The league wants you to peel off at the last second even tho it might be physically impossible. It’s because of when Anthony Barr broke Rodgers shoulder
Why doesn't the NFL just adopt the rules of flag football? That would solve everything. Then no more hurty boo boos for any QBs.

Under the new rules you can’t land on the QB with all of your force it’s stupid but it’s the rule
This can't be real

Well if we thought RTP was BS last year, looks like it's going to be worse this year.
Why not just give QBs a flag?

Such a sneaky great signing. Making teams start inside the 20 multiple times a game will be huge
And he was cheaper. Punter is an interesting position. Haack would be a pretty bad punter on like...the Jets, because he can't boom it like Bojo can but so many times Bojo's power worked against us.

Spencer Brown has been AWFUL
Guy's played 2 seasons as an OT ever, didn't play last year and never played against good competition. It would be a surprise if he wasn't awful.

feel the same way about Tim Hortons. You WNYers are gaga about it. I don't get it.. It's one step up from Your Host (or what we used to call Your Hole) for you old timers on here. My family gave me gift cards to Tim Hoes. Said thank you very much.. I regifted them... 🙂
Supporting the theory that WNYers are closet Canadians. I can't go 5 minutes without seeing a Tim Hortons, what about their non-doughnut doughnuts, canned soup, boring sandwiches or mediocre coffee is appealing to New Yorkers? At least in Canada it's a cultural thing.

There is so much Trey Lance love out there, perhaps because Josh Allen was part of the build up going into the draft? But I just don't see strong parallels to Josh, and will call him being a bit of a bust.
But then again I'm not high on any of these QBs, having an immediate positive impact on their teams this year, but going into year two I think Fields and Lawrence both bring good things to the table.
Fields went vegan, so automatic bust. He's going to be constantly injured and ineffective.

But wait- Bills fans told me I must hate Cowherd
Cowherd definitely sucks. He's a reactionary who blows with the prevailing winds, and does flip flop constantly with very little in the way of original content. Often, I feel like he does things just to stir up controversy, which might be why he gets on so well with Nick Wrong.
That being said, this little monologue was actually quite on point and something I hadn't really considered. Sometimes, even awful pundits have solid takes. Like Chris Broussard just had one on the Josh/Lamar/Baker debate.

Messi aside (and there are lots of reasons why he is an excpetion) there are no soccer players earing that much. The top paid player in the Premier League (richest league in the world) is Kevin De Bruyne on about £20m a year - which is what? $28m?
It is also worth saying though that those soccer stars play upwards of 50 games per year for that money. When you break it down per game NFL players are extremely well paid. Not saying that is right or wrong, and the top of the pyramid in the NFL is smaller (ie. number of soccer players who earn over $20m per year will be much higher than the number of NFL players that do) but the top NFL stars are paid more than all but 1 or 2 soccer stars.
You also have to take into account the average career length in both sports, where it isn't close.

500K is tops in the CFL and you need league approval to hand that out
Damn, they pay that much? Legitimately surprising. CFL is so weird, the bigger the city, the less they generally care about it. The Argos bleed money.

I’ve been watching Colin slowly turn from critic to fan. He’s all in on JA17 and McBeane. Joy is still only grudgingly going along. She acknowledges he’s good and her assessment was wrong but inevitably brings up year 1 and says something akin to disaster.
She's still on the Lamar is better train.

That second to last guy shouted some really valid points.
Which is embarrassing because he's well known for being a massive idiot. When he's the smartest guy in the room, that's not a good sign.

So basically if Aaron Rodgers faltered in the last 5 games of 2020 and Josh ended up winning MVP then that would effect if Lamar should make more than JA or not?? Yeah idiotic thinking...how about going based off how good they are NOW...period...what will 2 seasons ago performance have to do with anything?
Apparently everything.
Skip to 2:30 to hear utter stupidity. I don't care if people think Lamar will be better. They're wrong, but it's their opinion. Justifying it by saying "durr he win MVP once!" is sooooo dumb

It's a reasonable argument for his agent to make, but I agree the MVP vote should not impact the final dollars.
For his agent, yes. I would expect him to use it. However, for a pundit to say you expect Lamar Jackson to be a better QB going forward because he previously won an MVP makes absolutely no sense.

It's an interesting idea: get a bunch of NFL insiders to rate QBs. But this approach has limitations. For example, how much does the Giants OC really know about Allen? Or the personnel guy at the Falcons who oversees college scouting?
These guys don't watch every game of every team.
I'm sure everyone one of the coaches and execs polled know more about the NFL than I do. But I think most of us on this board know more about Josh Allen.
I dunno if this is relevant, but something that bothers me is that no one really seems to take Josh's mental makeup into account. I'm not going to say he faced Brady level adversity in his early career, but he has that same mentality that made Brady the QB he is and still going at 44. Josh's competitive drive is possibly unmatched in the NFL. He's intelligent. He's coachable. He is one of the most physically gifted QBs of all time.
Tons of players break under the pressure and scrutiny Josh has had to endure, and he's simply thrived under it. Combine everything and I honestly think at the end of this season, we'll be asking whether Josh has surpassed Mahomes.
Might be a homer take, though. He'll never be satisfied being second best at anything.

Just wait till Mayfield or Jackson sign their deals. Honestly comparing these contracts is not gonna get anyone anywhere. They’re all based on timing and salary cap more than anything else.
While I want Jackson and Mayfield to sign for as much as Josh or more, I am so tired of hearing the argument that Lamar Jackson should get more bcuz MVP. That is their only go to. Never mind that Allen's 2020 was better than Lamar's 2019, nevermind that the Ravens finished behind the Jets in passing yards. No, and I am not mischaracterizing or exaggerating, real people who get paid to talk about football actually argue that Lamar will have a better career because he won an MVP.
Where can I apply? I know probably less than most casual fans but pretty sure I could still run circles around these dummies.

No comment on how good she is at what she does (never seen or read anything she’s done), but yeah those should absolutely be rounded to avoid being what I would consider misleading stats.
Unless she has reason to believe her predictions are truly accurate to the thousandths place.
Her predictions aren't her predictions. She constructs a model where you can input numerous data points including weather, opposition, projected playing time, etc. Then that model gives a number. She constructs the basis for giving that number, but not the number itself.
And is rounding really that hard?

Does this mean we will finally learn what the trade was that she said was going down?
She didn't say trade AFAIK, she could have been alluding to this? 😐

a) agreed this is an insane comment .. he is an all-pro
b) he was expressing his honest / uninformed opinion .. certainly not facts.. he should avoid scouting when he retires
Was it uninformed when at the same time tons of people in the media were saying as bad or worse? It's all there, documented.
Anyway, yeah, bad thing to say but I'm not going to get butthurt and say that I'd refuse the best CB in the NFL for vet minimum because he was mean to Josh.

Even if Ramsey would come to Buffalo on the vet minimum, I wouldn’t take him. He’s a trash human being. You can’t build a team around those type of “me” people.
A) insane statement
B) you know absolutely nothing about him other than that he said mean things about Allen because he was speaking honestly.
