Saturday Divisional Round Games

[CT Dal Fan]

Gotcha

I would say that Allen and Mahomes are clearly better dual threats than LJ, but it seems as though the “dual threat” category is viewed with a narrower focus.

I think Allen and Mahomes are clearly better passers than Lamar though he's improved greatly this season too.

Can the Bills/Chiefs beat the Ravens?

On the other hand Bryce Young is why drafting a QB high is a big risk.

After 1 year you cannot tell, see troy aikman

 

[Cowboys93]

They’ll have 60-70 mil in cap space.

Good position to be in!

Just was telling the group chat they’d be a prime candidate for Saquon Barkley. Could you even imagine? Definitely must be nice to be a Texans fan right now!

 

[zerofill]

I think CJ has showed a lot this year though. Ravens just a far superior team period.
They are hard pressed to overcome the difference here.

 

[unionjack8]

He was one of 3 taken in the first round and not even the first one. It is not a guarantee.

Nobody said it was, but the CHANCE of hitting on a 1st round qb is EXPONENTIALLY bigger than every round after it

 

[Hadenough]

Congrats to Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Stroud is gonna be good. Tough game for him today with really cold temps and on the road but he is 22 and a special player.

 

[Adreme]

Its hard to beat a team that has all pro players at every single level when you simply do not. I am amazed by what Stroud did but at some point the talent difference just is too much to overcome and the Ravens are easily the most talented team in the AFC if not the NFL.

 

[Nova]

I am not sure if Allen is better than LJ. I would agree Mahomes is but Allen makes far too many dumb throws that Lamar just does not make.

yeah but to be fair, JA throws far more passes too

Aikman showed potential and a lot of flashes his rookie year. I’ve seen nothing impressive with Young.

 

[jazzcat22]

Come on refs, let those go and run out the clock.

 

[gmb1]

This will be a great learning lesson for Coach Demeco Ryans

Oh that would be so much fun!

I don’t know their needs well enough, so hopefully that would be a move they could afford — as in the opportunity cost.

Troy did, I'm his biggest fan. ever.
The higher the round you take a qb the bigger the chance of success

 

[Blackspider214]

This closes the book on the whole 'Stroud is elite' conversation, Good rookie season? Sure. Elite? Not even close. Got zero going on offense today.

My main complaint about Young going into the draft was that he just doesn’t have that “edge” to him.

Gotta have that if you don’t have the optimal size/athleticism/abilities.

 

[Buzzbait]

To those uninitiated....

This is called frontrunning and padding stats.

Does that make him a Stat-Bandito????

Yup. Give him a year or two, and watch out, though!

 

[Ozone22]

I'm thinking back to guys prime Randall Cunningham or Michael Vick (Vick the fastest QB ever at least).

A Super Bowl title gives Lamar the title over both.

Micheal Vick is on record saying Lamar is faster than him. Watching Vick in his playing days with the Falcons running faster than the speed of light. I would pick Vick

 

[GoldenR]

Good season by Stroud, he looked a little overwhelmed today, but after 8 years the kid should be even better next year. Sorry, I meant 1 year.
