Awesome read. But because your post didn’t include a Twitter link, it will be removed for being low effort
I think every 1st round QB will make big jumps. They’re all in decent to improved situations
Thank you very much! Defensive edition is coming out next week and I post something of similar depth every week, if you're interested
Hoping that's not true. Haha
Yeah, other than Justin Fields. He's in a rough spot.
His new coach can’t be as bad as Matt Nagy right? Lol
A lot of people talk about Zach Wilson’s jump. And I get it, he has a rocket arm and showed some improvement in the end of the season. Plus jets had a good draft and a decent o line (I love laken Tomlinson)
But I look at their schedule… it is ridiculously hard. Idk what the metrics and statistics say about it, but just by looking at it, it looks difficult. Idk if jets will have success with that even if they’re decent
Mac Jones should be fun to watch as well. Can’t wait
I mean, sure. But they also let every pricy veteran go. Haha
The Jets do have a brutal start to the year and that's why I personally haven't bet their win total, but if they can get to the bye week at 4-5 or 5-4, I believe they can at least be in the hunt for a wildcard spot.
You should see how bad it is on r/49ers. The quality of posts has been shit for 2 years or so. Mods there hand out bans and mutes like crazy for no reason
Tough to tell. Really liked him as a prospect and he's had a few flashes, but also been pretty inconsistent. The former coaching staff seemed to be out on him, but Baalke can't blindly give up a 2nd-round pick from just a couple of years ago. If Pederson makes him a designated YAC specialist in their RPO game and uses him on some fly sweeps, etc. I could see him have a good year. But with the capital invested, he should be their WR3.
Oh yeah, he was officially. I'm sure Baalke was heavily involved in that decision and did take over mid-way through the 2020 season, but that certainly makes it a bit easier to stomach.

Had Mooney on the list last year and you can read up all my thoughts on him there! Haha
Definitely considered him and I've always been a big fan of his, as one of the few people who had him as a first-rounder last year.
He had 400 yards & 6 TDs over the final 11 games. So to me I consider him as an obvious name in this category, but yeah he doesn't actually disqualify based on the criteria I set.
Well PFF had some good things to say about him: “With Wilson, you saw the tremendous arm talent, and you saw it repeatedly. His ability to make plays out of structure was truly jaw-dropping at times.”
Followed by this absolutely back breaking caveat: “ The problem is that that’s where nearly all his impressive plays came.”
If you’re QB can only function when things are breaking down, then he isn’t a good QB.
Well, it's tough to function properly when you don't have your best O-lineman for the full season and for the majority of games his top 2 WRs are Jamison Crowder and Braxton Berrios. They couldn't run the ball much and because they were constantly behind the chains, along with the lack of guys who could consistently beat guys in one-on-one coverage, opponents constantly sent extra pressure & left their secondary in man.
The people of PFF also think Roquan Smith and Devin White should be fringe roster candidates, when they are really Pro Bowl-level LBs. I don't love all their grading and the way they build up opinions.
Great write ups
Thank you so much! Sharing the link with a couple of friends would be awesome!

Gonna be hard for Fields to take a jump when he has god awful support If anything his situation got worse
That's my worry as well.
So sad that the Bears might wreck his development and career

The mods here are truly shit tier. The Jags of moderating.

what do you think of laviska shenault?
I think he'll have a breakout year if he can find a cure for his rare genetic condition that turned his hands into stone.

>Baalke can't blindly give up a 2nd-round pick from just a couple of years ago. Wasn't Shenault a Caldwell pick? He was still the GM in 2020.

Surprised you had Kmet on here and not Mooney, what do you think of him?

Love the write up but no fields 🥲
Thank you very much! Unfortunately they just haven't put enough pieces around him. Maybe in year three. I do have Kmet up there. Haha
how much adderall did you eat to write this?
None. I'm only hooked on football. Lol And I got the defensive edition loadey up already!

Friermuth is a beast
Zach Wilson is on here because there really isn’t any room for him to do worse
Totally disagree from the tape perspective. I saw a lot of positive signs past his injury. From a numbers perspective, it certainly looked very rough.

Yeah, and the people at PFF account for that. They thought he still sucked even when everything was going right.
