You have to look at the grade as a tool and then apply proper context to it. It doesn't account for scheme, whether a player was put on a good situation or not, a guy playing hurt, adverse weather conditions, or how the quality of players around them impacted their "score." You can't take it as gospel but it's a useful tool than just reading raw stats.

I wasn't factoring history because of course the Giants are way more successful of a franchise than the Jets and Browns. I was talking about present and future outlook. Nabers and Carter should be elite but it doesn't matter until they get their QB. Not a Jaxon Dart fan. It seems the Eagles and Redskins are the cream of the crop of that division for the next few years.

Yeah. The Polish jokes always bothered me and I'm not even Polish. I hear it's a great place to live. I hope their mission of being the first country to land on the sun isn't impacted by this election.

They have the worst record of the three the last two years. Eating $22.1m in dead cap for Daniel Jones this year. Counting on Russell Wilson. Yikes.

What do you suggest rather than just looking at the box score in US Today?

Not sure how many were runs but Knox's snap share percentage was 60.6% and Kincaid's was 56.7%.

Knox did qualify. He had more of a snap participation rate (60%) than Kincaid (56%). Knox's PFF grade was 57.1. Kincaid's was 76.6. PFF ranked Knox as 20th as a run blocker and 27th as a pass blocker. Kincaid was ranked 9th in both. Don't kill the messenger.

I want to see less Knox and more Kincaid in one tight end sets. Even in Kincaid's nightmare season last year he had better yards after catch, yards after contact, and a lower drop percentage than Knox.

You know that's the first defense of the left though when they know their former president's administration ***** up.

Poor Joe Schoen. It's why he should've traded Barkley as soon as he got there to another team with a terrible offensive line. Who has it worse? Jets, Giants, or Browns fans.

FanDuel won't let me bet the games.

I think January 6th has been discussed ad nauseum and has nothing to do with this attack. I know the first defense is on average illegal citizens commit less crime than the general American population. However, there wouldn't have been an attack if he wasn't allowed into this country.

Zeke contract killed them (Cook buyer's beware). Paying an above average QB elite money for the postion killed them. Not paying Parson's top of the market extension last year was just plain stupid. 5-12 is my prediction. They've been over-hyped since the turn of the century.

Just looking at how the NFL navigated the COVID year was damn impressive. The fact that he got all those games in was a miracle imo.

Fair point. I think it depends on the seriousness of the accusation. I didn't expect OJ Simpson to have a press conference following the murder accusations saying "yeah, I take full responsibility for murdering my wife and that waiter. I'll learn from it." If it's something as minor as this though I'd have more respect for a player if he just said, "Yup. Got injured and wanted to get back on the field as quick as possible because I only have a short time to build potentially generational wealth." I'd respect him more. Plus, it would be easier for him to sleep at night.

There's also the "I take so much juice at once and so many masking agents I get confused so I just let my trainer take care of it and pray he doesn't screw up" approach. Either way, you look a hell of a lot better if you take full responsibility for it imo. Especially when there's no qualifiers in front of that statement.

Peak off-season. Now I know what Larry Davis was obsessing about all week.

I completely agree. That's why I said generational welfare dependency is a much more nuanced conversation that you articulated in the last paragraph rather than just the blanket statement of "if you're on SNAP then you're doing something wrong" just seemed cold and incorrect. The only good argument I've heard for raising the federal minimum wage is it prevents larger corporations from reaping the benefits of taxpayers subsidizing them in states where the federal minimum wage is also the state's minimum wage.

Seemed like a really tight competition.

Oh God. I give the marriage 10 months.

Makes me think of the episode where he wouldn't commit to staying married "in eternity" when renewing wedding vows with his wife. What if he wants to date other people in heaven?

Interesting. Higgins seems like their type of WR so it makes sense. I always saw Josh as a very visual QB who has to see WR's separating before throwing. His arm strength lets him get away with it. Brown, Beasley, and Diggs all fit that bill. I don't want to bury Coleman yet but I still just don't get the pick.

I get where you're coming from now as generational welfare requires a much more nuanced discussion. Love the username by the way.

I've seen many people fall into poverty after losing their job because of downsizing, have their husband or wife die on them, or a major illness or accident makes it impossible for them to work. These people do literally need SNAP to survive. If it wasn't for these benefits you'd have to have swat teams at every grocery store. Not many kids at 10 years old think when I grow up I want to become dependent on leaching off the government. That's not to say that their aren't people out there that are content and lazy living off the government teet, but I think that's overly stated by Republicans to win elections. You could look at it another way. There's an income threshold for those able to receive snap benefits or other types of welfare. This threshold means that people who work 40 hours a week at minimum federal wage will still be able to collect SNAP benefits. Places like McDonalds, Wal Mart, and Costco's continue to benefit off this because most of their employees make minimum wage or a little bit above. Looking at it from that angle taxpayers we are subsidizing these big companies because they don't pay enough for the average worker not to be eligible for SNAP benefits.

Trump may actually think that as he's had that confusion since he was railing against Japan in the late 1980's. It's more the Republican sycophants that know this who turn a blind eye at best or perpetuate that lie at worst.
