Kirk signed a 4 year deal Penix will almost be 28 by then

#

No way they plan to sit him for four years right? But then that Kirk contract is eh

woeful topaz
#

which is basically nothing at this point

#

most likely option is that penix starts his 3rd season as a 26 year old

zealous panther
pulsar ocean
#

as of rn theres no real point speculating too much

#

it all depends on how penix pans out and if kirk comes back from the achilles

#

a lot of variables

woeful topaz
#

if they do plan to move on after 2 years it's at least going to be better than cutting him

see if you can get an asset back, eat the $25M dead, save yourselves $30M and get a 2nd or something

Larry McCarren asked Quay Walker if the Packers are in a good spot right now.

“Mr. Larry, I’d be lying to you if I said we wasn’t because honestly, I done been on a championship team and I understand that it’s college and this is the NFL, but chemistry is there already … that’s a good, good sign.”

@zealous axle let's move conversation here

booooooooooooooooo

fine

#

anyways

#

its not a tremendous gap

muted valley
#

It's a pretty big gap

zealous axle
#

again the only thing hutch leads them in by a good amount is pressures

#

QB hits too

muted valley
#

I bet Hutch has a better pass rush win rate

zealous axle
#

Other than that? Sacks, tackles, TFL, FF, theyre all pretty much within the margin of error there. The only exception there is Walker and even then Walker is a much better pass defender which could lead to some more complex schemes.

#

Like im not gonna deny that Hutch is better but to imagine that the gap is insurmountable for them is nuts especially after bounce back seasons like these

#

as for win rate I would too imagine Hutch is better

#

As i said he's way better at getting to the QB but thats not the only job for them as players

muted valley
#

Walker was a raw prospect who jumped up due to his athleticism

Walker needs a massive jump this season

@zealous axle @muted valley Is Russ a top 15 qb all time?

zealous axle
#

classic HoVG quarterback

#

im sure you can make a stastical argument that he is but it'll just fall flat to me because you watch him play past 2020 its clear he was just kinda washed

zealous axle
#

like, from my POV, if russ IS a top 15 guy then why not Joe Flacco or Carson Palmer too?

full atlas
# zealous axle no

Some guy really tried telling me he was better then Warner Unitas and Rivers lol

zealous axle
#

I could be convinced about Rivers but thats it

#

And its not really Rivers fault either he was just on a cursed franchise

full atlas
#

Even if you don’t think Rivers is top 15 Staubach and Tarkenton are easily better

zealous axle
#

tarkenton for sure

full atlas
#

Yes the chargers were and still are a poverty franchise but Rivers isn’t innocent in all that either

zealous axle
#

just historically the chargers are shit in the playoffs

#

even drew brees couldnt do shit and he got basically handed a superbowl

#

like the last time they even won a playoff game was 2018

full atlas
zealous axle
#

and the last time they won multiple was 2007

full atlas
#

Clearly a mistake obviously but Rivers wasn’t all that bad of a replacement

full atlas
zealous axle
#

I wanna have faith in him, I do, but that team is hilariously bad and Harbaugh has been out of the NFL for a damn decade

full atlas
zealous axle
#

although to be fair to the chargers, it was a bit more than a shoulder injury. guy dislocated his shoulder, tore his labrum and had a partial tear of his rotator cuff.

olive knot
zealous axle
#

that shit wouldve been a career ender in the past

olive knot
#

imo hes in that borderline top 30 area with guys like newton/rivers/ryan

zealous axle
#

i mean im a bit of a russ denier

full atlas
zealous axle
#

hes for sure not a top 15 guy but I honestly just kinda see him as smart kyler

full atlas
#

He’s def not better then matty ice though

olive knot
#

yea i dont think hes as good as the stats say he is or ever peaked higher than a fair bit of qbs, but he's been consistent for like a decade as a premier dual threat qb

full atlas
#

I think Seattle just did a really great job at hiding his flaws, like Ben said after 2020 he fell off a cliff production wise

zealous axle
#

nah its about like 8 years and even then the dual threat thing started to go away towards 2018

