At least Young is bigger than Doug Flutie, who I believe was the smallest starting QB in the modern era at 5-9ish & a buck 80. It was nothing short of miraculous how he lasted 8 or so seasons without being broken in half, and looks very fit & healthy in his 60s now.

Big QBs have been around for a long time. Remember the famous class of 83? Elway, Kelly, Merino, Eason, Blackledge, O'Brien - those studs were all 6-3+ & well over 215 lbs. Merino was a monster at 6-4/225 & as big as most TEs back in that day. You need good height at that position - not only to see over the lineman but for leadership qualities.

Doug Flutie was seriously stout and his arm was not a liability. Linemen weren't as quick and rushers weren't as big/strong as they are now. Like many sports 'Merican Football has progressed with training techniques and the type of players they seek from the college ranks are evolved similarly.
It's the same historical comparison going on regarding cycling climbers, sprinters and GT phenoms 20 years ago with current athletes. There are simply more well-trained players that have potential fully developed at an eariler age.
Very difficult to equate them unless you're dealing with a Barry Sanders or Deion Sanders.....

Along those lines, some of the times clocked in the 40 today leapfrog athletes years ago. 10 DE/LB Edge rushers clocked in under 4.5. Nolan Smith of Georgia clocked in at a 4.39!!! I mean, one of DK Metcalf's 40 times was 4.39! Bryan Densee is 6'6" and 295lbs defensive tackle and ran 4.86! Ade Adebawore is 282lbs and ran 4.49. Gervon Dexter is a 310lb DT/NT and ran 4.88! Calijah Klancey is another DT that ran 4.64. To put things in perspective, Aaron Darnold ran a 4.68, which was considered highly impressive, just 5 years ago.

I know the 40 isn't everything, but the simple fact that there are a few dozen guys whose athleticism is about equal to the very best player 20 or so years ago really tells you something.

The speed and agility guys showed in the drills was also very impressive. One commentator noted there were more OLB, coverage type guys than power guys. They didn't say it, but sort of like a LB/Safety hybrid player. To me this is a natural progression with how the NFL (and NCAA to an extent) has gone, with so many passes all over the field, often even on 1st down. It's not like these guys were tiny either. Will Anderson for example is a muscular Edge guy who had the footspeed of a safety. That guy looks like a true impact player.

Speaking of Darnold, and this shows you just how off "experts" can be. Here's what NFL's Next Gen stats/prospect page said about the guy. They gave him a 5.9 prospect. A guy who would go in the middle rounds, and be "an average backup, or special teams player."

• Marginal height and frame is nearly maxed out
• Hands are more active than strong -- could play with more pop and power
• Overpowered in the run game and ground up by double teams
• Gets snared and controlled by bigger, longer blockers

2 things.. Arizona Cardinals probably rethinking having a Mini- Me QB..lineman all need to duck down so he can see up field.. Flutie and Fran Tarkington..exceptions not the rule.
And do I agree that Snyder is a steaming pile? Without a doubt.. and you can't convince me that the majority of NFL ownership is not exactly the same or only a couple of degrees separated.. The definition of collusion for all the wrong reasons

Apparently Bateman wasn't that offended, and apologized for ripping into him. May be a mountain made out of a mole hill.

Defensive backs at the Combine today.

Watching the Combine, I got a quick glimpse at one of the QBs hired to toss balls to guys as he was throwing spirals with a nice motion. Carson Strong. Hadn't heard or seen that name in a while!

Agree that despite not being big, Doug Flutie seemed damned fit, good muscle on his small frame. Even in recent years he looks terrific.

Still a bad move to make statements like that IMO. A few mole hills can be worse than a mountain for teams.

