Zero chance for Morse. No need.

So now I have two dogs because happy wife, happy life! So far, so good. Lots of training and behavior correction in our near future

It's totally possible, injuries aside, a reason for this move is that they want Ford immersed in the scheme, learning what the guard he potentially will play next to thinks, does, feels, etc. Agreed. In the Embedded series, you clearly see Beane view him as a Taxe when Carolina moves up...they wouldn't abandon it this quickly imo

Why is it so difficult to imagine regression from a quarterback? You think that level of play is sustainable? I'm not arguing with your assessment that he has a tremendous first year. But it still was a single season and that doesn't necessary grant you similar status to Tom Brady. He has lots to prove

Trying to iron it down into many specific categories gets even trickier. Are you going off of the QBs current abilities? Wentz is equal in skill to Dak? Mahomes had one, albeit FANTASTIC year, but is elite? I still think Goff, trubisky, Mahomes, etc are still as unknown as, say, Allen. You can project their career path based on a small sample size but the Law of Large Numners tells us it's not a great prOjextion. Regardless of your classifications, I'll still take the unproven AFC QBs than NFC

Which conference do you think has stronger QB play? Like many have said, the tides are changing. With that in mind, it is certainly interesting to look at the long term projection for AFC/NFC QBs. Note: For this process, I’m looking at a players career and situation as a whole, including past, present and future. https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchartpos/QB AFC- Untouchables: Brady The Greats: Ben, Luck, Rivers, It is what it is: Carr, Dalton, Flacco, Mariota, Foles Up and Coming: Allen, Darnold, Mayfield, Mahomes, Rosen, Jackson, Watson Conference Summary: 4 upper echelon QBs, a hand full of veteran guys who stare mediocrity down the barrel, and 7 young guns, some of which have the potential to be greats. NFC- Untouchables: Brees, Rogers The Greats: Eli, Russell, Newton It is what it is: Ryan, Stafford, Cousins, Winston, Prescott, Garoppolo Up and coming: Wentz, Haskins, Trubisky, Murray, Goff Conference Summary: 5 upper echelon QBs, 3 of which are on their way out the door. 6 that I could care less for. 5 up and coming, young players that the jury is still out on. Findings and Thoughts: The AFC has the brighter group of young, up and coming players IMO. Mahomes leads the wAy with his stellar breakout year. Allen, Darnold, Mayfield and Watson have all shown potential to be game changers and carry a team. Rosen and Jackson round out the class, carrying potential, but in a less than ideal situation for both. Though this group is collectively less experienced and developed than the NFC, I think they hold the torch. The NFC young guns, lead by MVP hopeful Wentz, has a pocket of more established players with some complete unknowns. Wentz, despite his MVP caliber play at times, cannot stay healthy. Goff and Trubisky have both taken huge strides in the right direction. How much of that improvement was schematic (McVay) or feeding off of a fantastic defense? The rookies I have little hope for. I think they’re positioned in sub-par situations (specifically, Haskins) and are in for a troubling couple of years. In 10 years from now, how many of those AFC or NFC guys will still be around, sitting on top of the "Untouchable" or "Great" categories? So what say you? Do you disagree with my assessments of current and projected careers? Do you feel similarly or differently to my view of the AFC QBs?

Predictable and in line with every other media outlet. Your dark horse in John Brown? Way to go out on a ledge...

I have a league with 10 friends and each year the new league champion can propose new rules that have to be voted for by 6 of 10 owners to invoke (point increase, bench, IDP, etc). My one ####### of a friend, who talks so much trash and undoubtedly always finishes poorly, swears he will bring the auction to our league. These past two years, league winners have brought auction to a vote just to piss him off, with final votes ending 9 to 1 in consecutive years. Maybe next year.

Late round flier, at best. Depending on the format (I'm in a few this year), Allen will likely float between someone's bench and the waiver wire.

I was responding to a post where traffic was being discussed.

The Boss is real interested in a great Pyrenees- poodle female mix that is currently with a local foster family. I dog walk/sit/board in the summers, so he has had many overnight visitors and guests. They never have issues, but he definitely gets along better with some than others. On one hand he plays non-stop and couldn't seem more happy. On the other, certain dogs he will simply coexhist with, which is not my intended result.

