I don't see anything here about your claims re: CTE.
While they can, it's probably the worst possible use of a "helmet" a team can do
And he never even played a snap in the preseason. The injury meant that it was a red-shirt year for him unless Rodgers and Mason both went down...
Me too. In a heart beat. For those arguing that Kordell would have been better in today's NFL, I still wouldn't imagine they'd put him over Wilson...
He's not worried about CTE. He thinks that it doesn't affect special teams. Because he thinks those players aren't in the NFL long enough to...
Joel, do you see how in my response to you I actually linked to research that says the opposite? That's what I meant when I asked for a citation....
Yep. I think we've had discussions kind of like this before. I like your list. I think that processing speed / decision making are similar. And...
I think the biggest issue is probably that there aren't enough humans that can play QB in the NFL. And doing well in college doesn't seem to be...
I certainly agree that he was very inconsistent. My point was that I'd take him over Mitch, Kenny, Mason, Wilson, and Fields (probably).
Kordell wasn't consistent, but he did have several good years. Would likely have had more if QBs were protected like they are now. He wasn't an...
Have to be able to pass. Athleticism should be the icing on the cake. The issue is that it's easy / possible to scout for athleticism. And no...
I think there's little chance the NFL includes QBs in this if they do it. I could see them going more by snap count so teams could still start...
Joel, I'd love a citation for your comment that CTE is mainly found in 7+ year NFL vets. It feels very made up. This study looks at the "hazard...
I don't think we really "need" anything right now (outside of QB and LT: QB is obviously the thing we need most...will almost certainly be true...
And he plays in an era where there aren't really any comparables re: production + longevity.
I wonder what the deal with this was?
You might be right if you're talking about new money average on a 4 year extension. I wouldn't want to pay that though. Tag value is $14.3MM....
This. Incentivizing tanking (more than we already do) is a good way to get a crappy product. Especially past the 3/4 mark of the season or so....
And I wonder if Barkley reverting back to a normal year (almost 900 fewer rush yards than last year) will cool the market again. Henry is just an...
Details never quite revealed. But my guess is that guarantees were the main issue.