They're not rethinking on Murray - the owner wanted Murray to have input on the hiring of the new coach. Murray is different than Bryce Young. Murray is a Jacked 207 on his 5-10 frame (built like a RB). And he's clocked a 4.38 which is getting up there with the fastest in the business. But his arm talent is up there with the best in the league - some say comparable to the Gunslinger. He was the best dual-threat QB I've ever seen in college. He's just not getting done at Arizona & time is running out.

Kyler Murray’s top-flight accuracy and arm talent shouldn’t be a surprise

Playing shortstop in high school helped the Cardinals quarterback become a more precise passer.

There were a couple of other old-timers that were under 6 ft & weighed less 200. Sonny Jurgensen & Pat Haden were both 5-11. Sonny & Sir Francis are both in the HOF.

Those were fantastic! I'm old enough to remember those (almost). Here's another one Doug Flutie was maybe inspired by.

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vq94cxeCw8


I have to say, I don't watch much TV anymore. So I'm not even sure what those commercials are that Doug's selling.

They're not rethinking on Murray - the owner wanted Murray to have input on the hiring of the new coach. Murray is different than Bryce Young. Murray is a Jacked 207 on his 5-10 frame...

Agree he's bigger than Young, no doubt. There's a picture of them standing next to each other. There's no doubt. But you don't really think Murray is that good, do you? The Murray I see is a guy who had a physical gift, and likely ran around, through, and past, and threw over everyone in high school. Then got to college and pretty much did the same thing. Now, he wanted to do the same in the NFL. Coach said, no, that's not good enough, guys in the NFL are bigger, faster. The gaps won't be there, and they'll figure you out. You can't just improvise on every play. But Kyler didn't want to study the coach's plays. He wanted to just play video games instead. His streak lasted a season and a half, but not doing so well against good teams. Team ended up stinking this year, he got himself hurt, and the mean ol' coach fired. And he convinced the owner he's so good he can find a coach (who won't make him study and just let him play sandlot ball). His QBR dropped from 63 in 2021 (7th best) to 51 (17th best) before he got hurt. Skip Bayless (and a few others) like passer rating more than QBR saying QBR favors running QBs more (critics of passer rating say it favors short completions). In 2021 Kyler was 8th at 100.6. In 2022 he dropped to 23rd, at 87.

Reid said Mahomes is the most coachable, studious QB he's ever coached. He's going to end up in the HOF, even if he never plays another down. Murray might be lucky to be a starting QB in 2024 the way he plays (since he'll miss much of 2023). He's on track to be the next Carson Wentz more than bouncing back to amount to anything special, or close to Mahomes. The two QBs seem like night and day to me.

I get the feeling Young is more likely to study hard and work his tail off. But I still question he's big enough in today's game. We'll see.

How long will the window be open for contending teams like the Bengals, Bills, Eagles, 49ers, Cowboys…? Mahomes and the Chiefs aren’t likely to drop off soon. There are also teams like the Lions and Seahawks that can be very dangerous starting next season. Seattle, if they draft well with all the good picks they got via Denver, and if Geno continues to play well or even improve, will be at the top echelon of teams sooner rather than later.

Seattle, if they draft well with all the good picks they got via Denver, and if Geno continues to play well or even improve, will be at the top echelon of teams sooner rather than later.

The 'window' can get slammed shut by a QB injury or a few key injuries at other positions during a season, and keeping good teams together gets tougher with each off season.

I just heard a radio talking head saying how much potential PIT has moving forward (already building, money to spend, draft picks...), but in a division with CIN and BAL they've got work to do just to get out or their division. Plus, will CLE be considerably better with less off season distraction and DW from day one? Its possible that PIT could be solid, but they could easily be the last place team in their division.

So, back to my first statement: IF CIN has a few key injuries, BAL doesn't sign LJ, CLE is CLE, PIT could win the AFC N. I think that JAX is going to blast open their window so that makes the AFC champs tougher for whoever comes out of the N.

SEA has a great opportunity over the next few years. I'm not sure what to think about DET (partly because I don't see them much). All of the other ones you listed should be really solid. I'd also add LAC, and hesitate to leave MIN out.