About 3 years ago, my wife and I adopted a 50 lb beagle/Sheppard mix who has worked out wonderfully. Everything from sleeping to walking, eating, watching TV and playtime have been great. I was apprehensive at the time, having just moved into a new home, knowing all the work and time we wanted to put into it. Despite those feelings, my dog has been a fantastic addition to our family. He is easy going, blends with our schedule and feeds off our steady routine. Having just watched another dog this past week, we saw how great it could be for our dog to have another canine pal to play with. Specifically speaking, we wondered how the permanent addition of another dog would improve his quality of life while we are both at work (normal 8 hour days alone). Again, I'm weary of a change, as I've grown to love the routine, situation and set up we currently have. Am I being selfish? Should I cave and give the okay and hope for the best? Should I stand Pat and not jeapordize the success we've had from this adoption? What say you? Anyone adopt a second pup after a successful first? Thoughts?

Sabres parking can be simple or a nightmare. For those who don't mind walking, you can find pretty cheap or even free parking and hoof it to the stadium. If you want to be closer, you are forsaken to the congested crowd of 18 thousand plus all trying to go the same way on a single street. A DT standium with the current infastructure is not practical IMO.

Idk if this has been covered, but I've seen a lot about the rebirth of the city in this thread. Despite all the growth in business and renovations we see at face value, it is important to note that the City of Buffalo is grossly behind budget. In fact, the past few school years they have had to borrow for the Buffalo Public School accounts just to make their payments/bills. So I ask, with a clear deficit and Mayor Brown refusing to raise taxes, how exactly is this stadium being paid for?

Last year they broadcast this live on WGR or something similar IIRC. Anything like that this year?

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Likely wouldn't have made the roster anyways

If you really needvto cut the edge, pour a Manhattan. Works for me 8 times outta 7

Workshop? Just a car port? Storage? Gym? Italian living room? My wife and I got to talking about garages and how it’s very interesting that people in the same culture use them so vastly different. For us, we use ours for everything. It’s our main entrance, packed with tools and miscellaneous items for storage. It's shelter for her car. We leave the door open 80% of the day. This is in total contrast to our neighbor who is likely a serial killer. Garage door is always closed unless pulling in his car and he immediately closes it after he is inside before evening getting out or shutting off the car. On the few rare occasions I’ve seen in, it is completely bare. Just a large room with nothing hanging, no storage, no beer fridge, nothing. So...garage. Whats it to ya?

Worker stints are a very historic and genuine issue with labor unions. My situation is different in that we have a set schedule, deadlines , etc. I couldn’t imagine that as an employee, let alone an employer burning pay checks on no one working. Like most things, there are pros and cons

I’m a proud union member and appreciate all they do. Little know the hours of negotiations, meetings, arbitration and planning that goes into providing safety and security to those in my field. As many have stated, unions provide the balance to employers in order to “level the playing field” for workers. It only takes a single instance to appreciate the support and protection a union/backed contract can provide. Our Union just like many others, does not, and should not, protect against incompetence in the work place. However, as some have mentioned, they can make termination difficult. But I firmly believe the Average Joe isn’t even aware of what a modern union does, stands for or protects.

I reckon the uppers shall come on today. This should make things a little more interesting with the OL/DL competition. If you're planning on going, don't forget it is a ticketed practice! Thanks for all the twitter updates from many, many posters. I love the feed. Keep 'em coming!

I used to love his write ups and still appreciate the time he puts into these things. However, I’ve been enjoying the tweet updates more that these write ups lately because of the color Astro puts into them. They are overly positive with his own opinions clearly written into them. That’s not to say they’re right or wrong, good or bad, but I just like to know they line ups, plays, etc.

Mahomes vs. Allen comparison can end yesterday, as well. Drives me nuts “we could have had Gronk, Von Miller, Russel Wilson...” Josh Allen is our guy and I want him to win football games. Idc about anyone else and how far they can throw it. No offense to the OP
