Which is the biggest 2nd round waste:

Hackenberg?

Aguayo?

Brock trade?

$10m in cap space is far more valuable than either of those other two

Not really the same scale but remember when Josh McDaniels traded next year's first to draft Alphonso Smith and then the Seahawks used that pick to draft Earl Thomas?

Alphonso Smith got firesold to the Lions like a year or two later, and then he had just a horrific performance:

Edelman signed a 2 year $11m extension that gives him $9m guaranteed. So counting this year of his deal, 3 years, $15m.

Or what Tavon Austin is making this year alone.

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

Yeah, I saw a training camp report the other day that had all the Jets QB's being really terrible against air, but didn't think much of it.

But man, Hackenburg is probably just gonna get cut.

He's gonna single handedly get Mccagnin fired... Which would be justified.

Ches Neckbeard posted:

I know he was declared not competent to stand trial but care to elaborate? I'm genuinely curious.

I can't go into too much detail about how I know, I worked with him and some of his family in a program for people that make big mistakes here in Fort Wayne when he was still at IU.

The kid was being pulled in 100 different directions, big family, baby momma, all telling him what to do.

Then he started hearing voices and poo poo. Probably manic depressive at best, maybe schizophrenic. It got worse whenever he fought with the baby momma or as he was getting ready to head back to IU. I don't think he ever really loved football, basketball was more his thing and the pressure to live up to his potential in football really wore on him. He loved being part of a team though, I never saw him after he made it to the NFL, but I heard he didn't deal well with having it all come to an end.

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
Out of curiosity, I looked at CJ2K's career stats just to see how he compares to RBs that are potential HoFers. After looking at several players, and this is definitely some of the homer in me, but I can't get over just how incredible of a career Frank Gore has had in the NFL. He has 9 seasons of over 1k rushing yards, and his lowest yardage total was his Rookie year with 608 yards. His latest 1k+ season came last year, his 12TH SEASON in the league. Excluding his rookie year, he has had at least 200 rushing attempts in every year of his career which is a testament to his durability at a brutal position, while maintaining a career YPC of 4.4 over the span of nearly 3000 rushing attempts. Are there any other examples of a running back playing at this high of a level for over a decade?

I only saw the later years of Frank Gore (and also when he joined the Eagles on his way to their Ring of Honor) but it always looked like he wasn't the most physically talented back in the league and just somehow caused running lanes to open with his mind.

Frank Gore is great.

Emmitt Smith was like that for a decade.

Oh and Barry Sanders was greater than both of them for a decade.
