My thoughts have been  "lets see him do it in the playoffs"

I was kind of on on his side until he said he never played a big game here,  he lost me on that.  To hell with him now.  

Someone should have asked him why he didn't score a single TD after the first half in one playoff game and didn't get into the end zone at all in another. Some players step up and take over in big games and some fade. I never liked the idea of paying a guy 16-17% of my cap space to watch him ghost in a big game.

The run designs by McVay are laughable.  Stafford overthrowing guys.  Looks like some of the 3 week shine has worn off. 

Of course it has. Who do people think Matt Stafford really is? A top 5, elite QB like Brady, Rodgers, Wilson, Allen, etc.? Did they expect that he was going to suddenly blast off into the MVP stratosphere and take the Rams to a Super Bowl? He's an overall good, sometimes great, sometimes elite, sometimes below average, sometimes awful QB. A guy who lacks consistency. A guy who has never been able to carry a team or put it altogether and deliver when the chips are on the table during a meaningful game. His stats against top-tier defenses and winning teams showed us this during his tenure here. His performance in big games and playoff games showed us this. Why would it suddenly change? Why would he suddenly, more consistently, become an elite QB?

That Stafford for MVP talk is starting to fade and Stat Padford is coming back down to Earth. Last, as is usually the case, he couldn't get it done and win a big game against the Cardinals throwing for a slightly above average 2 TDs, 1 INT, 280 yards, a 63% completion%, and a 63 passer rating. Tonight he doesn't look much better with 0 TDs, 1 INT and 131 yards in the first half. And yes, of course I recognize he beat the defending Super Bowl Champs in week 3, but if he loses tonight he will be 1-2 against teams with a winning record/

The Draft Network: Malik Willis Taking the Next Step

Lamar might be light for him. Willis has a freaking hose.

I think early indications are from reports I've read that Willis has a stronger arm than Jackson. I read one former Auburn Coach, Pat Dye, who compared him in an ESPN Radio interview to DeShaun Watson. I can't really say what Willis is or what he will be, but as of now, I'd consider him someone worth our #1 overall pick.

If someone felt comfortable taking Lance (I did) then drafting Willis is little different because the talent level appears to be similar.

I hope Raffi doesn't preform in front of kids dressed like that!

Urban Meyer is turning into a disaster 4 games in. Maybe he wants to get fired so he can take the USC job?

Looking at PFFs top prospects for 2022 I'd love to be able to get one of Kayvon Thbodeaux or Aidan Hutchison with our first 1st rounder and Chris Olave with our second 1st.

I don't see a single QB I would take in the first round and we likely won't be prepared to contend until at least 2023 anyway. I would love to get a truly elite pass rusher and the first quality linebacker the team has seen in ages.

Have you watched highlight on the kid from Liberty Malik Willis? Him and Matt Corral (well until Carroll and Kiffin got blanked by Alabama on Saturday) have been the two QBs I like thus far. And admittedly, I have only watched highlights of Willis and never a full game of Liberty football. 

My problem with it is that all the charm and grittiness of the Sopranos was eliminated in favor of making a generic mob movie. Take out the names of the Sopranos characters and someone of the mannerisms of the characters and this could have just been a generic mob movie. This lacks the realness and terrific acting of all the best mob movies like Goodfellas, Godfather I & II, Bronx Tale, Departed, as well.

penn state, iowa, michigan state, byu, coastal carolina.

all more overrated than michigan.

Harbaugh constantly needs the EMS called when he plays Michigan State. Until he stops choking against MSU, I wouldn't call Michigan better than Michigan State or say Sparty is more overrated than us. We can't throw the football downfield and eventually someone with a good defense is going to key in on our running game and force Cade to try and win a football game by passing the football and I worry he won't be able to do it.

So another season has gone down the drain and yet again, all we have to look forward to is the NFL Draft. So, with a new regime in place and likely a top 3 pick plus another 1st rounder in hand, let the speculation begin as to who we pick.

I saw Many Saints on Friday and agree with the sentiments of your friends. I did not enjoy the movie very much and was let down in lots of ways.

most of us knew that before the season started...

Holmes was willing to pass on Fields and Jones so there is a chance he wasn't certain yet.

At least we're learning early that Goff isn't the guy for us long term.

Welp, I want the first overall pick this year and we are doing all we can to achieve that. We're giving Holmes all the draft capital he needs to complete a successful rebuild.

Keep fighting and stay strong!!! I hope she makes it through this and that both of you come out more resilient and stronger than ever!

Malik Willis.  All day. 

I like Willis too from what I've watched on YouTube and read about him.

So who do we like best at #1 overall? Desmond Ridder, Kevon Thibedeaux, Malik Wills, Sam Howell, Spencer Rattler?

This is the worst red zone offense in football.

Did Swift literally just set that ball down on the field?

This is also the worst run defense in all of football.

Worse then John Glenn, Salem, Plymouth, and all the winless teams in MHSAA.
