Count me in the group that used to post at HyperBills. The Olof Pilar story was crazy back in the day.

If he had 3 more catches he would’ve been #2 in the nfl in yards per reception. Making big plays is what he did in college. He also made big plays last season. He posterized a plus tall and lanky corner in woolen. I expect him to get better. I think that’s fair to say about many players.

I seriously can't believe i'm still talking about McConkey. The whole way leading up to the Draft I was saying "he's not an Outside WR, he's not a fit for us". People fought tooth and nail with me to say "he's an Outside WR". Some even saying "wait until we Draft him, i'll have the receipts loaded". Draft comes and he's on the board. We don't pick him. We pick someone who is a full time Outside WR. As expected. Because we already had Slot WR's and guys who will split time in the Slot and literally nothing else (save for Mack Hollins). The Chargers pick him. Proceed to use him in the Slot for 65% of his snaps. While having almost nothing on the Outside. The Chargers lose Josh Palmer this offseason. Rather than say they're going to switch McConkey to the Outside, they spend a 2nd Round Pick on a WR for the second year in a row (McConkey last year) to fill the role, after bringing back Mike Williams as their Tre White like insurance with us. Yet still, here we are, with people saying "it's criminal they didn't take McConkey". It's utterly baffling to me. If you need a Boundary CB, you don't take a Nickel. If you need a 1T DT, you don't Draft a 3T DT. If you need a Tackle, you don't Draft a Guard. If you need a Middle Linebacker, you don't Draft an Outside Linebacker. And if you need an Outside WR.... you don't Draft a Slot. McConkey was a WR, but he wasn't the right type of WR. It's as simple as that.

First things first. The point of this discussion is that Beane drafted the wrong guy. He did regardless of metrics and internet scouting reports. Unlike the vast majority of people here, I am a UGA season ticket holder and watched every game Ladd played at UGA, most in person. The kid lined up all over the field, both inside and out and the truth be told, I don't care where he lines up as much as where he catches the ball and you shouldn't care either where he lines up. For example, lets say Diggs and Ladd lineup on the same side of the field with Ladd inside of Diggs. They then run a crossing pattern and Ladd catches the ball along the sidelines for 30 yards. Is that a slot play or a boundary play? Under your limited definition, that's a slot play because he lined up inside. I say the opposite. Run the same play and Diggs catches the ball over the middle 15 yards deep. Slot play or boundary play? Your definition doesn't take into account how modern football is played. Ladd may have started 65% of his plays in LA inside, but he caught the ball all over the field both inside and out. Also there was much discussion when Coleman was drafted that he'd be better in the slot. As to Shakir, his average catch last season was 2.9 yards down field (average catch 10.8 yards - Yac/r of 7.9 = 2.9 yards of AIR) and almost all were over the middle. He is a true inside possession slot receiver in the Buffalo offense. Ladd averaged 14 yards per catch with YAC of 4.8. This means his average catch was 9.2 yards down field.

If you win a division you deserve one home playoff game minimum. If the NFL wants to make the divisions better by making only 3 divisions per conference that is fine but a division must mean something.

For me, I would want to see indicators to suggest that. Someone used the Kincaid example earlier. There was a guy on WGR last week talking about how good his separation numbers were, his YAC and how many off target throws he saw (most of any TE). That is an indicator that it will likely improve. He probably won’t be last in on target throws next year. That should normalize. There wasn’t anything like that with Coleman. I saw the exact guy that I expected.

you shoulda gone all cash then Einstein. Then get back in when sanity returns. Whenever that will be. Gold is dropping too. Make a bet. How bout the currency market. Are you willing to bet on the dollar? Buffet and all the masters of the universe think this is folly. but you know better cuz you flew fighter jets...

New York over Boston. Those words always sound good when placed together in that order.

I didn’t really care much about the whole Gulf of Mexico / Gulf of America thing, but it’s Gulf of America now.

Then why are you convinced he's going to fly the plane after he's no longer President? Again the plane gets accepted, it will be property of the US Military. It's not like they'll let you take it out for joy rides.

I believe wholeheartedly that most people believe that the chances are greater that a 22 year old (as he turned 22 today) #33 overall pick improves from year one to year two. Does that mean he’s definitely going to improve? Definitely not….there’s definitely a chance they are what they are, but I feel the majority expect these type of players to improve. I do in most cases.

Ya. I'm dim. The market got a bit of a Trump bump after the election. The market did not like the tariff thing, reacted, and has responded to adjustments to that. The bond market has done nothing. TSLA trades at a ridiculous PE. Issues that do that are notoriously volatile. Nothing to glean from that. Either way the thought of a moron being elected with a greater moron as VP would have been a disaster for the market. Certainly would have caused me to go all cash, if not short it. But hey.....I'm dim.

I’ll say this as plainly as I can: Coleman was a rookie. He missed time last year in addition to being a rookie. He has things to learn. Like getting back to speed after an injury. Writing him off after just over half a season is ridiculous.

Who is "you guys"? I don't like President Trump and I didn't like President Biden either. It's not a black and white world. I can dislike both if I want to. And please quote me when I posted President Trump will start WW III. That's one of the things I like about him, he hates war like I do.

First of all, Kincaid and Coleman are different. Kincaid's separation stats were elite for a TE. Brady/Josh was more of a problem than Kincaid. Kincaid's stats were identical pre and post injury. Brady, Allen, and him need to get on the same page if they want this offense to truly be elite. Coleman was inconsistent before the injury and reading the tea leaves he didn't work as hard as he should've to recover from the wrist injury. That's on Coleman.

I think we agree. I’m just saying there are other folks assuming he’ll never work out. Way too premature for that.

another great song not played. Still a great wedding. I think they'll be happy.

Once you start buying your tickets less than 24 hours before a game, you never go back. 90% of the time, you save a lot of money.

When you're lacking a premium position player on either side of the ball and have a chance to do it you should or we'll just keep winning our annual Wild Card games. I don't think our offense had a no punt game or something like that against KC.

Yeah you're right. It didn't need to be said.

cool. so you've only lost 20% of its value in the last 4 months. Be joyful! This is such a cool song. Not sure why they didn't play it at the wedding. I'm guessing Georgia...

I did? I bought Tesla in 2017 lol 😂

No idea why people bother even worrying about schedules when they come out, teams rise and fall every year. Players get hurt. Teams go on cold/hot streaks, etc. None of this will be known until the week we play them.

I'm bringing up the fact that Blitzkrieg is crowing on making money on tesla and he apparently still owns shares talk to him. As I've said before the market trajectory was much better before Jan 17 2025. Are you dim? Please tell me you're not interested...

I’m one of the few Coleman believers on this board, but not drafting McConkey was absolutely criminal.
