OT: 2017 Football Thread II: Rofl.

[sbjnyc]

They have Cleveland coming up and will have a very good chance at coming out of that 3-2, which is ****ing nuts. I thought they'd win 3-4 games, MAX. The rest of their schedule is really hard though and they'll be underdogs in every game, barring some continued bizzaro-world ****. If they finish with 4 wins they'll still probably have a shot at a top QB, given that 4 wins last year was the fifth pick. If they somehow manage 5 wins, all bets are ****ing off. Then I guess you pursue Kirk Cousins, haha.

The college QBs everyone had the Jets drafted have been somewhat pedestrian. It's the same thing every year some QBs get hyped up as the next great thing and end up being mediocre. Some are now suggesting Darnold should stay in school another year.

I assume you mean for almost free? No one will trade for him unless it’s for pennies. The whole world knows he will be gone next year.

If Alex Smith continues like this he might even go for a 1st rounder.

It's true, none of them have been stellar.

I know Lamar Jackson has some ball placement issues and questions about how his frame will translate given his style, but he's explosive and exciting and I would be totally okay with the Jets picking him. It would be a risk, but I'm not enamored with the rest of the bunch and if Darnold does enter the draft I don't think the Jets will be in a position to grab him.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Plenty of **** teams will be looking for stability at QB and Smith provides that in spades.

Regardless of where he goes I'm confident we'll get a decent pick for him. Maybe not a second but not pennies.

I think you're looking at a 4th. I'd gladly eat crow since I like the Chiefs, though.

For QBs, Mason Rudolph is still my man.

1. Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State
Stock Up

Rudolph was supposed to roast Texas Tech's defense, and he did. What was good to see from him in this game beyond the quarterbacking intricacies I always mention is that he got James Washington involved early and often. It's not like Rudolph has ignored his star wideout in the first quarter of games this season, but against the Red Raiders he looked for him frequently, and frequently connected.

The senior signal-caller made one clear-cut mistake on what looked like an overthrow near the end zone that ended in an interception. As per usual, he got the ball out quickly, maneuvered in the pocket well while reading through his progressions and lofted a few perfectly placed deep balls. He also had 11 carries for 50 yards with two scores.

After his worst game of the year against TCU a week ago, Rudolph responded well on the road. Yes, it was against a subpar defense, but his 376 yards on 27 of 38 attempts with three passing touchdowns came in front of a raucous Texas Tech crowd.

Outside of Alabama, it's hard to figure out anything with college football this season as 3 of the 10 largest upsets in history (by point spread) occurred in september. And then LSU lost to Troy. LSU has almost twice as many students as Troy Alabama has people.

It's gonna be really crazy how the top 5 falls and every team may have a different QB1.

 

[Bob Richards]

Jets employing the "Ball to Bilal" strategy was the way to go.

I could actually see the Giants trading out of a top pick if they landed one.

Idk, it could be a better strategy but Reese is scared to trade. And Reese may also want to draft a QB to buy him a couple more years. If he trades back and takes say an OT and the team is still trash he's more likely to get fired than if they draft the next QB, imo

 

[Machinehead]

You can have Alex Smith for a 2nd

Yo, who ran that touchdown in at the end to make it 29-20?

He literally won me that game by himself

Dunno, man. It's interesting times. And I mean that in both positive and negative ways. I'm very curious to see what this team does as we have basically begun winding down the Manning era.

We are doomed if Reese is still around to make that pick.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I like how the title, other than the week, is accurate still.

That game was one of the worst bad beats in (recent?) history although it worked out well for me. Chiefs were favored by 6.5 and managed to cover when they were up 3 with a few seconds to go. Then to top it off the O/U was 49.5 and instead of kicking the XP they kneeled because (I think) a bunch of players had already left the field.

 

[silverfish]

Oh, Cam.... oh noooooo

 

[Bob Richards]

Cam, that was lame as f***.

"Come on, man"

 

[nyr2k2]

Shameful from Cam. WTF.

 

[Fugazy]

Welp, let's see if the god damn Jets can get to 3-2 on the season

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

The Jets have consistently been the beneficiaries of horrendous roughing calls this year.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Jets looking like hot doo doo so far. If the Browns don't Browns this game away , Jets can't do anything on offense , or defense really.

 

[Bob Richards]

Alright sick. Injuries to all our receivers.

Your wish is the browns command.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Are Marshall and Shepard both out?

 

[silverfish]

These decisions to punt in Chargers territory, not once but twice, are going to bite us in the ass.

 

[silverfish]

Oh my God. I think OBJ is done for the year. Looks like his foot went backwards.
