The numbers don’t lie. They were virtually identical. Darnold was the 3rd pick and Fields the 11th. They weren’t vastly different as prospects. Both were elite college QBs, with elite pedigrees and tons of talent. Each had horrible situations in their first stop. Fields, slightly, outperformed Darnold. I attached the numbers. A horrible organization making a horrible trade doesn’t change that. Obviously you like Darnold, a lot. He’s my 19th best QB. My entire point is that Fields (currently my 28th QB) can be in that area. He has that opportunity. When given an opportunity, he has performed, at or a little above, Darnold (until last year). He has the chance this year, that Darnold did last year, with no competition. He’s going to get a full season to prove it. I will die on the hill that they were in a similar place after 3 years. This has nothing to do with feelings and everything to do with actual numbers. Fields didn’t command much in a trade because the Bears had zero leverage. Caleb Williams was considered generational. The Jets could have elected to stick with Darnold and draft Chase or Sewell. They didn’t believe in him enough to do that so they rolled the dice on Zach Wilson, a prospect nowhere near that of Caleb Williams. The Panthers, a terrible organization, with a bad GM, made a crazy offer so they took it. That doesn’t prove anything.

If both of them can be reasonably good in a rotation role that's a big help for us

There’s a pool, and a pond. The pond would be good for you. Someone had to do it!

I think I could vacation in Hawaii (something we are actually considering) for what my wife spent on 4 tickets for us, the son and DIL in section 132 or 134. I advised her to wait to get them cheaper, but she found some on the aisle and knew I‘d appreciate that so she pulled the trigger. We paid $700+/each. You can do better. Good luck!

You didn't see him play and stink up the place? You'll do anything to take a shot at McDermott. He was a train wreck. That was such a big opportunity and he completely whiffed.

That's the problem when you cause something. At some point you need to admit responsibility, and as horrible as the consequences are, you caused it. Hamas took billions in humanitarian aid over the years and diverted it into an underground labyrinth designed for the sole purpose of destroying Israel. They then launched this madness on Oct 7 going into bedrooms and slaughtering women and babies, filming these atrocities. Then, as they always do, hid behind innocent civilians, intentionally sacrificing them to the response they must have known was coming. Want to solve this? The Israelis have provided that answer for over a year. Get rid of Hamas and it ends.

Did you watch him play in the AFC Championship Game? In the biggest moment of his career he was awful and a large part of why we ended up losing that game. Once Benford went out they targeted him big time. Good luck to him but he had more than enough chances here, it just didn't work out.

Turk, I especially appreciate the second youtube video as it has the diagram providing color to the scheme. I know this stunt, but by a different name. It’s been a long time since I coached and even longer since I played, but can work. The problem is if you face an elite front 5 O Line, they can counter amd open a big hole.

Its the pistachio farmer in him that keeps him humble.

I learned in industry, a dog in one setting can be a star in another. Perhaps he just needed a fresh start. Maybe the McD culture didn't mesh w his worldview. Such things happen. I wish him well. (not the 'boys, but Elam)

I still remember the old Peyton Manning line. Someone asked a coach there why their #2 never got reps during the week. And the answer was "Without Peyton we're *****, and we don't practice *****". Same here. If Josh goes down for any length that goes past like 6-7 weeks, then just go for that top 5 pick. So long as the Bills keep shopping from the refuse pile, they're telling me that any lengthy for Josh = tank

So Bosa signed our football today after practice. My wife @MarriedIntoThis says to him “good sharpie” and he says back to her “good sharpie” Love that guy

I think so and I like it. It’s going to make everyone better

Well….how many more Palestinian noncombatants should be killed to saw off what Hamas has “brought on”?

The word is grounded, not cheap.

Context matters. She was asking what was some under the radar aspect of the team that the media and fans don't talk about much. Josh was saying that he does not really know what the conversation is like among the fans and media so that was tough to answer. It's not that her question made no sense to him.

Says that players from up to half the NFL teams were involved. Hopefully, no Bills on the list. "At least 100 players from roughly half of the NFL's 32 teams face fines and possible suspension for allegedly selling their allotted tickets to this year's Super Bowl LIX above face value in violation of league policies, multiple sources told ESPN. Under an agreement between the league and the NFL Players Association, players who violated the rule will be fined 1½ times the face ticket value and lose their allotted tickets to the next two Super Bowls. If they are playing in the game, the players will have the chance to purchase seats. Those who decline the punishment could be suspended by commissioner Roger Goodell, league and union sources with direct knowledge of the situation said." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45823371/sources-least-100-players-face-penalty-super-bowl-tix

'K fair. But I also remember everyone trying to "read the tea leaves" during the battle for starting MLB then getting pantsed when the starter was named.

this would be a first. I’d like to see what that actually looked like.

Fair point

I see there is a pool, but is there a pond?

He’s good at grabbing balls… turnovers, am I right?!

When Roundy gets taken out by an illegal DUI, can we give it the same irrelevant status as Laken Riley?
