Hope those days aren’t during the playoffs. Kelce: 19 catches, 207 yards, 4 TDs, and 9.4 yards per target Kittle: 8 catches, 71 yards, 0 TDs, 5.5 yards per target

When Wilson is 36, you draft another QB in the first round to groom as his replacement. Only this time, make sure he had a good coach in middle school so you don’t have to wait until he’s been in the league 5 years to make a determination as to what you’ve got.

Great TEs are possibly the rarest commodities in the NFL. There were literally 2 in the league last year. Both were in the Super Bowl.

That’s a damn shame if you ask me.

Nope. I posted the exact wording earlier. Here’s a link to the rule book. https://documents.pub/document/rule-8-forward-pass-backward-pass-rule-8-forward-pass-backward-pass-fumble.html

Why should it be based on positions at all? If you’re a “franchise player” ie. a player the franchise can’t do without, then you should be the highest paid player on the team. How can an organization call someone their franchise player and then say he’s not worth as much due to the position he plays? It makes no sense. If an organization doesn’t value Tight Ends, then don’t name a Tight End as the franchise player. Otherwise, it’s really just a license to screw one player on your team each year.

You think Gilmore can cover someone with 4 inches 60 pounds on him?

Some of us don’t retire after only working for 20 years.

808 loves to offer enormous bets knowing that nobody is stupid enough to make bets that large with some random on the internet they don’t even know so that he can spike the football and declare victory. It’s his schtick.

Were you crying about the optics when Jerry Jones was cruising around on his $250,000,000 yacht (with 2 helipads because obviously 3 would have been overkill) during the draft while everyone was cooped up in their houses? https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/nfl/dallas-cowboys/article239769263.html

For a stretch of a few years, fans of other teams playing the Bills were worried about Johnson and nobody else. If you could stop him, you were probably going to win easily.

I’d take it further and say it shouldn’t be broken out by position. If a team doesn’t value a certain position, then someone who plays that position can’t be a franchise player. If he’s the one guy your franchise can’t do without, he should be the highest paid player on the team.

He’s worth it. I’d take him over Amari Cooper even if the money was equal. Comparing him to Hooper and Henry is a joke. There are two great TEs in the league (3 if Gronkowski returns to his old self which I doubt). Everyone else is a huge step down. You could make a case that he is a top 10 player if you combine WRs and TEs. He’s easily the best offensive player on the 49ers.

Watch the Pittsburgh game and tell me Josh was even mediocre. Duck turned it over 5 times, and the Steelers had 51 rushing yards. This was one of those vaunted 4th quarter comebacks. Buffalo got over 100 yards rushing from their RBs, 5 turnovers from their defense and managed 17 points on 13 possessions. Did someone hack your account?

Explain again how he got less efficient, then. I’m confused.

You didn’t say he had a better second half. You said Minshew got less efficient and Josh got more efficient and specifically mentioned his last 3 games including that turd against Pittsburgh. I gave you both of their ratings for their last 3 games. Minshew didn’t get less efficient. His numbers dwarfed Josh’s during that same stretch.

So you think those teams laid down, but for some reason the Jags didn’t. It’s really amazing the contortion act people will go through in order to discount the fact that a late round rookie who was never groomed to be the starter threw for a higher completion percentage, more yards, more TDs, and fewer INTs than Allen. 1 yard TD runs define QB success. (Ever wonder if maybe the reason Daboll calls Josh’s number from the goal line so often when seemingly every other OC hands it to the RB is to pad the stats of the guy his bosses staked their careers on?)

Being an NFL player is first and foremost a career. Your teammates don’t pay your bills. “Next man up” sounds great until you’re the man who went down. I can’t blame anyone for getting theirs. Neither do their teammates 90% of the time. Hell, they’re usually being advised by the same agent. The Steelers lost too. They’d have made the playoffs with Bell and Brown.

This is patently untrue. Josh’s ratings in those games were 62.6, 65.2, and 102.7. Minshew’s ratings in his last 3 games were 102.8, 72.1, and 106.2.

Any truth to the rumors that he completed 59.9% of his passes for 299 yards (4 dropped passes)?

Brees isn’t in college. He was a senior 20 years ago. Talking about completion percentages 20 years ago as if they are analogous to completion percentages today is a dishonest comparison. Brees completed over 60% of his passes in college 20 years ago when the game was played differently. He was a very accurate passer in college, but comparing numbers from a guy who played in 1997 to a guy who played 2 years ago is a false equivalency.

Lot of posters here don’t want to admit it, but he was really good. Daniel Jones is another example. His team was horrible, but he showed a lot. Just to show how bad his team was, they went 1-2 in games were Jones put up these combined numbers: 13 TDs, 0 INTs, 982 yards passing. But he didn’t win enough games, so he sucks...

Using stats from a generation ago and comparing them to today’s numbers feels a little disingenuous to me. Does it get easier after a while once you get used to it?

Didn’t the Jaguars just get 21 TDs and 6 INTs from a rookie last season? How is that a mess? He’s locked in for 3 more years for about $2,000,000 total. Does he just have the wrong animal on his helmet?
