- it is a shame that the options factor into a player being ready or not. - groiny Mar 12, 09:33 4
  - I have less problem with being blocked by options than being held back to effect Super Two status. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 12, 09:36 3
    - well, I am sure they play into the equation as well. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 12, 09:38 2

So, according to that metric ML posted on B2, Mariotta is the best of this year's QB class. -- nm - Inigo Mar 12, 09:26 6
- I like that the advancement of metrics causes people to understand just how inexact the draft process is. - David Mar 12, 10:03
- Yeah....although if we charted Winston's INT's as completions, he'd look far far far better numbers-wise. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 09:34 2
  - grandmother, wheels, car. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 09:54 1

- Like conservatives even believe in Trojans. - Will Hunting Mar 12, 09:37
