But then they would learn that some of these 'small market' teams aren't such small markets.

Have they announced who will be filling in? I feel like that will go a long way, as I doubt people are going to sign up just because those guys are out. The new guys need to be a draw of some kind. If they are new blood it may be best to make a few of their first pieces free so people can get a taste of the new writing prior to their pieces getting gated.

Just my opinion, but that would seem to apply to the free to read w/ advertisements model. The paywall model changes the mindset. Now the customer needs to determine whether you put out enough material that they want to click to justify the fee. People didn't want to pay to click Sully's stuff. Paywall seems a lot like the gym membership model. Don't really care if you actually show up, just as long as we're providing you with enough to justify renewing your membership.

I am semi-confident in Dawkins at LT and Groy at C. Everything else is wither a ? or a negative grade. The FO seems to love Mills' intangibles, which scares me because Mills at RT is like Tolbert on a swing route... Also, maybe Daboll was just being coy, or maybe he hadn't had experience with our OL yet, but he said he was going to change blocking schemes depending on the opponent. Our OL had proven to be competent in the power scheme, but not so much in zone. Maybe that's changed with some of the turnover, but ideally you stick with your players' strengths until you have the players that are versatile enough to do what you want.

I hope it's 16 and I hope it's because he's far and away the best QB on the roster and one of the best in the league.

Just my opinion, but they would have won the game in 2015 if it was Dalton and not McCarron. Dalton was on fire that year until he got injured.

I know this isn't directed at me at all, but I'd be lying if it didn't make me smile a bit since I factor things like that in.

As in the top 5 in Yards per Touch? 2015: Carson Palmer, Big Ben, Andy Dalton, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees 2016: Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Kirk Cousins, Dak Prescott, Drew Brees 2017: Jimmy Garoppolo, Philip Rivers, Drew Brees, Deshaun Watson, Alex Smith, Matt Ryan, Jared Goff <-- gave top 7 since 2 played less than 8 games

Sounds like you were anti-Tuel.

@transplantbillsfan I've got the numbers with positive rushes factored in as well as sack yards lost and pass yards, FWIW. 2015: 12th of 37 at 6.52 yards per touch 2016: 25th of 33 at 5.95 yards per touch 2017: 27th of 37 at 5.40 yards per touch Cumulative: 25th of 39 at 5.95 yards per touch The folks who excel in this particular stat are still the guys who get it done in the pocket. Top 5 cumulative since 2015 are Matt Ryan, Big Ben, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Kirk Cousins. and the Yards per Touch stat is a significant factor in my QB rating system.

Really? We're comparing our 5th rounder to the 1st overall pick 2 decades ago? Arguably the greatest regular season QB ever?

Assuming the 2nd is about Allen? Twitter's blocked at my office

I'm not the one asking for the thread to be locked. You want the thread to go away? Do your part and stop posting in it.

Be the change you want to see. Stop posting in this thread.

Why take shots at him after he is no longer part of the team? Especially ones that are blatantly false and easily proven to be? I'm not saying you specifically have done that, but most people aren't just popping up randomly to defend anyone. It's prompted by someone else who usually feels the need to take an unnecessary dig to continue to drive the agenda they've been pushing for the past 3 years. He's gone and people need to let it go, but certain folks on both sides just can't seem to stop bringing him up.

Yep. And by the looks of it he had a hell of a game. http://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=321007025

He was 1/16 for 7 yards when rushed...

He'll need to find out how Fitz consistently injures the QBs ahead of him without being blamed!

Well, if I had to guess they mean:

I'll take an 84 yarder in an actual game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EqEUD3jJLE

My Edmunds jersey is supposed to come in today

I'll take you up on that whenever they play my Hokies again! Fun fact, Tyrod's first live game action in college was in Death Valley against LSU (2007)

The only way the teams play against each other this year is if they meet in the playoffs...

That's talking crap? Honestly, what athlete that has been traded/let go doesn't want to prove their last team wrong? Look at Shady the first time we faced Philly.

Updated my numbers and over the past 3 years the only team with a defense more bipolar than ours is the Texans. Opponents scored 14.7 PPG against us in wins which is good for 7th in the league, and opponents scored 31.0 PPG against us in losses which is good for DFL 32nd.
