  1. Yeah, but he was born on a leap day... he only has a birthday every four years, so...
  2. I guess, but their importance in the offense has also been decreasing up until this year or last year... offense are playing bigger personnel again to take advantage of smaller defenses that were designed to stop spread offenses. Also, I'm not really sure supply and demand applies fully...first scheme fit is super important, because finding strong offensive line talent is hard, and think about how both Moss and Singletary struggled running run schemes they weren't the strongest at...and how the Bills offensive line had weak links in zone and weak links in gap (Kromer is amazing in terms of building lines around individuals strengths and not forcing players to do things they're not good at). Second, agents are super influential and they set expectations.
  3. What if the RB market is resetting though? The Cowboys traded Cooper because they didn't want to pay what at the time felt like a huge contract, but would have been excellent value just a couple years later. Cook is a weapon...I know you can find running backs easily on rookie deals in the draft, but they're not going to be weapons. I'm not saying definitely sign him, but are we splitting hairs a bit between $10m/yr and $15m/yr when the cap is looking like it's going to take a massive jump in the next few years anyway? Obviously that means you're projecting he's going to maintain his level of play over the contract.
  4. The Edge of Seventeen is one of my all-time favorite movies fwiw... she's incredible in it, and so are Woody Harrelson and Krya Sedgwick
  5. But there are rules and laws that prevent people from doing anything at all that they want to do...
  6. I think the LeBron comparison is better overall and he also finally was able to beat teams that had beat him consistently. Allen hasn't ever had the mental aspect to overcome in terms of LeBron not being able to post up JJ Barea, but Allen is so much closer in personality to LeBron than Jordan was...everyone loves Allen, not the case with Jordan...also Allen and LeBron were physically dominant, and I will say Allen did have a mental challenge to overcome as well, which he has this year so amazingly...not big play hunting and taking check downs. Also, LeBron would physically impose his will on Jordan...and LeBron is a significantly better three point shooter (which he massively improved over his career)...I'd say a better Jordan comp would be Lamar Jackson honestly...and none of this is a knock against Jordan, I was a huge huge John Stockton fan... Jordan broke my heart several times...actually you could argue that Allen truly opened up his game when he began to play more like LeBron early in games, setting up teammates and picking his spots and then taking over in the 4th quarter...actually I always consider Chris Paul a good comp for what I hoped Allen's game would resemble in terms of setting up teammates early and then dominating in the clutch and key moments.
  7. Not sure if this has been said yet, but fans are not their customers
  8. They intentionally sabatoged that pass interference challenge rule...didn't they over turn like two all season or something insane like that?
  9. I don't think it's a libido thing... the type of stuff he's doing (allegedly) is about control and power dynamics
  10. It really is a super highly nuanced situation...another huge issue is developers...we are building and living in places that are not long term viable and then people are using insurance to mitigate that risk (I am not blaming victims here). The problem, this isn't just an issue with people building properties on the coasts, in places that get regular wildfires/wilderness areas anymore. People are losing coverage all over the country because places are at higher risk of major storms and such now. But... I'm gonna bring it back to another issue...things are way more expensive to fix now than before too...and I don't mean like inflation and not enough skilled labor, which is an issue. The main issue is we are building houses that are way too big and cars that are way too expensive. The reason you can't find a $150k house or a $15k car isn't because cost of materials is so high...it's because housing developers and car companies are not building houses and cars that cost that much. Short term profit maximization at the expense of long term sustainability. Plus you add in private equity buying up all the existing houses and turning them into rentals and now the price of existing houses are crazy expensive and not just new constructions because the houses are so crazy big. I moved away from Ft Lauderdale in 2020 in large part because I was tired of the stress of hurricanes, our families are in NYS and we weren't flying because of covid, so we wouldn't see family for a really long time...but one of the absolute key reasons was because I was worried they would stop giving 30 year mortgages down there (which will happen at some point) and we would be stuck.
  11. Anyone know if Josh Allen's house is at risk at all?
  12. I live in raleigh, we get the panthers preseason games. Obviously it's against players not in the nfl, totally get that... the accuracy and the ball placement on those short throws is insane for a player with Josh Allen's physical toolkit (not sure on his arm strength compared to Allen). Plus how he seemingly has a plan when things go off script and he's moving to set stuff up and not just bailing...
  13. Joe Milton had looked that good all preseason and not just in preseason games, reports out of training camp were that he was absolutely crushing it all camp
  14. Totally get that, but his poise and ability to move in the pocket to buy time...he's gonna be really really good I think and they drafted him in the freaking 6th round...hopefully they trade him the the giants for their second this year...I wouldn't be super shocked if a new coach comes in though and names Milton the starter...I don't think he's just better than Maye, I think Milton could be elite (hopefully someone who actually knows football can weigh in on this, but like I said, I based this off watching Milton in the preseason and the bills game)...also, the bills weren't playing the 75th player on the preseason roster...he played against mostly legit nfl role players...granted the bills defense isn't the best version, but these are players that have been rostered on nfl rosters all season largely.
