That's the kid from the Make A Wish Foundation who got to announce the Lynch pick last night. He's battling a terminal illness. Harsh, dude.
This punchable Carrot Top look alike is a Broncos fan, young banker, excited about the Lynch pick, and thinks Goodell is a "great all-around nice guy" and does not deserve all the boos he's been getting. (NFL's Dameshek on the right).
Oh shit, that's all on me. I switched to NFLN and didn't catch the beginning. Take back everything about the handsome, courageous young man.
Brady's outside deep ball accuracy has been not good for years. I mean, sure, if they could get 2007 Randy Moss for a 4th again they should do it, but I fine with building the offense the way they have. Adding Bennett was a great fit IMHO.
The same comments are made every year by our resident draft experts.
There are no official sources on the record. But it was all over the NFL scouting reports that use only "anonymous" sources. Klemko reported it here in SI, saying two front office executives told him "when asked to explain his declining sophomore and junior numbers … Hackenberg has shifted blame to Coach James Franklin."
They had Moss in 2009, too, and weren't as successful. Some of that was Brady coming off ACL and some was maybe a little decline from Moss, but the other issue was Sam Aiken was their other starter on the outside because they weren't going to spend $40 MM on WRs. Everything kind of fell together with the WRs in 2007 because Moss, Stallworth, and Welker all came pretty cheap, but that's a tough formula to replicate.
I don't know how you can truly judge Brady's outside deep ball when he's throwing it to guys that aren't even average NFL wide receivers. Throwing one deep ball a game to Matthew Slater or whoever that other guy was last year that came in for one play a week, that lands incomplete or hoping guys like Lafell run the right routes doesn't exactly lead me to make any conclusions about Brady. In fact, Brady's deep ball accuracy is about the absolute last reason I would choose to not get an outside deep threat.
Especially to Brady's right side. The completion/success rates on anything over 15 to the right sideline is putrid.
I don't think anyone here is expecting pro bowlers, but I don't know about anyone else. For me, I'd like to see them pick some guys with an actual shot at making the team, filling a depth need, or not picking guys that will be available 2 rounds from now.
That may be true about Cook, but Michigan State didnt seem like a team where head cases were allowed to run amok. They weren't the U. And I hadn't heard anything about Cook's leadership or attitude at all until NFL scouts started harping on it.
Cook is a sullen peckerhead who makes Jay Cutler look like a master leader of men.
Who knows on Brissett, Two weeks ago Mel Kiper said he might sneak into the 2nd, and various others (Chad Reuter from nfl.com is one) has him as a second or 3rd at various points.
Yeah, but each year at this point in the draft, everyone's pulling for them to take, say, some Akron State Right Guard or Arkansas Wide Receiver, like everyone here's dedicated much of their time closely following the Akron State offensive line or the Arkansas offense.
Have the Pats ever picked the typical highly rated draft day fallers? Your Sergio Kindles and so on.
