Interesting viewpoint. While overall the RB position has been devalued, Gurley has brought it back to the forefront somewhat. When judging by NFL salaries , after QB it seems to be pass rushers, then WR, LT and CB as the highest paid. If using salary as an indicator of the value placed on players by NFL teams. I get the WRs as the passing game is where the NFL is at these days, but you still need a guy that excels at keeping your QB upright for the WR to put up numbers.

Didn’t he score crazy high on the wonderlic ? It’s unlikely Allen has trouble understanding the offense. Where is this slow delivery myth coming from for Allen ? He has a quick release and a howitzer arm. Holding onto the ball or waiting to long to pull the trigger isn’t the same thing as a slow delivery.

Sam Darnold Officially Named NYJ Starting QB

What if Ryan Groy is an All Pro Center ? Chances are in the same ballpark. -
Sam Darnold Officially Named NYJ Starting QB

Precisely my point. Allen won’t start because he’s “ more ready” than Peterman . Whenever that start is. -
Sam Darnold Officially Named NYJ Starting QB

Is Darnold somehow more “ ready “ to start than McClown ? Obviously , he’s not. -
It will not ruin Allen’s development to start him. It may send him to the ICU though. Look, McCoachspeak said Nate Peterman was ready to start vs LAC last season because of how he looked in practice blah blah blah. Well, he wasn’t. It did not however, ruin him. When Allen eventually does start this season, he will not be more prepared to do so than Peterman. It will simply be time to carry on with the “ process” or whatever.

It’s hard to imagine the opening day starter playing at all in tomorrow’s game.

Sam Darnold Officially Named NYJ Starting QB

I agree with this mostly, although I liked Mayfield. Anyway, the Bills weren’t getting to 3 or higher in all likelihood. If Allen doesn’t pan out in three years, they’ll draft another guy. That’s the beauty of the rookie cap. -
Peterman will never live down the 5-pick half . . .

Yeah, Tyrod was tentative and terrible. But I’m not sure about giving NP so much credit. It was fourth quarter mop up duty vs prevent in an embarrassing blowout. Plenty of guys have put up nice looking numbers in that circumstance. -
Saints trade 3rd round pick for Teddy Bridgewater

Nate Peterman wouldn’t fetch a bag of sweaty jockstraps in a trade. -
Saints trade 3rd round pick for Teddy Bridgewater
Boatdrinks replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I thought he was pretty good when he played previously. Looked decent in preseason this year. He’s a QB coming back from an injury that showed promise before it. By all accounts a great guy too. It was obvious he’d get another shot somewhere other than NY and they got a pretty good asset in return. He was a commodity once they drafted Darnold. -
I recall Jordan Palmer stating that all QBs would benefit by not playing their rookie year. I believe it was at the USC pro day. Anyway, he’s likely not talking so much about improvement that you’d get playing in games. Rather, being better prepared to perform when they do get their first game action.

Makes sense as the guy still has potential. Brees is nearing the end,
