Well that stinks. If Dez likes Love's attitude, then I don't like Love.
Where there is smoke, there's fire. Just the smoke is telling.
Pass on Love now.

I mentioned earlier in the thread, that the Jags will free up 20M in CAP space when they release M. Dareus.
They will have to get creative, but how often do teams let TOP pass rushes leave for nothing? The answer is pretty simple.
I'm not sure Dareus is going to be enough due to at least half of that going to draft picks next year. With what they are wanting to do with Foles, that sounds like they are in major desperation for cash. However, I completely agree that the top pass rushers don't become available nor are they let go without compensation. Jax is way up against the wall in this situation, and as I stated earlier, I wouldn't bail them out and hopefully no one else does either

they will just franchise tag him like every team does to every elite pass rusher about to hit the market. I'm trying to not even think about getting him cause I'm sure the odds are at about 2%
With what money?

we would have 4 picks in the top 50 I dont give a damn if they get a lil cap relief they never do anything right anyway
If they don't have cap relief, there is a good possibility that Ngakoue could become available. Give me Ngakoue over any 3rd round pick.

I question the fit for our scheme and not whether he is worth a premium pick but whether he is worth a premium pick to us. As a 4-3 DE he could play either side, but he's more of a power rusher with good hands. He'd be a bigger, less explosive version of Justin Houston from a rush style perspective. He's probably a very dynamic interior rusher if he wants to make the conversion, but has never been played in that role. As is, his natural fit is as an every down strong side DE, and the premium spots in our scheme are at 3T and weakside DE.
Yea I think he'd fit better as a 5T/DE in a 3 man front.

I'd hope the Colts would never help a division rival out like that. Make them bleed out - metaphorically..

Everything I have read is that Oregon offense holds him back
Sorry, but I'm not buying this. To me, this is a huge red flag. You don't have a QB, that's supposedly really good, and then limit him within an offense. And the argument that Oregon doesn't have good enough weapons, is ridiculous as well. They've got 4 star guys all over the place for him.
Either Herbert isn't that good, or the Oregon offensive coaching staff is completely mental.

You do understand the nfl has no control of a player says if you draft me I am not signing with you. It’s been done before.
Don't be naive..
I know it's been done before I gave you 3 of the 5 who did it, and 2 of the 3 I mentioned, could have and did play, in the MLB. The other being Eli, whose last name helped him more than anything.Again, 3 times in the last 40 years, and 4 in the last 60. If the NFL didn't have control, this would have happened a lot more than 4 times in the last 60 years. Guys stand to lose too much money and damage their reputation by doing that, especially when they don't have a Plan B which Burrow does not.
Let's just say Burrow does decline to play for the Bengals. Cincy owns his rights due to drafting him. His value has now just dropped significantly compared to what the actual #1 pick would have netted Cincy had they just traded it (kings ransom). No team is going to give up multiple 1st's for a guy they know doesn't want to be where he was drafted because they know Cincy's backs are against the wall in the matter. Cincy would probably exhaust the year with him and let him re-enter in the draft the following year. Chances are they'd probably go #1 again next year.
Bo Jackson went from #1 NFL pick, to the MLB, and then back to the NFL as a 7th round pick to the Raiders the next year. Would Burrows fall be that bad? Probably not, but he wouldn't be going #1 the following year, especially not after having sat out a year, and who knows how teams would evaluate him, and his character, after having done that.
Regardless, I don't see it happening as Burrow would be back home playing in his home state where he is loved.

Yes he does. He is the number pick. He has control. Teams below the bengals would take him in a second. Chargers were dumb and didn’t believe ELI and took him anyway
The NFL is not about to let that start happening..

I don’t judge on wether a team got to a bowl game or not, it’s not really the point. Some undeserving teams always seem to get in every year. I’m saying 7-6 isn’t a good record for a QB projected to go in the middle of round 1, regardless of the team around him

What he got them was barely over .500. If you have a conference in which you can go 7-6 and still get to a bowl game, it’s not that great of an achievement
You don't know how bowl games work do you...

I was watching the strong opinions sports podcast today and he mentioned what would happen if Burrow pulled a Eli Manning and refused to play for the Bengals? That would be quite interesting.
He doesn't have the clout to pull something like that off like a Manning could, nor does he have a backup plan to do that. Elway and Bo did it because they could both go play major league baseball. In my opinion, Eli's deal was more he didn't want to be in the same conference as Peyton rather than playing in San Diego. They wanted a chance at a Manning-bowl.

I'm hanging my hat OSU playing either very one sided Os, or non-physical Os, most of the year.
Haha.. OSU isn't the one still scheduling FCS schools nor average mid-major programs. The Big 10 teams can play anywhere, but I would love to see those southern schools come up north and play in the elements in November/December. Talk about seeing one-sided and physical..

That TL run was fluky, and was the difference in the game.
Agree to disagree.. the targeting call and the overturned fumble call were much bigger than that. The run was a fantastic play call and one that caught OSU off guard. Wisconsin had success with it in the B1G title game in the first half, so I'm sure Clemson took notice with it.
11 minutes ago, EastStreet said:I don't know however if he will have a better game vs LSU. Don't get me wrong, OSU's D is good, but the big 10 if full of bad Os, so their D ranking if padded/fluffed this year. LSU played several very physical OLs and Os. I do think TL will get his, but I think LSU has absolutely the best set of DBs that they will face all year. More INTs than OSU.
Bias aside, but outside of the LB group, OSU is better across the board on defense. Are you really hanging your hat on 2 more INT's overall? Tell me the sack difference? Hard to get picks when the opposing QB is on his back. LSU gave up almost 700 yards and 37 points to an Ole Miss team who has no idea how to throw a football. They gave up 38 to both Texas and an awful Vanderbilt team. Sorry, but that defense isn't that good. I could easily see Clemson doing to LSU what they did to Alabama last year.

