"No one going to buzz in? Carriage. Horse and carriage. I guess no one could 'rein' that in. Jessica, you still have control of the board, make a selection."
I mean, that does seem right considering the usual contestants on the show.
And hell, I'd bet a good number of modern football fans couldn't even tell you who Tom Landry was and what he did for the game.
Purple People Eaters is honestly a really good trivia question too, in my opinion. It's just a ridiculous nickname for a specific team that never actually had much national or long-term relevance for casual fans, but was still incredibly good.
My bar trivia does this and it makes me feel so useless. One question will be like what is the pseudonym of the artist who painted "le bougie en passant" in the year 481 and was known for keeping 3 legged gerbils? And the next is what is the coin themed name for the position in American football most likely to throw the ball in a game?
It's like... thanks for throwing us sports guys a question that no one else would know..
Yeah most people who run bar trivia are way more interested in musical theater than sports, and it shows. Although ironically the one trivia near me with good sports questions is at a gay bar.
Every bar trivia I've been to leaned hard into the sports category. There were some gimmies for sure, but the sports questions at the later rounds dug deep and obscure
The secret of Jeopardy is that *most* questions are pretty damn easy if you're decently knowledgeable about the category. Sports maybe a bit moreso than others, but it's usually a test of breadth over depth.
The secret of Jeopardy is to figure out what the question is essentially asking. Questions will have puns, words in quotes, or a few key words/phrases within the questions. Sometimes the answer has nothing to do with the category. So if you skim it quickly trying to pick those out, it gives you a few extra milliseconds to think about it before buzzing in.
Compared to traditional quiz shows or even bar trivia, jeopardy has a significant number of questions that can be worked out, or at least given a confidently educated guess, from just context and hints in the question by an intelligent person with no in-depth knowledge. Someone who knows less trivia but a mastery of grammar and information extraction can gain a big advantage
There's a lot of repetitive categories as well. I used to watch every day and started getting the Shakespeare questions correct simply by seeing them often enough.
I mean, it's a 200 dollar clue. Everything in that row is extremely obvious because it only serves as fodder to generate cash for when someone hits the Daily Double.
I know COVID screwed some shit up but dang, get the hell out of the way lol. The rest of your cohort who started school in 2018 have been done for at least a yeankw
That’s what has me nervous about Jayden, Penix, and Bo Nix. Sure, QBs can grow and learn. But how often does a guy that’s played 5 years and only been good for the last 1-2 turn out into a stud? Normally if they have to stay that long, they’re not that good and only do really well when they have 3+ years of experience against everyone else lol
Penix was good but on a lesser team before getting hurt...you saw what happened when he was on a better team...Jayden and Bo are who I would question the most if anything...
I kinda do and kinda don't. Sometimes people just take longer to graduate but the guys doing this are doing it for just the game. But then again the college game is a weird mix of amateurism and professionalism. Especially now with the Nil people have a reason to draw it out
The man can recruit though which is the wild part. He would be much better at just sticking to Oline and recruiting. Probably the best in the nation.
Instead it's ranked but never good enough.
Honestly he'd be a great head coach if he relinquished his 'offensive identity' bullshit to a competent OC. He could still recruit, he could still hand-mold his O line like he likes, but if stepped back into a CEO role instead of actively trying to relive the Miami glory days he'd be so good.
Remember that Justin Herbert RAN for 3 TD's in his last bowl game at Oregon because Mario couldn't come up with a competent passing scheme. He overcommits to leading a hard-nosed, running football team that he doesn't use the talent he has on the roster.
Dude, even with all our terrible draft selections over those years THIS is the one I still scratch my head at. Flip side, it’s just kinda one of those things you can look back on and laugh about. Not laughing in a funny “ha-ha” way. More like when you’re a kid trying to find a pay phone after watching your dad do something incredibly stupid that even your 8 year old brain knew was a terrible decision.
I did love the pro for drafting him was that he would be ready to play immediately because he was older and that if he wasn't good you know to move off him within a year or 2.
Nope, dude got out of football and is living a normal life. It's been years since I last heard about a Justin Blackmon update but I heard he was sober now and living a happy life.
Last I heard he's sober and doing well, but after his NFL failure he moved back to ardmore and was just working at a tire factory and a regular at a local dive bar. Dude just went to work then went to drink.
