I can't judge talent with such bad QB play. I don't know how anyone else could. Wentz and Hurts both played the same, both terrible. It was a lot of things that lead to last years poor offensive season. Yes bad QB play by BOTH QBs, recs playing very poorly, bad coaching, bad play calling/play design/scheme. Now im not saying Wentz will be back to his 2017 self, but I can bet he will have a nice career with Indy and many playoff appearances. I rated Reagor as a 2nd round project last year befroe the draft, I wanted nothing to do with him. Can he be a avg ok WR with good coaching? sure. I dont see him as first round talent. So yes, i would have rather have option A- Wentz at QB with Lamb then having option B- Reagor and Hurts if thats the two choices. Yes there are more choices we could have had but between those two, option A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people, regardless of their play or ability, don't like getting pounded with questions for an hour at a time. It's definitely goofy, but it's been taken way too seriously in here. The goal isn’t to get them to relax , it’s to make them as uncomfortable as possible , and see how they react . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathByEagle Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Original Sin said: Per Mark Dominik All this #Cowboys love over Kyle Pitts seems like a smoke screen. No one says that much about a player and alerts everyone in the league they want him. I like Pitts too but Dallas has a different player in mind I can see OT or CB for Dallas. It just makes sense. I think Pitts slides a little. Not past the top 10 but a little. Any team not needing a WR or thinks they want him as a WR will look at labels and tink they can't take a so called "TE" that high. When in reality hes a receiver weapon, not just a label of TE or WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are looking to, in a polite way, slightly eff with someone and get them off their spot, why not? Everyone knows the game, you can learn about how strategic someone is when playing it, etc. You can also ask questions while playing when a players guard is down. And for those interviewing, it's a bit of fun. especially if the interview isn't going that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many people are over blowing this paper, rocks, scissors topic. Yes Nick should have kept that to himself. However, a lot of GMs and coaches do something similar. Ask just strange questions that make no sense to some. They do have a purpose, even if it doesn't make sense to some, it makes sense to them. Now does that question or act always make a difference? Who knows if it really does or not. Ive heard of questions and acts my old college teammates that were interviewed were asked just were just strange. Difference is most coaches and GMs dont tell the public about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand teams want to see a player react to uncomfortable/different situations. Not everything in an interview has to be serious, though. Not really earth shattering that an interviewer might ask (or in this case do) something on the lighter side of things. Abundantly clear that the majority of this board can't even handle a simple game of rock, paper, scissors without overthinking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both had horrible turnover rates, fumbles, picks etc. Same completion rating, Win percentage, Sacks, bad decision making and accuracy etc. The ONLY thing Hurts did better was taking off and running after his first read was not open. But that didnt improve much of anything, just padded his running stats. Overall they both played the same which was piss poor. BUT it wasnt all the QBs that caused that play, they had a lot of help making them look bad as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLC Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 A lot of smoke now has Gettleman taking Parsons at 11. They have a massive need at both EDGE and ILB. Gettleman has drafted super-athletic LBs in RD1 (Shaq Thomson) and clearly doesn't care about positional value. He also likes athletic guys. Parsons going in the top 11 would be massive for us as it nearly assures one of the CBs/WRs falling to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
