Post-Game Talk: NFL Week 2: Seattle 23 New England 20 F: OT

[Oates2Neely]

100% Rob.

I know the Pats had to make a decision, but that guy is a legit #1 as they come.

It’s only been 2 weeks. I’d argue Malik Nabers has had a better start to his career than any 2024 1st round pick.

Taking a WR with no plan at QB isn’t a strategy I’d subscribe to. Brisett to Harrison Jr? Brisett can’t throw deep.

All the QBs would have been gone by R2 as well. Nabers has looked better than MHJ.

Drafting Maye and sitting him is the correct move. Bo Nix has been awful and thrown game killing picks, Williams is getting murdered even though he is pretty much ready, Daniels OK and Minnesota might not want to replace Darnold if he keeps it up.

We might have nothing with Polk and Baker but even so just as depth receivers they should be OK.

Chiefs get bailed out again! WTF!

You legitimately feel that wasn't DPI?

No, from what I saw the ball was not catchable, too high.
There were some non calls, that were puzzling to me, the helmet to helmet hit from a Houston player, it wasn't even mentioned. Then the punch thrown by a Houston player on the sidelines, then same player Head-butted a Bear player all in the same sequence, but no call, nothing!.

I believe....:checks notes:....literally everyone knew this.

Not everyone.

I would have taken him and went into the draft next year looking for a QB. They better hope Maye is the franchise, truly. I'd rather have a true #1 WR and build that way.

That's just me though. This team has more holes than those two positions. So it doesn't matter

I’m 50-50 on this.

But I do know this much… if the Patriots drafted Harrison at 3 and didn’t draft a top quarterback to throw to him this year, all we would hear all season long is: “who’s the next quarterback going to be?” For all the holes on this team, at least we’re not listening to that bullshit for a year or two.

 

[JRull86]

Harrison looks legit, but without a plan at QB, there is no point in taking a WR like that.

This upcoming QB class is doodoo as well.

Show me a team that has won a SB recently with an elite WR and a mid QB, because I genuinely cannot think of one.....Tampa Bay in 2002 if you consider Keyshawn Johnson elite at the time?

The point is, drafting/acquiring the WR should be the final piece after a QB and OLine is in place in my eyes.

 

[FrankerC]

I’m convinced he’ll be a future Hall of Famer. The real deal.

That was the consensus during the draft. He had franchise HOF talent. Hope he keeps his head on straight and doesnt become a diva like a lot of new players. Fun rooting for talent.

Panthers bench Young, to start Dalton vs. Raiders

Veteran Andy Dalton is replacing Bryce Young as the starting quarterback for the Panthers after the team's 0-2 start, coach Dave Canales said Monday.

Boy did CAR screw this pick, and the trade itself big time.

Literally might be an all-time worst trade

 

[bb74]

Lots of time ahead to know if the draft works out or not. Not a lot of sense in second guessing after 2 games and not seeing the future stud or bust QB anyhow.

Just as you can say take MJ at 3, why not trade back a few and get Alt and extras - that extra 2nd could have gotten them back into the first for Worthy and maybe more. Anyhow, all this speculation is like a creative writing course without a plot and ending. Just too early...

Have to think big picture. How good are any of the 2025 QBs? Beck, barely led Georgia over Kentucky. Sanders, Ewers? Who else is good for this draft? Unless the staff trusts Maye behind the OL, they will keep JB in at QB. But, I do think Maye will play by Nov.

End of the day, they lost a close game vs SEA. Couldn't block for a FG attempt to force seattle to score a td. Stuffed on 3rd and shot in OT. Have to tip the cap to Z. Charbonnet on that great play that you can't teach. Put his hand down to maintain balance and did that flip to convert 3rd and 6 at midfield. Insane athletic ability.

The absolute greatest thing that possibly could have happened was drafting MHJ at 3 this year then drafting Arch Manning in 2026 and having them dominate the league for 15 years (and make Indianapolis seethe).

For those reasons, and those reasons alone, I was hoping that would happen.

I'd take Sanders. And I'd take Manning too.

That's if we didn't draft Maye.

You still may have a chance at taking Manning in 2026 if Maye doesn't pan out...

That's one of the arguments for playing Maye now, rather than waiting......You wanna give him 2 years of game exposure to understand what you have.

You saying you would have taken him ahead of Maye is very different and something you can fairly brag about if Maye isn't a really good QB.

I don't want to brag on Maye even if he doesn't pan out.

If I was GM, that's how I would of approached this season. MJH. Try to trade back in for OL help. I would of been comfortable this year with Brissett or another vet until next year to draft a QB Shadeur Sanders looks fantastic. Arch Manning at some point. I don't think we necessarily needed Maye or Daniels etc this year.

But that's what we have. Hopefully we can develop the kid, while also fixing the OL.
