2025 NFL Thread

I'm worried about Ward's tendency to just stand there flat-footed waiting for someone to get open. He does it A LOT.
He won't ever get that much time in the NFL.  "Nonchalant" isn't a thing there.

Ewers is gonna be in royal trouble.

Ewers is gonna be in royal trouble. 

I'm afraid so.

But he's not always so slow and indecisive.  As droog pointed out on another thread, it seems like each time he comes back from injury, he has to be re-trained to trust his instincts and release the ball quicker.  I'm hopeful for him, that he can heal up, get back some confidence, and excel in the NFL.  He's a good guy who really helped our team when we needed him, and I wish him the best.

It's interesting to reflect back on the NFL QBs who were "sure things", and were in fact sure things.  And those who weren't.  Some of the latter were sure thing busts like Manziel I think.

I think a lot of the "real sure things" were 6'4" and had very strong arms.

He may wind up doing great, or not, I have no idea.  He is super nonchalant, though.

that should be able to be coached out of him

It has been before.  It doesn't seem to stick.  Hopefully it will in the future.

He should be motivated to have it stick - or he'll be looking for a real job

BREAKING: The NFL fined the Falcons $250,000 and DC Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 over the leak of Shedeur Sanders’ phone number.

Ulbrich’s son, Jax, took the number from Ulbrich’s iPad and used it to prank Sanders during the draft.

Jax about to stand in for a tackling dummy with the LBs for a session.

Former FSU QB Jordan Travis, of the Jets, had to retire due to his knee injury.  It's very sad.  He was a great player in college and never got a shot in the NFL.
