WHOOPS posted:I don't think it changes he cap hit at all - either way, any cash paid to Romo that hasn't yet been accounted for in the salary cap (e.g., prorated signing bonus) accelerates to this year. It changes the cap hit in that they'll designate him a June 1 cut, spreading his hit over this year and next. This will then lead to idiots saying that they 'should have taken the hit all at once and gotten it over with,' because they don't know/remember that unused cap carries over. e: Also, Romo was a great guy and part of it was that he was more than willing to say things like this, that drive idiot fans into a frothing rage: quote:Back in 2008, Romo lost a Week 17 game to Eagles that knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs. Afterward, he told the press, “If this is the worst thing that will ever happen to me, then I’ve lived a pretty good life.” TheChirurgeon fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Apr 4, 2017 |

Sataere posted:I have always found that logic inherently flawed. The value of the future pick should be based on the strength of the draft class. If I trade for a future second round pick and that class has 60 players projected to have a first round grade, is that pick really only worth a third? Enh; it's partly flawed. Yes, theoretically a 1st-round pick should have the same value any year, but the uncertainty tied to next year's pick--both in terms of placement in the draft and the quality of players available--does make it *slightly* less desirable. Though if I were making those decisions, I'd probably dock it something like a third of a round in value rather than a full round.

Volkerball posted:The top 60 a year before the draft looks completely different than it does on draft day. It's a crapshoot to be like oh yeah the draft two years from now looks really deep. Plus, you also know way more about your team now than you do about your team next year, which further complicates things. Even if next year's draft is super-deep on Defensive Ends, you may not need one then.

Spring Break My Heart posted:That Ringer drafting a QB article is amazingly bad. Jesus, you weren't kidding. I believe the dude actually included "body language" just to poo poo on Cutler. As always, it's worth reposting Parcells' rules for drafting a QB, which actually still hold up very well: quote:1. He must be a senior, because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback.

Iodised QQ posted:This played a bit more of a factor than I think some people realize. Those 2011 or 2012 Eagles that had nnamdi and drc yet still could not defend the pass were one of the biggest failures I've ever seen. Nnamdi had some bigger issues, but I'll agree on DCs. I'm coming around to the notion that "Defensive Coordinator" is the second-most important position on a team behind QB.

Bad outcome for sports science, unfortunately.

sean10mm posted:Wasn't DVOA like hilariously overrating the Eagles for most of the season, before gradually "correcting" to have the Patriots at #1? It's not some mystery--the Eagles had a hot start that included a blowout win over PIttsburgh, while the Patriots were missing Tom Brady for 4 games. Once the season got to the point that those games were weighted less and the Eagles had started dropping games, things shook out more like you'd expect. DVOA weighs later games more heavily, it's not a manual correction that happens.

The Puppy Bowl posted:Thomas is a legit hall of famer but who knows if he'll get the consideration. rings don't really matter as much for linemen. The fact that he's made the Pro Bowl every year of his career and a 7-time first-team all-pro is a big push in his favor, though.

SKULL.GIF posted:Is it? It's a more accurate signal of longevity and consistency than games started, though, since he's playing on every single offensive play in every single game across that span. He's not taking plays off to rest or whatever. It may be a signifier of longevity, but it signals poor backups/depth as much as consistency, and it also signals never being on a team that could rest its starters for the playoffs. It's neat, but I think it's in the same area of accomplishments as carries for a running back. games started is also not great, for similar reasons.

SHOAH NUFF posted:Consecutive snaps is really impressive, because injuries in the NFL are very common and players of all positions frequently miss games. Volkerball posted:O lineman are the last to get rested, and great ones are expected to play every snap, regardless of depth. It's really impressive. Thomas will probably be first ballot. I agree he's a first-ballot HOFer but that's because he's been a first-team all pro 6 times and has nothing to do with snaps. Consecutive snaps tells me that he was just as lucky as he was good. The number of pro bowls is also a huge factor, but once a player has made a few pro bowls, it probably gets easier to make them, especially for positions like OL where it's harder to judge performance. Plus I mean come on, it's neat but it's not like you'd give a poo poo if Joe Thomas missed a snap or two in there because he lost a shoe or had to get looked at on the sidelines. He'd still be one of the best offensive linemen of all time.
