  1. An interesting read: Does QB Height Matter In The NFL? | The Draft Network No shot to Russell Wilson, but is it a coincidence that as soon as he leaves the game we see the offense operate on script, with TEs leaking through the MOF? Beautiful drive from Geno 10:47 PM · Oct 7, 2021 19 Reply Share this Tweet This has been evident with Wilson and others for years, as typically shorter QBs do tend to throw fewer balls over the middle portions of the field. It doesn’t mean they’re necessarily worse at throwing them, it just means that they throw less of them because it’s harder to create windows for them to see. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a big deal if you can throw a brilliant deep ball and achieve success in other areas—as Wilson does—but it certainly restricts your passing offense and certain play designs if a short QB just isn’t willing to be overly aggressive. Height doesn’t seem to have any effect on the percentages until they dip below the 6-foot-2 (or 1.88 meters). It’s at that point where it becomes nearly impossible to be able to use the middle portion of the field at an above-average level (Murray is sort of an exception). That second point is particularly interesting, as 6-foot-2 is generally the benchmark used to discuss QB height in the draft scouting process. I’ve always thought of that ‘old-fashioned’ mark to be entirely arbitrary—why not 6-foot-1 or 6-foot-3? Well, it might just be luck, or it might show that perhaps there is a legitimate method behind the thresholds scouts use. Who knows? What I do know is being short does significantly hurt your chances of seeing—and therefore attempting—middle of the field passes.
  2. At :12 in the video. Jerry Rice is 6'2" Still don't believe it? One inch does make a difference.
  3. This is the shit we were talking about after the election only to be ridiculed as conspiracy theorists by you leftist know-it-all dipshits. Wisconsin Judge Rules Ballot Drop Boxes Used in 2020 Election Were Illegal.

  4. Cal has a point here when you consider GronK's scouting report: He's just the opposite. 2010 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Rob Gronkowski Strengths: Long frame with good strength Good route runner Fluid in and out of his breaks Competitive when ball is in air Physical runner Underrated blocker Does a good job of using his hands and extending Impressive straight-line speed Red zone threat Consistent hands and plucks the ball Extremely high upside as a run blocker
  5. Ya think they're "in misery" right now? I'd love their misery.
  6. God hates the Browns. I'm convinced. It was supposed to be us. Gipper, rest his soul predicted "the changing of the guard". I guess it's fortunate he isn't around to witness this shit.
  7. So did TJ Watt have a recent groin issue. His second one, plus he has cracked ribs. He recorded 4 sacks. The Steelers pretty much kept Myles at bay the first time they played. He managed 1 sack. Blaming "injuries" is way overrated. An old article from 2015: The NFL has 1,696 players; very few are not playing through some ailment Soon after Peyton Manning’s record ninth one-and-done playoff appearance in Sunday’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts, a report surfaced that he had played with a torn right quadriceps since mid-December. Aaron Rodgers, while clearly debilitated, had a better result playing on an injured calf. Despite variant outcomes, both quarterbacks, and particularly Rodgers, have since shared hero status for playing through pain. In NFL, playing through pain comes with territory | NFL | The Guardian If people feel Baker needs to be 100% in order for him not to suck, then he's not a top notch QB.
  8. Too much blame is put on "injuries". Those that feel that Baker is the guy are clinging to hopes that it was the injuries that set him back. I say they're in for a rude awakening.. Baker felt well enough to play, the doctors say he's well enough to play, the coach says he's well enough to play, him practicing during the week says he's well enough to play. My feeling is that his injuries had zero to do with his poor performance. It boils down to only two arguments heard on this board...either Baker truly sucks, or he doesn't have the weapons to be successful.
  9. Funny that Baker never once woke up saying he felt dangerous. Maybe with his injuries he knew his limitations.
  10. From NFL football fans to the "experts", It seems everyone outside of Cleveland thinks Baker sucks.
  11. It's 2022 and we haven't won squat, so I don't resent anyone who feels this way. You have every right. A storied franchise prior to 1999 that became the most ridiculed, dysfunctional franchise in the history of sports. Here we are again, talking about getting another QB and firing the coach. "Storied franchise" LOL. What a story indeed.
  12. Ben has never had a losing season. The Browns need to do their part and put an end to that. Us sending him off into retirement with a losing season would be priceless.
  13. No, we beat them quite handily.
  14. Just realized the AFCN's QB's have numbers 6,7,8,9. Lets just go with the highest number being the best. LOL
  15. Your opinion. Rank your first to worst AFCN's QB's. I struggle with 3 and 4, so I'll go with whatever you say lol! 1. Burrow 2. Ben 3. 4. Although I have to admit I found this funny when searching the internets..lol
  16. He had always maintained that The Immaculate Reception was an illegal play. We believe you John. I guess he'll find out for sure now. I read that Madden was Nolls choice for the Steelers defensive coordinator, but then the Raiders HC job came up. That Raiders/Steelers rivalry was the fiercest in the history of the NFL.
  17. What we always do...shout "wait till next year".
  18. The former Indians are begging for donations?lol
  19. The Steelers got the win here because of fumbles and dropped balls. That's not happening again.
