  • He'll be in it. Has declared. Hope he doesn't fall to the stupid Patriots. How high in the first round if he goes go in the first round?

    An SI article on his best fit possibilities: If he jumps to the top ten, that could really help the Browns' chances of getting their top desired pick to fall to them at ten?

  • Georgia had high hopes for a final four spot but still had a good season.  Fromm won't be in the top 3 but will all of the soon to be retiring quarterbacks should get some good looks at the workouts.

    Georgia fell short of the College Football Playoff for the second straight season. The Bulldogs finished with a 12–2 record, their only losses coming to South Carolina and LSU.

    Pats have Jason Stitham.  Is Fromm considered an upgrade from him?  

  • QB

  • I coulda sworn a year or 2 ago Fromm was considered the next big thing at QB.

    Does anyone else think it’s funny that there’s a Tua and a Fromm in this years’ QB draft class?

  • I can get Fromm's case to go Day 1 more than I can Herbert's. The latter makes more WTF? throws than any "top prospect" in recent memory.

    You wonder how this year's QB class compares with the recent classes of ready to go step in starters......or still the apparent gold standard of 1983?

    They new kids on the block seen to be great RPO well trained ready to go players similar to the more recent RBs and WRs.

    Even with the newer "soft" rules on the skill players you wonder if this new crop of run/pass quarterbacks will make it 10+ years?  Maybe 5+?

    Good question and good insight. I feel like we’ve been chomping at the bit for the multi-dimensional QB superstar since Michael Vick. He was the first guy l recall who was going to transform the NFL with his arm and his legs.

    But l think the “effectiveness to shelf life” ratio wasn’t there, nor was it for RG3. But what about Cam Newton? And Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson?

    Michael Vick was drafted 20 years ago, but it planted a seed. We could very well be on the dawn of it, where the superstar do it all QB becomes a thing in the pro game, but how long do they last and how many are behind them to replace them?

    ... and how many are behind them to replace them?

    Plus how many accomplished, conventional, pocket passers will there be to choose from?

    The RPO is so much easier to teach at every position that it's dominant at every level except the NFL.
