Danny Etling Signs 4 Year Contract. (Merge)

[Peachhead]

etling stinks.

weird draft...

There weren't really any QBs left. If they can work on this guy's pocket presence we may have something. He only had two ints last year. So at least he wasn't throwing it up for grabs whenever he got pressured.

I'm really bummed we missed out on Mike White, and personally I wasn't enamoured with Luke Falk.

I think Etling has icebergs on his shoulders... First he will knock Hoyer off the roster.

The opprotunity was there. After we drafted Wynn and Michel which I think are great picks because although it’s a boring pick, Nate solder needed to be replaced and Sony Michel is a beast. But after we drafted Wynn and Michel there were other talented qbs on the board but bill obviously wasn’t impressed for whatever reason.

57% of his passes? Lol that’s terrible.

What is worst is he "panics" when pocket collapses.. Not really a good NFL trait.

With all those picks stockpiled we should get a Good young QB in 2019. I did like White alot myself. We still have the GOAT at least for two years hopefully.

A little higher than Lamar Jackson

Is it realistic to believe we sign Manziel to come and be the heir apparent?

That can be worked on. At least he didn't throw it up for grabs when he paniced (2 ints last year).

 

[TBR]

I’m sure he doesn’t consult us fans when he makes a pick. But why would you pass on Lamar Jackson and mason Rudolph and Luke Falk and wait until the 7th round to draft Danny Etling? He only completed 60% of his passes. The only thing I could think of is he is confident TB12 will stay another 3 years and wanted a young qb to back him up who isn’t 32 years old.

THEY PASSED ON LAMAR JACKSON BECAUSE THEY HAVE GLARING NEEDS THAT TAKE PRIORITY OVER AN INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED QB WHO'D KEEP THE BENCH WARM FOR 3 YEARS.

We have a Very Good QB Coach in McDaniels you can see Etlings arm on tape. He has the tools you never know.

LOL. Only BB could draft the replacement for a HOF GOAT who was a 6 th round /pick 199 by drafting a qb in the 7th round pick 219. that is like doubling down by going 20 picks lower!!

If it works out for him against all the odds and he ends up being the patriots starter /Brady heir in 2 years, then it will be the crowning glory on bb career and a slap down on all those who say bb just got lucky having TB.

The one good thing for him, nobody can be expecting him to surpass Tb, so he can sit and learn from the best role model, HC, and ??OC (& HC heir) in the league.

 

[long distance]

This pick certainly has a feel of Hail Mary..

Brady is a once in a lifetime 6th round pick.

Maybe he could be the NEXT Edelman (7th round pick, QB --> WR)...

How about this move, counsin. Danny for the next two Texans first round picks, Clowney, and Merciulus?

 

[Thelonious]

On the panic thing, let's say he has a highly developed sense of urgency. And what's his hand size? I read once how that can be critical. His name rhymes with "wetling."

So there are three possible reasons for optimism.
