  1. Ah I see. The quote button doesn't show up on mobile version of the browser.
  2. Test [quote]split quote[/quote] Test [quote]split quote[/quote] Test
  3. Seems pretty solid just using a mobile browser (Chrome for me)
  4. So I cant really split a quote up now right? Like in the phbpp software if you're replying to a very long post you could manually split up the quote code to respond to different parts of post. Here looks like I can snip out but not manually add in multiple quotes. Does that question make sense?
  5. Yea I see no thumb. Most of what would be icons are boxes like [×] Saw someone edit so it exists, but I don't see it.
  6. Yay for archived threads returned to life. I've definitely grown in my assessment and more of a "everything is a sandwich" maximalist. Hot dog is a sandwich.
  7. Am I the only one that just has a bunch of x boxes and am wildly flailing, trying to figure out how to interact with posts? I don't see edits, likes, or anything like that. Figured out a quote though!
  8. Ope - that wasn't an edit. Do we have an edit button?
  9. I was actually able to find my way back to the site. It's weird here. Let's see how a bunch of old men adapt to change

  11. I've tried to make BVA take off, but it's never caught on! I can imagine someone's ASD brain not getting it right away, but it's incredible if Kyle has been on sports forums for like 20 years and just now has been told that it's not a literal definition.
  12. Well I can't be expected to figure out how to get back to this site if my bookmarks won't work. It was nice knowing you all.
  13. Digital Assistant & Virtual Intelligence Droid That's all I got.
  14. Sure, just as soon as we stop saying every free agent was actually offered more by another team, or that teams were surprised their guy was available when their turn in the draft came up, or that were ecstatic with our draft class. It’s a harmless catch all phrase that actually does have some meaning because there are definitely teams that will target needs above best player overall. Baseball teams do a version of this all the time, going heavy on pitching or college hitters or whatever else they might be lacking in their system. Not to mention purposely taking a lesser player for signability reasons rather than actually taking BPA. There is no such thing as a universally accepted best player available at any slot, but there are versions of it in every war room and teams either stick with that or let doubt creap into their minds and take the guy that might actually fit their situation instead. I just hope Poles takes the draft 1 pick at a time and takes players that will give 110% on every play. Gotta let the board come to you.
  15. How many pages an we get to debating what BPA means lmao. A few points This Jimmy Johnson interview was pretty entertaining and he talks about BPA and the trade value chart. A guy I talk to on another forum used to sell various software implementation Services to nfl teams. Mostly was playbook related, but I think he did some draft stuff too. His claim is that teams definitely don't rank their draft chart down to the hundredth decimal difference like Kyle's original example. Much more of a star or straight 1-10 rating type ranking. I always figured BPA is more a scouting and setting your board philosophy. You want to evaluate without bias. Come draft day, it shifts to a "best value" discussion which is complex and perhaps esoteric even. But might consider need, positional value, scheme, strength of the board, and perhaps many other things. But I think in popular parlance BPA does just mean that needs isn't the main driver. And to the extent you are looking at need, after like the top 50 picks, immediate need tends to stop being that relevant. Most your rookie value is gonna come in years 3-4 of those deals, so it's much more of a need elimination thing where you aren't gonna burn a spot on a guy if the roster is super stacked and there's no room for him. But you aren't trying to answer "what's my biggest need this year"
  16. Just in case this is my last ever post: Butts
  17. Do the 6 DB's include the one numb nuts is going to take at 9? Many think it should be OL or DL or WR or even RB at 9 but, I was thinking what if one of Witherspoon or Gonzalez is available? Some have suggested Poles subscribing to the idea of being stronger on the backside of defense than up front. Given what he's done during FA and last year's first two picks, could be a strong possibility. I'm planning on it actually. Last year you could hardly find a Bears fan who wasn't mocking some combo of OL-WR in round 2. The Twitter meltdown was fun that night
  18. It's actually just gonna be 4 LB and 6 DB.
  19. while being as careful as I can not to read his posts too closely, he said mooney isn't an outside guy Oops Anyways Mooney is not an X, but he's an outside guy. Doesn't line up out of slot a ton.
