Breh was choking the shyt outta OBJ.
Dude ain’t fight back or noting. He looked real comfy and toasty down there.
I might have to fly to Seattle this Thursday to watch us play the Rams
if Carroll lets Russ throw as much as Jameis
Sidenote, I don’t think Waller from the Raiders is getting his just due. I have him on all of my fantasy teams so I’ve been keeping an eye on him and I’m going to go ahead and say he’s a top 3 TE, top 5 at the very least.
I expected better from you than to repeat this same tired, cliched and ultimately wrong narrative.Look at the last 20 years or so and you really need a HOF QB to win and now those guys aren’t in the late rounds anymore. Those QB’s are projects who won’t have the time to show what they can do, not guys who were slept on.

not to mention the chicken and egg conundrum. eli manning will be in hof because of his team winning the superbowl, not the other way around. ben might not be in HoF if he has zero rings.
GMs cling to drafting QBs because thats their meal ticket even if team sucks, it gives imaginary hope to media and fanbase. if you dont draft a qb and dont have 'hope' and your team sucks you're fired. so of course GMs/coaches with no balls want to err on the safe side and keep their job. Because of how qb is perceived by sheep media and fans, its actually better for a GM to have a shytty team that never will win anything but with a 'promising' qb than a shytty team with no promising qb. This is what @FTBS refers to I believe, that winning as a whole is perceived as inferior to having a half-decent qb on your team.

I disagree with this vehemently and I don't know what team he pays attention to. Admittedly, where I live, we don't care how you win a Superbowl, but do it already. Eventually we turn on any and every QB who ultimately doesn't get it done.This is what @FTBS refers to I believe, that winning as a whole is perceived as inferior to having a half-decent qb on your team.
QB is also the ONLY position where shyt you did before in a team sport somehow still means something. Corpses of Eli and Flacco starting because a long time ago their teams won the superbowl. Aint a single other position getting so much clit massaging for team successes that happened a decade ago. Frank Gore and Larry Fitz still playing not because they did something 15 years ago, but because they actually can do shyt in the league many others cannot do.
Brady is an awful example considering he’s the ultimate outlier. That’s a once in a lifetime scenario, not a strategy to apply. There are GM’s and scouts who believe a QB should be taken every year. Those people are either A) unemployed because they don’t have anything to show for it or B) Bill Belichick because he’s gone nearly two decades without having to worry about his starter, which is why he’s able to do so well developing them.
Selling hope = drafting a QB because drafting your QB is almost always how you can win a Super Bowl. Winning requires more than that, but QB’s now don’t slip through the cracks the way they used to. Now teams tank for them. The last thing you want is a team ready to win a SB but you can’t because the QB you need isn’t attainable. Look at the last 20 years or so and you really need a HOF QB to win and now those guys aren’t in the late rounds anymore. Those QB’s are projects who won’t have the time to show what they can do, not guys who were slept on.
Simple. Because that was a team poised to win now and I don't think they were gonna entrust the immediate future on a rookie QB that people had doubts on. By the time Lamar Jackson woulda figured it out, they might have missed their window of opportunity. Also, if you spend $84 mil guaranteed on a QB, you don't draft a QB in round 1 for insurance. That's a waste either way. Have conviction one way or another. If you draft a QB in round 1 immediately after giving a QB that kind of money, maybe you shouldn't be picking players for my team.Why don't the Viking get trashed on more for getting Kirk Cousins instead of drafting Lamar Jackson? Or simply drafting Jackson as insurance.
They drafted Mike Hughes 2 picks before him..
They only signed Cousins 3 years anyway. Lol Baltimore eating with all their extra cap space.
