In 5 years we’ll all be at Amazon stadium ordering beer and hot dogs at our seat having them flown over and dropped off by a drone. Can’t wait
Drone delivery in “The Hub” Amazon Stadium!! Can’t wait! Lol….In 5 years we’ll all be at Amazon stadium ordering beer and hot dogs at our seat having them flown over and dropped off by a drone. Can’t wait
I’ve read up about the draft, quite a bit — and there are provably 13-15 guys I’d be *thrilled* that they took at #16. I discounted all DL’s, all RB’s, and all WR’s.
I could list them, but I think ppl can check it out.
Skins will get someone really good, and can maybe trade back 5-10 slots and still get a few of “their guys”, and collect more assets.
Irsay hinting Young won’t make it past IND at 4. CHI very pleased with his comment.
Anthony Richardson is being talked about as someone DC should take at 16.Any of them a QB? Or are we counting on Sam "60 minutes of experience" Howell to be our guy?
There are probably 4 1st round QB’s. Young, Stroud, Levis, and Richardson. Only Richardson *might* be avail at 16. However, of not, that pushes all the DB’s, OL’s, and LB’s back to us.Any of them a QB? Or are we counting on Sam "60 minutes of experience" Howell to be our guy?

He looks like a bigger Lamar Jackson or a Cam Newton clone. If Greg Roman is hired I’d expect DC to make a move for him if they don’t think he will fall to 16.
Sheehan had a PFF guy on last week who said Richardson can read defenses. Richardson has poor mechanics which makes him inaccurate at times. Also, his WR Corp wasn’t great. A lot of drops. The PFF guy says if whoever drafts him can fix his mechanics Richardson could be pretty good. Well worth the 16th pick or higher if they can trade up.Except Jackson proved he could do the job in college and Richardson hasn’t come close. Less than 400 attempts in his career with less than 55% completion percentage, in college. And this year, basically his only year as a starter he was under 54%.
Sure he had all the physical tools but being able to read defenses and complete passes is a pretty important skill and he hasn’t come close to showing he can do that.
This team has way too many holes to roll the dice on that guy IMO.
I'm still leery on fixing 'poor mechanics'. Kinda not sure why this is not addressed before getting drafted.Sheehan had a PFF guy on last week who said Richardson can read defenses.

Picking outside the top 10 you have to roll the dice on QBs. Richardson would fall in that category. Or sit tight, draft for need and go forward with Howell and a Vet.
I’d rather take a swing with Richardson, Howell and a Vet. Then franchise Payne and trade him for picks. Late first or a 2nd and change. Then get O-line and defensive depth.
Yeah presumably the Florida coaching staff has been trying to fix his poor mechanics for a few years now. But the ‘skins’ staff is going to get it done…I'm still leery on fixing 'poor mechanics'. Kinda not sure why this is not addressed before getting drafted.
I suppose it depends on which mechanics are poor. Phillip Rivers had probably the worst throwing mechanics in football history but he is a borderline HOF QB. I believe the PFF guy said Richardson’s mechanics issues are with his feet.Yeah presumably the Florida coaching staff has been trying to fix his poor mechanics for a few years now.

Is there a QB in modern history who has completed less than 54% of his passes in his draft year and went on to be a solid NFL quarterback? I honestly don’t know but I have serious doubts.
Will be very impressed if Riverboat can actually pull this off.

OH Come ON dude…..Ha! Maybe my pointing this out a few weeks ago wasn’t me “being on drugs” or a fairy tale.
Not meant at you, ABro— just a certain someone else whose name I won’t mention, but his nickname is……LOL. Nah.
This may be my 2nd point awarded. If so, watch out board, I will be an egotistical terror!!!!
I cannot imagine Andy Reid, EB‘s agent, friends, family, etc……saying “yeah Snyder and DC in 2023 is THE play for your career”…….not for Ron “we can be eliminated?!” Rivera…..I have a hard time imagining what would possess EB to leave the Chiefs and joint this circus. Maybe its a pure cash play? Maybe its some internal desire to prove he is so good that he can overcome all the drama and weakness surrounding this whole franchise. Maybe he thinks this is his best path to a HC opportunity.
Whatever it is, I see him moving from KC to DC and a poor decision for him and that makes me question everything about it.

The guy wants to be a head coach. That's his ultimate goal. He has maxed out his utility as an OC in KC. He still doesn't call plays there and won't as long as he stays there. Not calling plays may be a big knock against him in his interviews and he probably would want to go to a place where he runs the entire offense and calls the plays.I have a hard time imagining what would possess EB to leave the Chiefs and joint this circus.

There are 32 OC jobs in the world. There are seven (I think) vacancies right now: Indianapolis, Arizona, Washington, Philly, Carolina, Denver, and SF. Kyle calls the plays in SF so that's out. The Colts hired the Eagles OC who has said he will call plays. Philly is promoting their QB coach to OC. Payton will run the offense and call plays in Denver. Reich is said to be trying to bring someone from the Eagles to run the offense in Carolina but he may call plays as well.I cannot imagine Andy Reid, EB‘s agent, friends, family, etc……saying “yeah Snyder and DC in 2023 is THE play for your career”…….not for Ron “we can be eliminated?!” Rivera…..

So that leaves Arizona and Washington as your two vacancies. The Cardinals have Kyler but he tore his ACL late in the season, they're coming off a 4-13 season, they have a garbage roster, and they've outwardly said they want to trade Hopkins this offseason. They almost certainly will be a bottom five team again this year.
What other options are out there for him that check the boxes of being able to run an offense and call plays and have some talent to work with? And as much flack as Ron gets from fans, he's highly respected across the league as both a coach and a person.
