I liked the Martin kid, looked good. Im hoping its Betcher. I hope he is saying look these players here cant help us. Ive had a top 5 defense for years and I need these type of players. Here is my list of whom is out there. Go get them. I hope. Bettcher's defensive ranks as a D-Coord: 2015 Pts: 7th Yrd: 5th 2016: Pts: 14th Yrd: 2nd 2017: Pts: 19th Yrd: 6th I'm not seeing this "I've had a top 5 defense for years" thing.

Mayfield was my choice... Would like to stay in Fantasy land and claim the Giants were going to select him but the Browns surprised everyone.. Rosen is a crystal diva and his career will prove that out. Mayfield has been far better in preseason than I expected, but I remain in the "show me" category.
I do think Darnold, Allen and even possibly Jackson and Rudolph will do better than Rosen/Heisman.
Rosen was also mt least favorite of them.. He was a diva like you said but also an injury waiting to happen..

More divas....Johnny Maziel and Ryan Leaf. This is a really silly path to travel. There is little correlation between "diva" and success or the lack thereof.

I don’t know how SI is calculating that ranking. For yards they were 5th, 2nd and 6th for that three year span. Even if you used that flawed stat you still come up with 4.3 as the mean. But this is just nitpicking at this point.

There is little correlation between "diva" and success or the lack thereof. I believe there is in certain markets and NY is one of those markets...

I believe there is in certain markets and NY is one of those markets... Belief is the acceptance of a truth not supported by reality. Lawrence Taylor had significant success in New York. He was a diva, didn't work at his craft in the off season. Was unreliable in meetings. Dogged it on the practice field. Operated in a manner which suggested that he felt rules did not apply to him. Keyshawn Johnson was a diva in the NY market. Tiki Barber was a diva in the NY market.

I must admit that you really disappointed me because you didn't include the current diva on the team... You really need to work on that if you're going to continue to hold people to their beliefs as a false reality.. Enjoy the season!!

"crystal diva" as in fragile and he'll lose both the media and the locker room he was not well liked at UCLA and it did affect the team's play

Throughout the NFL diva level in players is no indication of success or the lack of it, this includes NY.

I don't consider Beckham a Diva, not at all. Beckham's problem is he becomes volatile in the heat of the moment. His switch pushes to insane,not to Diva. I'd call him more an immature psychopath than a Diva. He has no issues off the field, his behavioral issues have strictly been getting on tilt in game situations. Especially when things start off not going well and the opponent verbally jabs him. He needs to let that stuff go moving forward. He's aware of it, but we need to see him remain calm if the team is down 14-3 in a game and he drops a big pass and the opposing DB calls him a queer or any word they feel will push him over the edge.

Nice. I wonder how many teams would sign Stewart to their practice squad let alone their roster.

Give me the playbook for a couple of days and I could know his play's and protection schemes too, should that earn me a roster spot?

I don't think they will give out the playbook to anyone but I believe in you man ...follow your dreams.

Didn't say if they released anyone from the PS to make room for him. I know there is a limit of 10 and last I checked they only had 8 or 9 guys. Also I think RB/ punt return man J. Pressley is on the PS?

Announcing your retirement in October during a tour you're taking to promote your book is pretty diva-esque to me.
