That's interesting. Didn't know that part.

When should negotiations begin in regards to extending McBeane?

Good. That game legitimately felt like the only one we didn't stand a chance of winning. Every other game was a contest.

Look, I agree that he could learn a different system with few problems, but that has nothing to do with sitting on the sidelines and watching the opposing team's offense for 2 decades. I mean, how much of that time do you think he's sitting there studying the opposing team's offense and NOT the opposing team's defense? As I said, I agree with you but your supporting argument is ridiculous.

I don't understand the A grades. It's pretty much universally thought that Hopkins is better than Diggs. If we had gotten Hopkins instead of Diggs, how do you grade that trade? It'd be off the charts. A is reserved for the best outcomes. This wasn't the best outcome.

Huh? Brady doesn't beat the opposing offense. He plays against the opposing defense. His job has nothing to do with opposing offensive schemes. This comment makes no sense.

B. In 2016 and 2018 he had 10.8 and 10.0 yards/reception. That seems stupid low for a "#1 WR" if you ask me. I didn't watch any Vikings games so maybe there's a good explanation for that (like did he play mostly slot those two years?).

That's why government has a role in organizing and administering the masses. If most people are left to their own devices, you get the Tragedy of the Commons type stuff.

We'd be able to quarantine far more effectively if we had a good grasp of the worst hit areas. It'd also be nice to know if we were one of the 4-out-of-5 who got the virus but had relatively mild symptoms. Knowing if you're immune could be very beneficial for both you personally and society at large. Knowledge is power.

I always found it funny (and telling) how offensive linemen are very often in their lineup when not even on the field. Whether it's sitting on the bench, in the film room, or at a restaurant table for dinner, the way they situate themselves is pretty much LT-LG-C-RG-RT from left to right.

This is pretty good news. Trump and Pelosi have agreed to a relief package. Now it's up to the Senate to pass it up to Trump's desk for a signature. https://www.npr.org/2020/03/13/815405451/negotiations-wear-on-over-coronavirus-relief-bill-republicans-await-trumps-suppo

Afaik Italy has tested more people than we have, so it's almost certain that those numbers for the US aren't equal to the actual number of cases.

I'd put McD at 82 and Beane at 90 for an average of 86. If Beane lands a playmaker or two this draft then he bumps up above 90 (gotta have more than solid players and depth to win in January). If McD can clean up some of his game management decisions and get deep into the playoffs that pushes him into the high 80s. Defensively he's a mid-high 90s, but as a head coach there's still some areas with room for improvement.

If it doesn't make a big difference then there isn't as much of an argument against getting rid of it.

I understand that's how it works, but it doesn't make sense in a league of supposed parity. It's the opposite of the logic that is applied to the rest of the draft, i.e. the worst teams get the best draft value and vice versa.

I found that rather odd as well.

Correct. Just think of all the times Brady throws the ball away by throwing it at a receiver's feet. His "intent" is to ground the ball but he does it in a way that avoids an intentional grounding penalty being called.

That's what I'm sayin'.

Auto response soon after I quote him (it) too. Hell of a world we are living in...

Is this guy a bot? It makes Trump sound coherent.

Fair enough. We are on the same page far more than we aren't. Anyone who supports unions is good in my book. My only point was that even situations like this highlight how those at the top will squeeze the absolute most out those that support them, and especially in the absence of collective bargaining. Go Bills! You have a good one Don.

It's not about comparing Levi to you. It's about comparing Levi to the billionaire owners. The fact that undrafteds can get paid so poorly even if they are outplaying first round picks is a boon for the owners, not a boon for those undrafted guys making $700k/year. In terms of what his labor is worth, he's getting underpaid and is left with little recourse. I think the players' union should definitely bring this up during the new CBA discussions. Because you know where those pay increases would have came from? The billionaire owners' pockets. Stop sticking up for billionaires, people!

Good call. I somehow forgot how top QB prospects can cause teams to salivate.

The trade for Tua seems a little off. #26 and #142 to move up 2 spots? I'm not sure Higgins will fall to 22 either, especially if he has a good combine. But a good read nonetheless. Thank you Gunner.
