  • Give McCown 4 years on a decent team and.....

    So why not Knight?

    WSS

  • Knight's an H-back. Pasty white guys don't covert to strong safety. JMO

    Nebraska QBs used to only go into the pros as safeties. None of them set the world on fire but Scott Frost got a 5 year or so career out of it.

    After that, he eventually worked his way into an Offensive Coordinator position at the University of Oregon before the University of Central Florida hired him as their Head Coach presently. Leadership skills sometimes transfer from offense to defense to coaching...

    My buddy lives in Orlando and is excited about what Frost is doing with UCF.

    Ok throw "nowadays" to the beginning of my previous statement.

  • Just because it doesn't happen often does not mean it can't happen. Every now and then a John Lynch shows up. He started out in football as a QB, but eventually converted to SS.

    And as for nowadays retirement only 10 years ago is close enough to qualify.War will eventually see that when he approaches oh 40-50 or so. 😉

    Did you hear that they are starting to get moving picture boxes in their houses?

    Don't bring Christian McCaffrey into this.

  • The SPARQ for the 2017 draft class is up. as you guys know we drafted quite a few players that were near the tops of these lists so look closely at the top 5 in all spots and i can pretty much guarantee that were going to get more than one of them before the start of next season. I'll start with QB's

    "Note that the “NFL%” and “z-score” columns refer to the NFL positional averages and not to the draft positional averages. This means that a 0.0 z-score and 50.0 percentile would represent a player who rates as a league-average NFL athlete at the position. The average NFL player is pretty athletic, so this designation is not at all a poor result."

    1. Trevor Knight NFL% 96.2

    2. Josh Dobbs NFL% 87.9
    3. Deshaun Watson NFL% 81.4
    4. Davis Webb NFL% 79.4
    5. Mitch Leidner NFL% 75.3
    6. Pat Mahomes NFL% 68.3
    7. Mitchell Trubisky NFL% 63.5

    8. Nathan Peterman NFL% 48.2

    9. Jerrod Evans NFL% 33.8
    10. De Shone Kizer NFL% 29.0

    For Comparison sake I'll add a few other QB

    Carson Wentz 81.4
    Paxton Lynch 81.7
    Jared Goff 26.0
    Jameis Winston 20.0
    Marcus Mariota 96.0

    Cody Kessler 34.3

    Couple other points of note is that for the most part RB's generally speaking sucked this year. Only 8 showing to be above NFL Average compared to 14 in 2016.

    List of players that were in the top 10 of these lists that we drafted last year or sign as FA
    Corey Coleman,Ricardo Louis,Seth Devalve,Dan Vitale,Darius Jackson,Anthony Fabiano,Ogbah

    Honorable Mention to Kindred (24th)

    TE Class athletically are as good as advertised but Seth Devalve scored higher than anyone in both classes to his credit he has the highest recorded score for a TE period.

    OL for 2017 looks to be awful athletically especially if compared to 2016.

    Defensive Lineman look to be awful in 2017 when compared to 2016.

    EDGE Looks to be quite a bit better in 2017 than in 2016 and that is without Myles Garrett in the mix.

    Off-LOS LB looks to be a poor year to draft backers.

    CB Has a Few standouts and it will be a good year to draft some. Kevin King posted an nfl score of 99.3% making him one of the top 5 most athletic corners in the nfl. Great Year for corners.

    S 2017 is looking comparable to 2016 as far as S is concerned

    All sound and fury, signifying nothing.

  • Anyone find a link with the Sparq scores of the 32 current starters? That would make this more interesting.
