Big Johnny Cash fan, another great story teller Some of Knopflers music reminds me of him.

⬆️ Biden is mentally fit dude sezwhat? 😂

That basically applies to all premium positions. The premium aka edge/island positions in the NFL today are: QB PassRush1 LT WR1 CB1 (if system is man coverage because zone coverage is not playing on an island) First and Second round for sure and subsequent mid-rounds if the evaluation is close......go premium. This thread is talking about efficiency..........if you are going to be shopping in free agency you are most likely to get value from FA from the non-premium positions like Guard, Safety and RB. The Bills have invested recent second rounders in all 3.

Yeah, those are the ones that significant contracts. The problem with “any position” is that WR is quickly becoming the second highest paid position. So an overpay or bad contract for a mid tier off-ball linebacker will hurt less than an overpay or bad contract for a mid tier WR. That’s the point.

They are just dumb. Not much you can say to them. Let him suffer in his stupidity.

Ah, I see. Fair enough. My bad. But again, maybe it's shorthand, but you're consistently referring to guys by their production alone even as you say you're not judging them that way. As Shaw pointed out, the Bills are looking at how guys will fit our situation and what we want out of this offense. Also, you pointed out, what seven or eight WR overpays above. Without going into the specifics of those or other contracts, over the same four or five years there are plenty of WR underpays and plenty of WRs who were well-valued. You'll fine that at any position, the old bell curve.

Exactly.

This one is the topic, but not (quite) a toothpick. Almost.

Well done, Animal crackers

The NYT at 2pm today has made no indication that they know the suspect is a liberal government employee, but have made multiple comments about them being against Trump. I read it on Twitter at least an hour ago who the suspect is and to aware.

I know a lot of army families going to DC for this. It’s a big deal to them and it’s a big deal for recruitment and what it means to serve. If you’ve paid attention to what’s happened to our military the last 15 plus years this makes total sense and is well deserved. The focus may be the Army but this parade today is also a statement to remind Americans how great our military truly is and that isn’t some grounds for societal woke experiments. And after all it is 250 year anniversary. I know it pains libs so much Trump will be POTUS during some significant events and anniversaries - just wait till next year 250 years since the Declaration. And if this POS hates it that much, you know it’s a good idea. Note the laughter from the host and crowd - these people are gone

Good. Let's do what we can to keep it that way.

Drove through LA on my way back from a funeral yesterday. If you zoom out from the three pictures of the “hellscape” you keep seeing on the news, I can assure you, the only thing attacking LA at present is sunshine and horrific traffic (see: a normal Friday). Both sides of the media are posting a handful of zoomed in (literally and figuratively) photos to show the “libs torching cars” and the military “attacking” said “libs.” Get off your couch and the internet for a while folks. The country is not burning.

I feel like drafting a second or third round RB every other year is a horrific strategy. Who would you rather have on a rookie contract? A top 15 running back or a top 30 WR? I was talking about Mooney….

It’s not about a toothpick but it mentions one. Try again?

I’d call it a mostly peaceful drive.

Only tangentially related, an I the only one who loathes parades in general? Parades of all sorts block streets, if you’re odd enough to actually attend one, you’re forced to stand shoulder to shoulder with the general public with varying levels of personal hygiene, and there’s never a good place or enough places to take a leak. All for the chance to see a bunch of people stroll by for 90 seconds while you hope to get a chance to stare at them, assuming no one is blocking your view. If I were the type to believe in something like Hell, the Macys Thanksgiving day parade in perpetuity would be up there with my best possible description. Now get off my lawn so I can yell at a cloud in the sky in peace.

You say you're not relying on yards alone. Then when describing Palmer, that's precisely what you do, that and nothing else. "A guy with back to back 400 yard seasons. That's Josh Palmer production." And nothing else. With only 61 and 65 targets, and on 75% and 65% of snaps there's an extremely good argument that they left a lot of his potential unused. That could be wrong or it could be right, nobody knows. But it probably speaks less to the market than it does the Bills (and possibly other teams as well) evaluation of Palmer specifically. You're judging him - based directly on your own post - on past yards alone. Clearly the Bills are not. Again, doesn't mean this contract will look good down the line. That'll have to be seen.
