Speaking of Clowney, I got the sense that the author of this piece was typing one-handed

lol. last half of the last sentence really takes that from "gay subtext" to "erotic fiction".

At least he tried to warn readers in advance that this was going this direction

There are a few former scouts on Twitter who have said Bridgewater would be ranked only behind Luck in terms of prospect

Not going to pretend I know much about scouting, but here are some tiers of potential #1 overall picks as I see it

1: Locks, GOAT potential: Elway, P. Manning, Luck
2A: Franchise QB locks, all-pro potential: Palmer, E. Manning, Griffin III
2B: Lower floor than 2A guys but higher ceiling: Newton, Vick

I haven't thought through every #1 overall pick, those are just the examples I have. There are tiers of other guys that go #1 overall, too (or #2 in a similarly loaded draft). Ryan Leaf might have been a 2B guy. I think Bridgewater is a 2A guy.

And of course the Colts got to draft all the tier 1 guys.

[Clowney] has muscles from his toes to the top of his scalp. He is rock-solid, especially in his thighs, hamstrings and butt—the nuclear reactor for a pass rusher. He is power personified, with oversized, strapping arms and enormous hands capable of doing with an offensive player whatever he wishes. His rock-hard pecs yearn to be gnawed on, while the sight of his nether-region induces a rusty trombone which I won't soon forget. His seed tastes like the tea they serve at Canton, which should surprise no one.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame or the Chinese city?

Time to leave this friend to the wolves

that's racist

I'd feel a lot better about Teddy if he was 6'3" and 220 instead of 6'3" and 196. I'd be worried he'll break in half on a corner blitz. He's shockingly skinny.

At least I didn't put Cam, RG3, Vick, and Teddy in their own separate-but-equal tier

Mike Glennon is still standing.

fantastic

It should be trivially easy to go from 196 to 220 on a 6'3" frame. I wouldn't worry about that.

KC at #3 is an...interesting ranking.

Definitely the worst ranking of the week.

Colts turning into a depressing vortex of suck is unfortunate

Yeah I can't see a worse one. Carolina 8 looks like an overreaction to one loss too in all likelihood, unless someone quietly didn't buy them to begin with.

8. Ravens tho.

I sorted by point differential, KC came up 3.

Pats too high

Seems weird that some people apparently hopped off the 1. sea wagon and back onto the 1. den wagon just bc sea lost on the road to the 3rd ranked team.

pretty much the same as when people moved denver down for losing @NE. people get bored and want to "react" to the most recent games i guess.

also for those of you who like to LOL inpredictible, our 3-7, and 9 are now identical, with 1 and 2 flipped.

SE is really underrating detroit. their problems are almost 100% turnover-based, which aren't nearly as predictive as people like to think.
