D. L. Hot-Flamethrower

Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing Rosen play.

FIFY

Alot to not like about this deal. Establishes you get yourself off a team if you're a big enough diva. It also sets a ridiculous market for a CB. And, one that will undoubtedly get paid as well.

To be honest, after perusing their stats, they need alot! Run D is good and pass rush decent, the rest not so much. And, McVay's offense doesn't look good anywhere right now.

Wow just wow that sounds desperate

Another unilateral Bruce Allen move?

You really thought EJ deserved more of a chance to grow? I don't think I've ever heard that from anyone who thought that before. I mean without using TDs and Ints and so on, If I remember correctly it was pretty obvious that he was as good or bad as he was going to be and getting worse.

Just out of curiosty, did you include a victory over the Bills in your 10-6 record?

This is the crux of the problem, overly technical......an NFL rules monger would say......rule 63 subsection 35 section A paragraph 3 says...if the player......blah blah blah...then its not this....for further clarification refer to appendix five C...new rule this year...you didn't know?

Not paying a backup QB that kind of money. A better thread question might be, how many QBs in the NFL would you trade Allen for right now?

Calvin Johnson wasn't bad! Just sayin. They lacked a running game is the biggest issue.

To me rating QBs deserves a great deal of attention to situational awareness. Making plays on third/fourth down, Red zone, end of the half, and especially the fourth quarter. We've all seen the garbage time, prevent defense stats that look great in a box score. If you actually watch the game you go back and see a stinker performance got them in that position to start with. I know W/L record has a huge team component to it, but if you really look at it, the greatest QBs impacted games and have won a lot of them. I can't think of a position in sports that has any more to do with winning, giving somewhat adequate resources than QB....perhaps Goalies in Hockey. But, they can only keep the team in the game, eventually you need some offense to win. For me, Stafford is a good QB, I want Allen to be great.

Agreed that would be much better. I have a friend who has officiated many sports for years. He believes that simplification and acceptance that some judgement is necessary and the only way out of the mess. He calls the NFL a reactionary league, add a rule or subsection to a rule and voila problem solved.

IMHO it's more of a rules problem. Chasing the infamous "get it right" holy grail will never happen. Some believe we need to make all rules completely objective, that's not the answer because its impossible. If you must have replay, then limit it to scoring plays. Allow and live with fact that officiating involves judgement. Do you really want them to make a marginal call that had no bearing, and was 50 yards away?

Looking out his ear hole on the way off the field!

Could probably tell the Dolphins what you're going to run in advance and it wouldn't matter.

I think that is entirely correct!

What's not to like? Torn ACL last year? Lifelong Arsenal fan?

Fair enough. I believe that an All Pro coming off an injury is much more likely to produce than the 3rd rounder, as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure an analysis of the numbers would show this as well. Anyway, we differ on this one, I think we are closer than you think.

Serious question, who has a better chance of producing the rest of the season and in the future, A.J. Green or that 3rd round pick?

The D would be elite!

Or they could lose to the Skins and look worse.

????

Also, I question when I hear some say he had 57 rec for 652 yds and 7 tds in 2018, and that was good production. The numbers themselves look ok, but on a bad team the numbers have top go somewhere by default. It doesn't make them a good player. I mean a crappy hockey team has 20 goal scorers too, that doesn't mean they're good, it means opportunity by default.

The guy suffered from not only his lack of confidence, but the lack of confidence of his teammates and coaches. At some level, you can't only make catches that are in your "sweet spot" (in his case it was a very small one). If there is a choice in a key moment the QB is going to the guy he can count on.
