A Daniel Jones-led team whose #1 WR is Isaiah Hodgins is going to the Super Bowl? They have better odds of not winning more than 5 games.

I think there's a a very high chance he's done. He'll hang on in the league a little while longer, but I expect him to be a JAG from this point out instead of the $20M Tre White we knew. An ACL for a corner is a killer, and great corners can start falling off hard as early as their late 20's even with decent health. He'll be 29 in a few months and coupled with the injury, I just don't see him having much left. Maybe he can get one more pro bowl nod based on adequate play and name recognition, But I think his days of being a top 10 guy are over.

I mean inheritance is a terrible thing for the world as it just ensures that rich people create an ever richer and more powerful ruling class that can never be uprooted. I don't see it going away any time soon for the folks that have created multi-generational wealth. The couple hundred K, modest home or family business that you're trying to pass down to your kids being taxed into oblivion isn't a war on inheritance, it's a war on class.

100% serious. There's absolutely no theft at all. They still have their copy of the game as does every customer they sold it to. Is it theft when you have people over to watch the game at your house? Is it theft if you walk away during the commercial that someone paid for? If they don't want people to share their content with other people they should create a better platform that incentivizes people to own it instead of crying about it.

Disney just posted their 2nd best quarter in history. Just because memes circulate on social media that they're losing money because "tHeY wEnT wOkE" doesn't make it close to true.

There's nothing "stolen". Stop being so dramatic.

It's kind of the opposite in this case. Charter is the one losing.

They'll never win. They should have learned their lesson from the record labels.

I would trade every 7th round pick however they had to for future 6th round picks.Maybe even do the same with 6ths.

nice.

If you're going to stan for Spencer Brown, I think you're going to be in a lonely club around here. He's absolutely terrible.

Worth mentioning that Whaley signed both Poyer and Hyde too. So Beane is really responsible for 3 players.

One of which we have been trying to replace since he got here and is universally considered the weak link in his entire position group. We're also still waiting for Rousseau to reach potential. There's one b+ player in that draft.

Yea, really wonderful drafting in 2021...

I'd prefer both of them to be rotational players than true starters.

If he never suited up in another game, but no one told you, how long would it be until you realized it? For me, I'm not sure they day would ever come.

It may have been your first post on the subject, but my response was to a different circumstance, so yes, moving the goalposts. If you want to talk about running backs making a significant rate who made a significant contribution to reaching/winning a super bowl, we'd have to define all those terms to even get started. It's a lot of legwork looking through contracts, comparing it to the average price of a back and the cap in a given year and I'm not really interested in all that just for you or others to say nUh uHhHhH at the end of it all. It's also not going to reach a point of statistical significance for the following reasons: The aforementioned elite level QB play we've seen over the last 20 years. The limit on only two teams reaching a super bowl per year The number of RBs that meaningfully contributed to SB appearances while on rookie deals Because of the above, you have to look at a longer timeline, which people are already discounting 2012 and being equivalent to 1965. I cna only imagine if I brought up Marshall Faulk or even Edgerrin James

No. Do your own homework. I never said it was. Like I told the other guy, if you want to move goalposts, create a new argument for that instead of trying to apply it in reverse to other arguments. So far, no one has countered that elite RB play can help teams reach the super bowl, and they probably won't.

"Winning" a super bowl was not the challenge. Getting a team to the super bowl was. If you want to move the goalposts so that you can find a way to be right, go ahead but I'm not interested in that discussion.

sure add them to the list. They played in 2018 when Gurley did, right?

And Lynch, Gore, Gurley? I know you hate being proven wrong, but picking one example you don't like (that's still valid btw), doesn't discredit the argument.

Do you have the memory of a goldfish? You don't remember them being an extremely dangerous 1-2 combo? They combined for 2100 yards and 16 touchdowns. They were effectively one powerhouse RB split as two players. Similar to Barber/Jacobs, Dunn/Alstott, etc. The Falcons heavily relied on them.

Todd Gurley was in 2018 The combination of Devonta Foreman and Tevin Colemen were in 2016 Marshawn lynch was in 2013 & 2014 Frank Gore & Ray Rice were in 2012 How much further do you want me to go back? In the last 20 years, we have been blessed with seeing most of the top 10 greatest QBs of all time, including the undisputed top 2 and likely top 3, many of them all competing for a Super Bowl simultaneously. Since then, we've introduced Mahomes, who's already top 10 all time. It shouldn't be any surprise that SB winners have been largely QB driven since that time. That doesn't mean that elite RBs don't help you get there and give you a better chance to win.

It's one move. He also got them Brock Purdy. The 49ers have an incredible roster and have been a QB away for years. If Purdy takes a step and stays healthy, I could very easily believe the go to the Super Bowl this year. They've been to the Championship game in 3 consecutive seasons.

Yes, i meant divisions, which is why I immediately edited it. I'm not interested in Dick Jauron football philosophy, though. Of ocurse it's hard to win - that's why Beane is compensated as one of the top football personnel in the world. The team has not gotten better in 2 full seasons - peaking in 2020. They haven't gotten past the divisional round since then and are highly unlikely to do so again this year with a roster that's effectively running back a group that was incapable of putting up more than 10 points against the Bengals last year plus a now giant whole at MLB. How much longer are you going to allow this staff to take credit for Allen single handedly carrying this team? They get a ton of credit for developing him, but the rest of the roster put together is mid at absolute best. Maybe a 7th seed on a good year, but would miss the playoffs more than not.
