Haha, to be fair I never said that, nor did I say the sky was falling. All I'm saying is people cheering that it's "only" a hamstring...a hamstring injury might be something that needs to be accounted for the rest of one's career I think it's the overall general idea where people might be cheering for something initially, but then in the long run it ends up being worse than the thing they were initially cheering against...like that as a general concept is kinda tickling my brain a bit...like from a Shakespearian/Greek tragedy/film noir perspective

Except a hamstring can never truly fully heal...my understanding is no muscle can after there is any form of tearing, which is what a pull or a "tweak" is, albeit small. Kinda like when you get a cut and your skin doesn't grow back exactly the same (you get a scar)...obviously a very small tweak is better than a huge tear, but my understanding is the nature of the hamstring muscle makes it much easier to happen again once there is scar tissue...I'd be really happy to learn this isn't the case with very small hamstring pulls. I'm not saying it's gonna be a big issue, but it's like people hearing someone had a minor meniscus injury that just needed a "clean up" and being like, phew, that's good news that it's not an acl...when over the long term an acl might be less impactful.

It's not about the healing time, it's about how after the first one they can start happening again over and over.

A hamstring pull isn't ideal though...the fact it sounds like he's walking ok is good, maybe it really was a tiny pull that doesn't make future ones more likely

So it's Nabers eh? Lol, thanks for correcting me gently on that one 😅 So basically you're doing the in the moment QB Purgatory rankings...you think those are the top three (in a bad way) teams?

They've recently enough won super bowls and they basically have had one qb somewhat bust after having Eli Manning for an entire generation. The Jets and the Browns though... The Giants are also going through an active rebuild and used their worst record two seasons ago to draft Neighbors who looks like he has the chance to be a hall of fame receiver. The Jets and the Browns though...the Browns?!

Huh? That post is kinda incomprehensible tbh

The Giants don't belong anywhere close to that list in my opinion

But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I’m gettin’ older, too

North Davidson (NoDa) area of Charlotte is amazing and very much not generic...but agree overall it's a pretty generic city. They also have pretty solid public transportation and there's a lot to do...if we hadn't moved to raleigh, Charlotte would have been a very likely option, and back in 2015 or so we came very close from moving from Ft Lauderdale to Charlotte and would have lived in NoDa, but I ended up getting a good job in FtL and ended up moving out of Florida in 2020 so we could actually see family up in NYS Long way of me saying NoDa is amazing and I just learned recently that you can take a $29 one way amtrak from raleigh to Charlotte and kids under 12 ride half price

Have you seen Kincaid's separation/win rate stats and his % of catchable ball rate stats? They don't tell a story of him taking a step back, let alone a huge step back, and most certainly not a HUGE step back.

I guess, but I live in Raleigh and usually go to a game or two of Duke and UNC lax once a year...I played high school lacrosse and high level D1 is truly just a different game...it's so fast and physical, it's insane...but yeah, I mean I could see someone being like 6'5" and 240 being insane at lacrosse (Josh Allen size) and then being able to pack on an additional 60lbs of weight by eating a lot. Maybe not a midi, but yeah long stick even d mid or playing attack and just bull dodging or inverting and good luck stopping them on a sweep...the more I think about it the more I can see it, but it still feels unexpected, but just goes to show that you can be really good at lacrosse in so many different ways, it's crazy

Wait, he was going to play lacrosse at Syracuse and then ended up playing football as a DT?! Was he going to play goalie or something...otherwise I'm having a hard time with the logistics of this

JP Losman and I will die on this hill...he was incredibly mismanaged and is a very similar player to Allen in terms of physical ability (not saying he's on Allen's level, but similar) and from all accounts he's incredibly smart and understands the game at a super high level (this is what caused him to be viewed as negative instead of what he was which was curious and passionate).

Delray Beach? That place is really cool... I've never watched sports there, but have seen Crazy Fingers (a grateful dead tribute band) there a good number of times. Delray is really cool (I lived in ft lauderdale for 8 years, in raleigh NC now). Man now I'm thinking about DADA and how cool that restaurant is and how we had some really nice times with friends there a bunch of times. Packy's on Sample is a pretty freaking cool bills backers bar (I moved away in 2020 fwiw)
