^^^A man or women after my own heart. I love this person! =(( :))
But can we talk about that haircut? OMG!
Carr may still be traded. Lots of QB needy teams and personally I’m really digging on Kyler Murray for the 49ers. There’s a part of me that says draft Murray, sit him under Jimmy G. for a year and since most of Jimmy’s money is front-loaded, either trade or release him. It’s the daredevil in me. And no, he’s not Shanahan’s type of QB either. But have you watched those OU games? And he really came on in the 2nd half of the Bama game.
Fun to think about, but the 49ers have too many other needs to spend the #2 overall on a qb, when they already have a good qb. If Bosa falls to #2, they will take him, or trade back and get a few more picks since they only have 5 picks in this draft.
And while y’all are bashing Brady, ponder the fact that NE has 12 picks in this draft, including 6 in the first 3 rounds. They will be able to reload for another run next year and the year after, after which Brady may finally show the effects of age and they will need to find a new qb.
I agree, but I REALLY like Murray! I can’t wait to see what his 40 time will be at the combine this week. And he’s allegedly add some muscle and pounds.
Well, let’s hope they swing and miss on every one of those 12 picks. Pats should send the Niners a 4th or 5th our way and we’ll send them Nick Mullens or even CJ Beathard as their new capable backup for next year.
The Patriots, in the Belichick era, once had #6, and had only three other picks higher than #21. It is very difficult to find that generational player like Mack when you are always drafting at the bottom of the first round. So it’s difficult to say if he would ever pony up that kind of money for a talent like Mack, because he’s never had one on defense.
On offense, he’s had Gronk and Brady as what I would call generational talents. Gronk got a top-of-market deal and is still near the top, even with the significant injury risk Gronk has. Brady has always taken a few mil per year under market, which the team has spent upgrading other players, and you can’t argue with the results. If he put their feet to the fire and wanted top dollar a la Rodgers or Manning? They would have paid up, there would be no choice.
His philosophy is generally to not go for superstars, but instead go for depth, so chances are he wouldn’t have shelled out for Mack. The Patriots spend close to the cap every year, though, and have never had the $70-100 mil in cap space that the Raiders have had the last few years. With that kind of money to spend, I would think the Pats would be a lot more willing to give out a top-of-market contract or two.
Jimmy G is tall. Murray is short. Really short. It is hard for teams to have plans for both types of QB. For Murray, the linemen would have to duck to get out of the way.
Murray seemed to play well in the CFP semi against Bama, and Bama typically has lots of NFL-type quality players. He should be the fastest QB in history, since he’s supposedly run a 4.3 around 2-3 years ago. He may break the combine record of 4.22.
If Murray comes in at 5’10" (and I think he’s only 5’9") he is closer to my height of 5’7" than to Jimmy G. And I’m a girl. Sometimes size does matter. Ask Doug Flutie.
Julian Edelman was a QB but switched to receiver. He’s fast but short. He’s 5’10"
The Blewitt name is as good as the Steelers having a guy named Whimper at OT. Of course the Bears has a TE named Bozo not too long ago (well, actually Boso).
