Codependent Poster posted:Allen also worries me because he's a big guy and when I watch the Bills it seems like he runs inside a lot and takes hits like a running back. I just get Luck flashbacks to how he rarely avoided contact and sometimes even sought it out. The homer perspective I have is that those inside runs occur maybe once or twice in a regular game; he's a bit more judicious about taking the bone crunching hits unless it's a big/close game. Cam is obviously the closest analog to Allen as a rusher and I'll just tell myself that the Panther's offensive staff was less cognizant on protecting Cam for the long-term. No easy way to quantify it as far as I know, so I can keep living this possible delusion for a while!

Diva Cupcake posted:I don't think we should take it too seriously. It's just the player's voting. What selection criteria would we need to treat it seriously? All-Pro gets dismissed as being just 50 sports writers, Pro Bowl has even worse issues with voting for buddies (since you can vote for teammates) and fan votes, etc. I guess it's maybe intrinsically impossible, but the selection process here seemed pretty carefully considered.

kiimo posted:Cam being the comp for Josh Allen completely minimizes Allen's ability as a pure passer. I meant purely as a rusher, Newton is the comp. But you can't take away Allen's rushing. I think Mahomes is the better quarterback and the better passer, but Allen's edge on the ground gives him the highest ceiling on a per game basis of basically anyone I've ever seen play. I just want to marvel at the football man doing things I've never seen another human being do before.

MJeff posted:Why would you give up resources for Carr when you could just wait until the Raiders cut him and get him for free? Because someone else might give up resources for him before he hits free agency.

Could the Raiders hold out for more draft assets by just eating the post-Super Bowl guaranteed money and trading him later?

A game they lost, to the Russell Wilson Broncos.

Yeah I don't know, I think the Lamar thing is weird. It starts as just an injury that's going to keep him out for a couple weeks and now Harbaugh is weird and testy and cryptic about it when talking to the media. Then Lamar makes a Twitter thread about his injury. Now Watkins is suggesting that Jackson is healthy enough to play but won't put himself at risk until he has a contract. Watkins believes in some weird poo poo but I doubt he's only the one in the building with that Jackson take. (And if true, I of course wouldn't blame Lamar one bit.)

Dungy's professional success as a broadcaster is mystifying. I don't know if I can think of another personality less suited for the role.

WalletBeef posted:I'll take Dungy over Collinsworth any time. Oh 100%, I still "prefer" Dungy over some number of other commentators. It's just that he's a benzo personified and that's so at odds with the type of traits you usually associate with "good broadcaster." Milquetoast rear end Brees got canned after one season but he's Ric Flair in comparison to Tony.

Love Al but he might just be better suited for calling horrible TNF matchups at this stage in his career. https://twitter.com/SharpFootball/status/1614476872729137152?s=20&t=9YTt6qbt7CAu_Vx9yYaZhg

Brb, going to spend decades officiating DIII and DII games in order to work myself up to the highest level in order periodically screw over players in the NFL from my school's rival alma mater in a not particularly consequential way.
