Phil Perry of CSNNE.com wonders aloud about how Derek Carr‘s new deal may impact Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. In short, Perry comes to right conclusion – not much. Both players were taken in the second round of the 2014 draft, but the similarities between the two players start to dwindle after that. Carr, of course, has proved himself as a starter. Garoppolo, on the other hand, has only impressed in a limited sample size. Unless Garoppolo winds up seeing significant time in 2016, Perry concludes, the Carr deal won’t really have an immediate impact on him. Earlier this month, Jimmy G indicated that he would be open to discussing an extension with New England.
Here’s more from the East divisions:
- The Cowboys‘ 2016 draft saw them land a franchise quarterback and an elite running back, but as with any draft, there were still potential misses. With that in mind, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News looked at the five players that the Cowboys likely regret passing on. The list starts with Eastern Kentucky defensive end, Noah Spence. Spence went No. 39 to the Bucs, five picks after Jaylon Smith, and made up for a slow start by finishing out with 5.5 sacks and three fumbles. Moore also lists defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (No. 69 overall, Jaguars), cornerback Tavon Young (No. 104 overall, Ravens), wide receiver/return specialist Tyreek Hill (No. 165 overall, Chiefs), and linebacker Corey James (No. 194 overall, Raiders) as missed opportunities.
- Over the weekend, one beat writer ran down seven players who could still be released by the Jets this summer.
- It sounds like wide receiver Brian Quick could be on the Redskins‘ roster bubble.
Meh, hard to draft a franchise QB in the 4th and an elite RB and kick yourself over those couple guys when you can look back and say that about any draft for all 32 teams. And especially when the Cowboys drafts have been so bad in years past.
They already get an A for getting Zeke and Dak. Add in what they got from Maliek Collins and Anthony Brown last season and it looks even better. If they are able to get Jaylon Smith back to his full potential and if Charles Tapper can bring some much needed pass rush, this will be considered one of the best draft classes ever.
Not to mention Spence and Hill had major off the field issues. The Cowboys didn’t want to go down that road after the Gregory pick the year before.
Yeah I was about to say it’s hard to kick yourself over a corner when you get Anthony Brown in the 6th and he plays really well
Garoppolo would have to discover time travel to get significant playing time in 2016
Poor Tony! In a blink of an eye. We hated to see him get injured. We all cringed and sighed. Now we just can’t wait to see the sophomore year of The Dak and Zeke show!!
Bye Mr. Romo!! Good luck with your new role!
But this here league is for grown folks son!!
Now enter Dak and Zeke…….as well as Dez, old man Witten, etc…
