Cut this crappy punter!!

Mario Addison has 10 total sacks the past two years. Lawson has 5 total, with two different teams. Addison has been twice the player that Lawson has been since Lawson left, for the same cost. I don't want Addison here anymore, and I certainly don't want Lawson back.

That's why they don't vote.

Wow. Letting those two players walk was the right choice. Both got way overpaid and have done nothing since.

The award isn't for MVP of your team. It's for MVP of the league. I don't know why everyone brings this up all the time.

Don't start new threads just because you are confused.

Big Ben's passes take SOOO long to get there.

Wow, these games suck.

Hopefully just to say hi.

What doesn't make sense is that they switched it. That logic should have made sense from the start. They decided not to do that, and then they changed their mind in the last minute. That's what is weird. Why didn't they do that from the start?

Backup QB is the best job in the NFL. You still get paid millions. You don't get beat up. When you do have to play there are really low expectations. If you do a decent job you can have a long career. I get it, players want to play, but if you aren't good enough to be a starter you might as well get paid a bunch of money to sit on the bench.

Kicking leads directly to points, punting doesn't.

What did he do?

Wouldn't it be more important to have a kicker for insurance instead of a punter? Can he do both?

I've looked at the list a few times this year. It has been a complete joke all year, and not just because Allen has been ranked too low. There are numerous issues with it, too many to even list. Greg Rosenthal is one of those football nerds who just likes to hear the sound of his own voice, and he has been down on Allen for his entire career. It must be frustrating for him.

So funny that the Bills just have random splotches everywhere. I get that there are reasons for each of the blobs, but it is still pretty funny.

I like some of them, but I've realized that I am pretty picky when it comes to announcers and color commentators. I'm not sure what the best formula is. I think it is kind of a shot in the dark to see which ones catch on and which don't. I think it is a very hard job. I liked Greg Olsen a lot when he did our game. I actually didn't know it was him at first. I looked it up and was really impressed. He has a bright future. I'm getting sick of Tony Romo, but he is still good. I actually don't mind Aikman that much. He is like a neutral for me. I don't like him at all, but I also don't dislike him. He is the bare minimum for competency. I loath Collinsworth. I hate both guys on Monday night.

Or Watson developed because he was good and O'Brien happened to be there at the time. Wouldn't that be the majority in the NFL?

There is some bias in the analytics. They are skewed towards the teams with the best coaching and the most talent. Bill Belichick says he doesn't make decisions using analytics, but a lot of his decisions actually have aligned with the analytics over the years. Why? Because he has had a good team. Good teams are more successful regardless of what they do. That drives up the numbers for their tendencies. Bad teams can make the decision to follow the analytics, but still fail all the time because they don't have the talent, leadership, etc. to pull off what the good teams can do. You have to understand your own team. If you have Tom Brady, sneak it on 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 every time because he converts those every time. If you don't have Tom Brady, though, you aren't going to be as successful on those plays. Yeah, maybe the analytics tell you to sneak it, but if you suck at that, don't do it. Do something that your players are good at executing.

You can buy them for $8. Who is cheap now?

I'm fine with it, but I am ready for the playoffs. I do think it is overkill to go to 18 games. I hope they don't do that.

What a baby face.

Or all those coaches just weren't very good. Hey, I'm not defending Mayfield. I think he is not turning out to be a good QB, but the Browns are underperforming in all aspects. They are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. They have one of the best olines in the NFL, two good running backs, good recievers and TE's, perhaps the #1 edge rusher in the game, and talent all over that defense. If you are underperforming with that much talent, that has to be on the coaches. Mayfield may not be great, but he is at least serviceable.

Pro Bowl voting is your answer? Wow.

I view wonderlic scores like this: If you scored high, you are quick thinking and/or you prepared well for it. If you score low, you didn't prepare for it or you are severely academically challenged (and somehow got through 3 years of college?). OR you didn't take the test seriously at all. A low score reflects badly on you mostly because it tells me you didn't take the draft process seriously. Why would you not prepare for the wonderlic when it is a simple test that is so easy to prepare for? To me, that reflects on your character, coachability, etc. Some people claim it is racist or culturally biased. I disagree. These are players that were supposed to have been attending college classes for at least 3 years, not to mention K-12. They should be able to handle the wonderlic questions regardless of race or cultural background. If English is not your first language, that's one valid excuse.
