Wonder if Slowik was Texans second choice and was signed only after hearing news of Indy's decision? So, will Steichen go after Young? Or Stroud? Still waiting on an announcement for Texans qb coach.
I'm sure that was discussed during his interview with Chris Ballard. Steichen was OC with the Chargers when they took Herbert, and of course coached Jalen Hurts. My guess is Young, but I also believe that's the prevalent ranking among NFL teams.
Two very different style of QB, so the choice is not obvious and he will adjust to strengths apparently
Surely that's subject to change. I think the interviews play a very big role in how teams rank these guys.
Remember Kenny "small hands" Picket from last years Combine ?
We know the weigh-ins this year will be very important especially for the smaller prospects like Bryce Young.

Report: Derek Carr informs Saints he won't accept trade to any team
Derek Carr may eventually end up with the Saints.

An outlier and the refs had to rig the game to make it happen.
The Rams spent 24% of their cap in 2021 in acquiring and paying Stafford. This bs had already been debunked. The next theorem will be that teams have to spend over 17% of their cap on the QB position to win the Super Bowl.

Uh-oh. I feel like a wormhole vortex is about to open and some here are about to be sucked into a black hole never to be heard from again.
OTOH, that probably wouldn't be a bad thing.
Will be interesting to see what Josh does with whoever they have at quarterback..Dom Capers to Carolina

As i don't think Bears trade down, I'm hoping Panthers owner comes hard for 1.2 to get his QB.

I can see Steichen trading down and selecting Anthony Richardson.
I rather get Stroud if the Bears sit tight at 1.

Most will want either Stroud or Young and I believe that will include the Texans brain trust. I don't agree.

Adrian Peterson Talks To Damar Hamlin After Ripping Him For 'Disrespectful' Jacket At SB
Adrian Peterson says he spoke to Damar Hamlin after ripping the 24-year-old's "disrespectful" jacket that he wore to the Super Bowl on Sunday.

I suspect Richardson will be going up and in that top 5 range. Every offensive mind will want to make him the next Jalen Hurts/Josh Allen or Cam Newton (MVP version) and he’s got the best physical tools in the draft.

I'm led to believe he is a bit raw.
Oh well, some good coaching should help with that.
This isn't what the experts say. But you know more than they do.
Anyways, can you spell OUTLIER. If Philly had won, which they should've won, would you be making this post?
Truth is since the cap began the 2 greatest QB's of this generation are the only QB's to break the trend. Burrow might be the only other guy to do it and the sample size from 1994 isn't a short period of time either.
What I dont get is your really pushing for QB's to get paid despite this evidence.

Tom Brady influences this list greatly...since 2000 Superbowl non-first round QBs (not named Brady). Foles 3rd, Brees 2nd (32nd pick even) Wilson 3rd.

Eli falls into this technical, not reality category also. Both were traded for significant assets and were career QBs for the Broncos and Giants.

I really pity the team that makes that type of investment in either Richardson or Levis. Physical tools are abundant, but the ticker between their ears is what concerns me. For me, both of these guys are RD3 or later talent. It would make my day to see the Colts take a swing on one of the two.

He is. But this is a copycat league and there are coaches that think they can create the next Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts. Especially that new HC in Indy.

Sounds a lot like OB when he got his first HC job… Hopefully Steichen isn’t the next Mcvay!

Shane Steichen will call plays, build Colts offense around QB
The Colts answered one big offseason question on Tuesday when they hired Shane Steichen as their new head coach and Steichen answered a couple of others during his introductory press conference.

I'm curious about how many teams paying their left tackle big money have won a SB. Per over the cap in 2023 Tunsil's cap hit will be $35,210,834 or 15.4% of the cap.
The last time the Cardinals hired a coach I wanted was Bruce Arians. He had a pretty good run there

Derek Carr is officially a FA.
The notion is merely to be responsible with your cap spending. It's that simple. And it's something most anyone can agree with.
The QB blah blah blah part is merely people painting a target around an arrow. They'll erase their target when necessary, ie when it's no longer valid, and feverishly paint some more to fit their needs. Etc, etc, etc..
Tell us when this will be og wise one. Please gift us with your abounding knowledge of all things.
Fact is there's a trend with the only guys to beat the trend are the 2 greatest QB's in the 28 yrs. Continue on
I'm not carrying around the paint for the target.
Funny, once not that long ago it was 'none at all, can't happen' absolute rule.. now it's only 'those two'..
Could an option ever be to say, 'well f*ck, that was wrong..'?
Nah, I doubt it.

meanwhile 13%ers talk about how malleable the cap is
Can you say outlier and K.C. shouldn't have won that game.
It's gonna have to be more than twice in 24 yrs to even consider it to be nothing more than outliers of the 2 greatest QB's of their generations to beat the trend
But you can admit you're wrong at any time.
You spend too much on your QB and you can't put a team around him.
Are you kidding me.. I called it several days ago..
So, if the Chiefs win, it'll be updated no QB making 18% of the team's salary cap has ever won a Super Bowl.
You're childlike predictable..
If you'd like, just ask and I'll tell you when you're ready for your binky..

I think the 49’ers are already making Carr a jersey. He’s a perfect fit for their system, and they’re in their Super Bowl window.
They could put Lance on the market to gain a pick or two, and have Purdy as QB2.
No other team could offer Carr a better opportunity.