I'll get back to you in January after I see how it plays out!

Yes...in terms of physical skills he's that good. His velocity is on par with the Gunslinger. His arm talent is up there with the best in the business. No way an owner & GM in their right mind would select a short 5-10 QB as thee #1 OA if that QB didn't have superior arm talent to go along with the athleticism. Bidwell is sold on him & he writes the checks. And the scape goat here is obviously Kingsbury as they let Murray have input on the hiring of the new coach.

What I said was: That talent is not being demonstrated on the field & time is running out on him. I don't look so much at stats as opposed to wins & playoff appearances & success with these 1st rounders. Who cares if the franchise QB has stats off the chart but the team sucks & is not making the playoffs. Owners writing the checks for these huge rookie contracts could care less about stats & want to see a return on their investment with winning seasons & playoff appearances. Most fans could less about stats & just want to see a "W" at the end of the day. These top drafted QBs should be playmakers, leaders & game changers. They're getting paid gigantic rookie contracts to perform & win immediately.

Murray is 25-31-1 in 4 seasons with that lone playoff appearance & loss. Clearly not meeting expectations nor giving Bidwell a return on his investment. The team needs to have a 12 or 13 win season & deep run in the playoffs. Perhaps Murray does need to plays less video games & study film more. And he didn't have the highest paid WR in the league, Hopkins, for the first 6 games last season due to the PED suspension. So if Hopkins can stay clean - and they have his full services that could help significantly.

Murray's recovery on the ACL reconstruction & meniscus repair looks very impressive & the timeline for return could be mid-season, perhaps even earlier. Straight forward ACL tears without complications are about 8-9 months now. The rehab protocol for these types of injuries has improved dramatically from just years ago. Case in point: Burrow tore his ACL and MCL in Nov of his rookie season & had surgery in December (2020). He started on opening day in 2021. Murray had his surgery in Jan, so it wouldn't surprise me that he could be ready opening day or few weeks thereafter.

Now that the NFL has graciously added more games to make the likelihood of injuries an added threat; team depth will be a premium. Seattle could be stacked that way but the QB position is the key. Division rivalries will likely get more heated on the field, too. SF was downright thuggish at times; not to their advantage.

Hawks had a good draft last season. Was impressed with their rookies. They probably wouldn't have made the playoffs without them. That plus Geno's return to form. while the 49ers rookies barely played apart from Purdy and Mason and the latter was only used in a handful of games but obviously those two and Drake Jackson on the edge should be players that will feature more in the future.

Detroit are heading in the right direction as are the Vikings who now have Flores at DC. Ravens might need a makeover.

QB Richardson (FL Gators) goes beast at the combine! BIG athletic guy. His lack of experience will be tough to overcome if he is expected to be QB1 this August.

The HUGE TE from Georgia should be able to make an impact in the NFL.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

I don't believe in "windows" like some people do. They might for some players, but not as a team. This isn't 1990. In fact, two seasons ago the Eagles won just 4 games. The 49ers won 6 (and fans were calling for Lynch and Shanahan to be fired). Put another way, windows open and shut based around so many factors, it's not an open/shut case, so to speak.

I think the Steelers are going to push Cincy in that division. They have what looks like a very good defense, and a lot of depth. Pickett played quite well his last few games, almost mistake free. Can he, and their offense keep that up? I think so, to a degree. I also don't think Lamar is going to have a good year. He wants to throw from the pocket more, but he's never been a pocket passer, and his numbers went down each of the last two years. I also don't think he'll make it through the season. I imagine the Ravens will non-exclusive franchise tag him, and secretly hope someone bites and grabs him. If not, they'll roll the dice with him. If he goes back to 2019 numbers, then they'll have to cough up a huge long-term contract. If not, they can move on from him.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Young barely broke 5'10" at the Combine, but managed to bloat up to nearly 210. I think not throwing here hurts him more than helps him. I really doubt he has the arm Mahomes does. He can make good throws across the field, but deeper film analysis shows some deep throws falling short. Really don't think he's going to take the NFL by storm, sorry.

