    I haven't followed this enough, but I was really impressed by what I saw in Darnold.

    There's no point in this because right now we don't know what players are coming out. And we don't know how any of these QBs will look after another college season. Sometimes a guy comes back for a senior season and his draft stock goes down.

    And besides it's getting harder and harder to tell who's going to be any good in the NFL because college football is getting more and more unlike the NFL with all their spread offenses and QBs operating out of the shot-gun all the time. We're seeing that with Paxton. Highly touted first round pick, and two years in and he's still not ready.

    Meanwhile Dak Prescott and Mitch Trebisky look to be instant successes, and neither was a first round pick. Or second round either. Normally both would be after-thoughts in the NFL, but it's a new world now.

    He's been pretty impressive. The Rose Bowl was an impressive offensive game all-around, and that's the probably the USC game I watched the most of last year. He's Phil Steele's top NFL prospect, which must mean he's a redshirt sophomore and eligible to enter the draft this year.
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    I have complete confidence that we won't be 16-0, nor will we be 0-16. I would think we'll be somewhere between those two, so.... 1-15 wins and I'm also certain that we could make an algebraic formula like W + L = 16 to figure out how many times we lose once we know how many times we've won. I predict this prediction is accurate, completely, 100%, with 85% certainty.

    Mitch trubisky was the 2nd overall pick Cugel. The bears sold the farm to move up 1 pick for him when they didnt need to do so.


    As for 2018 Qbs....Our guy is already on the roster. He goes by the name of Chad Kelly Kyle Sloter. My money is on Kelly.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    No, to be honest the matchups are really hard to fully call. So, I tend to focus as much on likely streaks (can the team go four or five straight to start a season). Then, things like what teams have we struggled against of late or dominated. For instance, as good as the Pats are, our defense has really had our way with Brady.

    We have struggled at times with the Raiders and they have a good pass rush (yet to see evidence pass protection is much better) and could have a good running game. So, on a matchup basis, they could hurt us. Could just as easily be a win at Chiefs and loss at Phi or Pats.

    I don't really expect us to lose to the raiders at home, but I'm also not sure I can confidently think we will start off 4-0, so when I look at streaks, which team do I think we are most likely to lose within a stretch. I think our defense has their way with Dak, especially if Prescott is gone. I think we take the home opener and win in Buffalo, so that leave the Raiders as the likely loss if we aren't going to go 4-0 to start the season.

    Anyway, that's the method to my madness, which isn't exactly an exact science.

    None of it is at this point. That's why I always predict 16-0.

    Don't forget the dude from Wyoming. He might go first overall.

    Because of my belief in streaks, I then see the streak coming to an end in the playoffs, much better to be 15-1, lose week 17, and then go on three game winning streak and finish year 18-1!!!

    I think they'll be lucky to be 7-9, supposed to be a great QB draft though.

    That's about where I am too. Too many questions at QB and the o-line, paired with a brutal schedule, to have confidence we're winning more than 8 at this point.
