Mendoza has 3 seasons of over 250 passes
Simpson has 1 such season.

Simpson is the much bigger question mark right now due to lack of experience.

I think people need to have patience with the rookies. They are hitting a rookie wall like what most rookies do. They have never played this many games nor at this level before. It will take a toll on you. Give them time. Queen is going to be alright !


This. Especially NBA rookies. They have a lot of physical growing to do. DQ will be fine.

I go back and forth on Queen. He’s talented, but he’ll have a couple stretches per game where he looks awful. Lazy passes, not boxing out, just standing around, dumb decisions with the ball, etc. Body language looks bad too. I know DJ is coaching him up but it’s like he forgets that he’s playing against other guys at times.


He is a rookie. Rookies have bad stretches. Somehow everyone has it in their head that if a rookie (or a freshmen at the college level) isn't fully refined right out of the gate, he is a bust. Not how it goes.
I'm actually pleasantly surprised no one posted a serious thread calling for CJJ to be fired. Maybe sanity reigns this board after all.

Just goes to show that roster building at Mid Majors and roster building at power conferences is a totally different skillset.

LSU Tigers

Athletic director Verge Ausberry raised the temperature on Matt McMahon last month, telling the Baton Rouge Advocate he'd made it clear to McMahon that the Tigers needed to make the NCAA tournament, or he would be forced to "reevaluate." After a 12-1 start to the season, the Tigers are just 2-12 in SEC play, struggling mightily with star point guard Dedan Thomas Jr. sitting out most of conference play because of a foot injury. McMahon hasn't been to the NCAA tournament in four years since arriving at LSU, and he's just 16-52 in the SEC during that time. He would be owed about $8 million if fired -- which, along with the injury issues, could ultimately play a role in McMahon trending toward returning for another season.


After what they are giving Brian Kelly, does this guy really think that $8 Million will save McMahon's job?

I agree. I think he's thinking about hanging it up.

Kiper's latest mock. Has Saints taking Lemon with Love and Bain still on the Board.
Just throwing this out there: Atlanta's problems are not because they drafted Robinson so high (other needs on their roster notwithstanding.) He should be a difference maker. He's not because they are currently a dysfunctional franchise.

Key Performers (LMU): Hank Gathers scored 48 points with 13 rebounds, while Bo Kimble added 32 points.



I still get sad watching Hank Gathers play. He stops taking his medicine for just a few days and then dies; he should not have been out there. So tragic.

3X3 hockey is like 7-on-7 drills in football. Fun to watch but not something you want to settle a big game with. They should have gone to 4X4 for the medal round.
Those 3 players will probably get paid much more than that, and they are all 5 years older, which is a lifetime in running back years.

The argument of "You cannot draft player X because you will have to pay him" can apply to every player you pick.
Great pitchers evolve over time. Felix Henandez as he got older and was losing juice on his fastball went to work on improving his changeup. So, as his fastball got a tad slower, his offspeed stuff got better and he could still get outs.

As far as the guys whose only stuff is the 100 mph 4-eamer, they need to get their butts into the bullpen and close. Either that or prepare for several visits from Mr. Tommy John.
quote:


This would be worst case scenario to me. All three pass rushers in Bain, Reese and Bailey are gone, plus the two OTs from Miami and Utah. In this scenario, id want to trade down. I really want to come away with one of those five, or stock up on more picks.

If I had to pick from one of the players available, its Delane or Downs.


So you are saying that if Tate and Lemon and Love are all there, you would say, "Nothin to see here, I'm trading down."

You're crazy.
Mickey won't trade down. Period. He doesn't believe in the value of such moves. He is a believer of quality of pick over quantity of picks. So, y'all need to drop this trade down shite cause he won't do it.

Daniel Jeremiah Mock Draft 2/17

This is the second mock that has us drafting Lemon over Love that I've seen. My question is: if Reese or Bain is available, what do they do because I think both of those guys will be better in the long run than the 2 receivers or Love.
They were talking about this on Movin the Chains today on Sirius XM NFL Radio. Pat Kerwin said that Mendoza was the only 1st Round caliber QB in the draft. He said that in his eyes, Nuss is next due to his experience and football IQ but he's probably a 3rd round level talent. Everyone else: 5th Round or lower. He singled out Ty Simpson from Alabama: "Just 311 college passes. No way in hell I draft that guy anytime before the 5th or 6th round."
Peacock is dirt cheap too. Gold Zone alone makes it worth it.
