What does that have to do with defense specifically? [Reply]

How quaint.
That’s generous of you to call the donks middling [Reply]
He was NOT #1 and was ranked below both Spencer Rattler and Jayden Daniels.
That said, recruiting rankings mean dick and it only matters how the player actually performs when the lights are brightest.
Oh, for sure. High School rankings mean almost fuck all when it comes to success at the NFL level, but it's hilarious to dunk on Knowmo when he says such easily disprovable bullshit. [Reply]

Everyone remember when they raved about the same exact things from Mac Jones?
31 games played at Alabama

Very smart

If Bo is what Payton thinks he is, Denver will be in great shape over the next five years. The Broncos took their medicine with the Russ contract and are set to have a full slate of draft picks for the first time in years. Hitting on a franchise QB without giving up the farm in order to do so is a major boon for the Broncos.
Every other contender is dealing with an exorbitant QB contract and the cap challenges that come with it. Then you have teams, like KC, that are overpaying older stars who are on the precipice of a steep, age-related decline.
Denver and Houston are ready to do some damage. [Reply]

He won’t be starting. He’s about to lose an open competition to Zach Wilson [Reply]
