Mr. WEO

Empirically? Well, I can't verify any of this. Nor can I know if you would really have a neighbor torturing dogs in his back yard over for a beer when he got out. I just don't believe any reasonable person would.

settle down. none of the bolded matters. you wouldn't have that guy anywhere near you after he got out. you certainly wouldn't invite him over. That's all.

If he was a guy you worked with or your neighbor doing that in his back yard, you wouldn't be saying it's cool to come to your office now and chat up the fellas or knocking on your door to hang out after he did his time. Hero worship is stupid. OJ was busy?

why is this POS around the facility? "Finding that spark" for this low life meant electrocuting dogs. what possessed the FO to wake up this week and say: "we should bring in Mike Vick as a guy to chat up the fellas"...? wtf

There is absolutely no chance that Josh is lighting into guys "behind closed doors". None. He's not that kind of guy--and that's OK. To be that guy you have to have some authority to do so. If you are going to point your finger in a teammates face, it better have at least 1 ring on it. Brady, Jordan, Kobe famously did this--and it worked. They absolutely made their teammates better. Hyde? Tre?...Dawkins????!! Nah. Perhaps Miller, if he's around.

Meh. Eagles were 1-5 in playoff games with him as starter. In 2017, they won 10 of their next 12 games, including the SB, with Peters's backup in his spot. In his 12 years there, the Eagles had 7 winning seasons. When he missed the season in 2012, they won 4 games. When he played half the season in. 2020, the won 4 games (1 with him starting). The Bills would have had no different history had he finished his career there. He's waiting until week 18.....

How about Chad Kelly?

11/11ths

I agree with this. He would jump at an extension. You would have to take him for a 4th--Bills have no viable backup right now.

Ok you didn't initially respond to the other poster by saying that you specifically meant Basham... "You would trade a 2nd rounder from 2 years ago at a premium position for a 7th? I'm glad you are not GM" But your position is now that it's in some circumstances actually smart for a GM to make such a trade.

If one team does it, it should not be considered by other teams? What if it is a smart move? Still wrong?

It's the topic of this thread. A 1st rounder from 3 years ago for a 7th, so.....

here we go again....

Beane doesn’t pay or supervise Tasker. people who tune into OBL regularly doesn’t want objectivity. They are fans listening to what they want to hear.

Which one was he now?

Now he just n Ed’s a nickname to describe his smoothness…

Oh there were a few here who were hitting it HARD for Lance…even as Purdy and the 9ers were running the table second half of last year.

It has never been done like this before--one day, 1200 cuts.

I guess. But the "new rules" haven't prevented anyone from challenging his record. Just a sthe old rules didn't get him to his record any easier. It just allowed some QBs to take bigger hits now and then.

Maybe you aren't sure who the OBL "analysts" work for? Pointing out the answer to that isn't really "cynical".

Then every GM knows this--hence they will wait for Tuesday.

Wrong--see Gunner's take above. 6 QBs took at least 40 sacks last year---lots of sacks to be had. Had nothing to do with rules change. It took Smith a mind blowing 19 seasons and 279 games to get to that 200 sacks. Von Miller would easily pass 200 if he played 19 seasons---but there is zero chance he will. These guys get paid so much money they have no reason to keep playing like that.

For that amount saved, you keep a guy like Lewis. That's 1/1000th of the cap.
