Probably the best assessment of seen. As a backup, if you just avoid disaster, you are considered to have potential. He really didn’t do a ton, but he avoided a meltdown... but he really didnt do a lot.

So far behind he's ahead!

One of those that feels crazy to read but good on the guy for chasing his dream. Hopefully it’s all he hopes, and he doesn’t regret passing up on this opportunity.

I’d be curious to see if the opinions here match what the metrics tell them... are fans quick to hate jerry but likewise quick to click?

I don’t think that it’s inherently great or terrible for the team. Ultimately you are sourcing talent, motivation, and synergy. If hes drawn inherently to guys that hold shared values that can be great for the right group... If he is irrationally loyal to guys he personally associates with his own morals instead of merit based evaluations it can be a disaster.

You can stay put if you want. I don’t particularly care. It’s your life, man. Just seemed you were more unhappy with the state than most so maybe changing your own situation would be more feasible than changing the state as a whole. I’m just here reading football news. You brought your opinions on politics and your life situation into the thread on gambling.

Im not into most of the sins (gambling, drugs, prostitution etc...) but it’s not my place to govern someone else’s morality. As long as you don’t actively hurt me or mine - go have fun. I’m not even huge on the “tax the hell out of it” angle. If the practice ofsaid sincreates costs to society, just try to balance those line items with a fair tax.

Its a big ol country with lots lots of rural states without a city on the coast... if you think it’s a pressing issue

What’s tricky in these is whether they are throwing out points for games in a total vacuum or trying to craft a full season record. id venture if asked to pick individual games scores I’d likely land at a lower total but think that a lot of those would be 60-40 splits where we end up almost .500 despite picking losses across a lot of them (if that kind of makes sense) when projecting the win-loss record I tend to do odds and total that up (40% chance of winning a game being 0.4 wins in my total prediction). Some years the gap between the two methods can be pretty wide for me.

For an average team, no he’s not. When you add him, a couple WRs and a rb and he’s replacing a train wreck... well... it’s not hard to imagine they could be relatively average instead of downright terrible. It’s practically small new offense, so YOY comparisons only go so far.

After 20 years of each... and with them fielding a HOF qb and us with our group... it’s not like they are being mean girls or super lazy. They have been batting a pretty good average with that set of predictions

Nashville has gotten very hot as a destination- it’s replaced New Orleans for a lot of people looking to hit the southeast without doing a beach

Its good to check the boxes that can be checked in practice but certainly doesn’t mean you will succeed. I like to think that the odds of the guy that aces a test like this are a bit better than a dude that fails it though

Im just worried that if he’s watching here that closely that his twitter monitoring might be slipping. Someone could’ve slipped in with a fresh thread while he was busy defending a win from a month ago

I cant see it. Can someone please explain what’s in the photo?

Impressively quick recall and reply

I think a few people may be taking two bills drive a bit too seriously. A well intentioned dude made an accidental post. im not sure which is sillier - people that genuinely were upset enough to try to teach him a lesson, or him for thinking that type of person mattered. Give him a good natured joke and move on. I know I’m looking forward to the use of the homer drooling responses in future threads

Can we get a ruling on whether this needed a new thread, and if so what board it should be on ?

See @Foxx — they can never steal your identity. We get you here.

Fair question. Until given reason otherwise I tend to start at “probably just happened to find it when playing in the database for something else” on timing for stuff like this. Then follow to “reporter probably thought he’d get clicks” before jumping to ideas like hit piece. But there definitely could be more underlying the motivation. I just don’t give a ton of credit to local sports reporters having grand plans in most cases.

It feels like you went pretty far out of your way to misrepresent the stats. To go so far as to note wentz sat some 4th quarters in order to create the impression of being genuine.... while at the same time neglecting to mention that wentz threw a total of 48 passes across the first two full seasons that you baked into his total games number... well... that’s the kind of move that brings down the quality of the board and if I were a moderator would get you a conversation on the side Yup- when a guy is crushingit like that but its not showing in either the win total or yardage you have to wonder what the hell is going on... playing really safe, and efficient football from behind isn’t a great situation. He had the stat line of a guy protecting leads not a guy leading comebacks... and unfortunately didn’t have the leads. It’s being unwilling to take a shot to win the game.

The problem is that may actually qualify as a starter on our WR depth chart.

Thats kind of why I was leaning towards “not all news demands action” this is one of those where your own lens about how society handles he said-she said will likely determine what you think of this guy and case. Because of that I encourage both sides to ask some questions, remain open minded, and likely be ready to move on without toooo much noise unless we get a surprise and lots of details come out

Why even post it if you aren’t going to actually share

Just because you don’t know the evidence doesn’t mean the allegations without merit