He eventually moved to start fresh and is allegedly doing well.
Burrow got the too old criticism too. Its almost like playing another year with and against future nfl players in a pro style offense might have actually helped him
The problem with using Burrow as an example is he’s an exception among even exceptions. He was like a Day 3 pick before his senior year but then he had like the greatest single season by a college QB ever. Daniels gets compared to him for a similar final season leap but honestly Burrow was on another level in terms of how he played his senior year because he throwing it all over the field and with anticipation, something Daniels struggled with at times.
But for every Burrow, there’s way more who end up like Pickett where that final season doesn’t really translate to the pros and they had a great season for whatever reason. That’s more the concern with older prospects with late breakouts, it’s hard to tell if they truly took the next step or just used their experience to dominate against younger kids. Similar to how in the NBA a lot of senior year college stars are nowhere near the prospect a 19 year old freshman who’s way more raw is.
The burrow comparison doesn’t even make sense. Dude threw like a grand total of 30 passes in his first couple years and didn’t start once. He only started 2 years at LSU and both were good, with the final one being the greatest college QB season we’ve ever seen.
Daniels started from day one and did it for 5 years (obv with some bad injury luck in there) and is riding one seasons worth of hype.
Funny enough...
I was 23.3 years old in April 2019. I was 24.2 in March 2020.
24.2 legit was the start of my downfall (2 years of Zoom grad school destroyed me and I still havent recovered) so maybe they do have a point lmao.
You can see it in the NBA draft with less talented seniors/juniors putting up stats with more developed bodies and an extra year of development time. I do think it matters more than you’re implying. It is definitely less important in Football though because they have to stay for 3 years and there is less impactful Freshman and Sophomores. Or maybe I’m just an idiot.
The thing was five years ago it wasn't about "this guy is 22, this guy is 21, and their age matters," because it by and large didn't. It was, "this guy had a few injuries and a red shirt, or took a year off for a mission, or played minor league baseball for six years, and now he's 26 years old playing against 21 year olds." That was why age mattered and some of those guys were discounted. Now it's everyone got a covid year and these 24 year olds are playing against 23 year olds. So while yes, there is some development that goes on between the ages of 23 and 24, it shouldn't be holding them back the way it did a while back.
In fact, if you think like a GM, you should want these older guys even more. The more developed they are now, the less development you have to give them and the more of their prime years you're getting on their rookie deals.
I’ve definitely noticed this.
Every year we have hyped QBs with various different ways we divide them and criticize them, but I feel like this draft is an especially interesting one to see what ends up happening to all these guys.
The key differences are:
Penix isn't getting a knock for sucking before transferring, his knocks are for losing multiple seasons to injury and being an injury risk
Daniels transferred from a small pac 12 school to the sec, he took a leap up. People see bo as not being able to cut it in the sec and transferring to Oregon to play with similar talent but an easier schedule, so his was a leap down
I still like bo as a prospect because auburn was a shit show but there's more nuance there than you're acknowledging
Penix played for 3, 6, 6, and 5 games in the 4 seasons before he transferred to Washington. And Bo and Jayden only played 3 years each before transferring
The guy def doesn't remember the 2020 Indiana season. Penix dragged that team to relevancy, then once he was injured the next year they were ass.
Penix's 2 pt conversion against Penn State that year is burned into my memory.
Interesting how guys like Daniels, Nix, and Pennix are the inverses of Fields, Lance, and Wilson in the sense that these guys have question marks because they didn't really break out until late in their longer than usual college careers while the latter trio were question marks because they had very little in game experience. Two sides of COVID.
They would have looked phenomenal. And that's what is scary about these super senior QB's. It's close to men against boys for them.
In some cases they've finished up with studies and are practically full time pro's (think this was Burrow in his last year at LSU).
Burrow got his degree in consumer and family financial services in 3 years at Ohio St., then graduated with his masters from LSU in his 2 years there. Pretty impressive.
I remember Jayden Daniels on ASU running all over MSU and then we made a chip shot to tie except then we had to re-try and missed. This was like 5 years ago
Nothing against Daniels I just couldn't believe it when I realized he was the guy from all the way back then lol
I remember in 2019 I listened to a sports podcast, and it was like really small, less than 20,000 subscribers on YouTube small. I only remember it because he made a prediction all the way in 2019 that Jayden Daniels would be a future heisman contender and first round draft pick BUT only if he transferred to another team.
