He's in better shape than that French gymnast.

This is not true. It's very location dependent, but even in a lower-paying area, after expenses (gas, insurance, vehicle depreciation) you will still make more than minimum wage. And in a higher paying area, it can be fairly lucrative.

But it's not the same product, it's a much better service. When I go out of town and want to go out for drinks at night on a weekend, I tap Uber and a car is at my location in about 5-10 minutes. It also notifies me 1 minute before it arrives. With a cab it can take anywhere from 15-60 minutes at night on a weekend, and I have to keep checking the window to make sure he isn't sitting outside waiting (can't honk and wake up the neighbors). And you can forget about trying to get a cab to take you back home from the bars when it's late, that could take forever.

We're not allowed to have such things in Western New York, our politicians haven't figured out how they can profit from it yet.

So, you think that after last season ended, Fitz sat down with his agent and said "Try to get me a 1 year deal for about $12M, I want to be the 23rd highest paid QB next year?" You think the market will be hotter in 2017 than it was in 2016 for 34-year old journeyman QBs? C'mon now.

Some Boston blogger thinks Vesey is going to the Sabres.

Incorrect, they could not have got this done in March as at the time he was demanding a multi-year deal for more money. There really was no rush to sign him to a 1yr deal in June or July as training camp hasn't started in either scenario. "Dragging out the negotiation" is really inconsequential, and only served to benefit the Jets in the end. Plus they needed the time to put a hard cap figure on the Wilkerson deal to determine exactly how much money they need to free up this year. I know everyone on here wants to bash a division rival, but they came up aces with this deal.

Have to give the Jets props, they played this brilliantly. They got a team-friendly deal and didn't mortgage their future with Fitz. The Bills fan in me was really hoping to face Fitz twice a year for the next 3-4 years.

We're not running a school to train coaches. This was a graduation present from his dad.

Did Buddy Ryan bring either of his sons immediately into the NFL with zero coaching experience at any level? Hardly the same thing. Image the wisdom this 22-year old is going to bring to the locker room. In the grand scheme of things, it's hardly worth noting. But it is more bloat to an already bloated coaching staff.

Well-earned. Solid hire.

And someone was miraculously there to take the photograph. What are the odds? Exactly.

It's misdemeanor trespass from the bar thing, not new charges or anything.

Is he durable enough to play backup for the 4 games Karlos will be out? 50/50.

Look at it this way -- he's their Dareus. Sure, he has $10M more in guaranteed money, but his AAV is $19M compared to Dareus' $16M AAV. I don't want to sidetrack the discussion about who's better, and I won't dismiss $3M, but is that 3 mil that much more burdensome? On one hand Dareus' contract is praised, and on the other Miller's panned over $3M per year? I believe he's one of the top-3 defensive players in the game right now. If he can repeat what he did the last 5 years, they'll get their money's worth. If not, they can get away from that contract with little pain after 4 years, and it's a certainty that he'll never see that 6th year. For more perspective, Mo Wilkerson's deal pays him $17.2M AAV, only $1.8M off of what Miller just got. Could you imagine suggesting that we let Dareus walk, sign another DT for $8-9M, and use the leftover money to improve other positions? That thread would probably reach 50+ pages. On the other hand, if he hurts his ACL again, the team is screwed. As evidenced by New England (C.Jones), there are certainly teams not willing to make that investment, and I can see that side of the argument too.

I think they would still be very competitive. Do they win a title in your scenario? Doubtful. I'm certainly not saying he's the only reason they won, I'm saying he was the difference between a deep playoff run and a Lombardi. On-field performance aside, if anything gave me pause it would be his torn ACL.

They certainly don't win a Lombardi without him.

Wait, they hand out multiple trophies for the offseason nowadays? Can we still win one for the preseason games?

Maybe his wife was smoking weed and he just joined in because he didn't want her to feel bad?

Tell that to Hue Jackson, who lost his job with Palmer as his QB. Or maybe Dennis Allen, who rode the mighty Palmer to a 4-12 record. Arians is a damn good coach.

We don't gain anything by letting him talk to other teams, either. We're not getting a pick for him. Look, he's a very, very smart kid. Does anyone honestly think he's just winging it, and will have this sudden revelation on Aug 15? This guy has known where he wants to play all along. If it was here, he'd be signed. This whole act of "we are committed to seeing this process through and waiting until the 15th" is called lip service.

Oh, I forgot to mention, everyone can watch Episode 1 for free. Here's the link.

Yeah, right.

This is an absolute godsend for the slow month of July. It's sort of like Hard Knocks for an entire 17-week season. It doesn't quite have the editing prowess of Hard Knocks, but it's fascinating to see how a team handles the ups and downs of a year in the NFL. Bruce Arians comes across as a force, and I can't say I'm not very envious of the Cards for hiring him. It's 8 episodes and 8 hours of football in July. The only flaw is that it's on Amazon Prime which means most are not going to be able to see it.

He didn't lose a step, he lost all of them. Last year it looked like he was running in sand.
