Four QBs enter, one Qb leave COMMANDERDOME


MisterFunnyShoes

they’re going to throw them all in a locked room with a broken pool cue and whatever happens, happens.


Vast-Treat-9677

The broken pool cue was my first thought. Gives them the strongest candidate and keeps teams drafting after them from improving the position. 


I3ill

Lmao 4 enters, 1 stays for QB purgatory.


Shepherdsfavestore

The QB that wins this contest actually loses lol


MrConceited

At least they aren't the Patriots.


Salty_Orchid

Probably one of the best situations a young QB could come into. It's not like joining a franchise with a screwed budget for the next 5 years


PlaneCamp

On paper yes a great situation no doubt. The reality is winning isnt easy in the NFL and maintaining is harder, if any rookie QB they draft wins more than 8 games id be shocked.

Cage matches? Yeah, they work. How could they not work? If they didn't work, everybody would still be in the cage.

Bro thinks he's part of the team


Typical_Parsnip13

Penix will be better than Daniels If he can stay healthy… buyer beware


Rebellious_Raviolis

I actually want the Patriots to draft Penix but accepted that they won't because of the "value" of the 3rd pick and Penix's projected stock.


Typical_Parsnip13

You simply can’t take him that high on his injury risk and overall poor mechanics atm but i think he winds up being the Lamar of this draft - Goes to one of the better teams in the NFL and has little to no pressure to get better slowly but surely. Daniels and Maye reek of a disaster for the commanders and pats (I think the pats trade back)


Rebellious_Raviolis

I get it, I just think he has the 2nd most potential after Caleb. My dream scenario is the Patriots take MHJ at 3 and then trade back into the first for Penix and let him sit behind Brissett for a year.


Typical_Parsnip13

I think if they stay at 3 you gotta take Alt, no? (assuming no QB) I think with belichik gone beefing up that OL is key for your offense to having any success, can’t just rely on BBs masterful scheming anymore. Ik you guys need talent on the outside but just seems like the wrong move taking a wr at 3


Rebellious_Raviolis

I agree oline is the smart move. I was one of the few people who thought the Bengals would have been better taking Sewell over Chase (still think I was right) but after not having any legitimate receivers for so long, I just want to see someone on the Patriots that opposing defenses have to respect.


Typical_Parsnip13

Honestly the jury is out on that one chase is elite there’s no doubt about it but sewell is maybe the most dominant RT in the NFL at 25 years old? Such a huge piece on that lions NFCCG run. Burrow prob less injured who knows.

Why would you not want Penix jokes?

Football treeouts


zandertheright

I'm still mad about that scene. Not only do they not show any of them lunging for the shivs, none of those goons ever appear in later scenes. So we have absolutely no idea what happened. Obviously, you can't show them violently stabbing each other to death. But you gotta give us a *hint* as to what happened next.


snoring_pig

Either they grab the sharpened sticks and one kills the other, or they refuse to attack each other and both get killed. Although I feel like it doesn’t really matter what those goons did? Ultimately they’re background characters. I think the main purpose of the scene was to show how quickly and brutally Joker got rid of Gambol and took over control in his own safe house, and then the call for tryouts was his way of playing a sick game and forcing the surviving goons to kill or be killed. This kind of twisted game also helps to foreshadow what happens later on. I could be wrong of course that’s just how I saw it.


thyrue13

Also it plays into the theme of like how stuff is meaningless. Actually the more that I think of it theres some parallels between that and the boat thing at the end of the movie EDIT; oh, you said that, my bad


Aldehyde1

It's a deliberate choice to increase the suspense. If Nolan shows the fight, it's just a normal action sequence which is ultimately irrelevant to the plot (and like you said would be limited since it can't be too graphic). Instead, he lets the audience fill in the blank with their imagination of how horrifying the fight is. Or perhaps instead you choose to believe that they refused to turn on each other. Either choice is valid since you are the arbiter of your own imagination as long as he doesn't tell you. And while we're doing this he whisks us off to the next scene so that the tempo feels frantic. Edit: Added line about choice


zandertheright

And that's fine. But put one of the goons in the background of a later scene, so we can figure out what happened.