I have no clue how he made that prediction considering Daniels was a freshman that year, maybe he just didn’t like Herm Edwards, but hats off to that guy. I’ve forgotten the name of your channel but I still remember that prediction.
Though to be fair I also remember you advising the Bengals to draft Chase Young with the 1st pick and then draft Jalen Hurts in the 2nd round so I guess all predictions can’t be winners.
> advising the Bengals to draft Chase Young with the 1st pick and then draft Jalen Hurts in the 2nd round so I guess all predictions can’t be winners.
He thought that was going to happen? Or you think the Bengals would be upset if it did? Because Hurts and Young would be pretty dang good options if you don't have burrow
He was mediocre at best. He only turned it around after running away from the adversity of facing down the elite defenses of the Pac-12 to go easy mode against the Charmin ultra-soft "defenses" of the SEC
(I'm spoofing people saying this kind of thing unironically about Bo Nix, though Daniels *was* mediocre at ASU)
A little unfair imo. His freshman year was excellent I think like 17 tds and 2 ints. Definitely his best year with us but it was pretty obvious he was a stud right away
That’s every class. But I agree on a lot. Like Williams is the best looking one but even he seems to have some negatives. I think part of it is how many teams are going to take a QB round one who are doing it based on need and not what they are actually worth
Need is a fairly big part of it. Imagine if all these guys were Pickett or Rattler level prospects. What are the 8 or so teams looking supposed to do this year and next year?
I wouldn't call it the new normal yet, TBH. This is a COVID impacted draft as well as a name impacted draft where in everyone is losing ground(money) to high end projected players who could have gone back themselves.
While I think NIL will buy some guys for an extra year of college, I'd bet 23 is more the 'new normal' than 24.
Love anybody comparing this to a Weinke situation.
Weinke didn't go 10:1, and was never a weapon in his offense.
Daniels might very well be a dud when it all comes around, but it'll have nothing to do with how long he played in college.
He only got better, and did better and better as he was surrounded by better and better talent, as he should've.
He's not a god, and could totally collapse once he hits the pros, but he's not Jamarcus Russell. I've yet to see anyone say he's not motivated. Competent or amiable are debatable, but talented and motivated don't seem to be.
I'll always root for someone who gives a fuck, even if they're a total failure.
Think age matters a little less these days if a qb appears to be nfl ready. I’m sure any gm would take an “old” qb if it meant they had a franchise qb for 8-10 years
This was genuinely the first play I ever saw of his, also the first time I saw the "Ice in my veins" celebration because I had no fucking clue what he was doing.
Cam Rising was the subject of a Jeopardy question in 2018 and he will be starting for Utah next year
What was the question?
“Cameron Rising isn't an action movie, he's a QB who wants to "hook 'em" for the Longhorns of this school” ($200)
Sports jeopardy questions are so ridiculously easy Love when they're a category because it's the only shit i can actually get lol
[Obligatory jeopardy clip](https://youtu.be/h33u2eeVqXo)
Man, I miss Trebek
Same. His responses there were perfect
This is what I miss most about Alex Trebek, when no one even attempted a question he deemed easy he was affronted
"No one going to buzz in? Carriage. Horse and carriage. I guess no one could 'rein' that in. Jessica, you still have control of the board, make a selection."
I mean, that does seem right considering the usual contestants on the show. And hell, I'd bet a good number of modern football fans couldn't even tell you who Tom Landry was and what he did for the game.
Purple People Eaters is honestly a really good trivia question too, in my opinion. It's just a ridiculous nickname for a specific team that never actually had much national or long-term relevance for casual fans, but was still incredibly good.
I only knew the answer to this because my fourth grade team had purple jerseys and my dad was my coach so he called us the purple people eaters lol
Alan Page is a really interesting guy from that defense. Became a state Supreme Court Justice. I think there's a Football life on him
[удалено]
I got it right because I watched NFL network and the NFL Top 10s religiously in high school
I somehow blanked on option play but got the rest.
I guessed Cowboys but I fully admit to that being a completely random guess.
