Drew Allar was in complete control.

The path for this to happen would be an early season-ending injury to Rodgers IMO.

Especially if we trade Mason away (which is what I would rather do, but I don't think we will).

 

I tend to agree with this. Not a fan of him. I doubt that a decade from now they will be happy they took him that high. Probably will wish they had taken one of the other position types who ends up being a pro bowl level player.

May be a homer here but I prefer what the Steelers did. They went and got themselves a big QB who fits their division, and sure he was a project, but he's going to sit and learn and then maybe they hit it out of the park. Reaching up high for some dude who was a long term backup at Bama, who is small of frame, that would have irritated me.

Simpson looked great but playing QB in the NFL is not a sprint. It's a marathon where people come out of nowhere to knock you out of commission.
