Kraft Prosecution Must Be a Patriots Hater !!
cba fan replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I guess you do not understand the rule of public prosecution as administrated in US. The tapes will likely be shown in the jury trial so it must be public record. You could go watch the case proceed live and see the footage also. You can not then say it can not be released to the media when it is public in court. Kraft has control of this though. If he just pleads guilty to the lesser charge he committed and stops wasting taxpayer money insisting on a jury trial then the video possibly gets destroyed. Kraft is just a little crybabay who wants to get OFF again. And will hire high profile lawyers to likely get off. But then he must live with the vid going public. ***** him and his money can buy his way out of everything attitude. PS: I do agree it should not be released until after the court proceedings so as not to taint the jury pool. -
finally found it. It is a long interesting read. Rereading it now I don't think it would work too well. Just in special circumstances like Chiefs. my memory of it was accurate. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24801136/how-nfl-teams-trade-young-qb-starters-thrive-bill-barnwell-2018 Interesting that ESPN's Barnwell took a twitter comment from D Gilmour that spurred Barnwell(not clear how much Barnwell wrote before the Gilmour question) into deeper thought about this and made a whole all encompassing article about the theory. Very impressive. He is a super star reporter.

agreed. People who think athletes are not worth their salaries are socialists or communists or something. Like a great hard working blue collar welder could book an arena and get 15 to 30 K to show up screaming in happiness buying tickets for $100, beer, apparel, and DVD's of you welding.......etc etc.... It is laughable. They do not understand demand and market rates for that demand. You never hear them complain about actors or entertainers who work much much less and make much much more than high end high paid athletes.

still waiting for your opinion on the theory of trading before 2nd contract. Internet article was awhile ago and I can not find it back. If I find it I will post it so you can move on and give your opinion on it. What does it matter? It is an opinion. Could be anyone's, who cares? One I do not necessarily share. Just putting it out there for those who hate when we bring up the undeniable fact that big QB salaries reduce significantly a teams chances to win Super Bowls. Personally it would be hard for me as a FO exec to trade a franchise guy even with the facts in front of me that this alternate way of treating the QB salary issue may be the way to go. I would probably take my job security and keep the franchise guy and hope against hope I could be the outliers like the Manning's both won Super Bowls when on big contracts. circumstances could make me do it though. I would have traded Rogers already as I don't feel he is a leader and his weird grudges have held the team back. Same with Big Ben and his long list of crap.

To open up a fan of worms. There was an article on qb contract handling that predicted drastic change soon. As some but not all GM's notice that you don't win super bowls and often do not even make playoffs with high qb salary some may do the following. Only keep qb on rookie deal. Then franchise him and work a trade for assets and roll the dice on drafting next franchise qb. Keep him for rookie deal and rinse and repeat. Article assumes many FO's will not do it as winning with say aaron rodgers and keeping job longer and winning, even with no super bowls, is better than getting fired for trading franchise type players in their prime. This allows market to remain viable for trade of qb's at end of rookie deals. Goes on to say it only takes one gm to start this trend. Interesting strategy requiring ballsy FO.

No there will be a Super Bowl. Just that the highest pd QB teams will not be there. I am sure one team will buck the odds and possibly get there, but odds are clearly stacked against it happening. History backs up our opinion here: https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/2018/12/30/highest-paid-quarterbacks-arent-making-the-playoffs-rodgers-garoppolo-cousins-ryan/

My Hypothetical Julio Jones Trade....Yes or No?
cba fan replied to Special K's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It is pretty much written he would only come with a new deal. He and others have seen how AB played the Steelers. Jones will not have all the drama of needing a new deal but he will likely get one as terms of a trade. He would be financially not smart, and his agent a very poor talent, to not take advantage of this environment(him being traded) of getting a new deal. Especially considering if he just agrees to go to new team and play next two years on current deal his market value will be severely compromised in two years when he is approaching 33 years old. -

Bills FO should bring him in for a look/workout and then take him out to eat. -

Nice post and review. Thanks. fyi: you forgot Quentin Spain...... -
Also: Bears in Halas Hall in Lake Forest and Cowboys in Frisco. It is over an hour from Soldier Field. Similar time from Cowboys Frisco training to Jerry's Place Stadium. Good think Kroft and Eiffert never talked to each other when on Bengals together for those 4 short years. lol

You say you're all for BPA, but do you mean it?
cba fan replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I believe all GM's are lying when they say they will always draft BPA. No way. If BPA falls and has great value but you are already stacked at that position you then trade back. Then draft player that fills need and is also BPA. If need be trade back again. Doing otherwise is stupid. EX: lets say QB's fell hard in 1st last year and Bills picks at 22 and 23 came up with both Josh's still available and they are ranked BPA left at that time. All the BPA spinners and Beane himself based on his/their very direct comments, then should have drafted Allen and then Rosen back to back. see how stupid this BPA thinking is? -
Theory on Brady’s retirement
cba fan replied to quinnearlysghost88's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
maybe that will cut down on his 30,000 monthly text messages. And prolong his marriage. -
I agree Cory was pretty good in comparison to Dar Dar Dinks and Schmidt........however........everyone seems to forget the other Cory, Corey Carter, who looked to have a great chance of beating out Schmidt last training camp until he was injured in preseason.

The Reason I feel Josh Allen Will Be Great
cba fan replied to Fred Slacks's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I 2nd that and 3rd that and what ever the hell else it takes to get behind your good thoughts. Josh brings hope like no other since JK. He actually can take over a game and will the team to victory. He does not care about stats at all. He just cares about winning and that by winning he knows that will keep him on the field. Bills fans all over the world have been waiting for this. Lets hope it continues to show and he continues to develop.