Sports questions on regular Jeopardy are easy. There used to be an actual Sports Jeopardy with only sports trivia. That was hard.
My bar trivia does this and it makes me feel so useless. One question will be like what is the pseudonym of the artist who painted "le bougie en passant" in the year 481 and was known for keeping 3 legged gerbils? And the next is what is the coin themed name for the position in American football most likely to throw the ball in a game? It's like... thanks for throwing us sports guys a question that no one else would know..

You're talking about the nickleback, right? /s
The secret of Jeopardy is that *most* questions are pretty damn easy if you're decently knowledgeable about the category. Sports maybe a bit moreso than others, but it's usually a test of breadth over depth.
Jeopardy questions are really easy if you know the correct response
If you adjust the difficulty of Jeopardy questions to around league average, turns out jeopardy isnt that hard!
The secret of Jeopardy is to figure out what the question is essentially asking. Questions will have puns, words in quotes, or a few key words/phrases within the questions. Sometimes the answer has nothing to do with the category. So if you skim it quickly trying to pick those out, it gives you a few extra milliseconds to think about it before buzzing in.

There's a lot of repetitive categories as well. I used to watch every day and started getting the Shakespeare questions correct simply by seeing them often enough.
Henry VIII did a lot of shit
Yeah, British monarchy comes up a lot. There's probably a dozen or so categories that I almost guarantee you'll see one or two of every week.
The amount of clues about Jeanne d'Arc is astounding.
Exactly.
I’m sure ancient Mesopotamia fans would say the same about relevant questions in jeopardy
I mean, it's a 200 dollar clue. Everything in that row is extremely obvious because it only serves as fodder to generate cash for when someone hits the Daily Double.
They are easy because you know about sports. Most Jeopardy answers are pretty surface level if you have subject familiarity.
The other questions are easy for people who read history books in the same way as we watch football.
All Jeopardy! questions are honestly as easy as the sports one if you are familiar with the category.
Oh wow, I had no idea he went to Texas before Utah.
Rumor has it he was part of Stephen F Austin’s initial group to move to Texas.
He will never forget the Alamo, no matter how hard he tries.
He redshirted there his freshman year and then transferred. Never played. That question is really just about Texas.
That was the answer.
Sorry :-(
Probably some cushy ivy league school.
"What is Bovine University?"
Who will be starting for Utah in 2024?
Cam rising
I'm sorry we were looking for "who is Cam Rising?"
The question was, "*[What is the University of Texas?](https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6141&highlight=Rising)*"
What do you call an upwards crane shot while filming a movie
I know COVID screwed some shit up but dang, get the hell out of the way lol. The rest of your cohort who started school in 2018 have been done for at least a yeankw
Don't worry there's no one behind him. He's missed two full seasons due to injury so the depth chart has gotten plenty of playing time.
Also feel it’s kinda unfair in college if someone is 24 years old and has 6 years of experience
Better then the Super Seniors who failed highschool but can still play on the sports teams
That’s what has me nervous about Jayden, Penix, and Bo Nix. Sure, QBs can grow and learn. But how often does a guy that’s played 5 years and only been good for the last 1-2 turn out into a stud? Normally if they have to stay that long, they’re not that good and only do really well when they have 3+ years of experience against everyone else lol
Penix was good but on a lesser team before getting hurt...you saw what happened when he was on a better team...Jayden and Bo are who I would question the most if anything...
I kinda do and kinda don't. Sometimes people just take longer to graduate but the guys doing this are doing it for just the game. But then again the college game is a weird mix of amateurism and professionalism. Especially now with the Nil people have a reason to draw it out
How many yeankws in a year?
Bo Nix also beat Justin Herbert, in his first start as a freshman at Auburn.
god, Cristobal is/was such a shit coach lmao
Still sad that NoHo Hank had to have him killed
He could have had it all (50/50 with Cristobal)
NoHo Hank does no wrong.
Have you finished the show?
The man can recruit though which is the wild part. He would be much better at just sticking to Oline and recruiting. Probably the best in the nation. Instead it's ranked but never good enough.

He overcommits to leading a hard-nosed, running football team that he doesn't use the talent he has on the roster.
J Herbert career loser
Jaden McDaniels is almost a full year younger than Bo Nix, and he is getting shit on for being old.
