  1. Tua's never won a playoff game. Purdy's 4-2 with a 94.3 passer rating in the playoffs. I know he doesn't look like a typical modern franchise QB but he's better than people are giving him credit for imo..
  2. I get it but I’ve seen enough off script plays from him where I think he’s a little bit more than just a good system quarterback. I’d take him above Tua, Love, or Lawrence if forced to pick. He has a high floor and can win with him at that salary if you consistently nail the draft.
  3. FWIW with Purdy. He's an above average starting QB and this contract won't look as bad a couple of years from now imo.
  4. Like I said. I wouldn't give him that much but the Lance example is why you at least need an above average QB even in Shanahan's offense surrounded by all pros. Baker's $33m (maybe $40 to 45m with inflation) per year contract makes a lot more sense.
  5. You think Beane added defensive backs focusing on speed because he drafted a WR last year more known for his size and high end ball skills than his route separation due to lack of speed? Including Bishop who was drafted 30 some odd picks later in the same draft? This is going to be a long couple of months.
  6. I think Trump Derangement Syndrome is just an easy label for someone to use in order to nullify the intelligence of a person who has any valid criticism of him without having a retort to their criticism. However, you have Trump Derangement Syndrome.
  7. I don't think they make the Super Bowl with Fields as the starting QB a year and a half ago. Purdy is a faster processor who can go through his reads quicker avoiding negative plays. Would I have paid him that much? No. A Baker Mayfield contract would've been more appropriate. You could say the same thing about Love, Lawrence, Goff, and Tua. He's better than Fields though.
  8. They gave up three first round picks for Trey Lance and he couldn't thrive under the Shanahan system. I'd say he's above average but nowhere near elite. I wouldn't have given him that much but he's done more to deserve an extension than Tua, Love, or Lawrence ever did. I read your post as saying you'd rather have Fields at that price then Purdy and Goff. It makes more sense now but Purdy has been far better than Fields.
  9. If he's paying California taxes on that he might be able to upgrade from a 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom apartment.
  10. You've got to be kidding me. I don't even know what you're trying to convey? You think so little of the American Constitution and people that you think we'd let Trump have the power to become someone akin to a Turkish autocrat? Dude couldn't even get money for a wall his first time term. Is the reason his approval rating went down and then back up was because he's becoming less of an autocrat and have nothing to do with his idiotic trace policy.....and I'm the one living in a bubble?
  11. I knew you meant that. Just thought it was funny because my feelings towards Black Friday aren't that fall off from Black Monday. Historically, a Democratic presidency with a majority Republican House and Congress led to the most gains in the stock market. The markets hate uncertainty and they know no major legislation will pass with a divided government. My frustration with the tariffs is the lack of Congressional involvement where they're supposed to have power of the purse. They know it's dumb policy but will be chastised if they criticize him unless you're popular in your state because of your libertarian principles like Rand Paul. I laugh seeing the rest twist themselves into pretzels trying to defend it. My main criticism of Biden was forgiving student loans before the Supreme Court called it executive overreach over Congress. I don't see how the tariffs are any different. You'd think people who criticized Biden would also criticize Trump if they were being intellectually consistent. Of course that would mean the politicians who supported Biden's EO's on the left shouldn't be criticizing Trump right now. That's politicians for you though.
  12. I can see Terry Bradshaw explaining it to us in the studios come week 18 next year.
  13. I give Trump credit for at least recognizing why his poll numbers went down and fixing the problem. It's not a sign of weakness.
  14. No way to tell but the majority of voters didn't want to find out so it's irrelevant.
  15. Step 1 - Implement tariffs to make my approval go down from -1 to -8. Step 2 - Mostly cave on tariffs to make my approval go back up from -8 to -1. I'm not an expert but maybe just stop getting in the way of the free market
  16. Do you mean Black Monday? There's always concerns with market corrections and it's mostly pushed by people who want the stock market to drop so they can buy low. Also, people who make their living selling gold or other metals benefit off of people's fears of the market tanking. You obviously can't prove our 401k's would be higher if Trump didn't implement tariffs. However, I do think his actions made a lot of people's pockets a lot lighter than it should be right now.
  17. Make them the 7 seed. It would be weird to celebrate winning the division in week 18 but being eliminated from the playoffs. Celebrating pouring champagne for five minutes followed by five minutes of sitting down devastated?
  18. That was my thought too. Although, nothing would've changed in the last five years as far as Bills WC opponent goes.
  19. I didn't catch that. Thanks. If this rule was put in last year the WC games for the AFC would have just had the Chargers host the Texans in the WC round. Everything else would be the same. NFC would have same teams but three different WC matchups.... WC Games would've been Bucs @ Eagles, Rams @ Vikings, and Packers @ Redskins.
  20. Thought this was interesting. All four division winners make playoffs but then are reseeded 1 through 7 based on record. Division winners would have the higher seed if they had the same record as a non division winner. I'm not a fan of this because the way the scheduling format is set up leads to an unbalanced schedule (eg., playing AFC North and NFC North is a lot harder than playing AFC South and NFC South). The only tweak I would make is this would only apply this if a division winner finishes below .500. Thoughts?
  21. Well, 8645 didn't work and now he's back in office. I think Comey's just a weird dude that enjoyed being in the spotlight. He knew there's pry half a million people with no life constantly monitoring social media posts. If not, then he's a dumb weird dude.
  22. That's wishful thinking. As nauseating as it for me to say, it's pry more likely they'll be even better after being embarrassed in the Super Bowl. I thought they showed a lot of character being down 40-6 and still playing as hard as they did to make it 40-22. Too good of a head coach. Too good of a starting QB. Just a solid organizational culture It's us, them, and the Ravens. I'd be shocked if any other AFC team makes the Super Bowl.
  23. A better way to determine strength of schedule is following the money (Vegas over/unders) for this year. In that case we have the 5th easiest schedule in the league. Unless you're a degenerate gambler who makes their own power rankings but I digress.
  24. Food's always been a better safe than sorry thing with me as my immune system sucks. With air fryers you pry get 95% of the quality heating up the pizza than made fresh.
  25. Don't forget that Tremaine Edmunds is finally old enough to vote.
