2021 NFL Off-Season Thread: QB Carousel Continues!

[Mertron]

(i read an article the other day that did in fact say the eagles will probably draft a punter since they currently don’t have one, that thicc boi from georgia tech)

14th lawsuit filed against Watson, and this one is from California. Brings him to Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, and LA now that I know of.

Kyle Pitts either going to be an absolute monster or the biggest disappointment from this draft.

everything in his profile is basically an A+ except for blocking; it’s why a lot of people project him as a possible WR instead of a TE

he’s 6’6 240, breaks tackles, is fast, runs great routes, has great hands, and loves football and every indication is he’s a hard worker and good guy. the more I see/hear about him I want the eagles to draft him

the eagles are gonna draft a punter

its nearly impossible for a tight end becoming worthy of a top 10 pick simply because of the position. there's only been 4 tight ends in the history of the nfl that have had 4 or more 1000 yard seasons, meanwhile there's probably 100 wide receivers that have done that same feat... the position just doesn't get the same volume wide receivers do

[Weltall]

So not much of anything. He got anything to say about the other now 23?

[Celeras]

His lawyer said they're all anonymous except for the one they have identified, and that Buzbee refuses to confidentially release their identities to the defense so they can be addressed.

[Weltall]

Makes sense, likely waiting until the Houston PD decides on the grand jury request. I think I read that is expected by end of week.

[Rhyis.]

as a guy that works for a company that's been sued a few times i'm pretty sure it's a requirement for the defense to know the acquirer. the name doesn't have to hit the public, but i'm pretty sure the official files are supposed to have their real name on there

[Weltall]

I don't think the Houston Country Clerk's office would have accepted and processed their filing, if they didn't meet legal standards. At some point, as things progress, I'm certain as well that name has to be placed in ink.

I'm also assuming that he had to file one with Atlanta and another in LA, unless he is able to file from Texas for those. No idea, but I doubt it.

Rape shield laws make people very delicate about exposing the identities of alleged victims though.

Yeah like I said, the filings would not have gone through unless the docs met all legal checks.

[Weltall]

Someone that knows: is Jamarr Chase really better than the Alabama WRs?

it was a simpler time when defense attorneys could leak alleged victim names in the press so they received thousands of death threats and suffered intimidation + harassment campaigns until they dropped the charges

in 2019 ja'marr chase was hands down the best wr in college and devonta smith, justin jefferson, ceedee lamb, jerry jeudy, etc all played that year

[Mertron]

probably. waddle is an unknown because of the ankle injury but if everyone was healthy chase and waddle are probably better pro prospects than smith

right now, chase is probably the best wr of that group

[Weltall]

Watson traded or not, John McClain says the Texans FO now expects Tyrod Taylor to be the 2021 starting QB.

[Mertron]

i would be fine with the eagles drafting pitts or chase. smith I would be okay-ish with but eagles fans have put up with a smaller/faster/explosive WR not being able to take hits and stay healthy so i would be somewhat hesitant to see smith

[Mertron]

yes desean jackson has given me wr ptsd

[Rhyis.]

i think the biggest positive you can give to chase is that jefferson and him played on the same team and chase was the #1 while being the younger the guy... and jefferson was amazing his first year in the nfl
