Cousins was surgical. This new offense really suits him.

Yeah, it was such a wild turn of events.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑16 Sep 2024 22:07holy crap this game went from a lock for the eagles to the Flacons for a potential go-ahead TD so quickly!
Barkley drops a gimme little pass in the flats to run out the clock. Settle for a FG. And the Falcons just chunk right down the field with absolutely no resistance whatsoever. I mean Joe Barry-esque 2-minute drill.
OMG A 48-yard XP for the win because of unsportsmanlike conduct!! And it's GOOD
The only final drive completion with any significant level of difficulty was the first short pass to Pitts. He squeezed that one in. All the other completions were to receivers running absolutely free. The Eagles never even attempted to pressure Cousins, either.wallyuwl wrote:Cousins was surgical.

I didn't say it was sound reasoning, but it is human nature. I am not defending the scouting process, but I also didn't break down a ton of Stroud film so didn't have anything else to rely on but preconceived notions. For the record I absolutely hated Bryce Young, so not defending that, either. I thought Richardson was the gem of that class. I think it is absurd of you to not consider the fact that human nature can work it's way into scouting rooms and, at the very least, partially inform some bad decisions.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑16 Sep 2024 14:47I don't know how to respond to this without being just unfathomably rude because while I know it was a common thing, it's genuinely the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Even dumber than the Tedford thing because at least that was a common coaching scheme and specific fundamentals that have to be altered. Scouting the helmet when looking for the most important position in the NFL is dumb.NCF wrote: ↑16 Sep 2024 14:39Ohio State QB. I was guilty of doubting Stroud for that very reason. Same thing that happened, in some regards, with Aaron Rodgers being a Tedford product.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑16 Sep 2024 13:47I will never in all my years understand how the whole draft world including the teams talked themselves out of a prototypical QB with the game film Stroud put against UGA and the arm talent to make every throw and into a 5'10" game manager with moderate/middling arm talent. It was the weirdest turn of events I could imagine. I was Stroud for QB1 his entire senior season and even kore so in the run up.
But it's especially dumb for the context of this conversation because look at ALABAMA QBS! They're all terrible except Hurts. People are like "Sure Stroud made elite throws and had outstanding pocket presence and ideal size, but he's a system guy because his WRs are great and he played at Ohio St.... Meanwhile, the 5'10" ball distributor from a system that has had an endless parade of mediocre ball distributors win national championships due to defense, elite OL play, and disciplined overall team play--HE's really got "it."
The whole thing was absurd. It was like the whole world collectively took psychadelics before evaluating the QBs.

So the QB who was taken was still Black. If anything by your logic Will Levis should have went first overall. Will Levis is a 6’4 white QB.Drj820 wrote: ↑17 Sep 2024 12:20Stroud was top one or two qb recruit out of high schoollupedafiasco wrote: ↑17 Sep 2024 10:59Except the QB that went first was also black so this is a stupid and ignorant statement.

Stroud threw 85 tds in college and 12 ints in college.
Stroud had prime time big games where he tossed the ball like a god.
If stroud was a top recruit, followed up by 85-12 td to int ratio, had broken several school records, was 6’3, and a white guy..he goes #1, not sorry!!

It is not racism, it a stupid billionaire who won't give anyone more than a year to fix his club.