#

not to say he couldnt move but it wasnt like prime russ at all

olive knot
#

it was so annoying watching him refuse to throw balls away lol, like the bad rap seattle's oline got was basically because he'd rather take a sack than lower his comp %

#

i mean 8 years is still an insane amount in terms of longevity, a lot of great qbs only have 4-5 years of elite play before they fall off

full atlas
#

Cam, Vick, same shit with Lamar (though he has improved as a passer)

zealous axle
zealous axle
olive knot
#

palmer had like 3 years of good play including 2015, maybe if he didnt have those injuries he would've had a similar trajectory but as it stands russ's production is far superior

full atlas
zealous axle
#

like if its between Big Throw Joe, dangeRuss, and Palmer at the peak of their powers im choosing Russ, right, but if i gotta build around a guy based on what they can do? eh idk man

#

Palmer is disingenious ill say more that I think about it

olive knot
#

prime cam was incredible, its a shame he tailed off quick after 2015 cause he was one of the most fun qbs to watch

zealous axle
#

but thats all speculation

olive knot
#

but i can see it

zealous axle
#

I mean the defense probably gets worse but if youve got cam and someone to catch cam newton piss missiles then shit

#

i could see him probably beating the pats in 2019, just on the basis on mobile QBs being the bane of Bill's existance

#

i would say they probably make it in 2017 and 2019

#

win 2019 and barely lose in reg to the pats in 2017

olive knot
#

i feel like atlanta was repping the nfc in 2017 no matter what, they were a juggernaut

#

if they made it in 2018 they couldve won too, pats defense that year was mid iirc

zealous axle
#

it was but you had healthy gronk, brandin cooks, dion lewis' one healthy season, and not quite washed up Amendola

#

like people forget it cost the eagles damn near everything to beat the team

#

brady quite literally had the greatest superbowl performance of all time

olive knot
#

yeah true

#

it wouldve been another offensive masterclass for sure

zealous axle
#

i mean assuming they still get CMC

#

they only got CMC because they sucked ass cheeks after going 15-1

#

(though in classic riverboat ron fashion he did basically nothing else besides use CMC)

olive knot
#

panthers are the most volatile team in terms of standings so it probably wouldve happened regardless

zealous axle
#

i guess they couldve gotten dalvin cook

olive knot
#

they basically just swap their wins/losses every season and call it a day

zealous axle
#

i hope theyre good this year

#

who was that damn moron running the show

#

frankie the 4th?

olive knot
#

yeah lol

zealous axle

damn near all of that teams problems are just blocking

olive knot

team cant do shit as long as tepper insists on being as hands on as he is anyways

zealous axle
#

like when bryce young actually had blockers his passer rating went up damn near 50 points lmao

#

hes not as bad as people think, yet

#

one or two more seasons of being sacked 50 times as basically NFl muggsy bogues, he'll be shit

olive knot

i mean he was a top prospect for a reason, but if he doesnt get a consistent system in place around him it's joever

@zealous axle You think Caleb is going to be the best QB out of the first 3 selected?

zealous axle

i give him the highest chance of success

if im gonna be honest, i think daniels has the worst situation because the guy is addicted to running into sacks, on a roster that got sam howell sacked 60 times running for his life

full atlas

theres always a chance because that coaching staff is...ehh

im not particularly sold on franklin. big tyquan vibes.

full atlas
zealous axle
full atlas

#

probably, but at least that made "sense"

#

kirk is coming off a big injury, hes old, and theyve got a lot invested in him. worst case scenario he gets hurt again, they release him, plug and play Penix

full atlas
#

Why pay Kirk $100m guaranteed if all you was going to do was draft a QB when you could’ve gotten a bridge guy in Gardner or Darnold

#

Hell they gotten could’ve gotten Howell for a 5th

full atlas
zealous axle
#

well just looking at the guys within reason, youve got Odunze and Bowers (you dont really need more receivers), you dont really need a lineman in Fashanu, and McCarthy is a project at least compared to Penix. They couldve taken Turner or Latu but for some reason, probably injuries, they fell.

