NFL 2018

[Deleted member 18645]

Last seen under-achieving in the CFL and then the short-lived AAFC. Almost as big a joke first round pick as when Tim Tebow got drafted. A friend of mine scouted him and described him as having the worst throwing mechanics he had ever seen. He got away with it in college because he ran the ball so much but was just a disaster in the NFL.

For my sins I got to see JaMarcus Russell play in the flesh, now there's the definition of a massive QB disaster in every sense of the word

He had more flesh than most ......

Kyler Murray, No 1 draft choice. Is he that good.

@Sharkie - Is this guy also a MLB player too? Is he doing both or packed one in?

He was drafted by the Oakland A's in the 1st round of the 2018 draft. Baseball is a lot different in that it takes a few years through the minor leagues to reach the majors. It was a strange pick at the time and he was allowed to go back to college to play the 2018 football season. Now he has chosen football, he will have to return his signing bonus he received from the As and his baseball career will be over before it started.

As a Cards fan, should I be excited by the drafting of Murray?
Rosen was our round 1 last year and now they've gone and replaced him.
It will be interesting to see how that pans out.
Is Murray that much of an upgrade on Rosen?
With the terrible O line last year, you could put anyone at QB and they would struggle.

Well that’s not a bad way to start on your first carry

Dont think he can get one this year. Good read up on the BBC

Good TD and best of luck to the fellow but 'Rugby Superstar' - really - has 2 England caps I think, hardly Richie McCaw

Bit of an oversell from the NFL?


What's happened to the giant Australian rugby player that was trying out in the NFL a year or two back?

This "British" guy is the 91st player on a 90-man roster. He's on an international roster exemption.

That score came right at the end of the first pre-season game where all the main starters are in for about five minutes tops. Total oversell by the NFL/BBC.

He's going the right way about it;
