The low cost is so that an wealthy person might consider simply paying it imo, if they happen to be both guilty and gullible. They probably send tons of these out to prominent people and hope to hit on just a few

That same reddit poster who broke the Edelman PED story before it came out in the media said something big is coming, but I'm not holding my breath. Although it'd be really funny if Gronk was traded and then said it was because he hates playing for Belichik and it isn't fun. Pats homers gonna be talking about how Gronk always sucked and doesn't have a winning attitude

Amy Pole Her posted:Cleveland i love every move they made minus that CB over Chubb. I know Cleveland likes that pass rusher they have next to Myles Garrett, who was injured last year, but Chubb would’ve immediately improved their secondary because you have 2 top top tier pass rushers, 1 pretty good one, and two very good DTs They made that decisions because they felt that the reason Garrett and the others didn't get home more often was that the secondary play sucked so bad that someone was always open for a pressured quarterback. I feel like that pick was definitely a bit high and I would've gone for Chubb but at the very least there was some thought behind it. The real question imo is gonna be Baker. They took him over every other QB in the draft so if those other guys start showing out and Baker struggles that decision could become famous as another enormous drafting fuckup by the Browns

Yeah Ward's already practicing with the first team, they're putting a lot on him.Ches Neckbeard posted:The theoretical trade back talk at #4 is dumb. If you view Ward as a future shutdown corner and trade back do you KNOW for sure he's going to be where ever you fall back to or do you move on your guy? Yeah I agree, and although Chubb was the best pass rusher in the draft he wasn't an absolute, no joke instant stud. At least there's a clear strategy and it makes sense in the context of the team's strengths and weaknesses. If any decision really comes back to bite them it's gonna be at QB I think. Even though I like Mayfield there's no doubt he's a gamble and that was a really ballsy choice which they'll be blamed for if it doesn't work out god dammit when does the season start

Yeah he wasn't really expected to be nearly so good and also was expected to sit behind a couple other guys for a while, but Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington both went down pretty early in his first season. He was a third rounder so not an awful contract but nothing near RB1 money. He's already been hurt badly and also that he's expected to shoulder a huge burden of carries this season; he could very well be ruined before he even gets his first real contract. So this is a smart move for him imo. If the team is going to ride you hard then they need to pay you accordingly

I'm starting to get this sinking feeling that Luck may essentially be done for good. Saying he has a "little mental block" to throwing a regulation football, having been out of the sport for a long long time, and being on probably the worst roster in the NFL. I hope it's not true but at the point there's been so much bullshit thrown around about him that I'm starting to think this is really bad and that the mental and physical issues might have basically halved his talent

Durandal1707 posted:Not even the worst Colts QB trajectory in their history tbh. But yeah, it's pretty bad. See but this is worse than just overdrafting a crap qb who continues to be crap. That happens, and the guy was poo poo anyways so there's no actual tragedy. With Luck, the bad part is how much lost potential he represents. From a bona fide instant star who many thought had the potential to become one of the best in history, to a guy so injured and PTSD-laden that he's too scared to throw a regulation football. It's a goddamn crime and someone needs to be punished for it

Durandal1707 posted:I get ya. The reason why I mentioned the Colts aside for Luck is because they used to have a QB named Bert Jones, who they squandered pretty badly. Jones was a very talented and athletic passer for his era - to the point where Belichick said he was the most talented pure passer he'd ever seen - but the Colts never got over the top because his teams played in the 70's, when the Steelers were at the height of their dynasty and they also had to compete against excellent Raiders and Dolphins teams. Then he tore his shoulder up in 1978 and he was never the same QB again. There's some definite differences because of the eras they played in and the relative quality of the rosters each QB had, but the point is that the Colts look like they've squandered Luck as much as they did Jones. Got it, I don't know much about 70s football but sounds like it's a pretty similar situation. I think, for the team/coaching staff/front office to be blamed, one requirement is a stubborn refusal to upgrade the offensive line and protect their star quarterback. I think Luck seemed so amazing that they thought he could do without using his scrambling abilities. And now here we are. CyberPingu posted:Luck isnt starting a game this season This is far more likely than him balling out. I'm of the opinion that they might try and put him on the field and he's gonna be awful. Injured, slow and scared. If he's too scared to throw a football in practice how is he going to respond to a defensive line getting after his rear end?

Yeah I'm really not seeing it. Hoyer's no superstar but he's good enough to play in the NFL, score points and sometimes even win games. Hack should count himself lucky that he made any money at all from the NFL and just call it quits. Although I do love the idea of him playing in a game when two QBs go down and then things get out of control, players on the sidelines, coaches, referees, security guards all getting punished in the stones by errant Hack throws Play fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jun 14, 2018 |

kiimo posted:The most pessimistic people in KC, and there are a lot of them, keep trying to find reasons to slow the hype train on Mahomes. So far all we got is "his passes can sail on him if he throws too hard". It's still his rookie season and he's going to make mistakes, maybe a lot of mistakes. At this point he's a great dude to hang a franchise on and has a lot of promise but overall it's a good idea to temper expectations for his first season. Whatever happens, Chiefs games are going to be must-watch football and I expect a lot of scoring on both sides.

Actually the closest thing to a great rushing trio last season, stretching the interpretation a little bit, would be Cam Newton, Jonathan Stewart and Christian McCaffery who combined for 1,869 yards (with Latavius Murray, Jerrick McKinnon and Dalvin Cook close behind although that situation is different due to the injury). The Eagles trio combined for about 1500 yards rushing which definitely isn't bad, but it makes sense that trios are only really a thing when you don't have a superstar runner. Keeping three excellent runners on the payroll doesn't make sense so running back by committee happens more when there's a lack of really top notch talent. The likeliest situation where I can see that happening is a team with a talented veteran RB who then drafts two different backs (hoping to hit on one) and then hit on both. Otherwise, there's really no reason to spread the ball around extensively beyond the the team's primary and secondary back. Play fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Jun 20, 2018 |

I was a huge fan of the first two seasons, they captured some exciting football but more than that it really laid bare how lives are both uplifted and destroyed by the American football machine. I loving hated Buddy Stevens especially in the second season, a horrible coach who didn't give a poo poo about any of his players so I'm eager to see how they can do with a new cast.

The whole system encourages bootlicking so only the really insanely talented guys can get away with criticizing any part of the nonsense.

I bet this dude has plenty of bullshit calls but his decisions in the super bowl were legit. Ertz was clearly a runner, Clement never lost control of the ball at any moment, but lots of refs would've relished a chance to call it differently. With all the other lovely stuff going on in this country another Pats super bowl win would've driven me completely insane
