Anyway, I am done with the “can’t miss” debate because there will be no resolution and that conversation sucks. I do find humor in a “can’t miss” quarterback being the 4th quarterback taken off the board behind 6 non-quarterbacks though.

Guess you know more about playing QB than Troy Aikman.

Sounds like Troy had his UCLA colored glasses on. Also said it was “unfair” to compare Rosen to Jay Cutler. Lol

I don’t recall Leaf being a “can’t miss.” I remember GMs being tantalized by his upside. Ultimately Peyton Manning was deemed the more “can’t miss,” as he was picked first. As I remember it, it was the certainty of Manning vs the upside of Leaf.

Wonder what the guy who made that choice has to say about it?

"And Polian said while there is no such thing on draft day as a "can't miss'' player, and while the Colts emphasize production in the process, he said the importance of "measurable" data in selecting players is impossible to overestimate."

Credible people said that, yeah.

Troy Aikman IS credible regarding QB play, right?

Jay Cutler could do things with a football few men could ever do. Was he a “great” quarterback?

Credible enough. Not infallible.

You might actually be the worst debater I've ever interacted with.

The evidence you find valid shifts completely based on whether it supports or contradicts the shit you've been saying.

Well if Denver were so bad you’d think Mahomes could have done more than go for 1 TD and 3 INTs and a 1-1 record.

As I’ve had to tell PAMan multiple times, the NFL isn’t fucking college. It’s a week to week league.

It's a week-to-week league except when you play Denver, apparently.

Well you certainly didn't mind using something he said to try to invalidate MY opinion, but when he says something that didn't turn out true it's "well he's not infallible."  No shit.  No draft evaluation is infallible.  My exact fucking point, to a T.  Can't miss prospect is some shit you say LATER, when the guy DIDN'T miss.  The guys who get that said about them before the draft miss regularly - and then since they miss, you say "well they weren't can't miss prospects!".  It's recursive, laughable logic.

Credible people thought Josh Rosen was the best they'd ever seen at throwing the football.  Fact.

Mahomes had two shots and put up much worse numbers than Fields. Is what it is.

And here is where you have it dead wrong. I wasn’t trying to INVALIDATE your opinion. I was trying to validate opinions that disagree with yours.

So is Denver a good passing defense?

If you start typing anything other than "yes" or "no", stop.  It's a yes or no question.

You were pretty transparently appealing to Troy Aikman's authority as a former QB to try to invalidate mine.  You even gave the snarky "and I think he knows a little bit about playing QB" line.

No, I’ve said multiple times over the last few days that I get the case against Fields and why they’d move on. I just disagree with it.
