The neither guy is top 5 argument. One is a joke but the one with a worst record and slightly better stats is elite.

Analogy is rough on the simple minded.

How do you think Cousins would’ve done on the 2015 Rams?

well, when the analogy sucks .... but hey, keep puffing your chest out, corky. 

 

why not just come out and admit that you're vikings fan and love seeing a giant sperm on your team's helmet.

I'm on the Anderson wagon. Carter is starting to get huge hype and the combine is still months away. I think Anderson falls right into the Eagles lap

My favorite place is in Durham, Guanajuato Mexican Restaurant on Roxboro Rd.  It is better than anywhere else I have been in NC.  It's a good spot for a lunch or takeout. It's not really a place to go to for dinner unless you're getting it to go.  Mi Barrio on Hwy 98 just east of Durham is also a good lunch place.

I watched him play often and he's in that top 10 range but you earn top 5. He has not yet.

WTF with the racist comment when I am talking Cousins vs Herbert? You know your argument is crap if you go there on Herbert.

Well Cousins is the white Dak Prescott so now you're racist.  

The Hurts squirters dont like it when they get RTK'd awww

I think we all are more or less. As bad as the Saints are though I think the chances of us landing him are still low unfortunately, which is why most of us are looking at DEs in the late first-third round range.

It's higher then you think. Houston and Seattle will be looking at qbs, Chicago desperately needs oline help or they could go Carter, and Rams have a couple winnable games left which would push that pick for Detroit down. It's a real possibility

Hurts is a coach's son.  I listened to his interview with Jason and Travis Kelce on their podcast.  He really comes across as a young man that was raised to work.  Whatever his ceiling may be, I do not think he will stop working or be unwilling to try to correct his mistakes.   I think he deserves credit for his improvement along with the coaches.  

Absolutely. 85% is on him for listening and changing his spots. Truly remarkable and I'm happy to see it.

Hey, I hope you're right. I like Carter a lot too but Anderson is a clear #1 if we can get him. Bears are a real risk still IMO even if they should go OT. 

Herbert is 2-4 vs the Chiefs and there is no shame in that. The Chiefs are rough.

He is 6-5 vs Denver and Vegas combined and 8-9 overall in his own division (9-8 would have meant playoffs). Denver and Vegas are 15-31 and 20-23 during Herbert's career. POOR BABY!

It was not humanly possible that a top 5 QB with a mediocre team could do better than 6-5 vs Denver and Vegas? Is that his greatness?

Maybe POOR BABY can't beat 15-31 teams enough if they have a good defense? How many excuses does this dude need?

Top 5 QBs are not what they used to be.

 

I wish we had a 2021 game where if Herbert outplays Cousins he goes to the playoffs but Cousins outplayed Herbert... 27-20 Vikings win.

I get that 25-37 for 294 yards 2 TDs no picks and a 109.5 rating is better than 20-34 for 195 1 TD 1 pick and a 72.5 rating but don't forget to factor POOR BABY!

The Vikings were a 3-6 juggernaut on the road with a 24 30 ranked D so I could see how a top 5 QB had no shot in that one.

The hype Carter has been getting lately, it could very well push Anderson down to us. I'm sure the combine will only help. Not sure who posted it but I saw a tweet early last week most GM's have Carter as the best overall prospect in this year's draft. Sorry if I misinterpreted the tweet. Can't remember if it said scouts or GM's

Im a lifelong Dawgs fan and I would take Anderson in a heartbeat over Carter. Even if we had equal need at both positions. We can hope...

I'm curious about something. What exactly is your motivation for this entire discussion? Are you arguing that the mis-kick by the Giants yesterday should have been interpreted as a failed dropkick field goal attempt? It clearly wasn't, but even if it was, the Eagles would get the ball at the spot of the kick, which is pretty much where they got it anyway. So I don't really see the point of this discussion.

Another point I think you're not considering about the Tucker dropkick is that was a kickoff rather than a field goal attempt. Kickoffs by nature are different than field goals. You use a tee on a kickoff. You don't use a tee on a field goal.

Also you seem to be arguing that Tucker's dropkick was illegal. So then wouldn't you say that if what happened yesterday was a dropkick, you'd then be arguing that it was an illegal attempt? Which means it wasn't a dropkick. Which is what we've been saying all along.

Boy are you confused. Let me catch you up and then ill wash my hands of it because, you are right in that it has occupied too much time and blog space. 

First, a drop kick can be used as or in place of a Kick off, a punt, a FG attempt or point after so what the intention was irrelevant. It only matters if kicking the ball met the criteria for a legal drop kick.

Initially I thought it did. But I don't presume to know more than the refs and if they got it wrong the league would have already said so. I read the rule and as I read it, it seemed to me that it should have been a legal drop kick. I couldn't find a satisfactory explanation and so I asked in the blog. Iggles_Phan responded but I felt his explanation was inaccurate and posted the rule. A few posted that I was misinterpreting the rule so I looked further and found that I was right and I was wrong. The ball can be kicked legally after it bounces while it is ascending. The league stated that Tuckers drop kick was illegal because he didn't kick it before its apex - their words not mine.

I'm done, everyone thanks for playing.

There is a bit of Anderson fatigue out there and UGA is having a better season than BAMA, the mock experts are going to mix things up a bit.  At 5 I'm happy with either one and I'm not going to delude myself into thinking we'll have a choice. 

So we're on on the DT/DE bandwagon in the first, but IF we have to let Bradberry walk is there a CB you guys would be OK taking with our early first (wherever that ends up)? I admittedly don't know enough about Ringo, Smith etc as prospects, but they also don't seem to be getting Sauce Gardner hype either.

I dunno.  Maybe contract escalators, maybe ego to have more INTs... who knows what the truest motivation is, but it is selfish at its heart either way.

 

It sounds as if he misjudged the distance and made a bad call... I cant believe he would go ball if he knew Devonta was that close, he didn't even jump to highpoint it like a contested catch. Either way, bad call... when in doubt go for an aggressive PBU.

Ringo and Cam Smith would be the 2. I'm almost positive that second 1st rd pick will be a trade back. Bradberry is as good as gone this offseason. Pressed up against the cap with other players to keep.
