How is it "double dipping" to receive a retirement they paid into? What's next, are they going to offset IRAs and 401ks?

Because they want to make people think they are fighting against some 'welfare queen' stealing people's hard earned social security and punishing them for it, when it's just owners doing their best at divide and conquer.

I think he posted a thing about how Miami should trade up to no. 1 even if it means all 3 of their 1st round picks.

And this was the news the next day. I hope Miamj makes a move Phins posters are cool and I hope you get a cool QB.

yeah sure whatever okay

quote:

New York-based NFL writer Gary Myers reports the league still plans to play a full 16-game season.
Myers is also quick to point out that it’s admittedly early in the process and no such contingency plans have been discussed with teams. It's impossible to say where the league is headed given the ever-changing landscape of day-to-day living at this time, but the reality is that training camp remains the absolute best-case scenario for players to rejoin their teammates at facilities prior to the new league year. Considering Commissioner Roger Goodell moved forward with business as usual in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, it would not be shocking if the league continued to look the other way wherever possible and weigh the season over player safety.

Here’s what I posted in the draft thread the other say:


Ehud posted:

My Dolphins QB preferences:

1) Try to trade up to 1 for Burrow. I'm fine if it takes all three firsts.
2) Trade up to 3 for Tua.

There is no 3. I don't want any of these other QB's. I'm sick of being in QB purgatory. We traded away a bunch of assets to put ourselves in position to get a top QB. If we exit the draft with a lovely project QB then I'm going to be incredibly disappointed.

So yeah, I’m fine either way with a slight edge to Burrow over Tua.

I think they both kick rear end though.

IMO this sounds like the Dolphins floating rumors, probably to put pressure on Detroit for #3. Both times this rumor has come out it's from the same local media guy, and he's probably the prime candidate for the team to put out leaks through.

If Washington isn't trading, there seems like an incredibly strong impetus for a DET/MIA deal to get done and neither team really has much traction for leverage over each other on it. Threatening to trade with the Bengals for #1 is about the Dolphins only card they can play, and the precariousness of the Lions decision-makers is going to make the Dolphins bounty of 2020 picks much more desirable than other trade partners offering the same value in 2020/2021 picks.

Lions will still find a way to draft a TE 3rd overall.

Or a special teams jammer.

Or forget to turn in a pick like the Vikings did. Twice.

Do you think there is anything to the idea that the team is worried about taking Tua without being able to work him out or have the medical team get their hands on him?

Drafting Tua and using all the picks they have to upgrade the roster.

Instead of throwing them all at a 23 year old QB who had one outstanding year with a stacked team

Cmon dude, Joe Burrow is more than a one hit wonder. LSU wasn't so good that just anyone could've done what he did. I'm not sure anyone else could've, he may be a one year wonder but that year was an absolutely magnificent one where he hardly put a step wrong the whole time. Yes his physical traits aren't incredible but his mental traits and accuracy are through the roof. When you see a year like that I'm not sure what another year would really prove.

I think any team would be happy to get Burrow or Tua and the Dolphins checking in with the Bengals to see how sold they are on him sees like due diligence

The thing that I always struggle with when people talk about how loaded burrow's team was is it's implying that the team Tua had wasn't also absolutely stacked. I mean there was a very large percentage of the population who thought Clemson should be favored over LSU in the final. You could pretty convincingly make the argument that the level of opposition that Burrow played against is virtually unprecedented. Is Ohio state the only top 5 team the Tigers didn't play?
