So what is he projecting as? A Roethlisberger/Leftwich type?

What the hell were u watching? Jameis was excellent all day today. 28 inch vertical and a 4.98 40 was "excellent"?

On paper, maybe, but this draft looks like one where five years from now, the most successful QB will be some 3rd or 4th rounder no one is talking about right now Based on? Just a hunch. I feel like Winston/Mariota will flame out while some lower round guy could step up

Honestly, I don't really care, because I find him annoying and terrible. He's the classic case of a station giving a producer his own show and it not working. Happens here all the time

It's like Walder Frey meets MLB /(h)Odor -

You're missing the point Did Little Jerry win?

scooped again. this is becoming your thing -
CBJ with 325 man games lost. [expletive] this season

What are park factors projected to do to the new OF's numbers? Can't be good, right?
-
Fair enough.

And ZIPS and PECOTA are always right

What I like about this board is that you can learn things without everyone turning smug and calling you an idiot.

No, not primarily. Having money now is simply more valuable than having the same amount of money in the future, even absent any inflation. If you have the money now, that means you have the ability to use it now. Being able to use money is better than being unable to use money. Hence, even without inflation, people would have to pay interest on borrowed money. But what about the $15m/year you can't use for the 7 years following the end of the contract? What's the negative impact of that?
-
He's not. The point that both of them are circling around is that it's better to have money now than the same amount of money in the future. If you pay a player x over 14 years instead of x over 7 years, you're paying the same amount of money in both cases, but you have the advantage of using it longer in the 14 year situation. Is that clear enough? If not, then I'll gladly pay you $1001 dollar in 10 years for $1000 today. That's a whole dollar of pure profit, so you should jump all over it. So it's an argument of inflation devaluing the dollar? Fair enough

Thinking that guaranteeing a 31 year old pitcher $210 million is a bad thing = meatball logic? Sure, okay You think it's worse to pay a guy 210M over 14 years than it is to pay him 210M over 7 years. Yes, that is dumb and meatball. Well I'm convinced How many times has this been discussed? You can't possibly have missed it every time. Getting $10 today is better than getting $10 in a year. Do you understand that? You can invest that $10 if you get it today and in a year, maybe you have $10.30. Now instead of $10 making you 20-30 cents in a year, think of $10m today making you $300,000 in a year. That's the most basic way to look at this. A 1%er like ssr can explain the details of how much more money $210m is if you get it over the next 7 years compared to how much it is if it's spread over the next 14. But it's a lot. If the dollars are the same, it's always better for the team to pay more later (ignore luxury tax issues, which are't a consideration for the nats). You seem to be arguing the exact opposite thing SSR is arguing

The Bulls aren't like the Spurs where they can coast because they've proven good enough to win a title. I will agree that this stretch of terrible basketball could easily be a blip, and the regular season is a bit of a meaningless exercise for a team like the Bulls, but Thibs wants to win every game, Rose wants to prove he is back, this team wants to win and right now they aren't There's clearly a lot for them to figure out before playoff time, I'm not refuting that. It's the idea that their records against other potential playoff opponents means [expletive] all

I can't believe anyone still takes the regular season that seriously.
