Read this. There are over 5X the amount of African-Americans in jail compared to white people.
Racial biasing in policing absolutely does exist and is part of the problem, but there are also plenty of other contributing factors to this that need to be addressed.

It seemed as if Biden was making ground with older/white voters whom went heavily for Trump in 2016.
Since these riots are happening largely in blue states/cities I could see this negatively impacting this particular groups perception of democratic leadership.
It might not be a bad idea for Biden to publicly criticize De Blasio whom once again has proven to be completely inept.

I’m so sick of these clickbait articles. This exercise can be done by anyone on an message board or twitter.

My concern with paying Dak is the 1/2 a season he played without Amari Cooper.

I say Fitz starts the first 4 games (ish). Tua is a great prospect with big injury concerns. If healthy his accuracy and play fakes are elite. I’m not saying that he will have Brees career but he plays a lot like him.
I really think it’s in Tuas best interest to sit out this season (or its majority). By all accounts he suffered a very serious injury. It’s tough enough to play QB in the NFL as a rookie-spending the entire offseason rehabbing a major injury on top of that adds another major challenge. Add that to the fact that there were no mini camps/rookie OTAs. I’d imagine he will also be somewhat limited at the start of training camp.3 minutes ago, Happy said:Fitz won't change, he will have his good games and lose it for you in other games with multiple pics. He's what that team needs right now, no sense in rushing Tua along, especially after an injury and being a rookie. Miami will end up 7-9 or 8-8.
Fitz has a tendency to revert back into a pumpkin when folks start talking him up. -
What are the chances Ryan Fitzpatrick regresses? 80-90 percent?
Tua is good prospect, but its a bit of a stretch that he is going to come in and play well as a rookie, coming off a broken hip, and in a limited offseason.

Honestly people have every right to be outraged. How the hell did all those cops sit there and allow that happen? You think one guy would have had a brain and realized they were being recorded and that it looked really bad.

Jones had a few WOW games. No doubt.
He's not without his own issues. He's got to clean up his fumbling issues. 18 fumbles in 12 starts. He had five combined fumbles in the two one score losses you reference. Allen's known for fumbling but Jones rookie year makes Allen look like Drew Brees or Peyton Manning when it comes to ball security in comparison.
For the record I'm fine if someone prefers Jones over Allen. You can't overlook the great games Jones had on a pretty bad team.
I’ve watched:
4 years of Mark Sanchez
2 years of Geno Smith
2 years of Sam Darnold
3 guys, 8 seasons, and bottom 5 QB play each year.
Fans try so hard to prop their guy up, but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck-it’s not an eagle, it’s a duck.
Bills/Jets/Giants fans can hope and pray, but if I’m a betting man all three guys aren’t going to be future top 10 QBs based on what I’ve seen.

Road Graders? With the exception of Becton the Jets oline is all smaller/athletic guys who are considered better pass blockers than run blockers. I think most Jets fans are hoping this unit can improve from awful to average. We aren’t talking about the Hogs here.

Its all click bait. There is zero content right now in the sports world so editors are having their media personalities discuss/write about things that rile up the masses.
I’m so nauseated by power rankings and QB rankings. How many of these geniuses had SF in the Super Bowl and Lamar Jackson the MVP this time last year?

