Rapoport: Patriots quietly bring in Lamar Jackson for Pre Draft Visit

[TB_Helmet]

You’re just being intellectually dishonest now.

1. To refute my point about the redraft you posted links where the premise was to redo a specific year. Which was not my original premise. So yeah if you change the entire context of the argument, you are right. Big win there.

2. No you are a homer if you think the vast majority of GM’s would take Brady over Rodgers right now. We’d probably sign him if he was a free agent and said he wanted to play here.

3. Rodgers had two injuries 5 years apart. Both are injuries that are not tough to come back from. Wentz is a riskier player and got himself injured on a needless play. Wentz was injured in 2015 in college and was injured this year. So he was injured 2 out of the 3 most recent years he played. Whose riskier, the guy who had two injuries 5 years apart in a career that so far has spanned 10 years in the pros as a starter or the guy who was injured his last year of college and second year in the pros? Also let’s go a step further, how many QB’s had incredible rookie or sophomore years only to crash back to Earth? The answer is a lot. This is a league about consistency. Last year you would have argued for Dak

I'm sure there are plenty of GMs that would take Rodgers over Brady for next year, just like there are plenty that would take Brady.

But to point 3, if you account for age and say 'you can have any QB in the league for the rest of his career' I bet that a lot of GMs would think for a long time about taking Wentz over everyone else.

Didn’t see it myself but was told Jackson was on tv today guaranteeing a Sb

Good thing we took the RB. Lamar Jackson living up to his 13 (out of 50) wonderlic score. BTW, Brady scored a 33. Not that wonderlic is always a great predictor, but probably not optimal to have your QB as one of your lowest scores. In this case the score seems pretty indicative of lack of common sense and intelligence... TMZ

Well, there was a Super Bowl. If he guaranteed a Super Bowl, it did happen.

Brain dead. You can tell by looking at his face/eyes that there ain’t much going on upstairs. The lights are on and someone is home, but they’re in a coma.

Ever occur to people the Patriots bring in guys like Jackson because they know they’ll be facing him? You really think they’re going to draft a run-first QB with horrible accuracy and a 13 Wonderlic score? Lol.

I'm a homer and I'd take Tom Brady over Discount Double Dork...today, yesterday, and ten years ago.If this pains you whatever-the-****-kind-of-fan you think YOU are,tough shyt. No one is twisting your arm to be a Pats fan.

This post about Wentz did not age well.

This post about Wentz did not age well.

I would like to place a bet that Foles has a better year than Wentz, I wonder what the odds would be?

This is a ridiculous notion. That the team would waste resources on a player like this just for inside knowledge on how to beat them? C'mon man, that's bonkers silly. Belichick isn't going to waste time on scouting someone who might never start a game in the NFL. And they're not going to rely on a single day interaction vs. waiting for the guy to put plays on tape so they can scout the player based on what they became not who they were fresh out of college like 2 years ago.

They invited him in to get an idea of who he was as a player and person and how important football was to him in case he dropped to them.

I just never thought they’d draft him since his accuracy and Wonderlic would make him a giant outlier for them.

I always assumed BB was hyping him up so another team would take him and not one of the players he wanted.

 

[TBR]

He's as dumb as he looks.

You can never always judge a book by its cover...but in this case you can.
