the best ability is availability and guess who is NEVER available? ya boy sam bradford
enfyte i want your input on this argument i had with someone on the jets forum yesterday. i've studied the top 4 QBs this year and have put in a lot of work into marcus mariota because he's a serious jets target and i seriously like what i see. i'd have no problem taking him at 6. but something that keeps bothering me is that people just assume he's an extremely intelligent QB because he's nice
some guy kept saying that marcus mariota is light years more intelligent in terms of football IQ compared to RG3 but I just didn't see how ANYONE can say that with confidence, yet i feel like most people say that. i found countless scouting reports on RG3 pre-draft that said he had an extremely high football IQ and made adjustments at the line and could read defenses, which i concurred with when i watched him 3 years. people don't understand that hindsight is 20/20 and that now it's easy to say that RG3 doesn't have a high football IQ, but what people said pre-draft about RG3 are the same they are saying about mariota. they both ran a spread offense and didn't have to make difficult reads. mariota never called a single play from the huddle he said once ont he rich eisen podcast and he didn't have to go through difficult reads
maybe i'm just frustrated over nothing and i do like mariota a lot, but i just don't understand how people can blindly say he's more intelligent than a lot of these QBs that have done the exact same stuff he has in college
sad that Dallas couldn't put up what Philly offered. oh well, I was well prepared for it, I just didn't expexct it to be fucking Philly...
Dallas signs Run DMC. who knows how this will work out but I can't say I hate it. an o line like this can make him a dangerous man. I really hopeDdallas goes for Gordon in the draft, too. I think i'd be alright withGgordon or mcfadden starting, and Randle as the 3rd guy.
crazy week it's been
I think joeseph randle, or whoever was the backup is a solid back, they definitely need a pwoer back tho
yeah randle. he did really well with his opportunities last year. only problem is he really can't catch out of the back field and has a lot of trouble picking up the blitz and protecting romo. he does have a nice YPC and is capable of hitting holes with quickness and turning up field for large gains.
that's the one thing I wish Murray had, that explosiveness and ability to turn up field and just go. randle has that