Whiffing on the first round pick is a killer.
Shaq Lawson, Sammy Watkins, EJ Manuel, Stephon Gilmore, Marcel Dareus, CJ Spiller, Aaron Maybin, Leodis McKelvin, Donte Whitner, Lee Evans. It's a long string of players who didn't make a difference. Gilmore is about the only one who lived up to his draft position. Sammy, Dareus, Leodis, Whitner all underperformed draft position. Maybin, Spiller, Manuel were whiffs. Too early to tell on Shaq, but he's almost certainly not a whiff.
Since then, Bills have drafted White, Allen, Edmunds and Oliver. Too early to tell on them, too, but all the early indications are that Bills got good value on each pick. Likely the same conclusion on Diggs.
GMs outsmart themselves. They keep trying to hit home runs in the first round. The key is, as you say, not whiffing in the first round. You don't have to get the player with the highest upside, just a very good player. So you take an Oliver, not a Maybin. Maybin looked to have the potential of a great, great edge rusher, but his floor was someplace in the sub-basement. He was boom or bust. Oliver was much more likely to be, at a minimum, a solid starter. Whiffing on Maybin hurt much more than getting Oliver's floor - if Bills end up with Oliver's ceiling, it's a huge win, but so long as he's solid it was a good pick. .
The NFL is pretty good at this, but not perfect. You are 100 percent correct that they outsmart themselves often.
Josh Allen last year was prime example:
Terrific production as a 4 year starter, top notch athleticism, team captain, played vs SEC competition. He should have absolutely been a top 3-4 pick and somehow falls to 7. Why? Because NFL scouts started nitpicking the way he got the sacks and claimed his pass rush moves weren’t adequate.
DeShaun Watson another great example of this. He fell because teams claimed he was too much of a first read guy and that wouldn’t translate at the next level.
I think scouts sometimes forget how young these guys are and the fact that the NFL has coaches for a reason.

40MM seems like a bargain if Dak gets 35. -

lol @defending the Jets. They went 6-2. It’s a simple fact. Relax some.That record was a bit of a mirage because of the competition, but you can only play who’s on your schedule.
I do think the Jets had a very underrated defense. They were well coached and it’s a unit that features a lot of “workman” like guys who are young, hungry, and have played together for a while.
On offense its a completely different story. Poorly coached and breaking in a ton of new pieces.

It’s hard to imagine another Patriots level dynasty that sustains for 10 years let alone 20. Could I see a team going on a run and winning two Super Bowls in four years or three in five? Sure, but the league just isn’t designed for dynasty’s.
Think about how much roster turnover there is in the NFL. How many Buffalo Bills players were on the roster three years ago? I can guaranty you that three years from now 3/4ths of the roster will change. That’s how it works in this league.

I bought 40 shares of draft kings stock just to try it out.
An interesting one to me is Entercom which owns a lot of the sports radio stations. Their is down to $1.03 per share. Overall a lot of the media companies look to be undervalued.

Look for Oliver to serve a four game suspension in 2021

I wonder how many lives we would have saved had we encouraged families to pull their relatives from
nursing homes. PA/NJ/NY mandated nursing homes to accept Covid patients which was incredibly dumb
Did anyone really think having the sick and elderly living amongst each other in a communal environment during a pandemic was a good idea?

Just of curiosity, so that we can gauge your level of bias and realism...
You’ve stated that you see Allen having a Culpepper/Newton like career. What type of career do you see Sam Darnold having? Who would you compare HIM to?
By the way, you might want to take a look at Elway’s career stats. Allen has actually completed a higher percentage of passes, thrown more TDs and less interceptions through his first two years than Elway did. Even in year 3 of Elway’s career, he threw more INTs than TDs. The point is that Hall of Fame QBs don’t just IMMEDIATELY start out their careers at a Hall of Fame level. Favre is another good illustration of this.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/ElwaJo00.htm
Please do not compare stats in Elways era to QBs today. If you look just at stats you’d probably wonder how Elway and Brett Favre are in the HOF. It’s no different than comparing Joe Namath to Elway and Favre back in the 90s. It’s a totally different sport. John Elway was probably the best QB prospect of all time. He was far more accurate down the field than what Allen has shown thus far.As for Darnold? I think he mostly closely resembles Jameis Winston both in terms of style of play and inconsistency.
Kaepernick and the National Anthem
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted
I’m sorry, but an NFL field is not the place to be protesting IMO. The national anthem is really designed to honor those men and women who served in the military and in some instances gave their lives/lost limbs doing so. If players want to raise awareness for these issues there are other ways to do so that don’t require the use of their employers platform.
