NGT: Paxton Lynch demoted to 3rd string.

Came from a pure spread with one read. He was either going to get it or fail.

So what they did was right.

LOL

One of the few busts I got right so far.

We all got hits and misses. I was 100% convinced that Matt Ryan was going to suck. I was also 100% positive that Johnny Football was going to be a star.

I thought Laquon Treadwell was going to be the next Alshon Jeffery... what can you do.

Maybe he'll turn it around in the magical year 3. :)

If that is true, you are a really bad QB evaluator. I doubt Sy'56 asks you to help.

Johnny Football....geez

Busts while they were in college were Geno Smith and Paxton Lynch.

His numbers in the NFL are better than they were at fucking North Dakota State. Go figure.

"draft a good QB available in the first round"

How does paxton lynch make these sentences work?

LOL. I was really off about Johnny Football. No excuses there.

But, and I've said this before, I remember watching the 2000 Orange Bowl between Alabama & Michigan & saying to a buddy, 'This Tom Brady guy is good.' Now, did I think he would probably become the GOAT in terms of QB? Hell no. But I would have predicted he would be a good NFL QB.

Talent is always irrelevant.

remember that Kelly was "Mr. Irrelevant" in last year's draft. He almost went undrafted because of character and injury concerns. He has talent.

drafted Lynch and Tebow.

I’ve done pretty well on my personal player Evals. The feather in my cap last year being Kareem Hunt. I also nailed Rob Havenstein (Rams RT)a couple drafts back.

As far as my blown predictions. I though Jameis Winston would be an MVP caliber QB by now. I really liked his game coming out of FSU. Thought Damontre Moore could be a very good player for us. The old Sean Weatherspoon vs Rolando McClain debate I was on team Weatherspoon.

After the fact, sure. But leading up to the draft there were supposedly many teams that liked him. He was very hyped up at the time

If he had better than a 10-cent head he'd be a star.

SPOOOOOOOOOON!

Manziel vs Evans debate. It was pretty clear who had future star potential and who was benefiting most from the other.

That was a true test of who actually watched Johnny Manziel and who scouted him through ESPN highlights. That was a clear case of a QB getting bailed out by a 6'5 freak on mad scrambles and jump balls.

So the Giants should’ve drafted Josh Allen? Fuck. Well, this season is a bust.

Thanks Gettleman.

Manziel did a fantastic job keeping plays alive in college. Was also able to throw on the run in college. But I lost count with how many times Evans bailed him out.

But for me the one that stands out is Matt Stafford. I realize he was obviously a top pick by the time he entered the draft, but the first time I seen him play early in his career, I couldn’t believe how effortlessly he threw the ball. At the time, I’d never heard of him but after that game I followed him closely to see how he developed. Turned out pretty good!

My biggest miss was probably RG3. I thought we’d be screwed for a decade going against him

I think if he had stayed healthy, he might have made good on that.

I'm still waiting for KWALL to show me that I did, since he tried to call me out for it. In a shocking turn of events, he refused to admit that he was wrong.

He's been a disaster from day 1. Can't believe he was once even mentioned in the same breath as Wentz and Goff

will always be my biggest miss. I wanted Eli badly, but I thought Gallery was going to be unreal. I don’t think I was alone in that feeling.

for Jaylon Smith when Denver out bid them for Lynch.

Like they say, sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make.

P.S. Jaylon Smith is going to be a star this year.

Go find a Cowboys board, dickhead.

John Elway did not draft Tim Tebow

He was getting lots of praise for his team building, but he has had a number of misses as well.

It’s basically across the board in the NFL. Tons of misses for most franchises, even the Pats.

Ha Ha, McClain was one guy I absolutely hated coming out of the draft. One of the MOST overrated players coming out in years.

Our friend can be a bit stubborn at times.

Like Davis Webb.

but he hasn't been done any favors by Denver. If you're going to trade up to draft a spread QB, at the very least, try and put him in a position to succeed. Incorporate some spread concepts to get him comfortable and then introduce more complex concepts.

Says even the teams who are the VERY BEST at identifying and drafting talent still consistently miss at a 20% rate.

This isn't true: "refused to admit that he was wrong."

On my Coleman callout thread, the I recognized the list of posters as Treadwell guys. I thought you were one. While searching for it I found the gem by Arc that not only did he love Treadwell but he also loved Coleman.

That ended my search so I could run back to mock Arc.

Would you like an apology for lumping you in with the others? Did that hurt your feelings?

OK. I was wrong for implying you liked Treadwell. Is that the admission you were looking for?

I didn't refuse to admit I was wrong about you. I just ignored you as I was having more fun getting abuse from FMIC.

I don't like giving you abuse!

I want you to just stick to solid football posts instead of going down rabbit holes and hyping up guys.

.

And dammit it isn't over for Corey Coleman!

But maybe I will pull back on the hyperbole. Should I delete my "Albert Wilson is going to the probowl" post? Its a beauty.

Because he had a cool name. If his name was Glenn Spunkmyer, he probably would have been undrafted.
