    I thought the last part of this stat was going to be "..when there is less than 4 seconds left in the game." :p

    That's interesting, a bit convoluted and skewed yeah... that seems like a stat designed to diminish Rodgers.
    I love it.

    :D

    1. Baker Mayfield (Browns)
    2. Sam Darnold (Jets)
    3. Lamar Jackson (Ravens)
    4. Josh Allen (Bills)
    5. Josh Rosen (Cardinals)
    I absolutely love Baker Mayfield. At the time, it seemed like a "Really?!" pick by the Browns, but I do think they have the complete package in Baker. The guy loves football, loves his team, the city, and the fans. Loyal and a fighter to the end, and that moxie is just about unmatched right now.

    Darnold seems solid, especially once they add more pieces around him. I haven't seen the Josh's play much, other than Rosen getting destroyed one Thursday night. He looked absolutely lost, but I think he's improved considerably since then. And other than highlights I haven't really seen Lamar too much either, but I think he shows plenty of promise. He and Baker could strike up a nice little resurgence in the AFC North.

    Another AFC North QB could surface from this rookie class, Mason Rudolph. He was a late round pick by the Steelers, but he came with a lot of buzz and I'm excited to see him play, and with Ben on his way out that will likely be soon.

    My rankings based on my very limited viewing experience.

    1) Mayfield. He done wonders for the Browns ok so it wouldn’t be hard to improve after last year but still as a rookie he has impressed

    2) Jackson It’s only been 2 games as a starter but boy has he come out flying & not just his running abilities.

    3) Allen Darnold & Rosen I haven’t seen enough of these guys to separate them out some of that is down to them picking up injuries plus the fact that all 3 teams are also struggling so it makes it hard to assess how much of a impact they could be making in a different team.

    Well with Lamar last week I finally watched all 5 rookie QBs.
    Darnold is a slightly better passer than Jackson (although not as precise) but he is also an interception machine. Jackson did throw two picks but in all fairness they were both caught off deflections. It's not like he's out here throwing it straight to defenders which is what Darnold seems to struggling with. I would still pick him above Allen and Rosen though.

    Going by the numbers the rankings would be:

    Baker Mayfield: 62.70% CMP, 7.21 YPA, 2.43 TD/I RATIO.
    Lamar Jackson: 60.71% CMP, 7.41 YPA, 1.00 TD/I RATIO.
    Sam Darnold: 55.02% CMP, 6.69 YPA, 0.79 TD/I RATIO.
    Josh Allen: 52.53% CMP, 6.28 YPA, 0.60 TD/I RATIO.
    Josh Rosen: 55.47% CMP, 6.16 YPA, 0.91 TD/I RATIO.

    Baker is the only guy in the lineup that doesn't throw like you expect a rookie to throw. Jackson's 'inaccuracy issues' were way overblown and Josh Allen at least seems to be improving. Rosen is getting worse despite Arizona getting a new OC. It's his rookie year so he might get better in 2019 but honestly? I just don't think he has it.

    I think the AFC North is going to be fun with those two QBs and I am so glad Jacksonville skipped out on Lamar. Fournette with Lamar would have been legit scary. I also think Darnold will get much more comfortable next year and the Jets will finally get their franchise QB.

    The ceiling for those 3 feels pretty high. Baker can become the next Brees. Darnold looks like a Brett Favre gunslinger type and Lamar is like this mix of Michael Vick's athleticism and Wilson's elusiveness and passing potential. I think we will remember this draft class in high esteem a decade from now.

    They are too mesmerised by Jerry's "beautiful" big screen to show up for the actual game.

    So after last night rather Disappointing/ Shocking performance have the Saint potential blown there SUPERBOWL chance if they had won last night they would probably have been the No 1 seeds with the home advantage which is pretty big in New Orleans now they will have to hope that the Rams lose another game for this to occur & personally there chance of betting the Rams in the potential Conference game at home are higher then playin in L.A.
    Thoughts.

    Bears since acquiring Mack: 8-3
    Cowboys since acquiring Cooper: 4-1

    Gruden created 2 Super Bowl contenders just by trading.

    Ironic.

    They could turn others into division champions, but not themselves.

    Maybe not Carolina also lost so there is still hope .

    Ugh ignore that last part I was dead tired & dosed up on cold medicine for the 2nd weekend in a row.
    Carolina have nothing to do with Indianapolis chances of a Play Off berth Sorry.

    Maybe James Franklin's chance to go to the NFL soon. As a lifelong Penn State fan, he has been good for the program, a great recruiter and spokesman for the School. However, game-day Coach? Nossa much.....

    Let's face it, there's clearly a far more superior candidate to replace Mike McCarthy above all others:

    Whoa scratch that. If you guys can get it done and win the division over the Steelers, you could free up the 2nd WC slot for us.

    We just need to somehow beat the Texans at home to do it though.

    Unlikely, as we would have to defeat the Chiefs in order to come out on top. The Steelers face the Saints and Patriots after Oakland this week, so I'm not saying it can't be done, but we would need to pull off a spectacular victory on the road to liberate the North from the hands of the steel welders of Pittsburgh.

    So much yes.

    This Bears fan would LOVE to have the legendary 7-9 Jeff Fischer come to Green Bay and sign a Gruden-like contract.
