Late round picks should not be starting at QB. Not with a terrible offensive line and no receivers or running game. He really never had a chance. Also, it sounds like Allen benefited a bunch from Anderson and Barkley, and if you look at the room when Peterman was here, there wasn't anyone really that could provide that mentorship. None of that takes away from his awful stats, but it does offer an opportunity for improvement.

I'm not linking to the pictures cause it will likely get me banned...if you're saying it was a frivolous lawsuit and have not seen the pictures of the burns, stop now and google it (nake sure there are no kids around, and brace yourself, it's really bad). If you have not seen those pictures, and are commenting about the case being frivolous, and do not go look at the pictures, and continue to think that way, you are an uredeemable dolt sheep. McDonald's went on a huge media campaign to tarnish this woman, and it resulted in huge changes to how people can hold corporations accountable. You now have to go to arbitration where the company wins like 90% of the time, and they have massive limits on damages that are in many cases laughably low. Do some research, tort reform is a huge power grab by corporations that achieved this through bribing elected officials through donations. She has black holes in her skin across her thighs that are mad deep. Imagine it was a car accident and it spilled on a babies face. Go look at the fing pictures and come back and tell me it was a frivolous case.

Any out of town weekends? Last year the Sabres played a Florida back to back (tampa Friday, south florida saturday) and bills/dolphins Sunday.

Because it's June?

And what type of people is that exactly? You hate Jim Kelly? By all accounts he was out partying the night before the Giants super bowl. You don't know this person yet you say hate him... And useless to society?! He is playing a game for you to watch. We'll probably run into each other at Packy's, but you sound a bit entitled. The guy can make a choice if he wants to play football or not. The team can cut him and fine him based on the terms of his contract. My wife ran was getting bloodwork last week out in I think Plantation, and there was a huge wait. She was sitting next to an older dude who started talking to her, because he could not keep from getting extremely angry if he has to wait in lines. He was a former nfl player who played 12 years in the league and was getting bloodwork to rule out other things, but drs suspect CTE...he's in his early 50s, if that. That is a dark lonely path he and his family are likely about to go down. The majority of current players are probably making about what he made per year in the 90s (guessing the current league min is around what he made as a high level player). Relax a second about how he is ruining your couch time. You don't know what's going on in his life, you don't know where his life goals are...maybe it's not to get spit out physically broken with a timer counting down to where he can't wait half an hour without getting outwardly angry.

I really think people are minimizing how he helped to evolve football. He is the Cam Newton, Donte Culpepper, Josh Allen, etc. prototype. He was also able to become a pocket passer when he lost his elite athleticism in the second half of his career. Hopefully Josh Allen can mirror a lot of McNabb. Also, interesting that both McNabb and Allen played basketball really well. Not sure what it means, but probably something.

I dunno, that was before all those guys except Favre really got there. They were all chasing the same thing and McNabb came damn close to getting it. TO getting hurt was huge. The offenses in the nfl also changed toward the end of McNabb's career, and for Brady it was at the peak of his prime. The Eagles offensive trio was crazy legit in 2005, two years before Brady and Moss. McNabb was a huge, terrifying part of that. That was the coolest offense I have seen in a long time, now everyone in the league does it. He was a complete mold breaker for the time, and the league had not seen a qb like that in my lifetime. Warren Moon and Cunningham were different runners and overall style of play. Culpepper is like McNabb. Cam Newton is like McNabb. Josh Allen is like McNabb. Only McNabb managed to reinvent himself as a pocket passer. Remember that? Remember how everyone said he had no chance and they had that offense, after losing in what 3 straight nfc championship games?! And they were all upsets it felt like at least. He was the qb on the best team in the league that went to 3 straight nfc championship games and lost in a one game sample size. Hopefully Josh Allen can be like Donovan McNabb in a lot of ways. He was the first modern in skill set quarterback...a solid runner who could also throw really well, that again, changed the damn league in a fundamental way. Stop looking at the stats. It was a pass happy offense in a non pass happy league. Getting there, but dbs could grab and you could get destroyed across the middle. I'm not saying definite hall of famer, but a lot of people are blindly saying he was simply good, and that isn't the case.

Any news on offset language? That's usually what holds these deals up, not a 'desire' to play.

Well that's a downer...

