I know people don't like it, but I would give rookie QBs very few reps until the o-line was built a bit more (1-2 years).
How do u tell Lawrence that he can't start cause the OL sucks and that he has to back up CJ Beathard lol
-
Great college qbs like TLaw, Burrow, Tua are struggling with nfl defenses cause of their poor OLs

He got trolled in the Eagles joint practice was getting called captain checkdown.
He needs to be in a run heavy RPO offence because his passing and accuracy has really fallen off imo which was never great to begin with.
He has Josh Allen's jumbo size without his throwing ability.
I think he would be an excellent backup qb on the Ravens in that system @Van40
Think his starting qb days are over.
We have a solid young backup in Tyler Huntley who won't have a circus around him.
Cam is done in this league as a full time starter. Not the same athlete anymore and his throwing was always erratic.

Rbs are replaceable but losing Dobbins before the season even started just sucks

KD is the best player in the world.
Maybe. He did just lose a game 7 at home in the 2nd round

Suggs was right there smh.
Barnes is a huge risk but also a massive upside. He could be a mix of Siakam and Draymond in his final form.

You'd think playing for your hometown team would inspire you to train and focus 100% on your craft but instead all this kid did was party.
What a bust. I was team Ehlers at the time of the draft
-
Lowry and Derozan wanna team up with the Lakers. That team would win multiple championshipss
-
OEL has to turn it around and Garland has to pop to actually make this deal make sense.
JB continues to get killed value-wise in trades

72% of game 5 winners in the finals go onto win it all. Tonight likely decides it. Leaning towards Bucks.

Game 4 has been incredible. Best finals game since 17'

Suns in 5. Giannis is playing with a gimpy knee. Chances of reinjury are high.

Thoughts on New Zeland’s Laurel Hubbard to become first trans-athlete to compete in the Olympics this year?
Having transitioned in her 30s in 2012, the 43 year old will be competing in weightlifting.
Prior to her transition she set junior records for weightlifting in New Zealand in 1998 that were eventually surpassed by David Liti.
At the 2017 Australian International & Australian Open in Melbourne, she competed at the heaviest 90 kg+ category, winning the gold medal with a 123 kg snatch and 145 kg clean & jerk, for a total of 268 kg at a bodyweight of 131.83 kg. She thus became the first trans woman to win an international weightlifting title for New Zealand. Although Hubbard met eligibility requirements to compete, her win sparked controversy, with some other competitors claiming the competition was unfair. Athletes that were critical of the decision to allow Hubbard to compete include Iuniarra Sipaia, Toafitu Perive, Deborah Acason and Tracey Lambrechs. Australian Weightlifting Federation's chief executive, Michael Keelan, said it was unfair to other competitors.
Hubbard qualified for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, but an elbow injury during the competition forced her withdrawal from the event while leading the field.
Hubbard won two gold medals at the 2019 Pacific Games in Samoa.[18] The decision to allow Hubbard to compete was subsequently criticised by the Samoa 2019 chairman, Loau Solamalemalo Keneti Sio, and Samoa's Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Aiono Sailele Malielegaoi.
In 2020 she won the gold medal in the women's +87 kg event at the Roma 2020 World Cup in Rome, Italy.
On 21 June 2021, the New Zealand Olympic Committee confirmed that Hubbard had been selected for the New Zealand Olympic team to compete in the women's 87-kilogram category. This decision resulted in Hubbard becoming the first openly transgender athlete to be selected for the Olympic Games.
The decision attracted controversy, with Belgian weightlifter Anna Van Bellinghen claiming that allowing a transgender woman to compete in the women's event was unfair and that the situation was "like a bad joke". The selection was also criticised by the former New Zealand representative athlete Tracey Lambrechs. Australian competitor Charisma Amoe-Tarrant supported Hubbard's participation.
Safe to say there’s gonna be a $&!# storm of controversy.
It's ridiculous. Maybe create a Trans division or something cause it's not fair. Even though Hubbard transitioned, her physical advantages, clearly still exist.

JG was a 2nd round pick.
My point is that far too many professional leagues just bury their prospects in the minors or overseas. Give these guys some opportunities to play in the big leagues. Sink or swim.
