Yeah, I'm not surprised at all. Pavia doesn't have NFL measurables and he's a headcase.
Having a kicker with the last name Smack is either going to be a disaster or he's a future Hall of Famer.
Curving to the left, and the kick smacks the upright!
It's particularly telling that NFL teams apparently aren't in a hurry to sign the guy as a free agent. Usually you start hearing about potential signings within a couple hours after the draft ends because the high-priority players tend to get some pretty decent offers from 3 or 4 teams right away. So far, with Pavia it's been nothing. Apparently he didn't even hire an agent, so he doesn't have anyone with a steady hand to advocate for him, either.
Also NFL pressure made ESPN cancel Playmakers. It has nothing to do with Vrabel but I'm still pissed about it.
He didn't have an agent for NIL money, but he's got one for the NFL. The "no agent" meme is the media running wild because he dared to question the utility of agents in a Gruden interview.
Yeah. Couldn't even make Mr. Irrelevant even after Gruden talked him up.
When the browns would rather have Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel doing a Backup QB battle in Cleveland, you know it's bad. Then again, the browns faithful would likely make his life hell after the Johnny Football Experience.
Along the other things mentioned here, this year felt like a year where a lot of teams didn't need a QB. And a bigger issue is that they especially don't need a backup or practice team one either.
Your days are numbered, Lamar!
Being a QB in the league has always been difficult, but QB quality has gone to complete shit since the absolute marination of shotgun RPO/Air Raid offenses in the sport. That's pretty much the only playbook anyone runs from the pee-wee level on up now, and the result is that the vast majority of these guys are just glorified single-wing tailbacks. Put them in the league with more complex defenses, and they simply can't process the formations because they've never been asked to do so.
I'm not exactly rooting for it to happen, but it would be really, really funny if what ultimately got Lamar benched was him pulling a hammy or something and uber-Russell Wilson with attitude problems went on a hot streak
Its almost a reality. Snoop Huntley was outperforming the fucker last season. It was like he pulled a Shang Tsung and snatched his soul
It's just gonna get worse because of NIL and the transfer portal. No reason to invest in developing a starting QB or installing a complicated offensive system when they can and will just leave.
The meltdown from Lamar's obnoxious fanbase is gonna be something once that happens.
It might be within the next season or two, as well. Nearly every running QB has been effectively done on or shortly after they hit 30. Elway and Tarkenton are the exceptions, and that's because they quit trying to reflexively beat teams with their legs at that age, and figured out how to consistently throw from the pocket. Cam Newton was built like a fucking semi-truck and should have joined them, but he was a shell of himself at 29 and out of the league at 32.
