True

What an absolutely idiotic trade

IIRC he comes from LSU and is a small slot CB. We essentially traded Flacco for him.

Yep. Small guy from LSU, but he's a blazer. Ran a 4.33

Howie loves him some speedzzz

If Gannon wants him, and he basically get him for Flacco then why not?

Curious as to the roster moves this week.

They'll need to activate TE Jackson as well.

Guessing they cut McCain and either IR Reagor or cut Wilson.

Not bad. Good ball skills.

Here is a sample of what can be done through artificial selection:

Yup.  Wasting a 6th will set back the franchise for at least a decade.

Atta boy Howie. Nice to see you trade a 6th rounder for a 7th.  We know you couldn’t be left out of the news on deadline day.  Way to make your presence known.  

2021 7th = 2022 6th.

Of all of Howie's moves, this one irks me the least. He made the Broncos roster and they are deep at CB. Worth a shot.

I'd say his passing chart is Exhibit A.  That's either arm strength, vision ..... or Eagles receivers believe the middle of the field is full of land mines.

The floor is lava... or in this case, the part that's to the left of the right hash...

I can't imagine the emotional distress the WRs feel when the play gets called and they realize they are lining up on the left.

Eric Wilson, Marlon T, Josiah Scott, McCain, Chachere, Anderson could all be gone without blinking an eye

Says who?  Since when does a past draft pick worth more than a future pick a round sooner? Especially one that hasn’t played a down.  

It's a basic rule when evaluating draft pick trades.  A pick next year is worth a round less than one in the current year.

would you say greater velocity = greater distance thrown?

if so does distance = greater velocity?

 

Nope.   You can get greater distance by adjusting the angle of the throw, without increasing the speed.  Meanwhile, lowering the angle of the throw can still get the same distance by increasing the speed.

Since Lowie took over

 

i don’t have an issue with this trade, it’s a sixth rounder for a roster churn guy. Whatever

Hence how we traded a 6th during the draft to WFT for a 5th the following year

I'm pretty sure my eye blinked while reading through that list.

May need that 6th to luck into the next Jordan Mailata to bail out an otherwise underwhelming draft class.

No I wouldn't.  Without trying to be obtuse, I would encourage you to discuss the relationship between distance and velocity with a Physics professor.

For the purposes of a football discussion -- Hurts was drafted late in the 2nd round, and not by accident.  He wasn't magically sitting on the board at #53 because no other teams noticed he was available.  There are limitations to his skills and how they translate to the NFL.  He succeeded through the college level because of his athletic traits -- strength, running, durability -- but those only carry a player so far at the pro level against the best athletes in the world.

Those are all the times Reagor half asses his route

If you saw Vick play, you would say he had probably one of the strongest arms in the game. He just couldn't read the field and had accuracy issues. Similar to Hurts, but I'd probably take Vick over Hurts anyways.

You would be a fool not to take Vick over Hurts.  Vick didn't have accuracy issues that Hurts has. He also had a much higher upside as a passer.  He just was erratic and had limitations processing defenses.
