I'll point out that this is another professional athlete with a heart condition and leave it at that.Comment

Even worse... statistically it's possible it may have increased... but due to Covid itself. I know personally of a case involving a teenager who acquired heart issues directly after Covid.
No vaccination in play. Medical journals had published on the correlation of Covid and heart complications well before the vaccine was available to the public.
So how do we now pretend to separate the cause?Comment

Thanks Garcia! 👍
It’s just one thing after another with KJ. It’s a shame because the trait that got him drafted so high (can run deep very fast and actually catch the ball) we’ve seen enough times to know it translates.Comment

Explosive slot target who hits the scales as a lightweight but could have heavyweight impact on games. Hamler's blazing speed is used solo and in route combinations to stress secondaries and create big plays. He had an alarming number of drops in 2019 and the routes are ragged, but his athleticism and separation burst on all three levels helps mitigate those concerns. He's a smallish slot who isn't built for the tough yardage and could have durability concerns if he's run into too many collisions. However, speed kills and his game-breaking potential on all three levels will be enticing as a high-risk, high-reward draft pick.

From his draft profile:

Yeah, I just recall his hands being one of the major reasons he was a terrible pick. Along with his size, injury issues, and being a luxury pick after taking Jeudy in the 1st. Just awful drafting.Comment

The whole idea that they were going to build this explosive offense around Drew Lock is so crazy in hindsight.Comment

Yeah. There have been exceptions (almost always with superior athletes) but I generally believe you’re going to see it immediately with a QB. They may not play well overall but you can see the traits that will eventually make them successful. Comfort level in the pocket is the big one for me. The guys who panic will still do that if you give them the 1997 Broncos line.Comment

He will probably get healthy then get picked up by kFc because Toney is out and become the new Eddie Kinnison.Comment

A QB with those attributes is normally a top 10 pick. But, he was just so unbelievably inconsistent, with a lot more bad than good, that’s why he fell to the 2nd round, and why he ultimately failed here.
He had the talent, I think the hope was with enough pieces he could turn the corner. Bad drafting didn’t help either, to swing twice in a draft absolutely loaded with receivers and miss both times is bad. Though, I still have hope for Jeudy.Comment

Jeudy would be getting Jerry Rice numbers if he had a QB that could hit I'm off his ankle breaking breaks with timing so the CB hasn't caught up...
Our QB makes him play like Sutton and have to bash through DBs to get the ball.Comment

He still leaves a lot of catches and yards on the field even with all that. He has some of the worst YAC instincts I’ve ever seen. Get upfield mother****er👍 1Comment
