen to #3 on the Browns depth chart behind Kizer and Kevin Hogan (drafted in 2016 and signed from KC), who judging by his results does not interest me. Ordinarily, that would be a Bad Sign, but this IS the Browns.
I would expect the Browns to cut him lose assuming they're not "all in" with Kiser and they seize the opportunity to draft a QB high.
Kessler played in a pro styled offense at USC...
hes got pretty good accuracy but not that strong of an arm. He's also not the greatest athlete so he's a short pocket passer.
Hed would be pretty good in a dome
comaprison- chase Daniels

lines up on the edge and can move inside. surely you have seen him.
its one of Kyle Williams best attributes. Pressures. whether tallied or not. I watched them.
everyone will improve when we get Dareus' replacement who needs to be doubledmight as well put the list up for Bills front four and the backups.
and then the run pass ratio per game.geez stats are funny things. But Hughes gets much more pressure and attention (eyes) as compared to Lawson so far. rightly so.
I don't know the run pass ratio but Lorenzo had 13 QB hits.
jerry 11
Kyle 9
yarborough 7
Ryan Davis 7
Shaq 6

I beg to differ. I think he lacks the mental side of things. Watch him in the Memphis game. Puts up numbers but so many bad decisions. He did things that high schoolers know not to do. I think he is in for a rude awakening in NFL. He will need to really put the extra work in mentally.
Every QB in this draft has mental lapses
Darnold just led Div1 in turnovers.

While i personally don’t care whether they trade Shaq or not, I think that sack stat is too simple to tell a story. Neither had enough sacks this year to raise an eyebrow. I would be more interested in how many pressures were generated by Shaq, and in comparison, Hughes. Using sack totals to define pass rushers isn't as reliable anymore with the next gen stats available now. Pressure comes in many forms and Hughes is often shown affecting the QB and the play even if he isn’t finishing it off with tallying a sack.
Jerry had 11 QB hits and Shaq had 6

If I have a concern about Rudolph it is his arm strength. Would have liked to see him compete at Senior Bowl to see how the arm measures up.
There usually aren't many 6'4 230 lb QBs that have weak arms but he definitely doesn't have a howitzer
I think it's good enough and it can get stronger

Yeah. I posted the one for Jackson yesterday in this thread.
Rosen has tremendous arm talent
His ball doesn't wobble , always a tight spiral , good ball placement
He does have a special arm

I'm the opposite all I did was D line and FB, couldn't scout a corner to save my life.
I grew up in the defensive backfield and was a corner / safety / scat back all my life
Dline isn't bad to scout, just tedious . Dareus was one of my favorite players ever that I had the pleasure of scouting . Going to Tuscaloosa to watch a game was a dream. .He really was such an animal coming out. So fast for 315
i wanted him at 3 all day

Interesting, Didnt Know scouts were specialized.
I never played or coached oline/ dline for 1 minute
so its tougher for me to pick out what makes them successful.
i can obviously spot maulers and high end lineman on tape but I don't have the best eye for the nuances

Do you plan on doing some reports on other positions?
Would love to see my boys Leighton Vander Esch and Nick Deluca!
I can if I have time.
DB RB QB WR are more my specialty
not that I can't do oline dline or LBr

I think you should add in White, Rudolph, Lauletta, and Falk. Those guys all have some starter qualities as well.
I did add Rudolph
his report is up

No one is going to argue with this. Hell, I love to see Kim Jung-un playing PG if he could put up 16 and 6 like FH.
Hahaha Frank does seem aggressive but maybe it's because he sat the bench for 2 years?

FWIW, I haven’t heard anything negative about him since last year. I assumed he had cleaned up his act, and grown up a little. Maybe he was just having a bad night?
I saw him kinda grab the ball away from Washington when he wanted the ball at the top and Washington was trying to call out a play
but he's leading the ACC in steals and having a great year and other than tyus, he should have the ball because he's a playmaker and the leader of the team

Frank Howard has a history of being a dick to certain teammates, and allegedly was an absolute douche nozzle to a very high profile recruit while on their official visit.
Good thing he has stepped up his game this season.
There is no senior leadership
Frank is a tough player... if it was that big of a problem He wouldn't be there anymore
They need him to be at the top of his game

Glad sidibe is looking healthy. He’s a great player. Need a guy who can finish around the rim.
by the way, is it just me, or does howard seem like a total jerk with his teammates? Noticed 3 or 4 interactions tonight.
Howard Washington or Franklin Howard?

3 game win streak for CUSE in the ACC!
best game for sidibe in his young career!

From what I've seen, I concur. Prescott seems to need a great run game to build off of.
So if it's not imposing by needing too much answer, what would you look for as a scout as clues that an "air raid" offense QB might transition readily to the pros as Goff (or Prescott) seem to have done?
I would look for poise in the pocket...
ball placement
ability to make throws while being hit
ability to break down defensive coverages
smart decision maker...
and it's still a gamble if they pick up the NFL game

Gotcha, so that would apply to Goff too.
But wouldn't that just give them more props?
Smith took maybe 6 years to start looking like a decent pro QB, Brees maybe 4 to start looking like "all that" - if Goff and Prescott came from spread offenses and picked up the NFL right away, that would be a good sign for spread offense success?
Caveat again: I've read Prescott claims Mississippi State ran a pro-style offense just not from under center. I don't know a thing about what Cal really runs
Cal runs a complete air raid and yes it bodes well for Goff that he's looking good so soon
I think he is a much better QB than Prescott though and think he'll have a much better career

Didn't Dak Prescott play in a spread offense?
I said succeeded long term
Dak isn't exactly a 7-10 year vet
Eric Wood's Cap Hit
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
I said bad lingo left us with a huge cap hit... not that it's bad that we are taking care of wood
having his cap hit does hurt the bills...
and guaranteeing contract because injury is not standard practice... he must of asked for it in the deal
