Re: Biggest Draft Slides you can recall

Thanks for that link, 7D ... interesting looking back at those evaluations and seeing the number of busts among his top five prospects at every position. Brooks doesnt even write anything about Mahomes, saying about the QBs ... "There arent any sure-fire franchise QBs in this 2017 class, but th...

Re: Biggest Draft Slides you can recall

Never a QB like Sanders ... La'el Collins went from 1st round to UDFA due to being investigated for a possible homicide connection. Became a good lineman. The Honey Badger, Tyrann Mathieu was the last player I remember sliding in the draft due to strength concerns. HOVG-type player ...

Re: 2025 Hall of Very Good Finalists

And a former finalist in Russ Washington continues to stall. Surprised Leslie O Neil didnt advance ...

You would think more than 23 people would nominate candidates, unless many endorse the same people, I hope.

Re: 2025 QB Carousel

If Sanders goes to Pitts, do they still sign Rodgers? Would he mentor him? Could they trade for Cousins if Atlanta helps with salary?* *The slide for Shedeur Sanders finally ends with the Browns in Rd 5 ... the worst drop I have ever seen in a draft for a QB. Teams were determined for him to eat hum...

Re: Two San Fran what-ifs (’88/’89, and early-’90s)

Thanks Steelers fan ... A Bengals or Bills matchup with Chicago or Minn would be interesting. Seeing Singletary butt heads with Woods would be fun but I feel James Brooks would have been more a factor against the Bears. With Boomer's arm being bad, could the running game and defense gotten it done a...

Re: Two San Fran what-ifs (’88/’89, and early-’90s)

I will agree, had the 49ers not made the playoffs in 1988, Walsh might have been fired, and not co-written two influential football books. Then again, maybe he still would have, questioning his possible handling of the "quarterback controversy" starting with his benching of Joe Montana dur...

Re: Joe Gibbs' 3 Super Bowls- a great achievment or an asterisk?

Winning any SB is a big achievement especially with different QBs but Gibbs had offensive lines that made the difference. They ran just enough to draw a defense in, then went deep. Their defenses could be thrown on, but with underrated Dave Butz plugging the run, they could unleash a pass rush. The ...

Re: A Vikings/Broncos Super Bowl XXII

The NFC also had superior coaching. With a two week window for the SB, they could break down the AFC offenses, though the Broncos made their own mistakes, which cost the Bills as well. Had Esiason not had a bad arm, he might have done more in his SB appearance. Those NFC defenses were tough to beat.
