Stafford is at 52k yards now. 11th all time, and 12k behind Rivers, 10k behind Matt Ryan, 6k behind Rodgers. I’m assuming Stafford will need to get to 60k — two more 4k seasons — and one more playoff run to get serious consideration. This would be real hard to carry out but from a narrative perspective, if he came back in 2025 or 2026 to lead Detroit to a Super Bowl he would be in for sure for ending the curse of Bobby Layne.

Six possessions, six scores. 🤷🏻‍♂️

He’ll get a couple of jet sweeps (and will decoy on a couple), and will get one or two quick hitches or WR screens. Probably will run a dozen snaps but if he gets targeted beyond LOS that will be gravy for him.

Well I never saw a fake flea flicker before but we’ll just take the ball back after your little bit of fun there.

Is Donovan Edwards going to win the Heisman next year?

Jet sweep all day long. Left, right, left, right...

This would be great.

He’s not going to cut his salary by two thirds to stay here. And I doubt Holmes is going to more than double it to keep him.

Sportrac has his market value as a 2 year contract with AAV of $6.9 million. His current deal is 2 years AAV of $3 million. He may not end up signing a $14 million deal, but he will likely be a lot closer to that than $6 million. Anyway, he will get his next contract somewhere else.

Williams will probably get a big contract offer from another team and will not stay. That would be fine as he is at his peak. Swift will not get a second contract offer next year, even if he plays a full 17 and goes for 2000 yards. Too many injuries. They need to draft someone who can be their 1b option at RB next season and step in as RB1 in 2024.

I’ve seen at least three mocks that have us taking Cam Smith from SC with our second first round pick. Don’t know how he compares to Ringo, who is gone by 10 in most drafts. I’d still love to see Holmes draft another big man for the DL with the Rams pick, and then a CB. But if the Rams lose out and Houston botches their tank job, I wouldn’t cry if Holmes picks Young.

Lockdown CB is a must. He will find his Jalen Ramsey. Those guys go early.

I saw some pundit speculating about Geno Smith. He is going to cash in this offseason. Does Holmes sign him to a three year deal front loaded with a big (for Geno) guarantee and draft Richardson with a 2, then design an RPO offense around their skill set?

Oh Dan Snyder. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Everyone seems to dislike him.

If the comp is Marshall Faulk, though... https://www.walterfootball.com/nflhotpress/article/Bijan-Robinson-Compared-to-Marshall-Faulk

That game was so satisfying.

Anybody else scratching Stroud off the draft board after today?

Taysom Hill. Though I don’t understand why Payton would have done this with Drew Brees under center.

Of course. And I assume that Allen and the other QBs who moonlight as RBs will have shorter careers than the prototypical drop back QBs who rely more on accuracy. But it does seem like GMs (Howie Roseman) are increasingly willing to take mobile, athletic QB prospects, roll with them until they break, then repeat.

Josh Allen: 56.2% completion for his college career. YMMV

I live out of market and don't get to watch often, including last night, so I'm sure you are both right. Evaluating from afar, it seems that Yzerman's moves (esp. Husso) are paying off big, but Seider's game seems to be suffering. Maybe that's by design and he's being asked to stay at home, meaning the team is playing better defense though Seider's offensive stats are down. But I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering about the difference between this year and last.

Not watching the game, but was watching the score. I see Chiarot and Seider are both -3 for the game, and Seider has not been the same player this year as last. At what point does the coaching staff admit the pairing is not working?

Alvin Kamara, pick 67. Derrick Henry, pick 45. Barry Sanders was a ridiculous prospect. His one starting season: 2600 yards, 37 TDs, sub 4.4 40 time. Bijan Robinson barely has that in two and a half college seasons. Same with Barkley.

RBs these days have a short shelf life. And if Robinson stays healthy through his rookie contract, you’ll have to sign him to a massive extension or let him walk. This was kind of the same argument on Hock. If he has the potential to be as game-changing as Kittle or Kelce (ha!), positional value doesn’t matter. We see how that worked out, with Holmes deciding he wasn’t worth the contract he would command… while the next guy, Ed Oliver, is at least as valuable as Hock but will re-sign for much less.
