    If teams want to take him early they can find a way to deflect any concerns. Baker going first overall last year & playing like he did might have knocked (some of) the doors down for short QBs too, especially for teams with creative offensive staff that can build a scheme around them.

    EDIT: Brandon Wimbush transferring to UCF for next season. They’re fucked. Guarantee they’ll lose at least three games next year.

    The Colts dumping their O-Line coach is an odd one.

    "DeGuglielmo was the only offensive coach hired before Josh McDaniels turned his back on the Colts' job. Reich wants to bring in his own guy, per Garafolo."

    I never understand this bullshit. He was good, who cares if he wasn't 'your guy'.

    Cause presumably you have a buddy you came up with in the coaching ranks that you want to try and help given your new position.

    Plus, you have a general idea of what that person is thinking, their work ethic, etc. etc.

    Rather bring in a guy who you know is going to fall in line with your ideas on how to run that unit rather than clash over simple shit and then create some kinda issue. Nevermind they're largely an unknown to you otherwise.

    At least, that's my line of thinking.

    Turning the Colts O-Line from one of the worst to one of the best probably should see you hang on to your job ahead of a yes man.

    I mean I see what you're saying but think of it like you're doing a group project at school.

    Would you rather work with someone you know and have worked with before, assuming you think that person can do a good job? Or, someone you don't know entirely, how you mesh together, etc.?

    Though I do appreciate that the guy in question did a great job, I can at least follow the logic in wanting to bring in your own guy to some extent, whether that works for them or not is the gamble.

    You almost hope their line turns to shit again next season. Must have been some differences of opinion between them, surely? Getting rid of the guy if you got on well & he did that good of a job is insane, regardless of whether you’ve got a mate who can step in or not.

    It would make sense at least.

    Speaking of people who seem like pricks, Ohio State QB Tate Martell - the one from the first season of QB 1 on Netflix who’s always looking in the mirror - has transferred to Miami after Justin Fields showed up, having copped a strop to a reporter in their bowl game.

    Committed to Washington & Texas A&M before signing with Ohio State, which probably should’ve given a clue about his loyalty.

    He probably will start for Miami, since (a) Rosier & Perry have both proven themselves to be shit; and (b) I don’t believe he’d go anywhere that wouldn’t have guaranteed him the job, so he’s going to have to prove he’s got the talent to back up the attitude.

    He crushed high school, to be fair, so he’s got something, it’s just whether he can translate that to college & win with his arm & brain rather than his legs.

    DeGuglielmo has done a good job with the Colts OL, but they have got some top talent in there too now, 3 first rounders in the line all playing well so I'd back Reich to bring in someone equally competent.

    Also read that DeGuglielmo basically froze out Denzelle Good, called him "a failure" and "disrespectful to him" because he left the team for a few days as his brother was murdered. Good apparently didn't play another down for the Colts and asked to be cut, and he's now at the Raiders.

    That’s pretty bad if true. Definitely makes sense to get rid of him if that’s the type of guy he is, regardless of who well he coached the line.

    As a huge Miami guy I can only pray. I haven't seen QB1, though, but two of his teammates (including one that just transferred from USC) play here as well so maybe that'll help him stay grounded.

    Ohio State people were all saying "good riddance" to the drama so that's a bit worrying but we need all the help we can get at QB. Rosier is gone, thank God, Perry is still young and has some potential but is a bit of a knucklehead himself, and we don't have a QB committed in the 2019 class as of now, so...

    Hiring Alabama's OC has supposedly put us on the map with a couple QB prospects but we'll see. Getting Jalen Hurts as well in the 'transfer portal' would do a lot to help this problem but I think he goes to Oklahoma or Maryland (where the OC he actually played under at Alabama went).

    Forgot Rosier was a senior. He’ll do well to get drafted - I don’t think he’s even playing at the NFLPA Bowl this week

    He’s definitely not at the Shrine Game, which is running this week. Sounds like Brett Rypien & Jordan Ta’amu have been doing well there, along with WRs Terry Godwin (Georgia) & Ryan Day (Auburn), and DTs Daniel Wise (Kansas) & Daylon Mack (Texas A&M).

    Some small school guys showing up too - KeeSean Johnson (WR, Fresno State who was already a sleeper), BJ Blunt (LB, McNeese State) and Olisaemeka Udoh (OT, Elon) have all had some positive talk, even though I’m pretty sure those last two schools are made up.

    Jalen Hurts is off to Oklahoma.

    Not sure Hurts will do as well as Baker & Kyler have there, but a strong season as a passer would be a huge boost to his draft stock, and it gives Oklahoma time to develop their incoming freshman Spencer Rattler.

    I also forgot that Tate Martell will have to sit out for a year as he's transferred. I'd find it hilarious if Nkosi Perry ran away with the job this year & then beat him out after he'd spent a year on the sidelines

    Panthers are saying that they might sit Newton next season.

    They can have Flacco or RGIII for a third rounder.

    Imagine fields loses his appeal and he has to sit out at Ohio state too.

    That's a seriously big set of shoes to fill in Oklahoma for hurts. But good if they run a similar system and sort of force him to pass. If he struggles he's not NFL calibre. If he improves and thrives his draft stock gets elevated. Win or bust.

    Foles missed part of a drive in the last game of regular season to get an injury checked over, that caused him to miss a bonus incentive for $1m by 4 snaps. Eagles paid him it today anyway. Looks like trying to keep him sweet.

    Going to try and stay up for the first game, doesn't kick off until 8.05pm annoyingly. Second game I'll record though.

    Going to be tough avoiding the scores tomorrow. I also normally book off Super Bowl Monday, but this year I've got two damn important meetings that day so going to have to turn my phone off and pray nobody ruins it for me. Or break my sleeping cycle to watch it. Doable. But it would be painful.

    That anthem was so terrible it was brilliant. Mic drop too. That's going viral.

    They reckon the Chiefs are going to renew Mahomes at the end of next season (the earliest they can) and make him the first $200m player. Fucking hell.

    Even though they keep going on about it, the noise shouldn't be underestimated.

    Still though, the Saints need to start making this good start count. EDIT: There it is.

    The anthem was class, best version ever.

    Amateur hour from the Saints on that punt/pass play. They should have been well aware of the danger.

    Shaping up nicely, especially if LA can score on the first possession of the second half. I think my prior dislike of them is somewhat misplaced.

    Saints have become somewhat likeable for me because of Thomas and Kamara.

    Brees can still fuck off though.

    Saints are dangerous now, you can't let them get Kamara and Ingram going full swing.