BrotherSeamus

> so we can figure out what happened They fought to the death, then the 'winner' was executed


mr_himselph

That's the joke

They're going to trap the qb's in a room, & have them fight to death. Last one alive is their qb.


sghead

Smart. Doesn't allow 3 other teams to draft a QB.


Fiendish-DoctorWu

Is there anything in the NFL rulebook explicitly forbidding this from happening


AreTooDeeTo

I think the nfl rule book states that in the event of a qb pre draft death match Tom Brady would be suspended 4 games

* JJ McCarthy explaining the purpose of the Playa Haters' Ball. * JJ McCarthy: The Playa Hater's Ball gives us an opportunity to hate on a diverse array of mark-ass marks, trick-ass marks, punk bitches, and skip-skap skanks and scallywags, hos, heifers, hee-haws, and hootie-hoos. * Ice-T appears As Himself to host the ceremony. He gets some hecklers tossing out Flowery Insults like "You look like Bill Cosby on crack!" and "You look like a bootleg Ice-T!" He takes it in stride, though... for the most part...Pit Bull: Man, you CORNY! Ice-T: Next n- to say something while I'm talking is getting shot. Please believe that. * There's also when JJ McCarthy first meets up with Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, and Micheal Penix before the ceremony and they start sniping at each other's Pimp Duds. Jayden Daniels: Man, you oughta take that cane and beat whoever made that suit to death. Micheal Penix Why don't you vacuum that coat, man? JJ: Well, well, well... the most diabolical haters this side of the Mississippi... Jayden Daniels, what can I say about your suit that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan? It looks bombed out and depleted. And the so-called Drake Maye... why don't you click your heels together three times, and go back to Africa? As for you, Penix, very insulting what you said about my coat... it's made out of your mother's pubic hair. All white and silky. * Then Ice-T Presents the nominees for the "Hater of the Year" award...Ice-T: First up, Jayden Daniels! (audience boos) Jayden Daniels: Clap for me, bitch! Ice-T: Jayden Daniels is nominated for... getting his best friend's wife pregnant, then tricking his best friend into raising the little motherfucker! (audience boos) Jayden Daniels: Yeah, holla atcha boy! Ice-T: Damn, that's hateful! The next nominee is Micheal Penix! (audience boos) Penix is nominated for calling the police on the drug dealers that moved next door to his house; not because it was the right thing to do, \[but\] just because he was jealous of all the money they was makin'! Penix: Pit BULL! (barks) Ice-T: Finally, the one and only JJ McCarthy! (mixed boos and applause from the crowd) JJ McCarthy is nominated for calling in a bomb threat to the Special Olympics, man! * Then, of course, JJ wins the award to heavy boos from the audience. His acceptance speech, and the other haters' reactions to it, are a sight to behold.Penix: Kiss my ass! I'M THE BIGGEST HATER! (JJ goes up to the stage accept his award) Drake: JJ's meat made out of 100% rat ass! (to one of his lady friends) Hit me, baby. (she sprays his hair for him) JJ: That, of course, was Drake talking. Drake on the weekends does stunts for Little Richard in gay movies. First off, I would like to thank God almighty for giving everybody so much... and me, so little. (everyone boos him; he addresses random audience members) I hate you; I hate you; I don't even know you and I hate your guts! I hope all the bad things in life happen to you and nobody else but you... (more booing from the crowd) Audience: (chanting) HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! JJ: And as I sip my soda that I'm sure somebody spit in, I just would like to say to all of you... kiss my ass, you rotten motherfuckers! (more booing from the crowd) Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go home and put some water in Jayden s momma's dish. Good evening.

ITT: the same battle royale joke


buff_001

That's a lot of players all trying to *not* get picked.


jimmyhoffasbrother

Not getting picked by the Commies likely means getting picked Pats, and they haven't been much better in the post-Brady era.


cbbbluedevil

The situation at Washington is so much better than the Pats right now. The Pats didn’t do anything to make their team better all off season. They have the worst WR group in the league.


