QBs have a season and a half, perhaps 2 seasons to “show something”. If they don’t, they get flicked for the next great hope.
Most of the ones flicked go on the backup merry go round.
Wilson Lance Darnold Carr Jameis Brissett Mishew Rudolph
Some escape that and perform at a good level like Mayfield. Very rare though.
That’s the big difference between NFL and AFL, there’s always plenty of talented optuons coming through the draft each year. This means teams can move on from draft/trade mistakes pretty quickly.
Unless you’re the Cleveland Browns and you sign a guy to a 5-year $230M, fully guaranteed contract despite knowing he’s a multiple accused sexual assailant and hasn’t played in a year. Oh, and you also gave up shitloads of draft picks to get stuck with him.
One of the best / worst trades is history. So many picks and so much money. Such a Brown’s thing to do.
It’s not quite Hershel Walker to the Vikes bad, but it’s not far off it.
It has passed the Russell Wilson to the Bronco’s trade, though, and what’s ironic is that Wilson is looking like his old self at the Steelers who got him virtually free.
Can you even compare AFL to NFL QBs though. In AFL you can take the next HBF and convince your fans that they will be the next great mid, in NFL a QB is a QB and way way way more critical than any individual in the AFL.
My point is more that there are 20 Harley Reids in every draft because the college system produces so many players to choose from, unlike AFL. Yes, no sport is as dependant on a single player like American football is with QBs.
Can they pin the blame on Dodoro for that?
Jackets trading 3 first round picks for Trey Lance and then putting him on the wing!!!
Our new HBF’er…PATRICK MAHOMES
Comes from a good home, solid citizen etc…
Will he be allowed to invite his brother into the rooms after the game?
Anyone else noticing the colour in the game today looks really washed out?
the turf looks grey, the Jets don’t have any green in them
I’m watching on the Foxtel website, pretty sure it isn’t my monitor because I switched channels and there’s colour in the NBA
Is that Joe Namath at QB?
Bonehead play by the Jets receiver. Celebrates by dropping the ball before crossing the endzone. How stupid do you have to be? Hold the ball and make sure all is okay before then carrying on.
He has cost a touchdown and the ball rolled out the back of the endzone and becomes the Texans ball. Stupid stupid play.
Lol Oh Jets.
Like the time Langford went into interchange and walked past the ball while it was in play
Rogers looks like he has had an absolute gutful.
Yeah it looks kinda washed out on my feed too, like someone put a desaturation filter through it.
Yes exactly!!!
