Suspensions for both Randy Gregory and DeMarcus Lawrence. Do they draft DE now?

I think they need to draft some new people to vet the players they plan on drafting.

Norman's tag offer pulled , now a FA. Wow

Trufant/Norman/Alford

That's a pretty sick CB group.

Because it rejects your argument? 6.27 NY/A is not good. And remember as well, not all passes are created equal. If Ryan makesa 5 yard pass for a TD and Mariota makes a 17 yard pass on 3rd and 25 they're not equal.

Better TD rate. Better Completion percentage. Better TD/Int Ratio. Better QBR. Better Total QBR.

NY/A is pretty misleading considering the talent around him. Whereas Winston had a better OL and a two great WR to throw to.

And one of the best RBs in the league.

[yeezus]

Wasn't that stats from rookie year?

Ooooh. Oops.

[yeezus]

Still insane to me that players get suspended for bud, but I'm thinking the Cowboys will go Bosa now. Not pumped about that.

I don't think we have the space, but I could be wrong. Looks to be SF as the early favorites.

Yeah, ol Jerrah running that personnel dept isn't going very well.

Odd comment.

I think Bosa might be the best overall player in the draft, and to get him at 4 is awesome. He or Jack could help immensely. You guys need pass rush juice, and he can rush from the interior on 3rd downs I'd imagine.

Or it has to do with how they play the game. QB Rating sucks. It's basically entirely driven by TDs and INTs. Total QBR is much better, but there's something they see in Mariota that isn't seen in DVOA or DYAR. For the most part they agree on the other Qbs, sometimes they don't. But considering what I can look at, Total QBR saying Mariota per pass was better than Rivers or Carr. Which yeah. No.

by most accounts, Jerry has very little to do with personnel. that's more something ESPN likes to say, but isn't really true.

I just don't love him, and don't like the idea of drafting for need. I want Ramsey, but we desperately will need a pass rush. Jack's knee is too scary.

So who makes the decisions; Jerry's kid? *wink wink

the word is Stephen and some other guy who has an irish last name (I forget his name).

[chop2chip]

They questioned whether or not he would be as accurate at the NFL level, not whether he was accurate in college.

If so, why are you referring to his college accuracy when this was clearly a concern of his NFL ability?

Otherwise, it's semantics.

[chop2chip]

And the validity of that stat just went out the window.

Lol

[Carp]

Lol

Laugh all you want. Doesn't make what I said any less true.

What basis do you have for discrediting the statistic? You didn't like the results, so you dismiss it entirely?

Lol

[Tapate50]

Falcons open to moving back in the first round. Hallelujah.
