LOL the whiners just paid Purdy $53M a year

Goff is not elite. When we play the lions I think to myself “cool, Goff is easy just get in his face and he’ll throw a pick”

So far Goff is not much more than darnold, just more years of production

Can't help but agree here. Jared Goof is basically Darnold who managed to fall into an ultra-lucky situation (well-run organizations) from Day 1 instead of the Jets.

I think he'll be excellent. People hold him to such a ridiculous standard because of who his father is. The stuff people rip on him for would be no big deal if his last name was "Smith" instead of "Sanders". Meanwhile, if Jaxson Dart was Jaxson Smith, he wouldn't have been considered by anyone before the fifth round.

I agree with the standard as far as Sanders goes but your Dart example...uhh....

Not sure that's how it works...

All things being equal, If Jaxson Dart's name was Jaxson Smith but he had the same highlights and outlook as a QB prospect, I don't think it would've mattered what his last name was.

The result would've been the same and he'd be selected by the Giants.

Dart has no famous father overshadowing everything so having a different last name wouldn't have mattered.

Maybe some people hate disappointment so they prepare themselves for the possibility ahead of time

What a miserable existence, though.

Not even giving any room for ANY optimism whatsoever.

How does one live like that?

Some of us enjoy the analysis rather than apologetically deluding ourselves.

"Go team go". Fun.

Of our 11 selections in this past draft, I liked nine of them. It was just Milroe and Emmanwori that were dumb picks. Typically, you're lucky to hit on more than three of them in an average draft, so if anything, I'm entirely TOO optimistic. I should probably dial that back some.

Should they have gotten another O-Line guy instead of Emmanwori?

All 11 will be hall of famers that’s how optimistic I am

No, they should have taken a better player. My issue wasnt the position. And they wasted a third round pick in the process; not as badly as the third round pick they actually used, but both were spectacularly terrible decisions.

What’s wrong with Emmanwori

I am removing the team around them. Goff from a physical abilities/tools standpoint is much better QB, Love as well. Both are a tier or two above Purdy, IMO. That's not a knock on Purdy, he is a good QB.

If you start comparing Purdy on physical tools he is never going to win anything . Thats why he was a seventh rounder and looks like the kid who packs your groceries. But it is mental speed and short area quickness where he is elite

I think he's an average defender who doesn't play to his size. Potential is very high, but I'm concerned we're going to be attempting to change his instincts and make him something he isn't, and that often does not work well. I'll admit that a big part of what annoys me about him was all the Kam comparisons, which are way off imo, so I should probably try to separate myself from that. I would have been ok with him had we not traded up; not excited though.

That's exactly my point, thank you for agreeing.

Elite is a stretch on either of those factors.

Damn Rat, again, are you ok? I can't remember the last time you said anything positive about the Hawks. Seriously.

Also, why get mad at the player for comparisons that OTHERS are making?

I talk positively about plenty of players. You're just so obsessed with negative talk that nothing else registers with you.

Don't talk down to me. I'm doing just fine.

If you don't like my opinion on something, feel free to tell me why I'm wrong.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Not talking down to you at all, just legit asking if you're ok. I've been talking negative about Geno for years.

Never mind. Go Hawks