Last point.. TL didn't have an amazing game vs OSU. Take away his 67 yard run, and they likely lose. Etienne was the star of that game. Lawrence did what he had to , but he wasn't a prolific passer without Etienne's YAC. To add, Fields lost the game with his 2 INTs. OSU beat them in most stats. I don't see Burrow or LSU making those kind of mistakes.
Eh... The run didn't really matter. Dobbins dropped 2 passes that should have been TD's. You can't rely on FG's in those games. See Wisconsin against Oregon last night. I don't put much blame on Fields on the 2nd INT. Olave broke off his route after Fields threw the ball. Granted it would have been contested, but had Olave not went the other way, he could have contended for that ball.
23 minutes ago, EastStreet said:Fields IMO is a better passer.
I think RG3 could have been just as good within Ryan Day's offense. Fields drove both I and MANY other Buckeye fans nuts with how much he holds on to the ball trying to make a play. He took A LOT of unnecessary hits and bad sacks this past year because of that. He HAS to process faster, and if nothing is there, throw it away or use his legs and get up field. I will say, if he continues his trajectory, and continues getting better, which I believe he will as he'll be more comfortable within Day's system, I could see him overtaking TL as the top QB in the nation next year.
Also, I think TL has a much better game against LSU than he did against OSU. LSU's defense isn't that good.

my family is from Alabama and they are huge fans of college football, personally im from indy and not a big fan...
anyway, they were absolutely rooting for Hurts. i know a lot of crimson tide fans, you were wrong from what i have seen
Who cares...? I don't and that was never my argument about Hurts. He's a great guy, good for him. However, his article from ESPN last week gave raised some questions, but whatever, again I could care less about who he is off the field. SOOOOO... did he or did he not lose his job to Tua? Did Alabama not completely redesign their offense the following spring, which was tailored heavily to Tua than Jalen? Jalen transferred knowing he was never going to touch the field with Tua there. He's not a good QB, and people can bring up what he did this year in Oklahoma, but as I've stated before, big deal he beat up on % Big 12 teams. It's not a coincidence he got exposed against LSU, and their defense isn't even that good.
I'll use my Buckeyes as an example for Jalen Hurts. JT Barrett was a great guy off the field, but I, and a ton of other fans, couldn't wait for him to go. If it weren't for Cardale Jones, the Buckeyes never sniff the playoffs or even come close to a Championship. Regardless of his stats, he wasn't a good QB, and hurt the team more times than helped them.
2 hours ago, Myles said:I'm not an IU fan, but I'll certainly be rooting for a Big 10 team to beat an SEC team.
The one time a year I actually cringe and root for Michigan... but I'm the same way, I root for all the Big 10 teams during bowl time.

I've seen Herbert play (went to school in oregon), he reminds me of Sean Mannion just playing with a better team. The dude is overrated.
Yea, I'm not impressed with him either. Underwhelming to say the least.

If they keep up with that east/west pass playcalling, it's going to be a long day for Herbert and Oregon.

I think Benagu IS going to be mostly at DE. But the drafted him with playing at least some snaps at LB, so I’m expecting them to try it again to see how comfortable he is there the second time around.
I hope Ben plays mostly DE. We likely won’t know until April, May and June.
He's not played anything but DE since April, so I think it's safe to say he's a DE..

His contract itself is not an issue (for us). It's the contract plus the draft capital that they may want.
I'd guess if they do try to move him, they'll do it quickly. 2.9M becomes guaranteed early Feb2020. The Raiders also have a ton of FAs in 2020 as well.
What would you give up for him?

Take a look at Carr's QB chart for the season. One of the better in the league.
https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/charts/player/season/derek-carr/CAR358797/2019/season/qb-grid
he's also 10th in QBR, and that's with a crappy supporting cast.
IMO, Gruden would be stupid to move on from him after that contract extension he signed. Trying to move that contract would also be very hard if you're also asking for draft capital to go with it.
His contract wouldn't be problem at all. Oakland would only have a 5M dead cap hit next year and the new team would assume the next 3 years of base salary of ~19.5M which isn't bad at all for him.

IMO:
A pocket passer is a QB who has no running plays called for himself. He gets his rushing yards primarily by scrambling. That does not mean that he can't be mobile.
A mobile QB, or running QB as I would say, is a QB who's running game is a big part of his game, an element to the offense, and opens up the passing game for him. Typically, their passing game suffers if they cannot run successfully. Cam Newton is a good example.
Lamar, Hurts, and Tua would also be good examples, IMO.
I don't know where you come up with this stuff, but Tua is nothing like those 2 nor in the realm of being a running QB.

Not sure why some of you like Jordan Love?? He has as many bad plays as good plays. And that rarely gets better in the NFL. It seems you think he is going to be like Mahomes or something. Rarely do QBs who are inaccurate get better in the NFL. Whether that is Josh Allen or a more mobile QB.
Coming from the guy who likes Fromm... A guy surrounded by 5 star talent across the board and can't even break 3k yards and hasn't completed 50% of his passes in 5 weeks. Give Jordan Love that team and he annihilates what he did his Sophomore year. Georgia would have been a title favorite had Fields stayed in Georgia and put Fromm on the bench.
Hey Ballard, see the catch by Metcalf?

I wonder where that guy, who just broke Marvin Harrison's regular season records, went to school? Or that rookie who nearly went for 1k in Washington... It just seems to slip my mind for some reason..
