  1. fun question is if this was available, would you rather have a) Caleb or b) Maye, Barton, Nubin, KJenkins (and maybe Egbuka later?)

  3. this is a fundamental problem badly hurting parity in the NFL is that there's less than a dozen difference maker QBs at a given time but you essentially need one (desperately) to be competitively relevant teams cope their way into believing David Carr & Daniel Jones types can be that guy and blow such a massive portion of the cap investing in that player and have to skimp on supporting cast which in turn usually spotlights their QB's weaknesses; similarly the effect of trading so many assets to secure that guy high in the draft Dak/Purdy/Russ on late-round rookie deals is such a salary cap cheat code really but not an easily repeatable recipe obviously
  4. what is this facebook boomer copypasta
  5. goal line fade is like 15-30% success these days so that's the math they should consider
  6. it's all predicated on "black-box-plane" logic, yeah the math on it – the conversion rate is 55% this year because teams often save their best gadget plays for the very rare instance they need to pull out a philly special or whatever "the math says go for it" is a flawed concept because it ignores too much context
  7. i've just seen people understandably confused about the decision to go for 2 after their last score which imo is pretty indefensible from TB's end if your play there is a goal-line fade
  8. it's so lucky for us that Szymborski seems pretty averse to the idea of working for an MLB organization
  9. at full strength i think probably not, but our best player's on academic suspension and there's not really a single functional backup PG to suitably fill in so we'll likely continue to lose all road games during Dug's absence i really miss the Beilein days
  10. when i saw Almonte rumors earlier i had to try to suppress the annoying urge to daydream on Busch's inclusion but Jed went ahead and did it for me
  11. i for one look forward to his Roy Kent studio commentary contributions
  12. i definitely agree with you guys and also think he should return for his senior year to bolster his draft status
  13. that was fun!
  14. idk those 2 guys have/had lightning quick processing the same favorable assessment of physical ability could have been made for Trey Lance for example but his elite playcaller opted instead for the middling tools guy that read the field better within the scheme
  15. ..i suppose that one was worth the 2-3 years off my life span it caused
  16. last 3 seasons he has the same OPS+ as Wisdom
  17. he's been plagued with shoulder problems his career there, i think with the parade of (healthy) 5-star WRs behind him he was probably politely informed he was likely being leapfrogged Dante Moore was a complete mess this year, he would most likely present an immediate downgrade for tOSU i think and thusly not really address their most pressing need right now
  18. sorry, they should have thought about that before their quarterback broke his leg and players fought through adversity to rise above! the outshined_ones simply need this rare opportunity to witness Alabama in the College Football Playoff or they won't give the TV their precious attention
  19. cool then just completely forego the season and schedule Michigan-Ohio State & Georgia-Bama and they get their precious ratings
  20. completely gutless cowardice from the committee, you wonder why did FSU bother to play their season and fight through adversity is it just forgotten 3rd string QB Cardale Jones won a title
  21. if a QB wants to ensure their own safety, don't wring every last inch out of your scrambles; it's simply not a reasonable ask to expect defenders to freeze their momentum or teleport around you and refs i think have gotten a bit better at not flagging every improper QB touch as late hit anymore
  22. i think the former is true but this is the counter argument sorta https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-marvin-harrison-jr-generational-talent-heisman-trophy-hype-premature
