I think Tanner McKee at Stanford and Devin Leary at NC State may be worthwhile.  Jerkovec at BC may be a decent prospect. I agree that Levis reminds me of Wentz but I do like his arm and mobility.  I am not sold on Richardson.  I am just not sure how good a passer he will be and he hasn't played much.  KJ Jefferson may also be a potential pick.  

 What did Grayson McCall do to you guys?  Coastal has an ex Eagles front office worker in their football program, he’s definitely going to get looked at. 
 McKee, or as he should be known, Luck Jr really needs to have a good season, last season was right after his mission in South America, but he’s 6’6” 230lbs and he’s mobile. The Stanford offense is an old school NFL offense, which is one of the reasons Mills was pretty good at Houston.  
 

Just back from two weeks in Alaska. What a gorgeous state.  I highly recommend.  I have now traveled to and through all fifty states.  We are so lucky to live in such a natural wonder.

While Hurts may continue to develop over the next 10 years, what is the cost to the team for keeping him? I don't think you can extend a QB for less than something like $25 to $45 million a season.  Unless the QB is a win with QB prospect, I don't see the sense in keeping him.  I also just don't see him flashing signs of potential growth.  Both Gannon and Garcia, came to the NFL showed upside.  I think they're not good comparisons. Gannon ran a wing-T offense in college.  His arm strength was very good but he didn't throw the prettiest ball. I think Gannon wasn't exactly a late bloomer but he didn't get a chance to develop in Min. He led them to an 11-5 record but wasn't the best passer.  He was replaced by Sean Salisbury at the end of the season because of an injury who looked more like a natural passer and they did not keep Gannon the next season.  Gannon then played spot starter and back up until Gruden signed him to replace Jeff George.  He blossomed when he got to start on a talented roster with a good offensive coach.  I think Gannon was comparable to Steve Young.  I don't see him at all like  Hurts.  I also think the Raiders may have beaten Tampa but for Sapp intentionally hurting Gannon.  Garcia didn't have a rocket arm but was efficient and of course played with TO.  I think Garcia's arm strength was probably similar but he was a much quicker decision maker and utilized the entire field.  I don't see that from Hurts.  

While finding an elite QB is hard, you can't find one without making stabs at it.  

 

 

Yep....and along the way (while looking for an elite QB) finding QBs as good as Hurts isn't hard at all.  So if this team ends up giving Hurts a 2nd contract, I believe it will be one of their more ridiculously stupid decisions that they have made over the years.

Im sure he will get fed up sooner than later if they dont get a real QB here.

It's funny, this year, most of the team is approaching 40 years old (a good handful of us will turn 40 next year), and there's been a crazy amount of injuries we've had; mostly soft tissue and relatively minor, but enough to make an impact. Getting old blows. 

I turn 37 in about 3 weeks and I'm one of the younger guys on the team

Give him a year or 2.

No, but it obviously helps.

And even if they did, Devonta's rookie numbers were good.

And they will go down unless Hurts becomes an actual QB

Once upon a time (e.g. for Neanderthals) sex/gender was determined by looking at sexual reproductive organs. Then as knowledge was acquired, societies all across the globe abandoned "P fixation" and recognized that there were these little components of each human cell called chromosomes, and that they came in X and Y form, with females having two X chromosomes and males having one X and one Y.  To torture the "P fixation" metaphor, we had progressed to a binary "chromosome fixation."  Then as more knowledge was acquired, the globe recognized that approximately 1% of the babies born were not strictly binary.  As a result the "chromosome fixation" was modified to accommodate that 1%, although there were many people across the globe who saw intersex (as you called them) humans as an abomination.  Some even advocated stoning them to death.  Then as more knowledge was acquired, most notably the ability to use computers to sequence genetic material biological/medical science found that X and Y were not in fact binary.

So, your statement would be correct in (let's say) 1930, but it is no longer correct today.  Bottom-line, your statement is living in the past.

Just a little ancedote..

General Casimir Pulaski was George Washingtons right hand man and known as the Father of the American Calvary. The Pulaski skyway was named in his honor. When he died they thought his remains were lost at sea.

Sometime in the 90s they found a grave and remains that seemed to match documented wounds. They did a DNA sample from them and from a relative and found a match so they are pretty certain that it is him.

When checking the remains they noticed certain features of him seem to be more feminine especially in the jaw and hips. They are pretty certain that he was intersex and nobody back then had a clue.

He said that D Smith would not get the stats and would try to work his way out of Philly to make more money.

I doubt it. DeVonta is too much of a professional to force his way out. Even if he doesn't resign after his contract is done we have 4 years with him and Brown so we should enjoy it while it lasts instead of predicting that he is going to mad and force his way out.

Not sure. He seems pretty quiet and out of the spotlight. But time will tell we see a new side of him once he is fed up with poor QB play holding his career back.

He may still be a professional about the way he asks out. Doesnt have to be a sit ups in the driveway side show.

What I said, is when his targets diminish and he’s up for a new contract, he’s not gonna want to stay on a team when he was a firstvround draft pick and isn’t getting targets the reflect that

You assume he's going to have the exact same situation here for 5 seasons?

I was worried that finishing off seeing all fifty states would seem like a task completed but exactly the opposite. Still so many things in this country that I want to see or see again.  I encourage everyone to get out and see our great country and meet as many of our fellow citizens as possible.   But we are all citizens of this world and there are other places to see too.

Funny, the discussion by @UK Eagle and @TorontoEagle has me itching to get back to the United Kingdom and see more of Scotland.  My wife, my son’s girlfriend and my daughter want to as well and agreed to let me come to drive.  Figure I need a car to really see the country and Hadrian’s Wall is on my list of things I want to see.

Yeah as far as genetics go, x and y are binary

Lay off the peyote…

Speaking of genetics. Lots of yinzers at Camden yards tonight. I forgot how genetically inferior they are. Literally the dumbest humans.
