That’s an odd situation. As Billstime he/she/they had 642 posts in the Lincoln Project thread. As Homelander he has zero. An interesting thing. Kind of.

But that’s the entire point on why asset allocation matters. We can’t just say, they used 6 picks on skill players in the 1st 3 rounds. 3 RBs, 2 TEs and 1 WR is NOT the mix that you want from a roster building perspective. You need to use prime draft assets on the most expensive positions BECAUSE of cost control. You can sign guys at S, RB, TE, LB and OG that can start and help inexpensively. As an example, Josh Palmer’s AAV would make him the 8th highest paid RB in football. As a WR, it’s 32. If you draft a WR in the top 3 rounds you don’t need to spend $10M AAV on a role player like Palmer. You can allocate the same $10M to a top 10 LG or something like that. You can make your roster better at the top.

No separate thread to discuss his injury & subsequent updates?

NFL players aren’t built like regular people. Their pain thresholds are off the charts. Most of us here would feel like we should be put in traction after just one play in an actual NFL game. I know I would.

beat me by 7 hours !

The chiefs never get injuries we always do, what gives?

Morning broke out the backside of a truck-stop The end of a line a real, rainbow-likening, luck stop Where you could say I became chronologically f@cked up Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped off Then I found a place, it's dark and it's rotted It's a cool, sweet kinda place Where the coppers won't spot it And I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it However, everyday I'm dumping the body

I didn’t vote for anyone.

I Get what you're saying and I respect your opinion Not trying to say Seattle did not have an elite secondary... I'm trying to say that Seattle in fact had a complete elite defensive unit which made it so formidable They led the NFL in quick pressure rate.. meaning they were getting home without coverage sacks too The bills semi recently have had one of the best three or four secondaries in the world.. we have posted two veteran safeties who were pro bowl all pros.. an all pro outside corner and one of the best slots in the game Yet in the biggest games of the year against the best quarterbacks, it didn't matter because we didn't get pressure up front... Our three all pros didn't do enough to mitigate the lack of pressure Elite quarterbacks still found guys With that Seattle team they were getting home... They had a nine man defensive rotation just like we do and they were all eating and playing ferocious That takes pressure off a secondary... I bet if we take 2013's Seattle front four.. and our great secondary of poyer hyde Tre White, taron... That we have a super bowl or two Their front four is better than our front four on game day ... I think our front 4 this year is going to take a step up and become formidable and I like our chances obviously their legion of boom was once in a lifetime great.. but Pete Carroll like Sean McDermott understands fresh defensive line rotations going back to USC.. and he was playing 9 angry guys who were getting home under 3 seconds With a Hall of Fame middle linebacker and KJ wright who was underrated in his own right I don't know many great defenses with a weak front 7 and that's why I said it's got to start there.. and then on offense even the best quarterback will be on his back without an offensive line That's why I said those are the building blocks to at least being sustainable in the NFL and being in the games.. I didn't say it's going to win you 12 games a year I said it's a building block to keep you in games I 100% understand what you're saying and the legion of boom was a tremendous unit that is probably once a lifetime

It happens plenty. I remember Tom Brady got up after his and hobbled off. He had trainers, but they weren’t holding him up or anything. Tommy Doyle went back in and played in the game vs the Dolphins where he tore his. Just depends.

I’ve not said a single thing about the relative size of their contracts or its impact on the salary cap. I think everyone knows that each position brings its own ‘sliding scale’.

Larry gets a rest day ! He gets six weeks of rest once the season starts. I already dont like him

every case is different Tommy Doyle played the 4th quarter against the Fins on a torn ACL bc we were out of lineman. Tom Brady walked off with a torn ACL… which was actually badass. And I hate him. Couple recent NCAA wrestlers won Natty’s on torn ACLs (Nolf, Starocci, OTool placed 2nd)

Usually the most highly regarded source around here:

I know a kid who won a state wrestling championship on a torn ACL.

Quite the opposite. The cost of a WR is significantly higher than the cost of a WR or RB. When you draft guys, they’re slotted for 4 years (with a 5th year option for 1st rounders). Cost control is important. I’ll give a real example. The Bills will have the option to add a 5th year for Dalton Kincaid that will probably make him one of the top paid TEs in football. The Seahawks can add a 5th year for JSN that will be nowhere near the top of the WR market. JSN signed a 4 year deal worth $14.4M. He went to the Pro Bowl this year. The top of the WR market is now $40M+. 4 years of a Pro Bowl WR at $3.6M a year (plus an option year) is WAY more valuable than 4 years of a TE/RB at a similar cost. That’s the point that you’re not seeing as these get mixed together. You could draft a 1st round TE and sign the top WR in the NFL and it would be an AAV of $44M or something like that. You could sign the top TE in the NFL and draft a 1st round WR and it would be an AAV of $23M or something like that.

Says the dude who posts articles from the lincoln project.

On this team alone, Reggie Ragland walked to the locker room in Training Camp after tearing his ACL. Von Miller got up and walked to the sidelines after tearing his ACL.

Is your sport wheelchair basketball?

That's true, forgot about that. Good counter-example.

Possible they want to take him for an MRI as either a needed confirmation or a MRI for a precautionary measure hopefully. You might not have much of an update

Von Miller didn't have a big reaction after his ACL tear. He was kneeling on the field and walking around on the sideline before he was carted off