full atlas
#

Then again ATL can’t develop pass rushers to save their life so most likely it wouldn’t have panned out

zealous axle
#

i think the worry is that they end up with like a Beasley Jr McKinley or a guy who cant stay healthy like Keanu Neal

#

and if both these guys already have injury histories, probably better they dont given their luck

#

(from the falcons POV)

full atlas
#

They did address edge in the later rounds but I just feel as if was a reach imo

zealous axle
#

Qb is damn near the one position theyve had some luck at

#

barring Ridder, naturally

#

they probably shouldve just traded the pick but from their team needs standpoint, kind of a rock and a hard place

full atlas
zealous axle
#

MHJ

full atlas
#

People say Pearsall was a reach but I honestly think it wasn’t the worst move considering Aiyuk might be on the move

zealous axle
#

Nabers is a 50/50 to me, and Odunze will probably just be like, Mike Williamsy

full atlas
#

Nabers is a stud fs

#

Him and MHJ are both going to be the best out of the first round

zealous axle
#

hes got the tools but i just dont know?

#

id have to watch him in the NFl

MHJ im like lmao no shit

I wanted the pats to draft him honestly

Like there’s certain things in his game he does better then MHJ

zealous axle

zealous axle
#

Yeah but that team has jack diddly

#

like WR1 Kendrick fucking Bourne and an o-line turntable is just not the formula

given the rest of their draft im like..ok with the maye pick, but im not thrilled unless they actually draft some more high end talent next year

full atlas

#

same deal as Nabers

full atlas
#

What about Coleman & Worthy

zealous axle
#

Coleman no

#

Hes slower than NKeal Harry and somehow more reliant on jump balls

full atlas
#

Ofc this is banking on whether or not Maye pans out

zealous axle
#

best case scenario, Coleman is like Devante Parker or some shit

#

Worthy might be fine but apparantly the Chiefs had a one hit wonder with Tyreek

#

because every other receiver to come through is either a Mahomes merchant or genuinely shit

full atlas
#

I think he’ll work well as an short / intermediate guy, he’s not gonna be someone who’ll burn you downfield if it’s not a contested catch

#

Def N’Keal vibes from him though

full atlas
zealous axle
#

top speed sure but his 10 yard split is just middle of the pack, and he had the second slowest 40 time among participating WRs

#

like, mind you, 6'6 and about 10-20 pounds heavier johnny wilson was faster

#

but not an ounce of hype about him

#

so if hes get meh acceleration and isnt really gonna burn a guy ever, what else CAN he do besides be the NFL equal to like Zion.

full atlas
zealous axle
#

its just clown shit to me to draft coleman when you literally couldve drafted the whole foods version of him in Legette

full atlas
full atlas
zealous axle
#

even then when you mention some of these slower guys LIKE Kupp, Keenan, im assuming thats Michael Thomas. Theyre all either faster than Coleman, more agile than Coleman, have bigger hands than Coleman and at the bare minimum every single one of them had genuinely historic college careers

#

the only real exception to that is Kupp, and even then that guy can stop on an atom, something than Coleman has not shown he can do.

#

so he can get way more seperation because of that alone.

#

the only thing Coleman has over any of these guys from a prospect view is his jump ball ability

#

which is pretty much what NKeal Harry's thing was

#

and he doesnt really have that ability to pull an MHJ and just go "fffffFUCK YOUR PRESS COVERAGE"

as for Lamar? Dak with a 40 time.

If your team cant beat Mahomes and scrubs with the best defense in the NFL and a top tier offense, youre just not gonna win ever as long as you have to face Mahomes. Honestly, i dont see them beating a healthy Bengals either.

Perhaps, but im betting that as time goes on Lamar cope will meet reality.

