  1. Greg Roman. 

     

    Colin Kaepernick - Superbowl appearance 

    Tyrod Taylor - Pro-bowl selection

    Lamar Jackson - League MVP 

     

    LJ is IMO undeniably the most athletic of the group, but they all fit the same mold that works out well in Roman's scheme. 

     

    The problem with 1 dimensional qbs like that, once teams "figure them out", its all over. A lethal pocket passer who also has mobility, that can hit anywhere on the field like Rogers JA and Mahomes are much more desirable in the modern NFL.

    Yeah, NOT happening.

     

    Shady was cut following a 2 year downward trend...from 5.4 ypa to 4.0 ypa to 3.2 ypa; from back-to-back 1000+ yd seasons to a season where he barely broke 500 yds.  Then, we drafted an RB in the 3rd.

     

    Beasley has been trending up the last 3 seasons, with last season his best ever, and the highest WR we've drafted has been   I don't see much similarity to the McCoy situation.

    Yes, agreed. On top of that CB is a McBean acquisition, Shady came in under the old leadership. 

     

    It would be absolutely foolish IMO to cut that guy coming off the season he and Josh had. We need all the firepower we can hang on to.

    Could you rewrite the first two lines in English please? 

     

    Also, have you actually read the NFL's protocols for non vaccinated players?  There is no requirement to "lock yourself in your room without visitors".

    Sure! 

     

    #1: its been well documented that in our state (NY), the Supreme Leader (the governor) defied all common sense and reason by ordering nursing homes to take in patients that were tested and confirmed positive for Covid-19. I bring this up because its an example of a case in which 99.9% of objective people would look at this and say "that's dumb". Similarly to the current state of affairs in which you have a governing body making idiotic decrees that defy all common sense with respect to a group of people whos job is to smash themselves up

     

    #2. "

    Per the memo, any player who is not fully vaccinated will continue to be subject to:

    Daily testing, mask wearing (including in the team facility) and physical distancing

    A quarantine if he has a high-risk exposure to someone with COVID-19

    Significant restrictions when traveling, including required isolation in the team hotel and relegation to a separate team plane" .

     

    Am I misinterpreting what "required isolation in the team hotel" means?

    There have been a number of outbreaks in skilled nursing facilities and care homes where the residents were 90% vaccinated, but the staff only ~50%.  The staff brought the infection in with them and objectively and factually infected the residents they cared for and other staff members (including some who were vaccinated).  People died who didn't need to.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Okay, now do all residents of the skilled nursing facilities in NY that died unnecessarily because someone threw all common sense out the window and decided that the correct course of action was to force those facilities into taking in and cross contaminating covid positive patients with the general population. 

     

    The point is, there is a level of abject stupidity that defies common sense at play here. Ie "you must lock yourself in your room without visitors so you don't get sick inorder to destroy yourself out on the field on prime-time tv." 

     

    They are creating a caste system and punishing anyone who dares to go against it. 

  5. I'm with Cole on this. The guy has been an absolute warrior and will likely live out the rest of his days in chronic pain as a consequence of making the conscious decision to play a violent game. To me this is no different. At this point the vaccine is so prevalent that anyone who's at risk and doesn't have it has made the decision and is willing to risk the consequences. At this stage, the whole "You're not allowed to leave your room" thing is insanity.

  6. Upstate NY technically refers to the region surrounding NYC where many people fleeing the hustle and bustle relocated to while still maintaining their jobs in the city. Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, possibly as far up as Orange are considered "Upstate". Beyond that you have other regions - Captial Region, Catskills, Adirondacks, Southern Tier, Western NY etc etc.
