NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION OT: Week 3 games around the league

[TheRainMaker]

The Joey Lawernce contract is going exactly like I expected.

This is really bad for the NFL.

 

[ViperGTS]

Yeah okay NFL. Thats PI, but it wasn't last night against the Chiefs. .......

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Higgins gonna be swapping cereal bowls with Iosivas...

Damn. I’m leading my fantasy matchup. But my opponent has Burrows and Higgins, so he’s still alive. Come on Washington!

I don't get why the Jags paid Lawrence. They had him under contract for two more seasons and he has been wildly inconsistent his entire career and has sucked since like Thanksgiving of last year. Why pay the guy top of the market money when he was shaping up to be in the lower part of the top third of the league of QBs.

This is why you either want your first round draft pick QB to be a complete bust or a complete superstar and nothing in between. Otherwise, you are going to pay him top of the market money for far less of the top of the market production.

I think the QB market will fizzle down for QBs who are not absolute superstars like mahomes or Allen or to lesser extent burrow and Lamar. The number of bad contracts ( Wilson, dak, deshaun, Daniels, Lawrence ) and emergence of mid range QBs like darnold and Mayfield on team friendly contracts will start to change the parking field for QBs. So by the time we get to maye and if he is a decent QB , maybe we are not paying top of the line money unless he is a top 10 QB.

The new TV deal(s) are causing the cap to skyrocket. I think teams wanted to lock up QBs prior to that to have them at a smaller % of the cap. I think a few teams didn't consider if the QB they were paying was actually a good starting QB though.

I think to give out a contract like that, yea, it's got to be a legit top 10 QB for more than a single season.

When the backup QB still has a better record than a top paid QB....

Mac Jones: 18-24
Joey Lawrence: 20-32

That's pathetic. It's only a matter of time before the media picks up on it.

If Trevor Lawrence were here in those years, he would've had a winning record.

Looks like the Pats drafted the wrong QB. Wow. This Daniels guy is amazing

I'll reserve judgement until he does this against the likes of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and NO/Atlanta.

I think the best way to compare QB's is how each do when things around them aren't good. For instance, receivers are out. Meh OL. Most QB's can put up stats when they have time to throw against thrash defenses.

I also get a RGIII vibe with his playing style. Of all the QB's drafted, Daniels will be the most likely to get injured imo.

BTW, Carolina picked the wrong QB in 2023 as an example. Patriots were picking third behind Washington in 2024.

Lawrence has been a disappointment thus far. Have to wonder if he will ever truly reach the elite QB tier.

Bengals and 49ers are a classic case of you better win the Super Bowl when you get there because you might never get that chance again.

No guarantees Burrow ever goes back and the 49ers are now getting crippled with injuries and are going to have to pay Purdy soon.

Could not have been said better.

It's also becoming difficult to field a good team without 6-8 key players.

Chiefs have been acing the drafts and getting officiating luck . Else they should also be doing some mopping duty .

I want to see a defense that can really stretch the chiefs and take away their key passes to rice and worthy . Atlanta had a nice safety tandem but bull rush was non existent.

And their run defense was pathetic.

Jayden was a 5 year college player coming off a ridiculously amazing Heisman winning season. The bloke is on a roll and for me he should have gone ahead of Williams with the first pick. Maye is a much rawer prospect but with the correct handling he can also be a top level QB.

[sb1]

Don’t know anything about Maye yet but from what we’ve seen Daniels might be the best of the class so far.

 

[Sciz]

Two more OT injuries last night with Trent Brown and Anton Harrison. That’s 14 (at least) this week.

He would have had to been available to the Pats for them to have drafted the wrong guy. He was already gone by the time the Pats picked.
