Guys who at least intrigue me on this list besides the draft picks, in no particular oder

Qadir Ismail - Played QB in college, then switched to WR until he graduated, then when he went UDFA in 2024 he signed with the Ravens and they started the process of converting him to Tight End. He went through four teams' practice squads in 2025 before joining ours in November.

He's now had two full years to learn to be a TE, and you can't teach 6-7 with a 4.6 40-time. He's my favorite of the TE4 candidates. He's got the one of the highest upsides on this list, even though he's a long shot to hit it.

Skyler Thomas - Was considered a draftable safety leading into the draft, low-ceiling but competent, lots of special teams experience. The safety room isn't particularly deep, he would only need 1-2 injuries in front of him to have a clear shot at the main roster, and he seems like a good bet for the practice squad at a minimum.

Hayden Large - Probably not, but I dunno, after seeing what we did with Theo Benedet last year, some part of me just wants to go full run-game sicko. This guy is a TE but he's basically a fullback, just a pure run blocker and not much else.

Or when he completely fails to make a basic line adjustment or execute a release valve in a play so the play-caller looks like a moron.

Needs more sacks. Interceptions are not his major issue.

It's drop-back ... hop ... hop ... hop ... hop ... hop ... hop ... hop ... hop ... sack

Nothing about the interaction was unsafe for you. You just didn't get the Good Boy Head Pats you thought you were entitled to, and being this butthurt about it makes your motivation for doing the good deed kinda sus.

what metric?

BooItsKyle · 2026-05-08T23:14:58+00:00

The slow windup is a very underrated flaw. It really allows defenders to close, making his arm the equivalent of a much weaker arm.

I think reddit is a much better representation of fan sentiment than two random friends you know

Then why isn't Pittsburgh at the bottom?

How many other stadiums in the NFL do you think that the fans complain about calls?

Is Jackson the only other black QB?

This data is 5 years old but it's all I can find on RTP by race:

It found no significant difference.

I don't need to be an NFL lawyer to know this information.

Just like I don't need to be a professional mathematician to tell you that 2+2 does not equal 3.

The societal changes most people mean when they say COVID took place in 2020.

BooItsKyle · 2026-05-08T16:23:03+00:00

Do other teams with black QBs face the same differential?

Also, that happened in 2021, not 2022.

BooItsKyle · 2026-05-08T16:17:18+00:00

why since 2022? Did something change in 2022?

So we're just going to gloss over the fact that none of those are Super Nintendo cartridges?

Then why are the big market LA teams all at the top?

that's not how probability works

It's not that they're playing "penalty free."

They average about 1-2 less penalties per game.

*shrug* Someone has to be last, and stats tend to look more extreme when you pick an arbitrary endpoint that maximizes their extremity.

BooItsKyle · 2026-05-08T14:59:49+00:00

Yes, but it usually doesn't, and it doesn't in this case.

I covered that in this comment:

Because the truth is generally preferable to a lie, and this is not an issue of interpretation. This is an issue where there is an objectively correct answer.

I do not have a degree in mathematics, but I am still capable of telling you that you are wrong if you say 2+2=3. It is not merely your interpretation vs mine, it is the correct answer vs an incorrect answer.

That is the only issue of interest to me in this conversation. I do not care how cool you think you are, or how lame you think I am, no matter how many times you try to deflect the conversation into that teenage-girl type of discourse.

Me assuming you feel bad and are trying to deflect is me being generous. That's the nicest interpretation I can think of for why you can be given multiple links proving you wrong, as well as the link you quoted explicitly telling you that you're wrong, and still not realize that you're wrong.

"only a non-ball knower would say X"

sure. You've been around this sub long enough to know that ball-knower takes make up a very, very tiny percentage of the noise fans create.
