re: 6pt passing TD Quarterbacks

Posted by DallasTiger45 on 8/21/26 at 1:08 pm to
Like others have said, it balances the QB field (running vs passing) a little and gives a small boost to pure pocket passers.

You might bump up QBs a little, like maybe instead of taking Herbert in the 8th, now it's the 7th. But it's not a major change.

Excellent players running behind good OL with minimal competition to take meaningful touches. These are 1st round picks IMO

1) Taylor
2) Cook
3) Saquon

Have at least one question mark that drops their floor behind the tier above
4) Jeanty - Should get bellcow touches. Offense may not be great, but gets a shot in the arm from multiple angles (Kubiak, Mendoza, improved OL).
5) Brown - Good role on excellent offense. Will always play 2nd fiddle to Chase and the passing game. Addition of under center run game should offset any receiving loss.
6) Achane - Biggest boom/bust here. Is the offense nonfunctional? We've seen him succeed in below-average contexts before.
7) Henry - age/offense change/traditional lack of receiving work puts him at the bottom of the tier for me.

FWIW, I would have Ken Walker squarely in tier 2 above - definitely over Henry, and probably over Achane as well.

I hope he’s not blowing smoke up our asses because Sam’s outing against Mississippi State has me a bit in the wait and see camp on him.


Do people realize he played more than one game in his college career? Pretty sure every QB but Mendoza and Trinidad had at least one stinker last year.
Don't really understand the sentiment from Walker - pretty sure every person on the planet has interest in multiple things. TBob isn't cosplaying at anything

Kelce
Kittle
Henry


How many teams? If 12 teams or less, this team is good but not great. Hard to believe you're the title favorite even with CMC. I'd probably pull the trigger.

Tee has limited to low value in a dynasty.


27 year old WR coming off back to back 10+ TD seasons with a 3rd round redraft ADP. Weird opinion. He's probably worth a random 1st rounder.

quote:

He gets a proven top 5 WR in his prime, a top 2 TE in his prime and a workhorse second year back.


Skatt is coming back from a brutal injury and has a new coaching staff. I like him, but it's far from guaranteed that he is a workhorse this year.

quote:

You get Bijan on a poor Atlanta team that will struggle to score and be looking at another roomie WB next season.


Bijan put up 21.8 PPR points per game last year while Atlanta finished 24th in the league in points per game.

The trade is pretty fair, IMO. In a 10 team league with a pretty shallow starting lineup, I think I'd lean toward the Bijan side.
I'm sure LSU sends out feelers to any stud player's representation to see if they are receptive to a potential move. Hopefully they are not stupid enough to contact the kids directly if they aren't in the portal yet.
quote:


Baseball is a hard sport to play, he needs development.


He's spent a combined 3 years at 2 of the best college baseball programs on the planet. Any development needs lie with the player at this point - it ain't coaching or other resources.
quote:


Truth. We need to cut down on the opposition scoring. That includes defense for certain. We had way too many errors. They change the rhythm and dynamics of the game.


Speaking of rhythm and dynamics of the game...I'm wondering how good our staff can be if the level of catcher play doesn't improve from last year. I guess the good news is only one of Bide or Serna needs to take the leap defensively, but IMO whether or not that happens may be more impactful than any pitchers we pick up in the transfer portal.
quote:

Zach Cowan says hello


I like Cowan and he has certainly contributed to LSU's success since he got on campus.

If we had a staff full of Zac Cowans, LSU would never win anything meaningful. That should be obvious.
quote:

I don’t believe the Spurs would have legit interest in Murray for Fox unless Murray is routed to a 3rd team.


I have no idea if Murray would go for this, but they have zero lead guard depth if Fox is out of the picture. It's basically Harper, Castle, and league minimum flotsam. Murray coming off the bench for $20-25 million less than Fox would probably be agreeable to them. Plus he'd expire around when Castle is due for an extension.
quote:

I'll say it for the 100th time, it's about wanting more range up the middle. It's not a complicated concept.


Range is an important factor at 3rd base as well. Why do you think many college 3rd basemen turn into 1st basemen in the pros? It's usually not a deficiency with the arm - it's foot speed and fluidity as a defender.

It's pretty funny how this sentence was proven wrong almost immediately :lol:

The winner list from the last decade plus is a lot of meh. Best QB's to win were Tua, Stroud, and Caleb Williams.


Yea man, these are terrible outcomes.

2025 - Dia Bell (Too early to tell)
2024 - Keelon Russell (too early to tell)
2023 - Julian Sayin (Heisman finalist)
2022 - Jackson Arnold (he stinks)
2021 - Cade Klubnik (solid, nothing special)
2020 - Caleb Williams (Heisman winner)
2019 - CJ Stroud (Heisman finalist)
2018 - Spencer Rattler (solid, nothing special)
2017 - Justin Fields (Heisman finalist)
2016 - Tua (Heisman finalist)

50/50 chance at a Heisman finalist = "a lot of meh" :lol:
quote:

Dude who can run and extend plays and throws with accuracy will help you get over his size.

We said the same about Russell Shepard.


This might be one of the most racist things I’ve ever seen on this board lol, literally the only thing similar about their games is they’re both black.

Shepard ran for more yards than he passed for his senior year of high school. He looked awful as a QB in the passing drills.

Pop Houston goes for 4000 and 40 passing every season and wins most accurate at the Elite 11.

Just couldn’t be more different

What type of compensation would you move for 2027 1.1 (Jeremiah Smith)?


He will probably be a top 12 dynasty asset (non-SF) immediately, so that's the type of player you'll need to move for him.
quote:

He's got an uphill climb, because he will both have to hit enough at every level and prove he can continue to field at shortstop at every level.


quote:

But he will get less of a leash than most guys.



Yea this is where the lack of size/speed/strength standpoint hurt him, he will get less chances to prove it because there's no future projection to dream on.

I mostly wanted to call out the people ITT saying he'll definitely never be a big leaguer because he's short. Acting like that's a total disqualifier is dumb.
I'm with Lester here. I think Milam has a solid shot to put on a big league uniform one day.

Y'all think middle infielders who are excellent defenders and can give you credible ABs from both sides of the plate grow on trees, and they really don't. Lots of teams would love to have a utility guy like that
quote:

Projected to be late first/early 2nd, and could make the same $$$ in NIL


I'd be shocked if Graves fell out of the first round, more likely to go top 20 than he is to be a 2nd rounder IMO.
quote:

Supposedly, LSU put together a package that would be double what Graves will make next season in the NBA. I think the staff felt pretty good about that, but in the end, Graves wanted to be in the NBA.


The 18th pick in last year’s draft made $4 million as a rookie- we were gonna pay graves upwards of $8 million?
quote:

There are too many guys in the big leagues and minors that can play defense as well, hit for close to the same average and, most importantly, hit 25+ hrs a year. Power is at a premium in today's game, particularly for outfielders.


There were like 5 guys last year in the entire major leagues who played good outfield defense, hit .270+, and hit 20 homers. But I guess in your fantasy land those guys are easy to find