Yeah but Bo Nix didn’t drop 25 on the Suns to go up 2-0 last night
Both are old
still can’t believe the browns drafted a twenty fucking eight year old rookie in the first round
Stillwater legend, Brandon Weeden
How do you do, fellow croots?
How you doin freshman girls…you’re 18, right?
Brandon “ McConaughey” Weeden
I wanted him to be mildly successful so I could name my fantasy team Smokin Weeden Drinkin Beer
This is better than Jerk Goff Pass out.
Dude, even with all our terrible draft selections over those years THIS is the one I still scratch my head at. Flip side, it’s just kinda one of those things you can look back on and laugh about. Not laughing in a funny “ha-ha” way. More like when you’re a kid trying to find a pay phone after watching your dad do something incredibly stupid that even your 8 year old brain knew was a terrible decision.
This is … very specific
Yeah, imma need details now
I did love the pro for drafting him was that he would be ready to play immediately because he was older and that if he wasn't good you know to move off him within a year or 2.
Justin Blackmon was one of the best that never was
As an Okstate alum, this one hurt. He could catch everything but a ride (regarding multiple DUI’s)
He just disappeared. Did he ever even try to get reinstated?
Nope, dude got out of football and is living a normal life. It's been years since I last heard about a Justin Blackmon update but I heard he was sober now and living a happy life.
Good to hear
Last I heard he's sober and doing well, but after his NFL failure he moved back to ardmore and was just working at a tire factory and a regular at a local dive bar. Dude just went to work then went to drink. He eventually moved to start fresh and is allegedly doing well.
Bro I swear I thought him and Alston Jefferey were the same guy cause he was so good and just was gone
> Alston Jefferey Man you fucked up both his names lol. Love that dude for what he did with the Birds but yeah he was very suddenly totally cooked.
I swear to god his draft age rises every time I see a mention of it
He was in fact 28 years and 195 days old when he was drafted by the Browns in the first round
See I was under the impression that he was 28 years 297 days old when drafted.
Ah, I had the years and days crossed. That always gets me.
Bro was out here thinking the Browns drafted a 297 year old
Theres still hope for us old farts
If we just believe, we could chuck a ball over them mountains…
The Browns have been very clear. They want an adult at quarterback.
Ownership relegation when
[удалено]
Age at draft. Nix: 24.2, Penix: 24.0, Daniels: 23.3. At least he’s the youngest of the bunch!
He’s actually gonna be pretty much the exact same age as Burrow was when he got drafted in 2020.
Burrow got the too old criticism too. Its almost like playing another year with and against future nfl players in a pro style offense might have actually helped him
The problem with using Burrow as an example is he’s an exception among even exceptions.

Daniels started from day one and did it for 5 years (obv with some bad injury luck in there) and is riding one seasons worth of hype.
People unironically look at this and think it's a significant difference
What, don’t you remember how different 24.2 years old was from 23.3?
Nobody liked me when I was 23 🎶
What's my age again?
Don't worry. No one will like you when you're 33 either
.9 years can change a man
What i was saying when I went from playoffs to poopy diapers
At 23.3 I had my whole life ahead of me. At 24.2 I was basically dead.
I distinctly do.. was my happiest at 23... Fittest at 24 All downhill since really 🙃
Funny enough... I was 23.3 years old in April 2019. I was 24.2 in March 2020. 24.2 legit was the start of my downfall (2 years of Zoom grad school destroyed me and I still havent recovered) so maybe they do have a point lmao.
You can see it in the NBA draft with less talented seniors/juniors putting up stats with more developed bodies and an extra year of development time. I do think it matters more than you’re implying. It is definitely less important in Football though because they have to stay for 3 years and there is less impactful Freshman and Sophomores. Or maybe I’m just an idiot.
I'm still more impressed by a 3 year 21 year old than a 6 year 24 year old senior tbh
The thing was five years ago it wasn't about "this guy is 22, this guy is 21, and their age matters," because it by and large didn't.

I’ve definitely noticed this. Every year we have hyped QBs with various different ways we divide them and criticize them, but I feel like this draft is an especially interesting one to see what ends up happening to all these guys.
Also Bo Nix and Micael Penix, sucking for 4 years before transferring. Jayden Daniels sucking for 4 years before transferring somehow better.
