    Correction Brock Purdy leads this class. Malik is 2nd but has imo the verdict is still out if he can be a #1.

    5 teams in 5 years

    Yep that’s because Tomlin mishandled him and injuries

    Any excuse to avoid the obvious

    Hasn't Pickett started and won more games with Steelers, than McCarthy with Vikings?

    Pickett > McCarthy

    Dunno. Pickett's got a ways to go before he beats this guy's jersey collection. But at least Johnson has an excuse. He wasn't a first round pick...

    That remains to be seen. For Bryce Young's future, he better show something because the 2027 Class (on paper) has plenty of quality QBs. Should he falter now, he isn't getting another shot.

    Richardson has a shot at being worse too... Though, Pickett was still a terrible selection.

    A 38 and you brag

    Let me put that in perspective it is 76%

    I suspect you are currently familiar with a middle school grading scale

    I’ll add one for you to reference

    At 76% you have a solid “C”

    Good boy

    LoL. I was waiting for this.
    Don't throw your shoulder out just yet. I can't wait to see what he does as a real starter for once.

    Got admit, hes gotten a lot further than many of you ever thought he would.

    But I agree, hiss biggest test still lies ahead. I think he ended up in a very good spot though, Im sure the HC being on the Packers staff last year played a roll in where Willis chose to go. He’s going to know how best to use him.

    Thought it started to decline in '86. That's when Remote Control TV show started. Beginning of the end. Headbangers Ball, 120 Minutes and Yo MTV Raps were all excellent...but it's fate was sealed as a more non music channel with Real World and other crap to follow in '92.

    About 86 I went to visit some friends who had two little kids like 3 and 4 plopped in front of the TV watching MTV

    And I’m thinking WTF is that going to do to their young minds and their view of reality
