Jack Ballard Had More Surgery, Giants To Take Fleener?


Recommended Posts

Fleener would have been more of a luxury than a need. We have needs at other positions and Fleener himself isn't an elite TE coming out of college. Plus, as the Pats have shown, you don't need to get first round TEs to have success with them. If I am recalling correctly, Gronk was a 2nd round pick and Hernandez was a 4th rounder

Yes, but to be honest I think the only reason Gronk went mid/low 2nd round was because of injury. If he hadn't of been injured he likely would've gone top of the 2nd or maybe even the bottom of the 1st round. A shame Ballard tried coming back in after getting injured, but when he planted that leg it gave under him and he clearly hurt it more than first expected. Hopefully he recovers quickly.

We were at his pro day and I think our TE coach actually commented about him saying that they loved his athleticism.

For real? I had no idea! Come on now, I said that the TE's coach was there to look at Fleener. He even commented on how Fleener looked. So to say we've not been looking at Fleener is false which was the orginal point in question.

    • Speed was 24 when he was drafted and it took him a few years to develop.   Flowers is going to be 27 and is only in his 3rd season.   COVID played a role because of the extra year, but Ballard seems to gravitate toward older prospects. I would be interested to see how he compares to other GMs. I bet he way's up there. His 2022   Not meant to be a Ballard grievance, just an observation. 
    • I see your point , but the point can be made that Lynch , while not a "genius " for waiting as long as he did , was at the least  , smarter than the other 31 GMs. 
    • I get the “old school” mentality of the current logo but it would look very sharp to have a horseshoe on the field instead.  I have to admit I cringe when I see the low quality helmet logo when watching home games
    • The Pacers by winning last night gives them their 11th appearance in the Final 8 as an NBA franchise since the league went to 16 teams in 1984 making the playoffs. 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2024.   -Eastern Conference Finals appearances = 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2013, 2014. (8)   -NBA Finals appearances = 2000. (1)   -No NBA Championships but still a very good franchise looking at those numbers. The year the Pacers won the East (2000), they had to face Shaq, Kobe, and Phil otherwise we win it all that season and Reggie has his ring.    -I will go by since 1984 but here is my all-time Pacers team since 1984: PG - TY Haliburton SG - Reggie Miller SF - Paul George PF - Myles Turner (I have Turner here/Rik is my Center. C - Rik Smits 6th Man - PF - David West   My HeadCoach is Larry Bird. From 1998-2000 he made the Conference Finals in all 3 seasons he coached and the Finals in 2000.
    • I could see Slovis challenging Ehlinger for QB3. He's more athletic than Ehlinger and showed flashes of a potential 1st round QB prospect as a freshman at USC. Some stability and a chance to reset might be exactly what he needs. His upside is WAY higher than Ehlinger's and we've already seen him do it. It's just a matter of if he can get back to that level of play.
