  1. The plan is to develop him into a pocket passer who can use his legs to make things happen.  Russel Wilson and Mahomes can do both.   Allen made strides last year.   He need to make more, maybe he can and maybe he can’t.   But the goal should not be to use him as a rb.  That won’t cut it.

    Huh? Confusion. The only games lost in this idea are the NFC vs AFC games. So I asked what big rivalries of NFC vs AFC teams would be lost? I think you have more AFC vs AFC rivalries and under my idea the NFL would actually have those teams play more often. 


    The divisional rivalries with two games per year is really important.  Going to one game would suck.   I know you like your idea but it would limit a lot of big matchups based on current divisional rivalries.   I assume you think nothing is lost because there would be one game but you are incorrect.  There are not a lot of afc nfc rivalries because teams only play once every four years.  We seem to agree there.   Don’t take it so personal that someone does not like your idea.   If it is so great they would probably do it.

    What rivalries are you speaking off? The divisional rivalries? I am not aware of any AFC vs NFC rivalries that would be missed. Maybe some big games based on teams being good playing each other but not an ongoing rivalry.  But that is what the super bowl would be for. 

     

    You dont know of any rivalries in the NFL?  You dont know if they are divisional or cross conference?

    I'm all in on AJ Green if the price is right. Spottrac has his market value at 2yrs, 18M which seems unbelievably low to me. I would be thrilled to get him at 3/27 in a similar deal as we got John Brown.

     

    - He's been in Bengals purgatory for years and has seemed to function well on a small market team.

    - Huge target for JA ... his numbers are down in recent years but his YPC is not - he's still getting downfield.

    - He's had a whole year away from football and would be coming with something to prove.

    I would do that contract also....but like you I am not sure that is his market value.

  5. If he pushes the limits.....40mil per, mostly guaranteed.   But that will hurt their ability to have a guy like Watkins as the 4th option.

    Here's the truth about Mahomes... his scheme makes up for his deficiencies. Reid built that team around athleticism first and playmakers, not precise route-running. Mahomes is not and will never be Brees.

     

    It works because the coach made it work. He saw in Mahomes what he could do and knew that was his guy.

     

    Mahomes on the Bengals would suck, a "bust" if you will.

     

    That's why drafts aren't as important as GMs and coaches with a vision. You can take a 6th round QB and figure him out in NE, or Big Ben and let him ride along a running attack. Montana under Reeves wouldn't have been Montana, etc..

     

    GMs and coaches that have a vision are the real keys for success.

     

    Similarly Brees will never be Mahomes.  Which one will have more success in the big picture at the end of their careers?

    Hope to see McCoy playing today. 

     

    I can't see Reid screwing him with that long history together. 

     

    We will see I guess.

    It’s not screwing him.   He cant take emotions into account, rather do all the things that give his team the beat chance to win.

    For real? That’s a real slap in the face.


    Activate a nobody backup interior d-lineman who everyone knows won’t play, over a possible HOF RB who can actually get you some good touches?


    Everyone knows the DL won’t play.....yeah not really.   Might not show up on your fantasy team stats but that is it what wins NFL games.  It is not some kind of lifetime achievement entitlement to be active.   You do every single thing to win the SB when you are in it and leave emotions out.   

  8. A couple thoughts.

     

    1.  It was just a small sample size so can we really make conclusions, based on previous data it aligns though.

    2.  If Lamar Jackson tries to play on a pulled hammy or sprained ankle he will likely not do well.

    3.  As inaccurate as he is, he will be MVP.  This demonstrates that the breadth of skills needed to play QB is huge, being good or bad in one area cannot tell you much about how effective a player can be.