Richardson was amazing, a specimen. But the guy who threw the ball best overall, time after time, pass after pass, was CJ Stroud. He was so fluid, and had plenty of arm strength, with beautiful throws all over. Will Levis had the ball jump off his arm, he didn't hurt himself, one of his bombs was terrific, but he's just a step behind CJ, in almost every category.

As to the other guys, Stetson Bennett just defied the odds. He came in at 5'11", not 5'10" like some thought. He just throws a really nice ball, and his arm is a lot stronger than I thought. 59mph on the velocity gun, same as Stroud and Levis. His 40 time was good too. What I noticed about Bennett was his first throw was almost always his worst. Was he too comfortable? His last deep throw was a thing of beauty. Dorien Robinson heaved the ball 62mph! The only other guy to do that was Josh Allen. But his ball placement was not great. Max Duggan, whose stock really dropped in both the NCAA championship, and then some in the Senior Bowl, ran a surprisingly quick 4.52, and for being a shorter, stout guy, showed some athleticism most people didn't expect, and a good arm. If Bennett (maybe Levis?) was too relaxed, Duggan struck me as a fighter. McKee of Stanford took a real step back, a lot of average or sub average throws. BYU's Jaren Hall actually lost an inch of height, going from 6' 1" all season, to shrinking to 6' at the Combine. His hand size was smallest of the lot, so expect his stock to drop with the "baby hands" label. (Jimmy Garappolo, Jared Goff, and Kenny Pickett all have tiny hands . Pickett fumbled 4 times in all of 2022, btw. Lowest in the entire league for anyone who started more than 5 games). Of course, all these guys were throwing with zero pressure, no defenders, just air.

Devonte Banks and Christian Gonzalez bumped their stock at the Combine. Both guys looked like they had glue on their hands also. DJ Turner clocked in a blistering 4.26, 40.

Darnell Washington was indeed something! That guy is going to be a nightmare to cover.

If he goes back to 2019 numbers, then they'll have to cough up a huge long-term contract. If not, they can move on from him.

Let's just say there might be limited time for some squads due to their drafting and financial tactics. Rams made the 2018 SB and continued to make the playoffs then pulled off a coup signing Miller, OBJ and Stafford in the same season which was canny negotiating by the GM. They got their SB win but now look firmly on the slide : follow up season was bad, got a lot of injuries without much depth in reserve, OBJ injured and Miller gone, Stafford looks close to retirement and Donald has admitted he won't play much longer plus Ramsey is on the trade block and their overall squad looks thin plus the coach was close to retiring. Then you have the Chiefs who have been competitive every season since Mahomes arrived, they believe in the draft much more than the Rams and don't tend to make big splash signings and they will be favourites for the SB next season I would suppose. The Chiefs approach to team building means they are a regular playoff team while teams like the 49ers consistently finish near the top without sealing the deal for one reason or another while others like the Cowboys are more hit and miss in the playoffs but generally have strong teams. The Buccs as well got their SB with some good work by Brady and the GM attracting players, adding to what was already there but a few seasons later the Buccs are looking more like a marginal playoff prospect than a SB contender. while it looks like GB will miss out completely after having a SB ready team and an MVP QB. Last season was their worst for a while and the Rodgers era for GB seems to be over. Rams, Buccs, Ravens and GB definitely need some new blood player wise and a few hits in the draft.

I believe it's 204 - about 10 lbs over his playing weight. And he wimped out & didn't want to throw. I guess he just showed up to get his height & weight? Lol.

Richardson was amazing, a specimen.

An absolute beast! He's nearly as big as Derrick Henry but much faster. He recorded a 40.5 vertical which is on par with LeBron James.
