    Honest question:  what do you think the % of guys who hit woman won’t repeat  it?  Because I think guys who are women beaters tend to repeat the behavior more than say someone who gets caught stealing a laptop (Cam Newton’s crime in college that people used to put him down before the draft).

     

    I don't care what percentage of guys do it again. That logic has been used to defend all sorts of ridiculous laws. By all accounts Simmons has been a model citizen and it happened several years ago. Maybe he'll screw up again but I won't assume anything.

     My overall opinion is except for QB play this league represents mainly rotational NFL talent. RB and WR seem like talent wise equal to most 2nd stringers

     

    These guys aren't even practice squad caliber. Practice squad players in the NFL make $130,000 a year. AAF players are paid around $83,000 a year.

    Sad that some on this board will defend woman beaters

     

    This is really missing the point. A couple people are defending what he did, I agree that that is terrible. But the majority of us are defending his ability to change. As a society we should reward such commitment to change because lifelong social punishment in the name of "justice" doesn't help anyone. Of course he won't get any more strikes, if he does something that terrible again his NFL career should be over.

    at some point, the completion percentage will need to rise to justify all the catchable/precision vs accuracy stuff.

     

    No it won't. You can be the most accurate QB in the world, if you aren't reading the field your completion percentage will be low. The whole point of this thread is that his accuracy isn't as big a deal as it's made out to be. Obviously he has other issues that are pretty common for rookies. If he develops in other areas without ever improving his accuracy he will have a high completion percentage regardless. Mahomes is not a precise passer but he completes a ton of passes because he knows when to take the easy throw.

    Ok. I gotta jump in here. Everyone has stated their admiration for the work you're putting in. But Josh Allen had a low completion percentage at JUCO. A low completion percentage at Wyoming. And a low completion percentage with the Bills. His accuracy will be questioned as long as his completion percentage remains low. It's really that simple.

     

    Low completion percentage is a problem. But it doesn't equal accuracy. He needs to improve on reading the field and taking more easy throws on early downs. That will increase his completion percentage and efficiency whether he ever becomes more accurate or not.

    I hope Beane finds someone else to help him scout wrs because he has been terrible in that department.

     

    Beane has only been responsible for Benjamin, McKenzie, Foster, and a 6th and 7th rounder that didn't work out. He hasn't been around along enough to say he's "terrible." He just hasn't spent a lot at the position yet. The only big miss he's had is Benjamin.

  7. The whole team is overrated. They decided to blow draft picks and cap space and gave themselves basically a one year window to win the Super Bowl. They only have $32 million in cap space entering 2019 and they have pending free agents in Suh, Joyner, Saffold, Fowler, and Littleton. In the 2018 draft they didn't have any picks until pick #89, and this year before compensatory picks they only have a 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th. You win in the NFL by building through the draft but they didn't get the memo. By the time Goff's 2nd contract rolls around their roster is going to be in serious trouble.

    Defense wins... but why is it never the same defenses, but usually the same offenses?

     

    It isn't. The only constant in the Super Bowl over the last decade has been the Patriots. Since 2009 only the Seahawks, Steelers, and Broncos have made it to the Super Bowl twice. Outside of the Patriots it's a new team every year. The best TEAM makes it there, period.
