  1. His $11m guaranteed this year from Jacksonville has offsets so we could pay him the vet minimum ($1.17m) and Jacksonville has to foot the rest of the bill. There's no incentive for Gabe to sign above the vet minimum. The question now just becomes if both sides are interested in a reunion.
  2. The Bills pry value Knox more than fans do as he does a lot of little things that go unnoticed. Knox is our most complete TE and he's a much better blocker than I thought he'd be coming out of college. In theory he should be the perfect compliment to Kincaid who is more of a finesse TE that is a better route runner but relies less on physicality to get open. Hawes was drafted to fill the Quintin Morris TE3 role. Nothing more. You're right that Knox is overpaid given his receiving production but if I was Beane I'd need to have a replacement plan in mind before just cutting him after next season. A lot can change in a a year though. That's funny. It took me about ten seconds to realize that's not some psychological syndrome I haven't heard about.
  3. Knox was always a developmental prospect though as he was extremely raw coming out of Ole Miss where they barely used their TE's in the passing games. It seems more to look at his 3rd and 4th year because of that. Not that dissimilar to Allen as far as a project goes.
  4. Curtis Samuel has more yards and TD's because he has more career games. The rest have played less games. Forget all the INT's when targeted, drops, and an inability to create much separation....... if you were him would you want to go back to your own team where you used to be WR2 and fight for a roster spot? There has to be teams out there that are more attractive than this one who would guarantee him more playing time. The Jets, Steelers, Chargers, Seahawks, and Giants come to mind.
  5. It will be exactly the same as before but each import includes a fortune cookie.
  6. Oh I don't go to church. I'm just trying to justify sleeping in on the weekends. What's a subscription level? Do you have to prepay to go to church now?
  7. How much of that is the addition of Kincaid though? He had 49 catches for 587 yards in 2021 and 48 receptions for 517 yards in 2022. Last two years he only had 22 receptions. In the four games Kincaid missed last year he had 11 catches for 141 yards. Extend that to the whole season it's 47 catches for 599 yards. Similar to what he had the non Kincaid years.
  8. Are all International games scheduled for 9:30am? Does Goodell just hate church goers? I may be old enough to be a grandpa but in my defense it's been a regular habit of mine since my early 20's. They encourage it in Spain.
  9. PFF Receiving Grades FWIW. They factor in passer rating plus more variables (DOT, YPR, Drops, etc.). Pretty much the same but they give Kincaid a little more love. Knox didn't have enough targets to qualify. Shakir - 77.85 (27th of 98 WR's) Kincaid - 76.6 (8th of 37 TE's) Coleman - 69.4 (60th of 98) Palmer -68.3 (62nd of 98) Samuel - 62.6 (85th of 98) Moore - 58.6 (93rd of 98)
  10. No 9:30am International games. As few 4:00 games as possible because it messes up my 5:00 nap.
  11. Their skill sets are redundant and they'd rather pay Metcalf over a mental case. They could sign K. Allen or Cooper to add to the WR room if they still want to try this year by signing Rodgers.
  12. Josh also has a great rapport with guys covering Gabe. If I were him I'd rather have a reduced role somewhere else than going back to your old team in a lesser role. Pittsburgh makes a lot of sense. Giants make a lot of sense if he wants to reconnect with Daboll.
  13. McDermott loves him too. I don't think they'd have signed Moore if they knew Gabe was going to be released. They still might sign Gabe though.
  14. Nacua Metcalf Laporta McBride Worthy Shakir
  15. Or they wanted to make room for Randall Cobb.
  16. Wasn't one of those interceptions to Keon a quick slant that he dropped and it popped right into the defenders hands? Can't remember the other one but Dorsey's offense relied more on choice/option routes depending on the leverage and coverage of the defense. Allen and Davis almost always seemed to be on the wrong page.
  17. Allen stats once Gabe became the WR2 in 2022 and 2023. -15% of Allen's targets -38% of Allen's INT's
  18. How many of the six interceptions were partly Mack's fault?
  19. I wouldn't be so sure as Beane and McDermott have raved about his work ethic in the past. It does tell you something about Gabe though where the Jaguars purposefully decreased their 2025 cap room by about $13.8m just to get rid of him.
  20. Man. People are brutal on Gabe. He's had some great all time plays here. The 98 yarder stands out to me. It's not his fault he was elevated to a role he didn't have the capacity to do. Having said that, the thought of Josh throwing to him again after a year where he cleaned up his turnover problem is like locking a recovering alcoholic in a brewery.
  21. The two most obvious one's that I must post.
  22. I hate that stupid song so I liked this version better. Screw the haters.
  23. One of the most amazing stats and why you really have to dig deep to make the argument that Josh deserved MVP over Lamar (who was also awesome last season) imo was that through the first 16 games Josh only took 15 sacks which has been done only 17 times in NFL history through 16 games. The first time since 2009. Even more impressive is they had the fewest combined turnovers and sacks through a team's first 16 games ever with 22. The next closest was the Titans in 2009 with 29. To me that's a QB stat, a play caller stat, a fundamental coaching stat, and an offensive line stat. Josh only being sacked 8.2% of the time when pressured is just stupidly efficient. You can't call last year's offense historic when you finish 10th in yards last season but you can when it comes to avoiding negative plays.
  24. This is far more likely and you should know as a master strategist. Occam's razor. Simplest explanation is usually the right one. Beane is a guy that strikes me as having a temper if pushed far enough. There's no way Jeremy and Joe saw it coming unless they're Oscar caliber actors that we don't know about.
