So the one quarterback he was ever successful with wasn't the guy he actually wanted, eh? Yeah - seems like he really knows how to pick 'em.

![]() I’m sure Veach liked Mahomes, but so did Ballard, Dorsey, and Reid. They would’ve traded up for him with or without Veach.

Apparently neither are other teams, since no one else had a first round grade on him. |

Veach also said Mahomes was the best player he’s ever seen at the combine after Mahomes had only started the meaningless week 17 game in Denver.

According to Romo he went to Dallas because they didn't have anyone who was an obvious long-term answer. It came down to Dallas and Denver because Shanahan and Payton played at Eastern Illinois so they already new him. The Broncos had just signed Jake Plummer to a seven year deal. He went to Dallas because Shanahan signed Jake Plummer - the end. So your old hero shit the bed in signing a lunatic and it cost him Tony Romo. Who, again, your new hero thought was better than Drew Brees. Because, y'know, they both played at the same podunk college. Yeah - really beat the !@#$ing bushes for that one, didn't he?

"Lets see - I have two coaches trying to sign me because they're the only other relevant thing to come out of this worthless little school I play for. One of them has Quincy Carter under center, who's thrown 12 TDs to 15 INTs in 15 career starts with a passer rating below 70. The other just gave a 7 year deal to a new quarterback..."
Decisions, decisions... Had Tony Romo played at UT-Martin, Sean Payton never knows his name. This is just so ridiculous.

Veach has been given the majority of the credit for Mahomes from the Chiefs along with Texas Tech and Mahomes' camp. Veach came out and publicly called Mahomes the best player he's ever seen with just one meaningless regular season game on his resume. Not to mention if anybody had any idea Romo would be that good, they don't go the entire draft without taking a flier on him. So yea, not remotely comparable in terms of the amount of credit they should be given. |

He wasn't calling him the best player he's ever seen because of TC and a single meaningless week 17 game against the Broncos. That's coming from his scouting of the player. |

There is no way the Rams would actually plan on going from Stafford to Nix.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rams had Nix on their board, but he clearly wasn’t high on it. If they truly loved him they would have tried to trade up for him. They probably had Nix graded as a 2nd rd pick like every other team but Denver while taking him in late rd 1 where the projections began for him.

Yeah I doubt Sean McVay moved his limited QB to Detroit so he could turnaround and draft another limited QB like him 3 years later ![]()
