Whenever somebody posts something about Marino the post is like "one of my favs, take a look" or "best in the biz, worth the time". I just want one of these posts to be like "likely a bad person, check it out anyway".

It's pretty equal with the loud ones from each side. Most of us don't really care and accept people with different opinions.

I always read the R&R and this was the best one. Thank you. I want to go all in on this concept but I don't believe we will ever see another position group go the way of RB. Perhaps the largest reason RB's are devalued is they can't produce for more than 5-6 years. Teams figured if they have to take a gamble in the draft and the best case result is 5-6 years then no point exists in taking the gamble. That is largely how we got to our current state. WR's just don't have that restriction on life. It's also a fairly nuanced position. The upper tier, even guys that you mention specifically like Kupp and Brown, they can really run routes. That's what the NFL is all about. They're coming into the league more polished but you will only have so many guys each year run a sub 4.4 with elite football speed, size, and coordination. Maybe 3-4 per year. The fact that many of these guys could also play DB which also pays a premium will further also stabilize the WR demand pool. If that market starts to become saturated we will see more play corner. I think that is already happening to some degree.

McMarty is my safe word

Derek Brown led the NFL in tackles for a DT How about the Bengals have like 2 healthy offensive lineman when they blew us out?

Given he appears like a Lions fan I'm going with Canadian

Yup, I didn't feel that way until coming to San Diego. I didn't see much of this in Ohio/Michigan. Drivers here are actually pretty bad. I hear Atlanta is also a mess.

People that drive excessively fast in heavy traffic. I get going fast, but you're barely arriving earlier than other people when it's that slow. Just chill the "F" out.

They did have two pro bowl level TE's for a stretch. One Hall of Fame TE for most the run. When they did finally pursue a stud they produced the greatest offense of all time (somehow not winning the Super Bowl). I think in hindsight that could be viewed as a mistake. If Brady had a Moss like WR for most his career he would have at least a few more rings I would think.

A lot of people really have no clue who Brady is. Not saying I do either, but the guy is an ENFP on the Meyers Briggs. For context Robin Williams is probably to most famous male ENFP of all time. These people are usually actors, comedians, or artists. Can easily take jokes and role with the punches. They like being the center of attention, it doesn't matter if the joke is on them.

Cleveland

Sources deep from within tell me whatever this is could also involve Zach Ertz.

Plaxico is Gabe Davis? By all means, explain that one.

WGN was the only time I recall an out of market channel being broadcast in other regions. Not sure if WGN was in Buffalo as well but it was in Detroit. So nearly all Bulls games. Then the Cubs and White Sox.

Big body, contested catch guy, a little more like Keon than I would say Gabe is, but not an athlete compared to him. Keon has a 38 inch vertical compared to Dukes 30 inch vertical. That is a huge difference. Keon ran the 10 yard sprint at 1.54 which is above average for a guy his size while Williams was at 1.70. We haven't had a lot of bigger contested catch types here. Certainly none with this sort of athletic ability.

Coleman is two inches taller, 3 inches more vertical, faster 10 yard sprint, way more athletic. Gabe was our deep threat. His hands sucked, limited route tree. He gave us no additional bump in the red zone. He wasn’t a jump ball or contested catch guy. They both have reasonably slower 40’s and are not short. The players have nothing else in common besides that. We haven’t had a Coleman in this offense yet it really in Buffalo since I can remember. Who would be a Buffalo comp to the guy even going back to the 90’s? I don’t think we have had one.

What does Coleman have in common with Davis outside of being bigger than average? I don’t see anything else.

Josh Allen QBR ranks 2023 3rd 2022 2nd 2021 6th 2020 3rd Cam Newton QBR Ranks 2014 18th 2015 11th 2016 25th 2017 19th

This is boring, but you clearly need it spelled out Josh Allen QBR ranks 2023 3rd 2022 2nd 2021 6th 2020 3rd Cam Newton QBR Ranks 2014 18th 2015 11th 2016 25th 2017 19th I got you most of the way. How about you finish this off and let me know how often teams makes the playoffs with a top 5 QBR vs 15 QBR or lower? I know it is hard for you to understand that a team with less talent can actually perform more consistently but it's actually rather common when you have top 5 QB. If you want to give Beane all the credit for landing an elite QB and supporting him with nothing that is ok. If you want to celebrate being champions over the Miami Dolphins each year that is ok as well. I think most of us would like to actually win a SB and for that to happen we need more talent than a "crappy Panthers team" that couldn't even win a Super Bowl or sustain success who only played scrubs. 😂

QB play, it sort of takes that to be good right? Lets go win another AFC east crown!

I think we are underestimating Samuel. I see him ahead of Shakir but I suppose it's a good sign that people see it differently. As a whole I think this group is going to surprise people. I can't help but think back to MLB last year where it appeared like we had nothing and Beane didn't care and he knew what we had in Bernard. I'm hopeful WR/TE plays out that way this year. I expect one of those guys, perhaps even two, to be signifgantly more productive than they ever have. First bet would be Dalton, second Samuel. I think Knox or even Shorter could also crash the party. Then Keon will be a huge piece for Josh out of structure and in the red zone in his first year.

So you feel Buffalo has been better? Not sure why that triggered you so greatly. You yourself just said at the very most 3 position groups are better out of what? 8 total? The furthest we have gone is not as far as they went. Now we enter rebuilding and sure, we can possibly hang another AFC east banner this year but is that because we built a better team or as you said we have gotten much better contributions at QB? How much does it even matter? Who cares about the AFC east titles if we don’t have the talent to go further. Outside that MVP year Newton did not perform like a Top 3 QB and just because you give this regime credit for Josh consistently doing so the reason we consistently fall short is because we cant build a better all around team. At least that’s what it appears to me. I mean, when you look at the positional groupings of a team many people including yourself have basically called trash, then you consider that we are not better than the trash in the majority of those groupings. Hmmm. Maybe that is why I made this post. For all our success I was surprised that those Carolina squads had more talent. Which to me says a lot about the perceived success of this regime and the direction it’s going. This is not the first rodeo for any of them and the face that in many ways it looks the same or worse doesn’t get me all hot and bothered.
