Ex-Ducks NFL Status

[SuperDuck]

I didn't catch either game, but looking at box scores, it looks like Dillon Gabriel had a solid showing and Troy Franklin had a really good night with two TDs. Trikweze Bridges had a bunch of tackles for LA, but not sure if that means he gave up a bunch of catches.

Gabriel was solid but he also threw a pick-6 and had a fumble. Still not a bad first performance in NFL.

The pick 6 was garbage, and imho not on DG. Deion must have paid the TE to not catch the ball. S/. But it is on the te. At least knock the ball down.

Dillon frankly looked more than solid with how he operated the Offense and kept them on time and in rhythm. Just getting rid of the ball and into 3rd and very makeable is what he's been asked to do and I think sometimes the average fan doesn't understand how important that is for a rookie/young QB and how playing that way helps the OL in such a big way.

Stefanski was pretty clear in the post-game interview that the INT was the fault of the WR/TE messing the play up but its of course the primary thing everyone looks at or that he didn't throw a TD while Shedeur did. If you wanted to know which Offense looked more sustainable, right now it was with Dillon but its probably also Flacco who will start the season for Cleveland, but I think Dillon will earn the QB2 spot. Long-term, he'll compete against next years 1st rounder for QB1 while Sanders is probably the biggest wildcard of those 3 options next year with how much he may develop. Trading Sanders to Dallas or either NY team is probably the prudent move for the GM to make because you can probably get more than the 5th they spent on him.

Unless Dart gets hurt or starts seeing ghost out there, and the NY media eats him up. I don’t see the Giants trading for Sanders.

Yup, Dart has looked pretty good, and might be in the same position as whichever rookie gets the backup spot in Cleveland. He'll get his chance to start next season, but this year will be spent learning the speed of the nfl.

DG ahead of Sanders on newly-released 'unofficial depth chart'.

A lot of those guys are going to be on practice squads or cut soon, so I would wait on the pinned post.

It’s on the first post now.

Don’t think I would take credit for any transfers that left UO. Same as I wouldn’t give Auburn credit for Nix

[StevensTechU]

Another Duck who finished their college career elsewhere, Bradyn Swinson is with the Patriots. Dont'e Thornton is with the Raiders and Tyler Shough is with the Saints. We'll see who shakes out on active rosters, practice squads and cut altogether.

Shough is in a competition to start possibly. Donte still has brutal drops and doesn’t run a complete route tree. Swinson was solid for LSU. Just wasn’t a guy that fit Dans D though

DG showing why the coaches put him ahead of Shedeur on the depth chart. Are they really going to keep four QB's?
