Mr. WEO

Who or what in the NFL is "sharing profits with bookies"? The league isn't in a "gambling partnership". One team's "questionable call" is another team's "great calL".....

For suckers only though…

He was named NFL COTY in 1971 for the Redskins. I guess he was also GM Anyway, everything was different back then: no free agency, 17 round draft. Players often worked real jobs in the offseason, etc. It's not how teams build champions for decades now (minus LA mentioned above).

UFL has a similar agreement with Uderdog Gaming, by the way. For the NFL, It's essentially a licensing agreement. "These agreements make all four operators eligible to purchase NFL in-game commercial units and other select NFL media inventory. This past April, the NFL announced its first-ever U.S. sportsbook partnerships with Caesars Entertainment, DraftKings and FanDuel. As part of those deals, in addition to having the exclusive right to leverage NFL marks within the sports betting category, integrate into NFL O&O properties, and activate around retail and online sports betting, Caesars Entertainment, DraftKings and FanDuel may also leverage their Approved Sportsbook Operator status to secure premium NFL advertising inventory during games and around ancillary programming." It has nothing to do with refereeing....

Diggs by the end had totally messed up Josh. Forcing him throws just to shut him the F up. This was all predictable. Josh made Diggs--not the other way around. Again, players get injured--that's why extrapolation is a completely meaningless exercise. Coleman had a decent first half of the season--although nearly 1/3 of his 8 game output came in 1 game. Take out that clear outlier and you get a more accurate picture of what he did.

George Allen was a HC, not GM. Not sure what the Reagor comment means--a dig a a bad pick? That pick really slowed them down, lol. 2020 Bills draft brought Epenesa/Moss/Davis/Fromm/Hodgins/Bass. the only "keepers" (as it were) were Epenesa and Bass. Roseman's Eagles would go to 2 SBs after that draft. The Bills would be bounced by the Chiefs 4 of the next 5 years..... Drafts are generally very poor forms of prediction, thanks for confirming my point. I don't know who the Philly podcaster would be or if Roseman even talks to such. The Beane interview was with Rich Eisen, not some local yokels, questioning Beane. I thought Allen was a risky pick because he didn't play much high level college ball. He was raw and seemed pretty poorly coached at Wyoming. Lots of bad habit left uncorrected. I liked him better than the predictable disaster that was Manuel a few years before.

Les Snead is about the only GM who built a SB winner essentially outside of the draft. Written off Bishop? McD had him take 5 or fewer snaps on D in 9 or 16 games in the regular season. Talk to him. Hyde was a great Safety. Poyer was a coattail riding pile jumper (see him in Miami). Beane wasn't involved in signing them. Beane gave up a 1st round pick for predictable headache Diggs. Predictably, the Bills had enough of him and got a 2nd for him at least. That's better than he did with Elam--a solid bust who, by his 3rd season, McD hardly played him at all. Beane turned that 1st round pick into a 5th and 7th. Nice. Shakir is the second best (really, 1 of 2) decent receivers Beane has drafted in 8 years. Slot receiver though---he was 5th in YAC (receivers only), not 2nd (the Bills as a team were 2nd). Not sure of the importance of that 1 stat. Coleman is a WR3 in a room stuffed now with WR3/4s. Extrapolation is a meaningless exercise. In the final 2 games of the season he had 17 targets for 5 catches and 58 yards. In the next 3 playoff games he had a total of 8 targets, 3 catches for 22 yards. No reason to believe he was going to get 750 yards if he played every regular season game. Is Andy Reid still talking about drafting Mahomes? Roseman going on about Hurts?--one or both of them have played in 5 of the past 6 SBs.

i guess

a better attitude would have made him a nicer guy, not a more skilled NFL QB

Beane will be eating lunch off of that one pick the rest of his life. WRs? Safeties? “Ok well first Let me tell you about the thought process (7 years ago) that got me to draft Josh!”…

oh, "pick" off....

wouldn't have made him a better pro prospect.

Many thought Elam's hips didn't lie back in the Spring of '22.... that didn't last

Saints and Steelers both stumbled into HOF QBs. Since then their absolutely moronic FO's have showed their true level of dysfunction. Tomlin would have been fired by now by any other team in the league. Their QB situation since Big Ben retired has been only slightly less poorly handled than it always is in Cleveland. Rooney is doddering.

that guy will need to buy the seat next to him and keep it empty. How are most of the fans going to fit in those little seats?

That would be the most efficient way for the Saints to get the #1 pick n ct year

Is this the same as “a weird strong feeling”?

Bears suck. Have so for 40 years. Pope can’t take that team from the decrepit ownership

they also say they are expected to, and do, give 110%…leaving it all on the field, playing as 1/11th and making sure they just execute while having each others’ backs because they love each other…

it’s absolutely mambo jumbo.

A priest, a rabbi and an imam walk into a bar…

I forgot he was in the league

His total payout was not 39 million--it was basically his guarantee 24.7. But yes, by all means lets look to the JAGS as the standard fro FA signings (or any FO competence at all), lol. Tebow! Bortles! Foles! Bills carried 30 million to get rid of Diggs.

had Elway fallen on his head, he'd still be as good as new.

lol too easy. A healthy Davis would be WR3 on this roster. But Beane is feverishly looking up his contacts for Beasley and "Smokey" Brown....
