How about the other 30 teams? Without looking them up of course.

Allen and Diggs is a perfect marriage. Diggs excels at getting open on intermediate routes, especially outside the hashes. Allen is arguably the best passer in the NFL on intermediate routes outside the hashes. I don't think Diggs and Jackson would be a particularly good fit.

Can you name the 3rd string QB of the Cardinals?

Why is it accepted that this is a reasonable argument against Josh Allen, but not against Pat Mahomes? I think certain people need to just admit their pre-draft opinion of Allen was wrong.

They actually stated in the policy that if an outbreak occurs among vaccinated players they will do their best to accommodate the affected team, and it doesn't sound like there would be any financial repercussions to those teams. The problem with a lot of the analysis I see in this thread is that people are evaluating the policy in the context of it ending covid when really we should look at it in the context of reducing the magnitude of the problem. The NFL isn't telling players to perform the impossible; it's telling them to take the best available measures to them to prevent the spread of covid in the league. And as of today the single best measure by far is to receive the vaccine. They're basically saying if you receive the vaccine you did what you could, and as a reward we will not punish you if you have bad luck and still contract the virus. And this is really a problem I see in general in these vaccine debates, that a lot of people are talking about certainties when really the discussion should be around probabilities. No one is trying to claim that the vaccine is 100% effective. We know of one player already - Emmanuel Sanders - that got the vaccine after the NFL's new policy, because he recognized that not getting it could potentially hurt the team. I assume other players in the league will follow the same logic. So in that respect the policy is successful in reducing the magnitude of the problem.

Why is it a misstep?

I won't lie, I immediately thought about that. Can you imagine our offense with possibly the top 2 WRs in the league? I think more likely though they would tag and trade him.

Vernon Butler would be my guess. Especially with Star coming back I think he is expendable.

So, irrespective of anyone's thoughts on covid or the vaccines, is anybody here really going to defend Cole's decision to publicly out one of his teammates being sent home with a positive test? That's the line where I think I'm comfortable with the team just cutting him and moving on, as much as I hate losing a good player.

Currently we're a 6.5 point favorite. That's pretty big for a week 1 game. I just don't know how Pittsburgh will block anybody with a new starter at every position on the offensive line, all of which are average players at best. It's hard to win football games without a decent offensive line. Their chance of winning will come down to completely stifling our offense to keep the game low scoring and the ball bouncing their way a few times. I think talent wise they are a .500 team.

I'd rather they sign him than the Chiefs. The Chiefs might really hurt at pass rush this year which bodes well for us.

So do you think if Brady and Mahomes traded teams in the Super Bowl, the Chiefs would have won? Because Brady is a "winner"? I think that's crazy.

Wow he had quite the night. Crashed his car at 1AM. Walked all the way to the house and tried to break in an hour later. The cops came and sicced a police dog on him to take him down when he resisted arrested. Presumably he also tried to kidnap Mike Tyson's tiger somewhere along the way.

Today I learned that multiple people know Richard Sherman's SAT score by heart. Which is weird, because it isn't something I've ever ever thought to look up. What's the story there?

Yep, Hollister last year had a 5.0% drop rate, only 1.7% in 2019. Also 0 fumbles both years. Knox had a 9.1% drop rate last year, and 20.0% in 2019. He also had 2 fumbles last year. So if Hollister is just a "run of the mill" athletic TE, that is definitely an upgrade. Ideally Knox will just take a step but I'm not banking on it.

I see that as an upgrade on what we had last year. If Knox doesn't progress, Hollister is a better player.

TE1. The position was a major weakness last year and I believe Hollister can push Knox for a starting job. Hopefully one of the two steps up.

I wish he had said the same thing about Allen. Could have killed two stones with one bird.

If Beasley wants to play he is 100% making the team. Anyone who says McKenzie is in the same tier as him is delusional, and I like McKenzie.

Except of course when it comes to the Chiefs there isn't a debate. Tyreek Hill is the one player in the NFL where I actively root for an injury. Ideally he'd hurt himself back flipping into the endzone, but I'm open to anything.

And this is from the first gun charge he had from March... for the more recent one, charges are still pending. There is a good chance he won't be playing this year.
