    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    Drake Maye - 63% completion on 8.7 air yds/attempt JJ McCarthy - 72% completion on 9.8 air yds/attempt Penix - 65% completion on 9.2 air yds/attempt. Also interesting in that the measurement of how much "zip" a QB has on the ball, which throw air time plus/minus avg per distance was first in...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    There’s reason to be leery of any QB getting drafted. But playing for a conservative coach on a team that didn’t need to score a bunch doesn’t change the fact that in a lot of critical measurements he was elite, particularly accuracy when under pressure, third and long performance, etc. I love...

    Does every fanbase overhype their potential draft picks?

    Wait, your example of an overhyped draft pick is Kirby Vander Kamp? Who on earth was hyping him as a draft pick? Did someone think like 10 punters were going to get drafted that year?

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    Things could play out differently, but as of now the QB class next year is projected to be very weak. Daniels made a huge jump last year, so maybe others will, but getting McCarthy at 10 for a low cost, that’s a better bet than what they would probably get next year if current projections hold up.

    ***2024 NFL Draft***

    Rams draft very well. Maybe the best at getting value given where they pick over the past few years.

    ***2024 NFL Draft***

    And that trade was swapping a guy that was a quarter from winning a SB they drafted. And to do it they shuffled the cap to go all in on one year and it worked for them. But rarely does it, and teams end up mortgaging future years in cap hell.

    ***2024 NFL Draft***

    Drafting a QB has a hell of a lot better success rate than free agency. The latter doesn’t really work. Hell, unless a QB you draft is pretty much looking like he could be a hall of famer, signing him to his second contract doesn’t really work. And plenty of teams have wasted picks doing the...

    ISU baseball team

    I'm sure of that. I'm guessing they'd be somewhere like a D-2 or D-3. My guess is a lot of players that could've played D2 or D3 and opted to just go to school and got the itch to play. Hell, when ISU had a scholarship baseball team we got trucked by conference schools.

    ISU baseball team

    Any idea what about an equivalent talent level is? I would suspect it is still pretty good. Unlike FB or BB, most D1 scholarships are partial and lots PWO. There are probably a lot of damn good baseball players that just end up hanging it up and going to school that might find this attractive.

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    I think the rules and the way the game is officiated has killed this approach. I used to love the fact that all different styles could win. You’d get some great clashes of styles, like the Warner Rams vs the Buccaneers. It’s just so hard to defend current offenses without getting a few Paid...

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    That doesn't work. You win a SB one of three ways: - Have a good QB on a rookie deal that allows you to have a great roster around him - Have a franchise QB on a big contract but shuffle things around to have a 1-2 year window to go all in by mortgaging future years, where you'll be in cap hell...

    Joshua Jefferson has committed to Iowa State

    The reason TJ is great is because this idea doesn't exist to him. You don't change anything in your approach unless you find it isn't working.

    Kayden Fish will return, fills Iowa State's 13th scholarship spot

    This made me laugh. Well done.

    So what’s up with UNI?

    Same problem that goes back to our ******* legislature that voted down having funding follow in-state students. That would solve UNIs budget problems. But since it hurts University of Iowa, our legislature prefers to subsidize suburban Chicago kids going to U of I.

    So what’s up with UNI?

    The Wichita State, Creighton and peak UNI days are hard to imagine now. Some of this is just the broader transfer and NIL impact on non-P6 teams.

    Joshua Jefferson has committed to Iowa State

    Hadley always seemed like an odd fit on the ISU roster. I thought he would've added talented depth on the team, but in crowded role.

    Joshua Jefferson has committed to Iowa State

    I'm not sure if Jefferson/Jackson can be better defensively than our frontcourt last year, but it will be close, if not better, and probably a step up offensively. Jefferson was a dominant defender on a St. Mary's team that was really good defensively. And based on their style and pace...

    Much preferred Jefferson to Hadley. Much better fit and need. Really exactly what the doctor ordered.

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    As a Fr and Soph he threw 45 TDs to players other than Mike Evans. Obviously Evans was a huge part of his success, but all these guys have great players around them that are usually dominant vs. the competition most week. Hell, the question about Jefferson coming into the draft was whether or...