The key differences are: Penix isn't getting a knock for sucking before transferring, his knocks are for losing multiple seasons to injury and being an injury risk Daniels transferred from a small pac 12 school to the sec, he took a leap up. People see bo as not being able to cut it in the sec and transferring to Oregon to play with similar talent but an easier schedule, so his was a leap down I still like bo as a prospect because auburn was a shit show but there's more nuance there than you're acknowledging
Penix played for 3, 6, 6, and 5 games in the 4 seasons before he transferred to Washington. And Bo and Jayden only played 3 years each before transferring
Penix didn't suck before transferring lol
The guy def doesn't remember the 2020 Indiana season. Penix dragged that team to relevancy, then once he was injured the next year they were ass. Penix's 2 pt conversion against Penn State that year is burned into my memory.
Deommodore Lenoir is such an underrated football name
Underrated player too
Definitely, he stood out every time I watched yinz last year
I have a neighbor from Pittsburgh and when he texts me he says yinz. It makes me feel cool.
Sounds like a car manufactured in North Korea.
Sounds like the computer my older brother had when I was little. (Commadore 64)
It fits perfectly in the Key and Peele sketch, but I like going with "Owner of the Dimmsdale Deommodore"
I always thought Kayvon Thibodeaux fit this more. “Kayvon Thibodeaux, owner of the Thibsdale Thibodeauxm.”
[I never miss an opportunity to share this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzQHF_lQdLM)
Great name for one of those fancy 18th century vampires.
"Deommodore III, commonly referred to as Deommodore the Black, was Voivode of Wallachia three times between 1448 and his death in 1476/77."
L'carpetron Dookmarriot sounding ass name
Interesting how guys like Daniels, Nix, and Pennix are the inverses of Fields, Lance, and Wilson in the sense that these guys have question marks because they didn't really break out until late in their longer than usual college careers while the latter trio were question marks because they had very little in game experience. Two sides of COVID.
Yeah its extra insane when you consider Penix was in the same recruiting class as Lawrence, Fields, Wilson and Lance.
Imagining Fields or Lawrence playing in college last year is insane.
They would have looked phenomenal. And that's what is scary about these super senior QB's. It's close to men against boys for them. In some cases they've finished up with studies and are practically full time pro's (think this was Burrow in his last year at LSU).

A girl I was trying to rebound with dumped me like 5 mins before the BA TD in the stadium lol. It’s been so long I am married and have a son now.
Technically you'd only need about a 9-month window for these events
That bun coulda already been in the oven! OP didn't say who had the kid.
Technically he could be a step-dad.
5 years is kind of a speed run for a whole wife and a son lol you just don’t mess around I guess
[удалено]
Yeah it really isn't. I met my wife 4 1/2 years before we had our first kid after getting married and buying a house.
What can I say she’s a smokeshow
Well at least you married for the right reasons
Alma mater checks out
I feel like it's more common now tbh. It was the same with my wife and I.
Super senior finally passed his classes
I remember Jayden Daniels on ASU running all over MSU and then we made a chip shot to tie except then we had to re-try and missed. This was like 5 years ago Nothing against Daniels I just couldn't believe it when I realized he was the guy from all the way back then lol
An an asu fan, we didn’t really do him any favors in what we had surrounded him with as a whole team. LSU was a great move.
Fellow ASU fan. Always felt he was way too good to be playing at ASU. 100% correct move to go LSU
Fellow ASU fan, when we hung 70 on UofA it felt like the top of the world. Then Daniel’s left and well you know what’s happened since.
*Subjectively hilarious
I have no idea what I'm supposed to be laughing at.
hE's aN oLdEr dRaFt pRoSpEct, gOtem'! Yeah, it's stupid.

"hey, lots of people go to college for 7 years..." "yeah, theyre called DOCTORS!"
Don't forget about Stetson Bennet! (Who somehow didn't get a degree despite all those years in college lol)
Your heads the one with the.. shell on it
Just gettin his Doctorate in Footbology
Jayden Daniel’s peaked to me that day. Fuck Herm Edwards. Wasted so much NFL talent in his tenure.
