Aren’t talking dollars or the teams wins and losses?

Yep this thread still sucks.

If you took out the climate facts of both cities and put a poll out NC is winning by a lot for the general population. If you want to be the national enquirer of weather on either side then whatever.

I will use my VCR

I was there! Reed was open all day.

I think analytics has mostly proven that by the time RB's are ready to get paid, they are expected to nose dive in production. There are exceptions, the Ravens did a great job in idenitifying that last yeat.

Cue the Burfict did this crowd

This sucks

I bet the Bills might have the least sacks in the league...oh wait nevermind Agree on the OL.....which helps bring out Cook's best traits and allows him to make explosive plays.....but another RB will also do well in this offense. All in all, knowing you should not pay everyone what their market is I am good letting Cook play out this year and drafting another guy on day 2 or 3 next year.

The takeaway from Joe Marino was that the Bills simply dont ask their RB's do pass pro much period, not because they can't but because Josh Allen can work around rushers really well and the back's are receivers.

Joe Marino talked about the pass pro argument and it turns out the Bills ask a RB to pass pro at a VERY low rate. And they asked James cook to do it a very small amount of times, not even once a game. While its true he is not good at it, it is also true they dont ask RB's to do it much. In additon to pass pro he is not an ideal back on short yardage and has suspect hands. Agree with the overall assessment, he is a two down back and not worth what he put out there. People get so emotional about this stuff though, it is all just black and white. I see the case from both sides and I am not at all surprised they are not coming to an agreement. In this case I think it makes sense for Cook to want to get paid, he will have one chance to get a good payday. RB's get screwed by the current structure for rookies because they have such short career spans. If he plays this year he risks injury and never getting it (Bills have the leverage). However the Bills could look at him and say, he is not worth 15M AAV, on the open market he may get 10-12MAAV but we don't value him even there. So they are at a stand still, Cook and his reps will have to decide what the best course of action is. I woudl not be that surprised if the Bills are not that in interested in an extension at what his market rate would be. If he sits, he takes a hit on some of the 5M coming to him this year and teams may downgrade him just because of his potential to hold out.

5PM cause its always 5 o'clock somewhere

Two Finn’s down

Is there one person who doesn't some (a good chunk) of that for non NFL use already? Are there people who have to watch every single NFL game? THis seems like a dram queen way to look at this.

OK, I read it and thought it is complete BS because it makes zero sense.
