After a full wipe and reset they absolutely cannot afford to reset in 2 years.

Well the Falcons didn't trade for AJ Green, so that'd be silly.

Apparently a portion of the competition committee believes that more ties in the regular season will create fewer tiebreaker scenarios for wildcard spots, and they feel that regular season ties are a better tiebreaker than some of the comparative record stuff that's in place.

Wonder how the timing works. Is it additional cuts earlier (like when the 75 man was) or are they keeping the 53 man cut date?

maybe we want to see how Logan's progressing before committing?

Teams could not make an effort to acquire him because he was under contract; unless you're thinking trades, but nobody was going to trade for someone that was potentially going to be on the open market. His agent put out feelers in case he was cut and got responses, but in the end he renegotiated to stay here due to several factors. If you think money is the only piece to determining these decisions you are mistaken. Family, relationships with players and staff, the current offer on the table, potential future earnings, time until the next contract, etc., all play into whether a move is worth it for the other hypothetical contracts. The renegotiated contract was in the ballpark of other potential options, but on the lower end. Other factors made that deficit on this contract opportunity worth it.

The rules allow them to be

He used one example, which is different than having only one. Seattle would be another, for instance.

Feels more like "Here's more responsibility and more money to go with it. If you are successful, and opportunities come up for you because of it, we won't stop you from pursuing them."

Because he was in LA for the Rookie Premier that I posted a picture of

That's not why.

Design is more in line with your hopes. We just have to wait and see on execution

Based on what little I know, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised this year. (assuming healthy folks, of course)

It'll be paired with rollouts, to start at least, so he can be comfortable with an escape route.

And Sammy has had ~350 more yards and 5 more TDs in 10 fewer games over those same 2 years. Why do you care if Sammy catches it 5 yards downfield vs 50 yards downfield?

Nah, engineering. Numbers are kind of my thing haha.

Not an excuse, but that average time includes the times he broke the pocket and bought time on his own improvising. It's part of the reason that Russ Wilson and Aaron Rodgers are also in the top 5 for longest time to throw. Brady will throw it away, Rodgers will try to buy time for his receivers. Just a difference in playstyle.

You didn't, I'm just pointing out that several teams in recent history have done well with the opposite. An elite defense and an offense that scores enough to win. You may want the elite offense, but it's hardly the only way to succeed. Also, you're using too many per's in your stat terminology. Nobody divides those numbers twice, that's why the other guy's getting confused.

Winning a Super Bowl with a poor defense is also an outlier. And I'd argue that your point would be more accurate if you said winning with a one-dimensional offense is an outlier.

They weren't outliers. They were 1 & 2 in Defensive DVOA that year, which is also a pretty good indicator for team success.

And the year before that Denver was 20th and Carolina was 25th in the same stat. Somehow they overcame it and met in the Super Bowl though.

So you believe YAC/R is a crucial stat that determines quality teams?
