"YAY FOR BARD!!!
He didn't look perfect but I'll take it. The confidence is coming back.
f*** ALL OF YOU who don't have confidence in Bard's return."
redsoxbeatz, you there?
It's fine to use 2nd round picks on questionable QB's. If Barkley is available with Pats' second pick, they should take him. He's a guy that needs to sit for a year or two. Good character, good team leader.
Is HB projected as a nickel/slot corner? Arrington is fine in that role. His return skills wouldn't be used much since they have Washington and Edelman.
If he's around in the 3rd, I'd think about it.
He wasn't THAT bad. Give him a little break.
Bard was throwing 94-96 consistently. His FB was running in on RH's and got some swing and misses on balls out of the strike zone.
He definitely struggled with his slider.
It was a promising appearance and something to build upon.
I'm sure they'll have a few rough patches, but they're very solid. Vintage Bard and Tazawa would pile up K's. Uehara would come in for any jams. Bailey would close. Hanrahan would be gone? Probably get more for Bailey.
Need a LHP and long man. Run out of room somewhere.
