There seem to be a lot more of these trades for a player a team apparently just doesn't care much about for a few spots in the draft order this year. Am I imagining that? I guess a lot means 2, but I don't remember these things happening at all before.

The Puppy Bowl posted:I can't get over how dumb it is to trade away a legit shot as the best defensive line in football to turn a late 3rd round pick into a mid 3rd round pick. By typical NFL trade logic you can add a round for every year out a pick is. So if you buy into that you're trading a mid 3rd for a late 4th in 2017 pick value. I'm sure that helps a lot.

I think it's possible Cutler just has an idea of what he wants to be paid that teams don't like. And he's done enough that if people aren't going to meet his demands he'll just walk away.

Watching You Don't Know Bo again and I just noticed that Marcus Allen, one of the best short yardage runners in history, was Bo's fullback when he ran over Bosworth. I know that happened a bunch with those Raiders teams but I never noticed him on replays of that play for some reason until now.

MY NIGGA D-LINK posted:Yeah but back then, the Steelers ran the ball on every single down, and everyone knew that Bettis was getting the ball on 1st, 2nd and 3rd and short. So yeah, low YPC, but he still took QB-less teams to the playoffs almost every year. And that is why you are all wrong complaining about Bettis I don't think he's quite a hall of famer but yeah, Bettis was the definition of a workhorse back earlier in his career. I mean, it's probably a big part of why he was so underwhelming at the end.

MY NIGGA D-LINK posted:I always have a hard time squaring just exactly what HoF voters take into account in their votes (much like everyone else), but it clearly isn't entirely about stats. Bettis is famous even to casual football fans, and was still the 5th all-time leading rusher when he retired. Every back that's retired in the top 10 in the modern era has gotten into the hall I don't think that's quite true, I believe Ottis Anderson would have been #8 when he retired in 1992. It's probably a good way to avoid the hall by having your best years on the Cardinals too. You're mostly right though, he might be the only one in the modern game. e: Interesting that he's all the way down to 28 now, since 1992 we've gone through a bunch of great feature backs and then gone to most teams being RB by committee.

a neat cape posted:I think he's one of the top 2 or 3 all around backs of all time. There are a few RBs that did certain things better than Tomlinson, like Barry having better feet or Brown being a better downhill runner, but coming up with a list of names that did everything better than Tomlinson did is surprisingly difficult. Faulk seems like the go to comparison, but you can argue he wasn't the pure runner that LdT was.

Kalli posted:That's a shame. I remember at one point he got into a long fight or something at a phone store and was getting help because he was mentally ill but I guess that wasn't enough. Yeah I guess he left an inpatient mental health facility when he attacked someone that led to these charges. It's a really sad story and I have no clue how it could have been done differently aside from locking him away. Or preventing him from playing football if you believe his dad about concussions, but that's not really something for the courts to deal with at any point before he actually assaults people.

Oh hey remember that spring football league that may or may not actually play games? They apparently released their rosters. I guess they only have two teams?/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8312973/11.jpg) /cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8312975/22.jpg) Which one of Mason Hutson, McLeod Bethel-Thompson, David Ash Bitch or Ricky Stanzi will be murdered on the field by Greg Hardy? Kellen Winslow Jr. is the only other biggish name as far as I can tell.

It's the difference between tons of TNT and the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of tons. Oh agreed, but it's still the largest conventional bomb we have by quite a bit. Also we should move this discussion to the chat thread.

The only thing picking up the 5th year does is guarantee the contract against injury, so normally I'd just be like "yeah everyone should pick those up if the player has shown anything at all," odds are pretty good you can just cut a guy if you decide you don't want him. Watkins might be a case where I could understand not doing so. e: I mean I still think it would be dumb not to since Watkins can be real good if he ever does stay healthy, and it isn't really that much money. But I could at least understand why they didn't pick it up if they don't. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Apr 16, 2017 |
