re: What is today's "prototypical" QB?

The any era prototype QB is John Elway. He had size, speed, cannon, toughness, and cool under pressure. No weaknesses or limitations.

The current prototype has to be Mahomes although it seems like he's lost a step. Josh Allen is the most Elway-like of today's QBs.

Mel Kiper still has Elway as his top ranked quarterback draftee all time and this from a GM:
"He was the blueprint -- Stanford brain, best arm I've ever seen, run, throw, confident, competitive," a current general manager said. "He ruined looking at quarterbacks

Agree. I've always said I'd start with him at QB over anyone else.

Today it’s just running backs who can throw. I wish they would make a rule to bring back actual QBs.

Mahomes is an RB playing QB? Jared Goff? Joe Burrow? Stafford? Geno Smith?

LOL at anyone trying to figure out why Cleveland did something. They traded away three 1st rounders, a 3rd round and two 4th round picks for Watson. Granted, he was probably worth a 1st rounder at that point, so you can say they gave up two 1st rounders if you want. Then gave him $230 million guaranteed, in the middle of a couple dozen court cases of sexual assault. Shedeur was worth a 5th round pick, esp for a team with an unsettled QB situation. It's peanuts to them.

No.

Good grief, that's some pretentious drivel in that article.

re: Will Milroe get drafted before Sanders ?

Posted by deltadummy on 4/25/25 at 9:40 pm

Sanders has Purdy's skills, but he's a better QB than Milroe, by a good bit. Jalen's a heck of a person, but can't toss a 15 yarder to a receiver in stride if his life depended on it.

I like listening to music when we play (I know some will clutch pearls over this) and yes the constant nature of the noise is not distracting (can actually be calming) but a single noise when everything else is silent can be distracting.

The quality of music from the avg weekend 'bro golfer' is shiite. No one wants to hear pop country, rap or the fricking Eagles.
