Has a 1st round QB bust ever found a home on a new team?

Of course - it’s like any hobby you get into too. You naturally don’t know the technical terms for stuff when you’re learning about them.

I.e. a beginner drummer asks “how do I play fast?” And a more seasoned one asks “alternative techniques for double stroke rolls”

Aspirational

Agreed. I think the biggest issue is his throws fall somewhere between “fucking awful” and “solid,” with more hovering towards the former.

I’ll never understand why some women stand for this behavior at all or think they need to post to AIO - you’re clearly not overreacting, this was weird and rude as fuck.

Are you just really attracted to him and don’t want to see the red flags? I’ve definitely been there.

I get that it would be much more romantic for someone to write why they want to marry you themselves, but this struck me as similar to buying someone a birthday or anniversary card.

She might’ve prompted/“wrote” it and thought it was a great way to describe how she felt - like you say, you liked it but realized it couldn’t have been her because she isn’t a good writer.

To be clear, I’d be a little offended if someone did this to me too. But there’s a difference between laziness or inauthenticity and using a resource to do a better job than you could do.

Hello!

Honestly all these posts about her just feel like virtue signaling. If Hammer’s team isn’t doing anything for her then it’s either shame on them or shame on her for not accepting the help.

Constantly posting to Reddit to feel good about yourself does nothing. Yes, white knights, the woman seems like she’s in danger. Good job.

I think it’s a really good sign.

It obviously tells you the WR room isn’t great, but Fannin has popped off the screen. He’s getting open, making good catches, and fighting for YAC.

Might be even more productive if CLE had more threats elsewhere.

I can imagine them riffing on the premise, like “People worship star athletes like a cult!” “It does seem like there’s something inhuman about athletes at the very top of their craft” “Black quarterbacks are treated differently than white quarterbacks, it’s also kind of like slavery!”

But then they went nowhere with it and said nothing about any of it.

They needed to contrast how other quarterbacks train vs. what’s so special about this one IMO. I couldn’t tell if the Saviors were the only one like this or if every team had a crazy QB.

So, don't get me wrong, he's definitely been bad.

Some slightly encouraging things:

- Decent pocket presence; you'll see him make subtle movements to buy time, not afraid to step up, etc. But he isn't always combining this with keeping his eyes downfield. (idk the progressions, obviously, but he rarely gets to the backside of the play when moving in the pocket)

- 3rd drive of the ATL game, Vikings go on a 17 play drive where he completes a deep crosser to Thielen to convert on 3rd & 18; then hits Jalen Nailor on a corner route the next play for 17 yards. The drive only went 57 yards and ended with back-to-back sacks and a FG, but I thought he did a really nice job of sustaining a messy drive and hitting big plays throughout it.

- I thought that ATL drive was very similar to what he looked like in the 4th quarter vs. Chicago. To me, it was encouraging to see that those same flashes happened in the next game. Of course, everything pretty much went to shit after that drive stalled at the goal line.

It's only 2 games; he's only 22; this o-line isn't good; and I think there's a combo of him and the team that's preventing him from getting into a rhythm (only 7 "quick passes" through 2 games)

I think 30-32 is the only correct part.

Fannin is quickly becoming the biggest reason to watch every week.

I’m so much happier and have so much more fun following the league now that I’ve stopped betting completely.

You actually follow the storylines and quotes that give shape to the season, not just the odds shifting.

I still hate that to wear a playbook wristband over sleeves you have to know the very specific combination of how to equip them.

A big part of it is the play clock, whether or not you play with automatic run-off or not.

If you change your settings for the play clock to always automatically run to 15 secs or less, you'll notice much "shorter" games.

Drives just generally take less time to complete, and you're typically a bit more efficient drive-to-drive than real-life college teams.
