Re: CBS SPORTS: Ranking top QBs from 2020-2024 draft classes: Here's how Caleb Williams, C.J. Stroud and others stack up
Not worth the read IMO. I was hoping it was ranking them on the potential as a prospect when they entered the draft. I know the writer is basing rookies based on their college performances and projecting that talent to the pros. But it's like comparing apples to oranges, not valid comparing pros to...

Re: 2024 NFL Rule Changes
My first instinct is that most returns will be about the same length. Everyone's kind of bunched up and not as spaced out as when you're running so far.
If you do actually break through the wall, though, there's really nothing behind it, except the kicker.

Re: 2024 NFL Rule Changes
Good to hear push back from players on hip drop tackles. It's funny to think of it from a wr's prospective too: you want to tackle a linebacker? Either you hip drop them, or you take out his knees. Imo outlawing hip drops will just further increase leg injuries. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...

Re: 2024 NFL Rule Changes
Ummm...onside kicks are allowed, but the kicking and receiving team lines are going to be 30 yds away from the kicker???
Or do they mean you have to announce an onside kick and then you go back to lining up the current way, instead of the new way??

The grades aren't very meaningful, since they didn't explain their metric: Teams who improved their on-field talent most/least, regardless of resource available? Best use of cap resource, however much/little it may have been? If two teams did almost the same amount of good, but one spent a lot and o...

I didn't realize JJ's games missed was so bad last year (2022). Yikes! One big stumbling block with Jenkins (beyond the games missed) is that the tags are done purely by OL, not by T/G/C, the way they ought to be. So tagging Jenkins is probably out of the question - which really hampers your leverag...

Everybody showed notable differences under pressure vs not. Except one. Cutler was...

Re: New Bears numbers, so far
Scales is old. Probably lots of vet rest days in his future 😂 Maybe we are stockpiling long snappers like we did TEs a few years ago. Maybe they're going to emulate that hilarious Bringing In a Dozen Kickers thing from a few years back, but with punters, so they need a fleet of LS to go with.

So I don't put much stock into PFF grades (mainly because I don't under how they are generated), but it appears they give very little love to our new additions. That's the problem, I think. When looking at Chicago’s new additions, there’s one thing that stands out: Most of them were graded extremel...

Re: New Bears numbers, so far
I missed the signing of not 1 but 2 long snappers? Guess the Patrick Scale era is over. He's getting old, so bringing in guys to get familiar and audition for the future makes sense... ...except for 1 of the 2 being even older than Scales(?!?!?) Is he hurt and going to miss part of camp or something?

Re: What Bagent is up to
And fundamentally I don't think you need a backup QB that's massively similar to your starter. Neither do I. Who said anything about that? So we're left with the kind of option that would cost $12.5m like Minshew, $10m for Darnold, $8m for Brissett. Well, I think the Titans have got a steal with Ru...

Yeah. He does need a "this is a guy who we could keep on the roster, if we don't draft one" level DL guy, though, and I don't think this qualifies. There are some players ranked in round three that have shown some NFL type talent but will end up up more as role players somewhat like the k...

Poles has a 90 man roster to fill. He's gonna sign some guys to minimum deals in order to do that because he lacks later round picks.
