I’m pretty sure Peyton was still projected to go #1. the year before he came. the only first round QB in the 97 draft was Jim Druckeiller :lol:

Eli was draft eligible after his sophomore year which was arguably his best.

From 1970-1997 8 QBs were drafted #1. Starting with Peyton in 1998. 21 of 28 have been QBs

Nussmeier is surrounded by NFL talent. Pat Mahomes was 5-7 in his last college season in a crap conference. Physical traits mean something.

Mahomes last year at TT : 388-591-65.7-5052-41-10
The year before his first as a starter
364-573-63.5-4653-36-15

Physical traits matter, so does production

Just because his uncles didn’t leave means nothing in regards to Arch.

Technically true but the family is very close and has shown they value education not to mention extra development. He hasn’t played an handful of snaps his uncles were multiple year staters. and as someone else mentioned he is making good money via NIL. I would bet on him not being in next year’s draft.

You could say “look at how many players went back to school for a fourth year and lost money”

This is the ultimate non falsifiable claim. When a player goes back to school, he is not evaluated by the NFL teams. He doesn’t go to the Sr bowl or the combine or pro days or private workouts or interviews nor do teams watch his tape and fully evaluate him. Players projected to go high in drafts fall after they declare fall all the time, there’s a good example from this year :lol:

miraculously turn it around cause the 96 team did lol

A team that was 12-6 did not need a turnaround and now they are 14-7. 2 tough series ahead but 5-4 in the next 3 gets 19 wins and a top 8 seed.

I wish I could downvote this a billion times. The light saber battles in the prequels are over choreographed, CGI crap. There is no feeling no heart just style over substance. By far the worst is ….

I would use a 1-3 rounder every year until you grab that elite player.

You do need 21 other starters 1st should be definite starters even 2nd rounders a/be starters plus if you take one every year that high, how long are you giving them? If you have an established starter, like Wolf did with Farve, then you shouldn’t be taking flyers until the 4th-5th round or your 4th 5th pick anyway if you have extra picks. Gabriel was a 3rd rounder but Cleveland’s 5th pick.

Then develop him. Even if he isnt your starter, he becomes a future trade value. Ron Wolf(fmr Packers GM) instilled this view.

He does not mean with the 40th pick. 5th round sure top of the 2nd? Absolutely not

Who the hell is Mel Kiper Jr?!!!! All time Mic drop

That quote came after Kiper criticized the Colts for taking Trev Alberts over Trent Dilfer. And while Dilfer did not turn into a franchise QB the year he started for the Ravens in the SB Alberts was already out of the league and working for ESPN CFB coverage. So was Kiper wrong?

Even if Pennix is the guy long term, you have thrown lead into his shoes by having that dead money from Kirk cousins and not being able to put that money to use around Pennix

Cousins contract was only 4 years and now 3 years left depending on when/if they cut him they would have a 1 year bad cap hit maybe another with some dead money. It’s really not the albatross people make it out to be. Drafting Penix gave the 2 options only needed 1 to work out.

But remind me again how many of the highest pad QBs have won a SB.

You listed 10 guys it would take 10 years for all of them to win 1 if all only won 1. Mahomes has the biggest contract in the league and he’s won 3.
This idea that the QB getting paid means his team can’t win is confusing correlation with causation.
