The NFL made a decision many years ago to protect WRs and QBs from getting mauled the way they had been mauled for decades. The NFL opened the doors to a passing league dominated by passing plays during a period when TV/Streaming contract prices accelerated upward. So the way to win is throwing the ball downfield, since the rules encourage it. So QBs and WRs are way more valuable than RBs, and the contracts today show that. The numbers are so massive due to the salary cap, which is driven by what networks/streamers will pay to show NFL games, has increased dramatically recently. Its all pretty simple. Load up on QBs and WRs , as they determine if you win or lose. And you have the salary cap to pay up for them. RBs are good to have, but not essential to winning and losing. Is what it is.

kind of a little guy... always a concern when they get to the NFL and get start getting beat up by grown men

kinda like Jax. all the fans care about is the Gators

lfg

all things considered, Goodell has been a big success.

good for them. well done.

wait until next year and see how much quieter it may be... that really worries me

agreed. but trading up to 22 or earlier to get him would have cost Beane a lot. in 20/20 hindsight, of course it may have been worth it. We'll see how Coleman does this year;

Lets see how he does this season. BTW, I know this is a "Beane sucks" OP, but the McConkey-led Chargers were pretty much hot garbage last season as well.

so I guess he will be retired or cut by year end?

yeah what a joke. pls Josh no.

i remember watching CFL games on TV long ago. Fun league

ah yes, fair enough, forgot about that really smart draft trade deal. so they could win a few this, help Stafanski keep his job (not a good idea IMO), and get a QB. I stand corrected.

they are quietly tanking for next years QB draft. IMHO. If they pay a bundle for Cousins or whoever, hell they'll be out 40mil , win a few and screw it all up. Drafting the franchise guy is what its all about in the NFL. Will the coaching staff all get fired in the process for losing 13 games? Yep. But thats the cost of doing business. An example of a team that is screwing it up is Cleveland; they are trying to win games. The Saints are playing it beautifully now that Carr is retiring. Tank and grab Archie Manning's grandson... what a story that will be.

exactly, why have seats anyway?
