2019 NFL Free Agency

[Phaded]

Disagree ... Carr has a much better arm and is more athletic. My main concerns with him are 1) Gruden and 2) his confidence after being pummeled the last few years.

Oh boy, here we go.
How so?

Ok I’ll bite:

Carr: https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/derek-carr/

Dalton: https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/andy-dalton/

Carr is superior in speed & burst ... tied in agility. Carr has superior completion % in every area except Red Zone (which probably speak more to his receivers & judgement moreso than accuracy).

As for arm strength, I couldn’t find velocity data on Carr (not even sure that throw velocity is the best metric) but Dalton’s velocity is 59th percentile. Eye test suggests he has a stronger arm as well as qualitative stories such as this: https://raiderswire.usatoday.com/2016/1 ... nnnnnnnng/

It is a good thing that Carr uses that alleged athleticism to get some rushing yards - certainly more than Andy Dalton..
Oh, wait. Derek Carr's highest rushing total in a year is 138; a mark Dalton has surpassed five times. Carr has never eclipsed 100 yards aside from that one year. Dalton only failed to hit 100 each of the last two years; when he literally hit 99.

Unless you are literally just going to go off playerprofiler; a completely subjective study which has no real football tape analysis involved.

I also have no idea what completion percentage has to do with athleticism.

I never brought up running ... I said he was more athletic. Neither one of these are running QBs, so citing their rushing yards is irrelevant. Up until last year, Carr had a better o-line than Dalton which is likely why he ran more often ... neither one run on planned calls.

I cited their accuracy to make the point Carr has a better arm.

I am a little confused how Player Profiler is subjective when it uses data to establish performance metrics

Bortles has been released. Lets see where he lands.

[grandmabetty]

Let's keep this thread about free agents. Take the boring carr talk elsewhere. He sucks. End of story.

Ajayi getting a physical/meeting with the Colts. For Ajayi owners where he practically has no value right now, if he lands in Indy you have to be happy

I guess getting any job is better than nothing, but damn, that has RBBC written all over it.

Marlon Mack is the far superior runner at this stage. I think Ajayi may be more of a depth add at this point. Mack was very good last year, and Hines as the 3rd down back was as well. I think he may compete for Wilkins for the 3rd RB spot, but I don't see Ajayi as much more then a backup at this point.

Cautiously optimistic about Mike Mayock/Gruden combo. They have added 2 starting caliber WR's, one being elite, and a a really good safety, and OT. Still have all of their premier picks in the draft. The Raiders have really added some good pieces over the last week. I suspect a Defense heavy draft, with 4 picks in the top 35.

Moncreif to the Steelers. Either a wonderful sell high opportunity, or should we buy for a late 2nd and hope for a 5th year breakout??

I like this for Conner more than anyone. Any fast, big bodied WR that can keep the safeties out just a little bit.

Phillip Dorsett back to the Patriots on a 1 year deal, financials not disclosed yet.

Apparently Dorsett had interest from TB, Seattle, NYG and Houston, but chose to return to NE.

Free agent WRs are getting thin. Tate, Cobb, Garcon, Crabtree, Kearse.....

[Pac_Eddy]

I am eager to see where Golden Tate lands. He looked really good in Detroit, not so much in Philly, but I think he still has a few years of solid production left. Needs to land with a decent QB though. He's not going to elevate a bad QB like Eli Manning.

I would be shocked if it is not the Pats.

[Orenthal Shames]

Man, I was hoping Demetrius Harris would land in a primo spot. Goes from stuck behind Kelce to stuck behind Njoku. Oh what could've been.

Me too. Although I wouldn't put it past the Browns to trade Njoku for help elsewhere. Crazy things have happened. (See: OBJ)
