So Rams have home games Vs the West, Dallas, Giants, Packers, Chargers and Bills. One will be the MCG game.
I feel like the Chargers game makes sense. or a Seattle game since Seattle also have marketing rights for Australia.

9ers, Packers and Dallas would be high attendance and ticket prices for SoFi and not sure the NFL put one of them for the international game.

MCG game will be Dallas IMO

Stefanski dodged a bullet getting fired

 

[aussiedude]

Yeah but Sanders sells a heap of merch. Just forgot that he just had the worst stats a Browns QB has ever had in franchise history.

Mendoza drawing comparison to Davis Mills....is this correct? Havent seen a lick of Mendoza play

One of the dynasty guys I follow has this draft class for QBs worse than the Kenny Pickett one. Mendoza rated his #1 but only passes 7 of the 16 criteria he has in his model. (Need 10 to be considered good enough to become a career starter in the NFL)

Did Mills win the Heisman? I dont know much about him either but seems like an weird comparison.

These are always pretty funny (and interesting). You always wonder how many Brady would have passed under these guys criteria.

There will always be outliers of course. Not saying it's 100% accurate but if you're taking a guy #1 you'd hope for a higher rating.

Raiders trading back and picking up Kyler and addressing other needs wouldn't be a bad idea all things considered. Immediately lifts the floor, doesn't put a rookie behind a horrible OL to destroy his career. Can always draft a QB next year if things don't work out.

Smart idea. Who would you pair Kyler with (HC)? Kingsbury?

Think Kyler needs a fresh coach rather than a familiar face.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Todd Monken might be interesting given he just worked with Lamar.

 

[manureid]

Kyler?? FFS, no thanks.

Kyler or Davis Mills ?

Kyler or Davis Mills ?

Are those the only 2 QBs available in the league? I think we will want a Vet QB even if we draft one at Pick 1. Maybe Kirk will be available now.

I was being a smartass, cause GG compared Mendoza to Mills

Mills was a good prospect before he had a bad final year. well the Stanford OL fell apart from Michigan poaching players and injury. and the WR/TE room had a bad year.

I like Mendoza but i dont see 1 overall with him. He is a top character and leader, but its a weak QB class where he is the only good option

As a long time Cal Bears fan, I have followed Fernando's career closely - I have never considered him an NFL prospect before this year, and even after the year he had at Indiana I still think he is more likely to be US President than a Superbowl winning QB.

The guy is a born leader and has great business acumen.