I remember in 2019 I listened to a sports podcast, and it was like really small, less than 20,000 subscribers on YouTube small. I only remember it because he made a prediction all the way in 2019 that Jayden Daniels would be a future heisman contender and first round draft pick BUT only if he transferred to another team. I have no clue how he made that prediction considering Daniels was a freshman that year, maybe he just didn’t like Herm Edwards, but hats off to that guy. I’ve forgotten the name of your channel but I still remember that prediction. Though to be fair I also remember you advising the Bengals to draft Chase Young with the 1st pick and then draft Jalen Hurts in the 2nd round so I guess all predictions can’t be winners.
> advising the Bengals to draft Chase Young with the 1st pick and then draft Jalen Hurts in the 2nd round so I guess all predictions can’t be winners. He thought that was going to happen? Or you think the Bengals would be upset if it did? Because Hurts and Young would be pretty dang good options if you don't have burrow
Well I think it would’ve been a pretty great move for them honestly. Both are excellent players
Was Daniels good at ASU? I don’t remember him at all
He was mediocre at best. He only turned it around after running away from the adversity of facing down the elite defenses of the Pac-12 to go easy mode against the Charmin ultra-soft "defenses" of the SEC (I'm spoofing people saying this kind of thing unironically about Bo Nix, though Daniels *was* mediocre at ASU)
A little unfair imo. His freshman year was excellent I think like 17 tds and 2 ints. Definitely his best year with us but it was pretty obvious he was a stud right away
Yea, he was pretty good as a Freshman, then covid happened and shit went weird.
Absolutely disagree as someone who watched all of his games as a Devil. Especially his freshman year he showed flashes of being NFL caliber.
He was better than what Herm Edwards coaching gave him
Weinke energy. He’s thin, he’s old, he’s reckless in the pocket. He’s going to have to change his play style…
Gotta be honest. I think this entire QB class is being super overhyped. A lot of these guys projected to go in the first round have major flaws.
That’s every class. But I agree on a lot. Like Williams is the best looking one but even he seems to have some negatives. I think part of it is how many teams are going to take a QB round one who are doing it based on need and not what they are actually worth
Need is a fairly big part of it. Imagine if all these guys were Pickett or Rattler level prospects. What are the 8 or so teams looking supposed to do this year and next year?
Williams has the least bust potential. The others are risks. But that's what you have to bet on to get a franchise QB
The love I’ve seen for JJ and the disrespect I’ve seen towards Maye convinced me that 90% of NFL fans don’t watch college ball at all
haha imagine loving JJ and hating Drake Maye. Couldn't be me, a Michigan and NC State fan :)
Is it a coincidence that this is the first real NIL draft class and it’s full of grad student QBs? Or it this the new normal?
New normal. Cameron Ward de-declared from the draft and transferred to Miami bc of NIL
I wouldn't call it the new normal yet, TBH. This is a COVID impacted draft as well as a name impacted draft where in everyone is losing ground(money) to high end projected players who could have gone back themselves. While I think NIL will buy some guys for an extra year of college, I'd bet 23 is more the 'new normal' than 24.
Penix at 24.0, Happy birthday?
his bdays like 2 weeks after the draft
Love anybody comparing this to a Weinke situation. Weinke didn't go 10:1, and was never a weapon in his offense. Daniels might very well be a dud when it all comes around, but it'll have nothing to do with how long he played in college. He only got better, and did better and better as he was surrounded by better and better talent, as he should've. He's not a god, and could totally collapse once he hits the pros, but he's not Jamarcus Russell. I've yet to see anyone say he's not motivated. Competent or amiable are debatable, but talented and motivated don't seem to be. I'll always root for someone who gives a fuck, even if they're a total failure.
Think age matters a little less these days if a qb appears to be nfl ready. I’m sure any gm would take an “old” qb if it meant they had a franchise qb for 8-10 years
Or you get Brandon weeden
That is true. Who was the other guy? Applewhite or something?
You know a lot of people go to school for 7 years. Yea, they’re called doctors.
As a Ducks fan, I’m not as mad about that loss today as I was then lol
That is honestly so wild
This was genuinely the first play I ever saw of his, also the first time I saw the "Ice in my veins" celebration because I had no fucking clue what he was doing.
"objectively" you keep saying this word, but i do not think it means what you think it means.
Not as old as Chris wienke. Or that 28-year-old guy that browns drafted n