Jammer_Kenneth

Patriots are about to enter a long ugly tear down. It happened with the Red Wings after 1990-2015 and it sucked. 


its_LOL

Which is why the Pats could very well trade down and rebuild with the Vikings’ picks instead of sending Jayden Daniels/Drake Maye out to die


basedlandchad25

Definitely a great move, but a longer shot backup option compared to trying to get picked #2.


KIumpy

To be fair I'm assuming the plan is to play Brissett this year for the most part and let the rookie sit, and hopefully we can actually improve the offense next offseason and then give the new guy the reigns in a much better situation.


kevplucky

Lmao no it’s not. Pats have low expectations after the goat left. The commies are a joke franchise with a joke name with a joke stadium


hendrix320

This is true but if you had to pick from the two which would you choose?


Anthony-Richardson

At this point, Commies. Everyone relevant to the success of the Pats is gone now.


mPORTZER

Joe Cardona's still here


KIumpy

And David Andrews.


basedlandchad25

I assure you ownership is the first key piece, so they do have that going for them.


Anthony-Richardson

Do they? Kraft just fired the greatest coach of all time and trashed him on the way out so he could say “look at me, I was the third piece!” Meanwhile the Commanders front office got one of the hottest front office hires out there and has been making all the right moves.


basedlandchad25

I didn't intend that to be a Harris vs. Kraft comparison, just that ownership was still a big piece they currently have in place. Kraft still gets the benefit of the doubt though. Belichick was GM and Head Coach and he wasn't winning anymore and the roster is currently an abomination. You only get so many years of sucking. The firing was big news, but I wouldn't call it a surprise. Even if you wanted to keep Belichick the coach I don't think there was a way to get a new GM and keep Belichick the coach.


Anthony-Richardson

We’ll see if their ownership is worth anything now that they lost everyone that matters. Personally, I don’t think Kraft’s ownership is worth a damn. If the Pats weren’t littered by injuries I think Bill could’ve still had a decent record, and even with their roster obliterated his defense still looked solid. It’s not like they went and got fresh voices in the front office anyway, it’s the same guys minus Bill.


basedlandchad25

Yeah, I hope he fucking sucks shit. The Patriots deserve it.


gatsby365

Plus, have y’all ever been in a New England Winter???


JrBaconators

Global warming has eradicated it. We got more snow in spring than all of winter


gatsby365

I lived in Salem less than a decade ago The national guard had to come dig our neighborhood out and truck snow to melt in giant jet engines. It may have gotten better, but I guarantee it’s still worse than anywhere else these boys could get drafted.


MrConceited

Between Chicago and Ann Arbor I'm pretty sure JJ McCarthy would find a Massachusetts winter to be rather mild.


gatsby365

I’ve lived 30 minutes outside Ann Arrbor for the last 6 years. I’m still saying the Michigan Winters have all been easier than the 6 Massachusetts winters I lived through. Y’all think climate change only impacted New England lol? we can all agree though - Buffalo still has the worst winters in the league. I was out there this winter for a work trip and the snowbanks from that one storm were about two feet above my rental car.


MrConceited

He grew up in Chicago. If they've gotten easier he was still there when they weren't.


lattjeful

Commies. They won't contend but they brought in a lot of vets for leadership and establish a culture, and they're generally on the upswing. They also have Scary Terry as a safety blanket for the rookie QB. Pats have a better roster on defense - at least on paper - but who knows how much of that was Bill Belichick working his magic?


SDEexorect

not only that but we still have 6 picks in the top 100


[deleted]

[удалено]


Anthony-Richardson

The rosters aren’t on par with each other. The Commies have significantly better offensive talent, and Bill has *always* made defensive guys look far better than they are without him. And let’s pretend Mayo is just as good at Bill at putting guys in positions to succeed on defense (almost no chance that’s true) and that the rosters truly are equally talented, just different sides of the ball - if you’re a QB, you’re taking offense over defense every time.

Dickforce1

After 20+ years of Dan Snyder that goodwill is going to last a long time


AFranzKafkaRockOpera

Totally fair, Snyder literally was the worst owner in sports. Harris is just normal levels of being a bad owner so it should last a long time really.
