My draft grade is the same result as most of the throws made this in the Super Bowl. Incomplete.

Which is exactly why a tariff war with China will never work.

It's never a good sign when an administration says to Amazon that showing the prices of the goods with tariffs to your consumers is a "hostile and political act" against our country. Basically admitting that every reputable economist is right when it comes to tariffs.

When two players are that elite I like to go with a hypothetical scenario. You're down four points and need a TD to win the game with 2:00 left with two timeouts and you're going to be executed if they don't score a TD. Do I trust Mahomes or Allen more? Until proven wrong, I would choose Mahomes. I feel like we're arguing about whether Pepsi or Coke is the better pop though. Both are elite.

I completely agree with you. It's kind of like the MVP conversation in that Allen did more with less than Lamar but Lamar was phenomenal also with slightly better stats. When two QB's are that close the only thing you can really go by is head to head matchups when the pressure is the highest in the playoffs. I think if we beat the Chiefs in the playoffs next year and win the Super Bowl I'd give the nod to Allen as the best QB in the league. Also, with the 13 second game. I don't care how soft are coverage was. Mahomes had to execute two perfect plays to get them into field goal range and he did.

Make them play at night. They're the only stadium in the league where you benefit from being on one side (shade) over the other (roast in the sun). If both teams were in the shade I'd be fine with it. The Bills go to Miami in September and the Fish go to Buffalo in December.

Yes. Lower taxes and deregulation does that. It creates jobs because companies are more likely to invest here. Imagine how good it would be if it wasn't for his stupid fricken tariffs.

The same defense the Eagles scored 40 on. I kid. I realize that but I have a hard time declaring Allen as the best QB in the game until he finishes that drive down 3 in the 4th quarter that will pry inevitably happen again. If you ever look at their head to head stats in the playoffs they're both astoundingly good in those four games.

I don't know man. You make a lot of good points but it just seems since the Diggs trade Beane hasn't made WR that big of a priority. Whether it comes to signing or trading for premier WR veterans or spending almost the lowest draft capital in the league at WR. Pry pry a philosophical change. All I know is it's frustrating coming up short every year and I'm going to take a nap.

Again. I hate this hypothetical nonsense. There's no way to prove that Brady or Mahomes wouldn't have had success if another team drafted them. It's a fruitless debate. Absolutely.

Mahomes threw for 378 yds, 3 TD's, and a rushing TD. Both played great but the point remains that Allen hasn't outperformed Mahomes in the four head to head matchup in the playoffs.

Did I say I wasn't happy with one Shakir? Maybe if he has those two 4th round picks he'd draft differently in the rounds leading up to it. Maybe use them as collateral to trade up for a guy like Pickens as you mentioned. He's had numerous opportunities since the Diggs trade to take quality WR's in the first few rounds and hasn't until it was absolutely essential after trading Diggs. Now he's bitchin' on a radio show about a very valid criticism that he hasn't made it a priority to get cheap labor at WR.

Are you really arguing about hypothetical scenarios that can never be proven wrong or right? All I know is Allen never outperformed Mahomes in any of the four playoff games against each other.

You don't think a valid criticism of Beane that he's failed to address in WR in the middle rounds of the draft the last five years so you can get cheap labor at the position instead of having to pay veterans like Hardy, Samuel, and Palmer substantially more? The two best WR's drafted while Beane's been here was Davis in the 4th and Shakir in the 5th. Those two 4th round picks he used to trade up for Elam and Kincaid could've been used for a WR. I don't know man. In all four of our Chief playoff losses Pat was either as clutch or more clutch than Josh. That's all I have to go by at this point.

Or a top TE (Kelce, Olson, Gronk). We have neither.

It is interesting looking back at his time with the Panthers. The year they went 15-1 and made the Super Bowl it was Greg Olsen as the only passing weapon that had over 1,000 yards. It was very much an "everybody eats" WR room.

I'm with him in that I hated this WR class after Golden and it was more logical to throw all the darts you could at D-line and CB. This team offensively has philosophically changed from a 11 personnel spread formation high passing offense to a more run heavy pro style offense mixed in with spread concepts. WR core is more crucial in the former. I just find it odd how defensive he is about it when his top 30 visits had a lot of WR's and he even admitted after the draft he was surprised he didn't draft one.

I was given the same sales pitch about Deonte Harty before we signed him. I also think Harty was 3rd (I think) in separation stats in 2021 that was his best season where he had 570 yards receiving. There's a reason teams let these guys go.

What's the over/under in replies to any topic where we are reminded that we didn't win the Super Bowl yet. 2.5?

Take that Canada.

Math wouldn't add up on that one. Every team right now is still guaranteed eight true home games a year. Barring a Buffalo blizzard, California Wildfires, or hurricane.

If it's an extension I only see him getting maybe two years with $50m guaranteed and the 49ers can get out of the contract pretty easily after 2027. Probably.

I disagree and think he was just frustrated from the questions he received all weekend about WR. Then when he thinks he hit a home run draft there's pretty much nothing but negativity by Jeremy and Joe about not addressing the WR position in the draft before joining with Beane live. If it was calculated I doubt he targets a morning radio show to do it.

As long as he vows to never play soccer.

If they did it would pry be about a 50/50 offense to defense split after this defensive heavy draft. The fact that our o-line ranks 26th is a testament to the pro scouting department and Aaron Kromer for building a top five offensive line last year. I wish I could play with the spreadsheet more but the draft capital spent on QB's seems to correlate with your team sucking. One obvious and not surprising trend is teams with above 10% invested in their QB are Bears, Patriots, Jets, Texans, Cardinals, and Browns. One playoff team (Texans) and every other team below .500 last year. Bears whiffed on Justin Fields. Patriots whiffed on Mac Jones. Jets whiffed on Zach Wilson. Cardinals whiffed on the wrong Josh Browns meanwhile managed to somehow let their franchise QB go prematurely (Baker) because they thought it was smart business to give a guy the highest guaranteed contract in NFL history with 23 sexual harassment allegations against him along with a plethora of picks. They took a 3rd and a 5th round QB in this year's draft despite the 5th rounder being better than the third rounder, signed a QB we all know will be working at The Home Depot in five years in Kenny Picket, and signed up the old WWII veteran Joe Flacco.