So homer radio ultimately is being ingrained in a certain point of view regardless of facts, or always giving the benefit of the doubt one way, even when it isn't warranted, in my opinion. That's what WGR does whenever I hear them, just tobthe negative side...it's all click bait...granted I only listen to the pre and post games, but I can't imagine it changes...they're all just gas bags trying to fill air apace relying on callers to do their jobs for them. Makes me think of what my man Leo says: I'm needing less restraint before I'm needing to hit the lights and close the door I'm fine, I'm fine cause I'm... Dripping in this strange design None is yours and far less mine Hold the wheel, read the sign Keep the tires off the line Just relax, you're doing fine Swimming in this real thing I call life Can I bring a few companions on this ride? I'm feeling, my heart's not beating anymore I'm feeling. it's alright, this happened once before I'm fine, I'm fine cause I'm... Dripping in this strange design

And that right there is the entire premise of the Dan Le Batard Show w/ Stugotz You might actually get the show! Seriously, if you listen to Le Batard Show with that in mind you're in on the inside joke and will get it.

Good rebuttal, and valid point to an extent on the slice of 1% certainly seems like it is more than the tiny relative amount I thought it was (though still minuscule compared to an owners take of 1%). The one piece you're missing is that the majority of the increse of the pie would go to the top players, so most of the members of the union would not see a near $1m bump in salary (using my random 3000 number). I would be interested if they raised the minimum salaries across the board (including practice squad and camp players) how that would look. I think where I really struggle is two players do the exact same thing (hit a defensless receiver for example) and they get fined the same amount. One player makes $10m a year, the other $500k, the punishment is much stronger on the less valuable player. I think they should focus on making fines based on % of salary, and that would be a good first step on getting the lower salaried players to buy into fixing the franchise tag (which is basically the same argument I'm making flipped to just players...why the heck would the lower valued players, who will never get tagged, vote for giving up something to help the stars avoid getting tagged). Anyway, I think this is an interesting conversation, looks like I was wrong most likely on the small amount the players would get of they increased the revenue a tiny but, so I am wrong on my assumption of your though process, my bad on that. I think we potentially align on this pretty closely actually, but would still want to see assurances that lower level players are seeing a fair share of the increase, and it doesn't just go to raise the salary cap allowing for more huge contracts offset by rookie deals and low minimum vetran contracts.

Come on, stop being niaeve. There's around 32 majority owners over a 5 year span and what 3000 players probably over that span. A suspension is a massive percentage of a contract for a player. The Colts owner got fined a bunch a bit back, did that hurt his wealth in any real way? No, didn't touch it. NFL player gets suspended a week, that's a crazy big percentage of his contract. The 'poor' owners are scamming you man, all of us actually. They get so many tax breaks, so many, and pass it forward by squeezing your opportunity by all the hand outs they get. And we complain about a dude literally killing himself trying to make it so they damn owners don't keep them in their place through arbitrary crap that they themselves do consistently. Please, wake up.

Don't they get suspended for every single one of those and lose money while suspended?

? They're talking about minimizing things like having one team disproportionately play more teams coming off byes than other teams, not strength of schedule stuff.

I think his knee issues are impacting his game much more than being lazy. Watch how he breaks out of curl routes, he has to take 4 or 5 real tentative steps consistently to turn around with a super wide base. Looks like a washed beer league player, and no way that's an effort thing, not entirely at least, he has no explosion in his legs left. It's actually really sad and unfortunate, and hopefully he can keep out of the same mind traps that ended up overtaking Hardy.

I just got to the bottom of page one, so not sure if it came out on the next 5 pages, but gotta be Gentlemen right?

It's also about figuring out how to take the test. So there are 50 questions, say 27 can be done in 5 seconds by basically everyone, some can be done in 5 seconds by some people and others take a lot longer and there are some that take 10 minutes for the smartest, most knowledgeable person alive. If you put a few of the harder problems early, and the real tough one at like #15, then a 27 therefore shows you know how to take a test, because you skipped problems and are a good test taker. That said, you could be really smart, get through the first 14 and just have to figure out the #15 problem...not necessarily a bad thing, not near as bad if you get a 13 and skipped all the hard ones (having the desire to solve complex problems is a good thing to have, but doing that on this test probably shows you have adhd, or did not prepare for the test in anyway...the lack of prep would be more of a concern by far).

Prob depends on how the deal is structured. Goeff is still on his rookie deal, so if they front loaded Gurley, it would make the last years of the deal cheaper for the qb contract, than waiting to resign him when his contract expires.

Roethlisberger

Six wins, all loses basically one score games and many lost in heart breaking whoever had the ball last fashion, and the team looking much better in all phases especially oline. I would take that.

Leohnard had a real nice career.

Jim Leonhard anywhere near the top of this list?

Third place schedule impacts two games, that's it, you play 7/8ths the same schedule as the rest of you division. Plus teams going from third in a division to first each year is really common (except the AFC East...fml).

No, they accelerated the dead cap, there is a difference. It's like if you have credit card debt and continue paying the minimum due and keep living a somewhat decent lifestyle vs suffering for two years and paying it all off and living a real nice lifestyle long term.