#

Both can’t get it done despite stacked teams, Dak is the better passer tho

I think people give Lamar somewhat of a pass due to him not having a good WR room as of late and 2021’s injury ravaged season for Baltimore

zealous axle
# full atlas Agreed on Moore, but why not Fangio?

I just cant give Fangio credit for any of his good defenses. Look at like, Brian Flores, making miracles out of old ass Patrick Peterson. Then look at Vic Fangio, who has elite defenses when he has Akiem Hicks, Roquan Smith, Adrian Amos, Khalil Mack, Kyle Fuller, and Eddie Jackson but cant do shit when it comes to having only a couple guys like you saw this year in Miami.

#

the 2016 bears are an even better example. All the foundations were there for that elite defense in 2018 (had Hicks, Amos, Trevathan, Floyd, and a not quite washed McPhee) but he just..couldnt do shit with it.

full atlas
#

It also didn’t help matters that 2 vital anchors on the dline went down late in the season in Jaelan & Chubbs

zealous axle
#

its an entire 1-1 ratio of Vic Fangio coaching an already elite defense to Vic Fangio being good to me

#

Like, no shit you have a good defense. Half the guys you field are pro bowlers lmfao

@sacred burrow Am I wrong for kinda thinking GB was backed into a corner with this contract?

sacred burrow
#

I mean technically yea, but it's not the worst corner to be backed into

#

In theory it's ridiculous to pay somebody for 1/2 a season of play, but in practice it's the only thing we could do...and everybody is confident Love will be great

#

I doubt the FO is going "man I just don't think he's gonna be good enough but whatever we have to do this"

#

Team and organization loves him

full atlas
#

I get not wanting to get on the QB carousel but man are they banking Love continues to put up numbers

sacred burrow
#

I mean he was a top 3 QB for 1/2 a season, the odds he regresses into 10-12 is low...like the positives outweighs the negatives hard

#

We were working with the youngest offensive core in the league

#

All the WRs will get better, bringing in Jacobs...Love is in the ultimate position to thrive

#

It makes sense itd take 1/2 a season or some time to get going

full atlas
sacred burrow
#

If he's the 6th best QB, the contract is totally fine

full atlas
# sacred burrow It makes sense itd take 1/2 a season or some time to get going

His 5th year option was picked up right? I would’ve reckoned GB asks him to replicate the season he had once more, so his contract is 1000% justified But then again there’s also massive risk in that potentially shunning Love and making him even more expensive then what he once was, so it does make sense for them to lock him up now

contract aside hes easy to get behind, teammates love him

Rodgers wouldnt have shown up

Acting like we weren't a better defense away from a potential sb appearance his first season starting

so the context is: first year starter, the offense is entirely first or second year players except for the RB room and... center?
and we have
2 great games, 3 bad games, a good game, 4 mediocre games, and then literally a top 3 qb for the remainder of the season

like you wanna tell me having davante adams (or a receiver more of a veteran than romeo doubs) wouldn't have made a difference in the first half of the year

woeful topaz

#

absolutely not a gimme

#

but if we had pulled it off against the niners? our pass rush was feeling pretty good and goff would have gotten similarly rattled

olive knot
#

they didnt pick up loves 5th yr option anyways, they reworked his deal to give him less guaranteed but with more incentives

#

and yeah if we waited another year we'd have had to pay him more, he'd have to play like a bottom 5 QB for the entire season for us not to pay him

woeful topaz
#

it only saves you money, anyone that's "a franchise qb" is going to be getting this kinda money

#

lawrence played his entire rookie contract and has as many playoff wins as love, got the same amount of money
tua has 0 playoff wins in his entire rookie contract, got approximately the same amount of money

Lawrence ($55MM/5 years)
Love ($55MM/4 years)
Tagovailoa ($53MM/4 years)
Goff ($53MM/4 years)
Cousins ($45MM/4 years)

recent qb contracts

out of all these i'm absolutely taking love

lawrence frankly i don't think is that good
tua is carried by having the best skill position rooms in football
goff doesn't perform well under pressure or out of system
cousins is old and coming off an achilles
