Ill try another shot at push back on the name factor... if debating a guy like Big Ben, how often do you hear reference to Peyton regarding him being worthy or his accomplishments? I think we all agree the dude isn’t in the all time great list with manning and Brady Or even the Rodgers and Brees tier.... but he’s clearly in the next group with Ben, rivers, etc... how many get in from the era? His rings help a lot but he like 6th(?) on the list depending on where you draw the lines on the era/generation. that’s one of the most important factors- who he slots up against each year. Would be the only first ballot guy and no noteworthy list to clear works in his favor, while if Brees brady and Ben all leave the same year it definitely hurts Ben. If manning does go year 1 he might wait a minute though.

part of the problem is tech is changing faster than our govt can really keep up- both due to slow processing times of laws and poor comprehension of technology by our politicians. a full scale overhaul of the institutions regulating would be needed before you could even begin to discuss privacy

if he wasn’t compared to Peyton he might actually be viewed more favorably.

his best stretch by a long shot was here.

one would think but we saw replacement refs and before that an uncapped year sooooo not having money rollover wouldn’t shock

that may come after the open on 2021 fiscal year though

I don’t hate Sherman the guy, but I would enjoy seeing Sherman the character get torched. By pretty much anyone but tyreek.

alex Smith!

I have to think he’s getting at that (less so Watson) McGee clements McKelvin stretch. Though a few receivers were in there too. In theory, having a back or WR makes a lot of sense. We’ve just too often had 1 dimensional guys like Roberts or even Easley. Our WR depth hasn’t been good enough to burn roster spots.

664 return yards underscores how little value the position has. That’s 41 yards per game when taking a knee (or tossing the ball at the ref) gets you 25 I’m all about Tannehill getting the feather in his cap come payday. Not a big deal but let some team pay him for the honor instead of josh getting the bump.

If they didn’t make the trade I don’t think anything’s changed that would justify a big jump in valuing him. id be down for the move but don’t see it happening

Or he just got high/drunk and did something dumb. I’ve always suspected that while his home life is likely a bit dramatic that night was probably mostly youthful indiscretion and not psychotic break.

I haven’t quantified it but I bet he bails with his back to the line less often

I mean it surely didn’t help but you can’t count on three guys that haven’t proven it to all be above their average. that said I’m surprised zay went from heavy load of ok play to totally not functioning.

At this point I’d almost never return. It feels like punts constantly have penalties and kicks rarely pay off. Wades classic pint catcher is fine. I’d venture that player would rank better than average just fair catching 90% avoid tragic shanks/blocks on punts, boot it through the end zone and kick FGs about average and paired with the no return returner and you are practically top 10

he played well but in his 6 games he kind of alternated quality- odd games 1 TD in 3 weeks, the even games 8 tds in 3 weeks. generally efficient but defense and Mike Thomas did A LOT for him. heck the Dallas win was 12-10 for instance.

I think the issue is defining fine too. He’s not a strength but you can be a successful team with him still. He’d be a little overpaid but whatever, as long as you aren’t counting on him to be an above average guy. we need 1-2 more pass catchers above him. If he prevents you from going after that he is a problem,

point whizzed right by you and you were too stubborn to realize it

you could argue two heavily invested in passing games reached the big game just as easy. You know, if you were trying to cherry pick a point. which is kind of the thing- super bowl teams tend to be good all over. That’s how you get the best record in the regular season, bye and home field etc... we can invest like that for a bit. We wasted a year of it here though.

Will I get called out if I DCtom this guy?

Best part of that flag is not being a throw. He’s really going to end today with quite the stat line

I wasn’t faulting the decision but if you are the HOF coach and your owner took the decision from you for a sense of loyalty and then in the same year the owners guy might leave by choice and your guy gets his first ring... he’d be understandably frustrated I think

if it’s a true story, BB really has right to be mad and it’d be extra amusing if Brady walks away from the team this year

yea, shame on a guy going to a super bowl contender for a huge pay check. And then end up being in the biggest games

which Whaley players had his stench and which just needed to be hosed down to be good?
