Good grief if I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times in this thread: most great college QB’s are never starting QB’s in the NFL, but virtually all starting QB’s in the NFL were great college QB’s.
So all of those guys you’ve listed have absolutely nothing to do with the topic we’re discussing.
NFL Starting QB Great College QB?
Ryan Fitzpatrick No
Josh Allen No
Sam Darnold No
Jimmy Garoppolo No
Andy Dalton No
Case Keenum No
Kyler Murray Yes
Lamar Jackson Yes
Jameis Winston Yes
Marcus Mariota Yes
Joe Flacco No
Nick Foles No
Mitch Trubisky No
Derek Carr Maybe
Eli Manning Yes
Matthew Stafford Yes
Cam Newton Yes
Carson Wentz Yes, but in FCS
Baker Mayfield Yes
Deshaun Watson Yes
Kirk Cousins No
Dak Prescott No
Jacoby Brissett No
Ben Roethlisberger Yes, in the MAC
Russell Wilson No
Jared Goff Yes
Patrick Mahomes Maybe
Philip Rivers Yes
Aaron Rodgers Maybe
Matt Ryan Yes
Tom Brady No
Drew Brees Yes
I believe you need to re-evaluate your definition of virtually all. It's closer to 50/50.

Having stepped away for a week or so and looking at this more objectively.
If Luck scammed the Colts:
first by lying about the condition of his shoulder during the summer of 2017, so he could miss a season instead of play in it.
Then lie about needing more rehab, as an excuse to be away from the Colts and instead travel throughout Europe.
Then play in 2018 to justify his previous lies.
Then make up a phony leg injury to further drag on the phoniness he started in late 2017.
Then throughout the 2 year scam, struggle to speak about it without stammering and getting nervous in front of cameras because it was tough to keep his nonsense story straight.
Things wouldn't look a whole lot different than they do.
So this is your idea of looking at this more objectively......, interesting.

Unfortunately, you could say the bolded for most of the threads here.

Purdue is better than IU in football and basketball. I see Purdue going 9-3 IMO if they do not give away 1 or 2 games.
Well, unfortunately they just gave away their first game. Five turnovers, what the heck!

Totally agree with you on Ballard. But a very good LT in this league is a rare commodity.
The Texans figure they’ll be drafting too high to get a sure thing, so they rolled the dice. You can’t blame them for selling out to protect their franchise QB. If Grigson would have done something similar...
They had a really good LT in Brown. Wouldn't it have been better to have paid Brown and not needed to send all that draft capital to the Dolphins?

That's a nice gesture by Luck, I hope he finds the joy he lost.

Does Kelly have a history of troubling behavior or just the issue from last year? I have only followed him since his arrival here and don't know.
Manziel was acting up in college, before his first training camp, and beyond. I certainly agree that Kelly needs to prove his trustworthiness but a single incident does not necessarily define a person of poor character.
The way I see it Brissett is the de facto #1 QB and the starting job is his. He will/should remain the starter as long as he plays to the satifaction of the coaches. If he fails to deliver, you bench him and go with the best option available. If Kelly hasn't had any behavior issues, and he's the best QB option you play him.
Chad Kelly definitely has a history of repeated behavior issues. He has a lot of talent, but he has been a knucklehead. So far Kelly seems to be toeing the line and staying out of trouble. If he continues to show that he has matured, then he could become a good NFL Qb.

I'm sure that will go over well with the NFLPA during negotiations for the next collective bargaining agreement.

I did some rough math with incomplete information, which is perfect for posting on a message board...
The NFL gets at least $6B/year in TV revenue, split between 32 teams is about $187m/year, per team. Over a 17 week regular season, that's about $11m each week. Based on the Packers financials, they make about $7m in revenue per home game.
Take away one preseason game at $7m (which is probably high; I get the feeling teams don't usually sell out in preseason, which means parking, concessions and memorabilia also take a hit), but add two weeks to the regular season, and each team comes out ahead.
And my proposal is you go to a 19 week regular season, with three bye weeks. So that extra revenue is only coming from being on TV for two extra weeks, not from tickets, concessions, etc. That also means you're not taking on additional overhead; you're actually reducing your overhead, because you're getting rid of a fully staffed preseason event, and not adding any regular season events. I think my proposal is a net gain for each team, solely on the basis of dominating TV for two extra weeks in the regular season.
I also think my proposal is better for the players and the quality of the game. If each team has three byes, you can schedule TNF only after a bye week -- which takes care of the low quality TNF games and probably improves ratings, increasing future profitability.
The bolded is both funny and accurate.
So you are saying get rid of all pre-season games, correct? Which is also fine by me, the teams may need to have rosters expanded a little.

I may be old fashioned but I think the NFL should keep everything the way it is except only play 2 pre-season games should be played. Only 6 teams making the playoffs is perfect IMO, it makes the regular season super important.
I understand the sentiment, but I can't see that happening. The owners are not going to give up the kind of revenue they get with 2 pre-season games. If they cut the pre-season down to 2 games, which would be fine by me, they are going to want to make up that revenue somewhere.

Funny, I just got on to read the training camp thread and the first thing I wondered was, what happened to TC day 12?

Bull, soft tissue issues can linger and niggle for a long long time. Maybe they’re being massively over cautious here and pulling him at the first sign of any discomfort.
Without actual access to the clinical notes we’re all just guessing. The fact he’s not scheduled to have follow ups is encouraging.
There you go again, using the n-word. Which I believe can be used to aptly describe this thread.

I heard the Browns got a conditional 2020 conditional 4th round pick.
It apparently will become a 3rd round pick if he is active for 10 games.

He is either injured worse or he is becoming soft and is way to worried about injuries. Or it is something else entirely.
That certainly narrows it down.

Always find it funny when people or in this case the article headline says that QB Luck, wife are pregnant. After having our children, my wife would vehemently disagree that the man is ever pregnant.

Not sure if he fits into our scheme but good player who probably has 2 or 3 years left in him. Article makes it sound like this was a cap move so they could extend some of their younger players.
Thoughts?
Surprised by the move, cost savings I assume. He is a good player, IMO, and would add some size to the DLine.

Interesting tweets from Jacoby in a span of two days. Lol.
Here's an article on some of his tweets.

From some of the responses, I am convinced that several of you have not bothered to read the article.

Kemoko Turay 6'5'' 248 (always thought "253" last year was nonsense, he didn't look big at all)
Are you saying you can tell the difference between him weighing 253lbs vs 248lbs?

Do the Colts put Chad Kelly on the 53 man roster after his suspension is over?

The only thing that is ridiculous is some of your takes.
Wilson was good for one season, after he transferred to a better program, that does not make him a great college Qb.
Keenum was not great in college, I don't care how many yards he put up in that gimmick offense at Houston.
You obviously did not watch Dak in college, he was not great.
Garoppolo was good in FCS, that's all.
Carr was at Fresno State, not a good conference, that's why I said maybe.
Darnold again was not great during his two seasons, spout all the yards you want, but he was not great.
Trubisky, one season does not make a great college QB.
Dalton, see Keenum.
