CMSioux Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm using the Parise logic on Carson. When Zach was a Sioux Minnesota hated him now that he a Wild they love him. Sooooo ....now that Carson is an Eagle I can cheer for him as an Eagle's fan and just ignore what college he attended. (or laugh when the announcers say he attended "North Dakota"). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fontaine, Vanek, Haula, etc. Now I have no attachement to the Eagles, but I will definitely pull for Carson to have success. I've watched him play quite a bit, and he is a classy kid. Not to mention a kid from Bismarck going #2 overall is really cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defenses like the Broncos last year, the Ravens in 2000 and the Bears in 1985 only come around once in a great while. Most of the time, you need great QB play or you won't win jack squat in the NFL. Even the Giants needed good QB play from Phil Simms in the 1980's. Whether Wentz can deliver that for the Eagles remains to be seen, but I don't think Bradford was going to deliver what they needed at the QB position, so I don't blame them for trading up.

Schwartz will get them buttoned up on the defensive side. Wentz won't light it up downfield like Goff, at least initially, but he won't make mistakes and get you beat either. I see a Flacco-Ravens type scenario playing out there in the next few years. Will be exciting to watch. And he's on my draft board for fantasy backup QB to boot!

Son, you need to check up on your Super Bowl history prior to Denver's late 1990's win over Green Bay.

On one hand, you criticize a QB from FCS North Dakota State...and on the other hand, you knew a hoopster from Davidson was destined for NBA superstar status? And I might suggest that Denver's recent success stems from quality free-agent signings moreso than the NFL draft... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the mention of Warren Sapp's name reminds me that the Vikings passed up on a future Hall of Famer for a non-descript DT from Florida who did jack squat in the NFL. I just shut off my TV and went to Kraft Field to watch UND baseball; that is how p!ssed off I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's this for a stat, the last three FCS qbs who got drafted in the first round took their team to the super bowl. The kids a stud and it's pretty clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
