Ewers if he comes out will make a case with his raw potential. 2025's class has potential to be solid too given the guys who might go back to school. With the logjam that looks to be building with QBs for this class (subject to change as the draft comes closer of course), I have to imagine quite a few are going to return to school and see what next year brings as far as potential landing spots go. Can't wait to see who bails and who sticks out the draft process and try to figure out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's worse, he's still not bad enough for us to get a top 2 qb in this draft. That's mostly on the team as a whole. They have to much talent to draft 1 or 2 overall even with the QB playing bottom 5. The McRaiders are in the same Carr era spot. 6-9 wins depending on circumstances. Top 10 picks, but always out of reach for the top guys. Which is why I didn't like adding Slippin' Jimmy because he's more of the same. Kind of funny the defense is finally showing up just in time for the offense to fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix is like 25 years old, not sure if he's a first round talent. McCarthy has never impressed me at all, dude has bust written all over him.

His mechanics also look excellent this year. What are you watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty unreal. Very true. We all are begging for Caleb and Maye, but man if we could get Harrison Jr or Fashanu that is enormous. If we didn't take Mayer high I'd be all in on Bowers too. There's some interesting pass-rushers as well, but unless we were to move Tyree to the interior I don't see the need. I've heard CB McKinstry has been underwhelming. Any truth to that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't as much with him as a player, it was the philosophy of it. Moving on for the sake of moving on is stupidity, you need to move on with a plan of action. We just dumped him with no comp and threw our hands in the air and blindly pulled in whatever is next. We'll never be able to move on with decision making like that. Dirty underwear good analogy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude had 3 interceptions in 13 pass attempts against 2-4 Bowling Green. They've played against sub-par competition all year and he has yet to light it up at all. He just looks basic and boring to me, a Ryan Tannehill type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought they were going to get Brady. They benched Carr to prevent having to pay him if he got hurt. They could have rolled with Carr until things were certain and probably traded him. Instead they signaled to the league they were throwing him out. They played themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
