Guess who's scouting report this is: Weaknesses Finesse cornerback with relatively slender frame. Physicality and play strength a concern from slot. Big-bodied slot targets will post him up in space and drive him off the line in run game. Tackles when necessary, but doesn't seek out contact. Less technique-oriented and more grabby from slot. Finished career with just six interceptions despite extensive playing time. Early anchor from off coverage caused struggles opening hips when receivers would stem and go. Recovery-quick but not recovery-fast. Texas Tech speedster Jakeem Grant gave him all kinds of vertical work in 2015 Texas Bowl.

I’m not sure that I believe an Ebita of $29 mil is correct. What are they spending $522 mil on? If this was after interest, amort, depreciation I might believe it. Just because something is on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true.

I would certainly agree that this iteration has provided an environment to be successful where previous versions have not. I always thought JP could have done something in the right situation. He's since gone into coaching and been applauded for his knowledge of the game and maturity. Pretty talented player as well.

I think lower and mid level receivers would actually really like Brady's style. Mack Hollins got his best contract after a year with Josh. The WR1 types will not like it cause they wont get target share, but lower caliber WR will get MORE targets in this theory (cause everybody eats). Considering we are very unlikely to have the money to get a WR1 type through FA (most likely route is through the draft), I dont think this matters if its true (it does seem intuitive).

I hope I’m wrong.

The problem is that blacks in particular have problems with second order consequences and American blacks have a particularly nasty form of narcissism which has been fed to them by the regime (including the fourth estate) for years. Even non-criminal blacks often show that they believe that blacks should not be held accountable for crimes they commit. Even if we accept that non-criminal blacks would benefit enormously from the criminal blacks being mass incarcerated, they can’t see past the initial pain point of losing many of their brothers/cousins and the blow to their community, as it were, that the optics of such a measure would create.

He practiced for about 5 days before getting hurt... and while I agree the reports weren't glowing they weren't terrible either. There is a ton more information available..... 32 starts worth of game film from the University of Kentucky. And this is not saying you are only allowed to be positive..... but I'm not surprised you get push back on such a strong negative opinion (to the point of saying you will stop posting if you are wrong) based on reading a few scouting reports and 5 days of training camp his rookie year.

There’s 15 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back…

Stowing away the time,

Good thing THIS GUY is on the case

That and the reviews on his training camp performance have been not glowing and then he suffers the injury that limits his development. This is my opinion based on the information available.

Somewhere I heard that the Dolphins scrimmaging against the Lions looked like a college team scrimmaging against a pro team. Hope that's true. Hope that means something. Not sure on either point.

….before sitting out the second half.

He’s a complete stud, the Lions are lucky to have him.

I just don’t get laughing at others when you were embarrassed by the same thing.

Companies are often valued using a multiple of EBITDA (Earning Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). For example, an independent, non-chain restaurant is usually valued around 2 or 3x EBITDA. Taco Bells typically sell for about 8x EBITDA. The EBITDA multiples in the NFL are crazy high. The annual revenue generated by an NFL team doesn't begin to justify the price. Nearly any other American business investment gives you a better financial ROI. But then there's the emotional ROI - and the profit you make when you sell since valuations appreciate. Bills data from a 2024 CNBC article Valuation: $5.35 billion Revenue: $551 million EBITDA: $29 million Debt as a percentage of value: 7% If the Bills were a Taco Bell franchise with that EBITDA number, they'd be valued at around $240 million. In reality, they have an EBITDA multiple of something like 200x. The NFL is a unique beast.

I like reading these reports: https://www.nfl.com/news/dolphins-encounter-frustrating-day-during-joint-practice-with-lions

So basically it is a gut feel based on reading scouting reports?

Way too early for all these wild assumptions which are based on zip and no time at this level. He’s a youngster with a lot of athletic upside. Hopefully he just needs to be coached up to refine technique and needs more time to figure out what his ideal body type and weight should be moving forward.

jfc you guys are no fun

To be fair he looks like that vs the Bills secondary too.
