2021 NFL Off-Season Thread

[The Buscher]

Tom Brady is already moaning about the jersey number changes, because apparently he thinks QBs and offensive linemen are too stupid to identify who needs to be blocked.

[Maxx]

He wouldn’t have an issue if it wasn’t 47 years since his last college game.

[gunnar hendershow]

Brady being the first guy to complain about that rule change is so on-brand. He's right that it makes it a little more difficult to identify certain players on defense but you'd figure you'd have a scouting report beforehand to tell you stuff like "number 9 will line up as ILB" and such. So I don't really see how it's going to confuse offenses.

[LL!]

Who cares? Dude is gone after a couple of seasons. Just ignore the old man like everyone else does.

You might as well just choose the Dolphins. Half of what would have been Houston's future is there anyways. 

Or the Cardinals since they have the other half.

How is Mond as a QB? I have heard him linked with us a lot but is this another Mitch situation? I know the pick won't be nearly as high but like I just want a good QB man  

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, he's the latest darling because he's a great athlete. I don't see him being anything better than a Mitch type, where he may do some athletic things, but I don't think he'll ever lead you to a championship. Before teams started going psycho and drafting every quarterback in the first round, I think he would have been a solid third or fourth round pick. But he was on some talented teams and played very tough competition and wasn't the type to step up and take over a game. Ever.

People mocking him at the bottom of the first (or even Davis Mills near the top of the second) do make me chuckle.

Is he the QB that was highly rated coming out of High School but has had a variety of leg injuries?

Pretty sure you're thinking of Davis Mills from Stanford. 

[jrhodes]

Mond has a good week of practice and performance at the Senior Bowl.

He's big and athletic but needs to work on his accuracy. Could be the next Trubisky, could be Josh Allen.

He's not a 1st round prospect but I could see the Bears taking him in the 2nd and letting him sit behind Dalton for most of the year.

[Lineker]

Mills did his ACL a couple of times, iirc.

If they can sign Villanueva to be a RT option and move Brown before the draft that's ideal. I was growing worried teams would want to wait until after the draft and the Ravens would be stuck with picks in 2022 and 23 as compensation.

This is the first time I've seen John Cena. Can't believe he broke his own green screen to intimidate me.

And the trade has happened. Brown to the Chiefs. I know the Ravens got KC's first rounder and then it sounds like there's other picks involved going both ways.

Good trade for both parties.

Bold of EDC to start planning for an NFL where Tom Brady has finally retired.
