More like "yeah, Tapper's telling us what we already knew."

We disagree on that, but it's not that important to belabor it, because I think we do agree they're all the same class of player that's going to give you the same end result come January. Or do we not?

Mailata was a 7th round International Pathway player. Basically stupid good luck since those guys are more or less dartboarded to teams.

16 threads bumped and counting! Bill has just decided to flood the system.

Defending this dumpster fire for another 3.5 years? Buckle up it’s going to be hell for them.

As i stated previously

Glorious Mexican navy? Hahahaha…….now I know you’re a clown. 🤡

The biden crime family definitely delivered for his family.

He is better than Cousins and better than Purdy.

The cat is far more likely to have “delivered” the current ***t show.

If you count all 4 branches there may be close to 200 (Army has 88). And that's just for the "official" bands. That does include things like the US Army Soldier Show, which is official, but a little less organized (they are compromised of regular, non-music MOS soldiers and are generally organized at the installation level). Still serves part of the same mission though, so I'd say the "hundreds" remark isn't entirely inaccurate.

Now I know you're just a troll. Good god.

LOL!! Not at Brandon. An instant classic!

They mocked his age, his health, even his speech but the man delivered while the loudest critics have done nothing but tweet.

Honorable Mention: Tremaine Edmunds.

I don't have Cook yet in the near elite. I have him, as I said above, two steps away from that status rather than Brown and Benford who are one. And while I dobn't know exactly what numbers.... yea I broadly think Beane has been good at getting guys in your 2nd and 3rd category. Again I might quibble a bit about a player or two (Bernard isn't in that territory for me). As for other Chiefs and Eagles I'd throw into the conversation.. it probably is just Creed and Rashee for the Chiefs. The next 4 would be Sneed, Trey Smith, Nick Bolton and Karlaftis but think they are all in the very good rather than near elite bucket. Howie has more. He still has Lane Johnson from his first spell (before the Chip Kelly having GM control disaster) who I don't think is quite elite anymore but is still near elite. Then Landon Dickerson who is near elite too. Smith I'd put in the very good category personally but can take an argument either way. And then the two DBs last year who were near elite as rooks. If they both back it up in 2025 they could both well be in elite territory. He has been the best left tackle in football over the last four years. He is elite. End of discussion for me.

What are they so desperate to keep buried?

no “confusing the wind” either, though…

I don't think this takes away from my point that he's in the same camp as a guy like Cousins or Purdy that are ultimately the weak link on their team. Comparing their stats during the regular season is great as long as anybody cares about that. The playoffs is a different animal entirely and each of these guys seems to struggle under the added pressure. As for what I do if I have a player like this, I guess it depends on what your goals are. Are you really trying to win a Super Bowl at all costs, or are you more interested in having a team that people believe is capable of winning a Super Bowl? As an owner, the latter might be better than the former. If that's the case, you keep Goff and you tow the company line about "getting better"/"finishing the job", etc and you rake in the profits from stacking up division championships (something the Bills are currently doing). If you care about winning the Super Bowl, you do what the Rams did when they traded for Stafford. At worst, you should be trying to find a guy behind him that can push for the job. Do the Lions believe a 27 year old Hendon Hooker is that, or is he just a cheap backup? For sure, but 3 picks doesn't help. Even going back the previous year against SF, Goff lead the offense to a 24-7 start, but then he was only able to generate 7 more points (in garbage time) across the second half of the game in an loss. He had two drives of 4th and 3 and 4th and 2 where he threw incomplete passes. You just can't do that.

Standing on the sideline as much? He led our WRs in snaps

100 more snaps and the same age as a rookie as Rousseau is in his 4th season. Rousseau generated pressure on 8.6% of his snaps (63/735) and Verse generated pressure on 9.2% of his snaps (77/834. Rousseau had never even crossed the 600 snap plateau prior to this season, it's a volume thing in the way we rotate our defensive lineman, and he still put up similar or better volume stats in his age 21, 22 and 23 seasons. Rousseau showed exactly why the Bills should cut him a check, after earning his third-straight season surpassing an 80.0-plus overall grade. During the regular season, the 24-year-old pass-rusher generated 63 total pressures — tied for the 10th most among edge defenders. What's more impressive, Greg Rousseau who’s been playing at this level for three years (age 22-24), or Jared Verse (age 24) who has done it once. I’ll take the proven track record every time. You’re overhyping their guy and underselling your own.
