Ballard loves big, fast WRs, and Alec Pierce was frequently referred to throughout the draft process as D.K. Metcalf lite.

Rookie year stats of 2 QB's:

QB A is Luck
QB B is Jones

What is the point? That Jones is equal or superior to Luck? That he was just as good as Luck as a rookie?

The situations for Jones and Luck were completely different.

Jones was only sacked 18 times, Luck was sacked 41 times. Lucks offensive line was shit, This disastrous unit was a source for constant pressure, as no quarterback was hit or hurried more in 2012 than Luck. Luck took a team that had 2 wins to 11 wins. Luck had to do so much more his rookie season than Jones. Jones would have gotten destroyed by the offensive line the Colts had. Outside of Wayne, the other receivers were nothing to write home about.

Jones landed in a perfect spot for him, Luck did not.

Stats can be misleading as hell, one only has to look at Wentz to realize that.

Bill Russell, God bless his memory, seldom led the NBA in offensive stats. But he went 21-0 in winner take all games.

1 guy in 5 can make a huge difference. 1 guy in 11, its harder to do.

I know wrong forum but that 21-0, including 10-0 in seventh games, is about as impressive as it gets in team sports. In football it is 1 in 22, even harder.

The point was that the OP who said "Mac Jones hasn't proven shit yet" was wrong. He's proven that he was a solid starting QB as a rookie and based on the careers of QBs with comparable rookie seasons, he's likely on a pretty good career trajectory.

Thought I would start a thread for discussion.

First up - Dam's favorite OT prospect Teven Jenkins.

Year 2 for Teven....just days into training camp and the Bears are ready to move on from him.

Obviously there is a new regime in place and they didn't draft him.

There are some rumors about maturity issues - he was demoted to second team during OTA's and reportedly wasn't happy about that.

From Rapoport:

Garafolo adds:

Also need to remember that Jenkins slid on draft day due to injury concerns with his back. He had surgery on it last season but there were concerns that his back was going to be a chronic issue.

So anybody interested in Jenkins as depth?

And at what price - Day 3 draft pick or player? Since Eberflus is now Chicago's coach, he may be interested in a defensive player.

If a draft pick is involved, I would hope it would be a conditional draft pick based on either playing time or if he stays on the roster.

Good info ...... thanks.
