Did you know he went to Harvard? That didn’t help either. But I’m truly surprised the chestbeard didn’t do the trick for us. -

Trying to frame the biggest corporate shill as a victim of other corporate shills is comical.

Honestly this will move in such a uniformed way across the league (well 31/32; looking at you Cinci), that there wont be any competitive advantage to how we handle it. We'll follow the market... and if thats the case, then I say good for the players. Its easy to point to the successful players' contracts in the NFL and say "what you werent making enough before?". However the average NFL lifespan is something like ~3.5 years'ish. Those juicy contracts are the exception, not the rule. CTE is very real, and a serious risk; but how about the lesser extreme more common risks the average player sees? Loss of mobility, loss of cognitive function. Missing out on their young kids early development with a busy schedule/traveling. Joint pain. I'm the last guy to feel bad for these guys, but they EARN it a lot more than we'll ever fully know & see. For the homies that are out in 2-3 years; they'll have a helluva head start in life if theyre smart with the money. Dropping even $500k-$1m by the age of 25 into a retirement account will really jump start a retirement investment!!! Most of these owners do this for the LOLZ along the way. While the players certainly do some of that too, their high income years (in the NFL) are so short that it can really mean a lot to them and their families. -

What an absolutely devastating thing.

A fully gaurenteed (or almost) contract for a 2nd rounder seems insane to me, but guess that's buisness

You see - right here you just kind of again said all of the extra targets would be those bubble screens. We are only talking about 1 more target per game, and you just said 1 or 2 more bubble screens. His ratio to bubble screens to other passes is already factored into his 100 targets and efficiency. Therefore, if you assume the same target distribution, which you should, then the per target efficiency scales with the extra target, not decreases. But the way you just phrased again is increasing the targets by increasing just bubble screens essentially and I don't think that is reasonable way to estimate his target increase. I said that 2024 is probably his floor on things like YPC because of the increased short yardage throws (by strategic design) vs his elite efficiency in 2023 being helped by lower volume and many big plays. You and others keep wanting to further lower his floor as if he has no ability or talent above doing more bubble screens. This is really the spot where we disagree, the assumed type of targets on any above his pace last year. To be clear, I didn't say he was a focal point guy, but that doesn't mean he cant be a significant player in an offense still. And what I meant by true efficiency is that no one season ever determines a players efficiency, and that his 2024 was likely more indicative of his floor, and 2023 was more indicative of an outlier with the combo of lower volume and several big plays within that volume. When I said that was more about what his efficiency looks like over a period of seasons, not just picking any one season. Its all good, all discussion, and all subjective. I just think people are short changing just how good he is at what he does and that he is being pigeon hold a bit too much into this bubble screen stuff. He was on pace for 110 targets here last year but he missed a little time with the injury. I think his sweet spot for say max targets is probaby 110-130 in an offense, and in our offense that puts him just at or over 1000 yards, and in an offense where the rest of the field is opened up a bit more with help elsewhere, I think his efficiency goes up and totals as well. That being said - My hope is that we see guys like Keon, Palmer, Kincaid, and maybe even Moore prove they need targets this year, and that results in fewer targets for Shakir. But let me be clear, not because Shakir isn't good enough for these targets, I say that because I want to see these other guys also be good which would make our offense even better if so. I still think he would be one of the first 30 with all the intangibles he brings along with ability and talent compared to a lot of the other guys in that range who are either older or blend too much with the next 20 or so guys still available. -

Kyle Brandt has some pretty interesting stats 😅 -
I believe the ratings stuff, but the timing? I doubt it’s coincidental. More Shari Redstone cozying up to Trump to complete the CBS sale without FCC interference. Enjoy the New CBS, brought to you by Oracle and the Ellison kids.

That's not really the story of the game. A lot of it came down to coaching decisions. For instance, BB decided to forego kicking a FG midway through in the third quarter on 4th and 13 from the 31 yard line. I thought that was insane at the time, and I was right. Brady threw a low-percentage heave to Jabar Gaffney that really had no chance. It would have been a 49 yard FG attempt in a dome for Gostkowski, who in all likelihood would have made the kick. Bear in mind that they lost by 3 points. After the Giants went up 10-7, the Pats threw it every single play on a stalled drive early in the fourth rather than mix it up. And then they blitzed on the game winning TD to Plaxico, shortly after Asante Samuel dropped what absolutely should have been the game-ending interception. At any rate, the 2006 Pats were probably the most dominant team in NFL history, and just had a bad day. Their not winning the SB had nothing to do with the fact that Randy Moss was the top receiver on the team.
