We did sign Cameron Scarlett as an UDFA, dont know much about him though.
The McDonald pick pissed me off more than it should have. 7th round picks should be height/weight/speed guys who might make the roster on special teams and then you have time to develop them for a year.
Exactly....not a pick you don’t use at all or simply throw away. Hell, draft a kicker if you need to for competition. Just seemed like a legit wasted pick....Albeit, 7th’s don’t generally turn into gold, but still...
A utility back, does a little of everything.
I think 7th rounders are developmental guys at any position. There is a trait you see that you feel you can cultivate regardless of position. To be honest, I hold out little hope for either 6th or 7th rounders and don’t really care how they roll the dice. If they pan out for a year or two and fill a gap, hurray, if not, don’t spend a lot of gray cells on it.
Marquis Colston was a 7th round pick. I don’t understand why JROB doesn’t just pick a bunch of Marquis Colston quality guys there. I mean COME ON JROB!
Differ, VY, Tebow, brad Johnson, CK.
Stable, reliable QBs with winning %.
I’m sure with a little research we can quickly find a bunch more QBs to prove it’s not a QB stat but the team they play for.
You are speaking in absolutes. We are saying there is some value in a winning percentage but not the primary measure. Just look at last year, RT clearly made a difference in our record. He wasn’t the sole reason, but definitely a reason.
Yeah, but again, as a whole, the 6th and 7th rounds are a roll of the dice. For every Tom Brady there is a Hank Carbunkle.
I’m dealing in absolutes as far as W/L being a QB stat, it’s not.
Even as you pointed out, the best QB in the league (THill) still wasn’t the sole reason for W/L.
For whatever reason, this stat doesn’t get associated with any other individual position on the team despite many cases being the bigger reason for W/L than the QB. For example, 5-6 years ago, the Texans. The W/L should be associated with JJ Watt, not “insert Texans QB”. Without looking it up, does Watt have an over .500 winning %?
OK, at NO point am I saying it is a quarterback stat. However, I am saying you would rather have a guy who has won than one who has not. I really don’t think we disagree. You keep framing it as if some one said “sole reason” and no one did. You actually acknowledge my point by referencing Tannehill. Go back and read what I wrote. I said he wasn’t the sole reason but surly contributed. A team wins as a team and loses as a team, but certain individuals contribute to both outcomes more than others. I would rather have a player at ANY position that has won more than he has lost.
Explained that way, I think we are on the same page.
The original quote I commented on was not on that page (similar to the ESPNs of the world) and absolutely associate W/L records to the QBs. It’s why people remember Mettenberger was 0-10 despite an absolute garbage team)
This is the original quote I commented on but I thinks it’s deleted.
Some players slip through the cracks. He played at Samford and was their first player drafted in decades. You think he's a 7th rounder if he played at a power five program?
I think Dangermode was just saying the overall package that Seimien brings is a relief compared to what Woodside and Pineapple brought. You want a guy who has started and experienced some success vs a guy who hasn’t. At least I do...
If RT went down and we had to depend on Woodside, I don’t think we have a happy ending.
At least Semen has more wins than losses as a starter, thats worth something
Woody hasnt ever seen a real game
Woody hasnt ever seen a real game
I agree with the experience part although a guy can only get experience by being thrown in there.
But his winning percentage is irrelevant. I mean, look our last couple years at QB. People were glad we replaced Cassel with Gabbert.
Then people were hesitant (albeit a smaller crowd) on THill because of his previous record with Miami.
