I see Miami as. .500 team at best this season. I think they’re league average, but playing better than average competition most weeks (given AFC East schedule this season. Was really impressed with Robinson at RB last night. He played A style like what I thought Moss was going to be for us.

I’m not sure there’s a position on that list I wouldn’t take the KC side of at this point... that can change in a year, but nearly every KC player listed is proven, and we’re working with “potential” at this point. I think we are considerably closer to Houston than KC from an offensive standpoint. KC is steps ahead of everyone. As for comparing Brown to Watkins in production. 1 was the primary target in the passing game while the other was the 3rd option at best. This year Brown will be a 2/3 and in a more similar role to Watkins.

It would push back his contract status a year and gives him no more leverage. He loses his age 25 year - we still have his 5th year option and can franchise him. Is he going to hold out at that point and lose another year or prime health? I don't see the benefit for him from a negotiation standpoint for him.

maybe there’s a compromise. Are you willing to report to public health and quarantine for 14 and/or get tested after attending the game?

Should you have the freedom of choice to drive drunk? I'm all for freedom of choice when the chooser accepts all risk. The problem with drunk driving and not following Covid guidelines is that your personal risk tolerance can have direct impact on others that didn't "choose" for you to take on a risky behavior.

That $50 won't get you very far when every beer requires food too... but thanks for the offer.

Didn't Bank Bros offer $10mil for the naming rights to the Miami Heat's arena? If so, a football stadium should be worth more.

Is DC Defenders off of the table?

Washington Sentinels - Shane Falco at QB

Summary: In high school he was a late developer. Did a semester of JuCo. Wyoming wanted Eric Dungy, but he signed with Syracuse instead. Came to Wyoming and wasn't intended to be the starter, but Senior got injured so he started Week 2. Broke his collar bone 13 plays in and got to sit a season and learn. Came back stronger the next season and won some big games. Mature, smart, good football IQ, good guy, believes in himself and knows who he is and isn't trying to be something different. His arm strength makes up for a lot, but needed work on his footwork and was careless running the ball. He needs to "wrangle in his game". He's currently learning that he doesn't have to do it all himself.

About right - he'll be an "Average" caliber starting NFL QB - something we haven't consistently had in a long time. He will continue to make plays that wow you, and plays that have you scratching your head. For the next 8 years he'll be a Top 15 QB +/- 5 spots in any given year.

I’m holding off, at least for games I had originally circled like Vegas. I’m not convinced the airlines will be as eager to give refunds or credits 5 months from now if games are cancelled/fans not allowed/seats limited. I don’t know how trip insurance will work in the future and I already have flight credits from other cancelled trips I have to use by next winter. stubhub has said it will give credits too, but I don’t really need $1200 in stubhub credit (base price for 4 tickets at this point).

There is a ship on the plate

We get it - He's very good. That said, there's no way you're paying (2) 1sts for a RB. I get that he's a hybrid, but his usage has been unreal for two seasons straight and history tells us that doesn't last forever. Capable RBs are a dime a dozen, and the difference between a capable RB (3rd-4th round) and McAffrey isn't worth two potential salary restricted cornerstones.

The XFL has shown that NFL caliber RBs are a dime a dozen... QBs are not. They also need to pipe in some crowd noise for the TV audience. I know they're not playing in front of large crowds, but it's eery hearing how silent the crowd noise is on the TV broadcast.

I was happy that they identified the guy they wanted and moved up to get him. In the moment, if that had been Rosen instead of Allen, I would have been equally happy. I didn't want them to settle for whoever was left over after passing on Mahomes and Watson the previous year (Jackson was an afterthought). I didn't wan't Mayfield and thought Darnold was the best of the bunch.

Until the owners start losing money, players can and should demand more money. That's the way capitalism works. We as consumers can decide enough is enough, and stop buying tickets, merchandise, apps etc and support the XFL if we're willing to accept a lower quality product. If we stop watching games on TV, their next TV deal will be less, and ownership will be able negotiate lowering the salary cap. Otherwise - accept that they're getting paid a lot more than you or I am, and good for them.

No ill will toward Shady or KC. I hope he gets to dress. - on the other hand, Watkins I openly hope fails.

While SF didn't pass often - they managed to get the ball to their Running Back or (WRs that ran the ball) in space, and they were hitting the line of scrimmage at full speed.

A TE that "sets the edge" will continue to be more valuable as the league trends toward more mobile QBs..... That said, Shaq's injury and his work ethic "held him down" in his first two seasons. He's shown two years of improvement and this regime has really helped him. If he demands top DE dollar - let him walk.

He deserves a spot on an NFL roster next year... I don’t know if that will be our team or not, but he’s proved more than capable at this level.

QBs I'd rather have for the remainder of this season: (in no order) Stafford, Mahomes, Ryan, Brees, Wilson, Watson, Brady, Cousins, Rodgers, Garoppolo, Tannehill?, Jackson Qbs I'd rather have for the next 3 years. Mahomes, Wilson, Watson, Rodgers, Jackson, Murray? Qbs I'd rather have for the next decade: Mahomes, Wilson, Watson, Murray(?)

By definition a fan (fanatic) is not rational. It's good to have something in your life that you can love unconditionally and be irrational about. There's more than enough other factors in day to day life that require analysis and reality based thinking. Sunday and the Bills - not one of those things for me.

I’ll take Adams from GB as my #1.... The rest aren’t in the playoffs, which reinforces the notion that we still have room to build.
