Sean Payton on the Qb's

OBJRoyal : 4/16/2018 5:10 pm
“I don’t see Luck in this draft, and I don’t see Carson Wentz, who I liked a lot coming into the draft,” Payton said. “I’d feel a little bit uneasy if I were at the top of this draft and I decided I had to have a quarterback. The pressure to get a quarterback is so great in this league, I get that. But we can’t create ’em. I wouldn’t be surprised if only one of these guys is left standing in four or five years, and if so, I’d guess it would be Sam Darnold.”

Maybe Sean wants one to drop?? or maybe he's right

how many times has it been stated by the wise.. word taken by all this time of year is basically lies.

So he doesnt lke Darnold

and would be happy if any of the others dropped to him. Dont take the word of any coaches.
Or, maybe he figures they'll all be gone by the time his team picks,

My thought as well. Love the Wentz line too, I bet Payton didn’t think highly of him coming out either but now he’s the gold standard for prospects.
None of the QBs are dropping to the Saints

Still don’t believe him, I think he’s full of shit. Either wants one to drop, knows none will be in reach, or both. He’d be singing a much different tune if he were picking in the top 10. He also doesn’t have a 2nd to move up either so I’m guessing he hasn’t don’t much work at all on this QB class.

Doesnt mean they couldn’t trade up for one they like if he falls far enough
Sounds like he is saying

My first thought too when I heard the comments. It's easy now to say you loved Wentz. As for Luck, he was a once a decade prospect. Waiting for a guy like that to come along (Peyton, Elway, etc.) before drafting a QB early will lead to lots of coaches being fired and franchises being a total mess. There's risk with 99.9% of these picks.
YES. THANK YOU.

This is what I've been saying all along.

"But we'll never pick this high again"
"Eli is 37 and declining"


You can't force a pick. That sets back the franchise even further.

GeorgeAdams33 : 4/16/2018 6:58 pm : link
...if Payton liked Wentz and Luck before. He is saying that there is no QB in this class that stands out as a franchise guy. They all have their flaws. Their values are inflated by the need at the position. Buyer beware. I love how some of you hear a quote or read of a transaction and instantly you extrapolate all sorts of speculative ramifications.

My speculation comes from A. Payton is already a dishonest cheating scumbag and B. he’s got no shot at drafting any of these guys. Why should anyone believe what he says, good or bad?

If he just said “there’s no Luck in this draft” I’d have absolutely no problem with it. But then he lumps in a QB from a crap conference, who played 1 full season of college football.

I like Wentz, but as a prospect he wasn’t close to Luck.

all a cauldron of misinformation. I'm sure he loves all the QBs, and as others have said, is hoping one falls to the Saints.

He wants Baker Mayfield to drop, He would fit right in there behind Brees.........
What a jerk.  
DonQuixote : 4/16/2018 7:22 pm : link
So he is predicting Rosen, Allen, Mayfield, Jackson, Rudolph, Falk, Lauletta, etc, etc.

They'll all be out of the league in 5 years?

OK Sean

Anak, don't be ridiculous. All these teams are trying to trade up, but there are no good QBs in the draft? Why buy what Payton says?
There are a lot of experts out there who are saying the same thing

Rather than sit in our loungers with our cans of beer and ridicule a guy who is an expert in player evaluation, we should acknowledge that he knows what he is talking about and that these QB's are not sure picks.

Are they saying that nobody but Darnold is even going to be in the league. It is an insult to those other players and probably way off. Look, maybe none of the QBs are worth the #2 pick, that's debatable, but what Payton said was an insult to these talented young players.
Many people made their minds up last spring that this QB class was

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ALREADY. Literally not one single person, whether they're an NFL coach or a "guy who sits in his lounger" thinks this group of QBs is without flaws or that there are any "sure picks" among them. The problem is he cites Andrew Luck, then lumps Carson Wentz in with him. If the only time a team could draft a QB is when waiting for a Luck-type prospect, no one would ever draft QBs. Those guys rarely come around. Carson Wentz was no Andrew Luck as a prospect regardless of how Payton felt about him, so his comments come off as disengenous.

There's no consensus, Yat. Some people like this class; some people don't. I don't think there's a blue chip QB talent in this draft.

They have such a stellar track record. Losman, manziel, Sanchez, EJ Manuel, weeden, Tebow, quinn and that's not even talking free agents. They are all quarterback desperate team's. Not exactly the team's I would want to look at in regards to determining what type of quarterbacks are in this class.

No one is going to validate this class with their opinion. Not general managers, coaches, scouts or draft experts. It all depends on what Gettleman and pat shurmur think. They might be right or wrong.

Accorsi had a conviction on Eli Manning despite the naysayers. He could have taken different routes in getting a quarterback and I remember a lot of people screaming how the chargers fleeced us when they got merriman, kaeding and a host of other players.
The Bills didn't move up to 12 for no reason; rumors are they want to  
yatqb : 4/17/2018 1:02 am : link
get up higher for one of the QBs.

I'm not suggesting that we should automatically draft a QB at 2. But if DG and Shurmur love one who's there when we're on the clock it would be crazy not to take him.

But certainly Payton's comments wouldn't factor into my decision. After all, who knows what his agenda is. And whether you think this is a good QB draft or not doesn't make it so, Anak. I'll trust Shurmur on this.

But I'll add that it would be foolish for the Giants to decide that Eli has many more good years in him. If we get one more I'll be grateful.
If you ask me it was a pretty dickhead thing to say

about a bunch of guys that are about to have their dreams come true in less than 2 weeks. Being drafted by an NFL team at a likely high spot.

Yet they basically will all fail and will have other careers in a few years.

What an ass...

The vast majority considers this QB class to be the most promising in years.

About prospects some other team will be drafting. He comes off as a prick. For starters, it’s doubtful he’s gone through the process teams picking at the top of the draft have. He’s not studying these guys but is going to throw out his opinion that these kids are going to fail? What a jerk.
