I think Von is gonna be saved for obvious passing situations. It seems like there's little value in starting him, especially on run downs. Ray Davis had 8 fumbles in 840 touches (carries + receptions) in college. That's 1 fumble every 105 touches. That's very low. Of those 8 fumbles 3 were recovered by the other team. Almost every NFL Head Coach is averse to starting a player until they TRUST that player. Trust has to be earned.

I just don't trust those... gonna stick with my videocassette recorder... Beta beats VHS for sure. All of the recent changes in kickoff rules over the years (no running start by coverage team, restrictions on number of people in a wedge, etc) were made to make kickoffs safer because there was an incommensurate amount of injuries on kickoffs. It doesn't look that much safer to me. There were a few big collisions that I saw in that small sample size. The returners are particularly still at risk. The consensus opinion is that the teams are gonna keep the trick plays under wraps until they're needed.

Yes Josh is a close 2nd to Mahomes IMO. It doesn't invalidate the consensus that Mahomes has been a better QB than Josh up till now but I believe that many people would be surprised if you polled Bills fans about which QB they'd rather have. I'd rather have Josh and I'm guessing that I'm far from alone as far as fan voting goes. Yes I'd love to have Jefferson over Diggs but that's a separate discussion.

Call me crazy but I'm just fine with "losing" Mahomes and getting Josh as a consolation prize. And what does Jefferson (Diggs) have to do with this discussion? Andy Reid had a .583 winning percentage in 14 seasons coaching the Eagles. His teams made the playoffs in 9 of those 14 seasons and he took his teams to 5 NFC Championship games and a Super Bowl. He was probably a Hall of Fame coach before he went to Kansas City.

What a great career for a 5th round pick. He earned $31.5 million over 9 years. Kudos to a real pro and a good soldier.

Hall of Famers Rod Woodson and Ronnie Lott both transitioned from CB to Safety later in their careers. Vic Fangio's protestations notwithstanding, it's a move that has been made by many players over the decades. Another thing that hasn't been brought up that is VERY relevant is that Rasul Douglas is in the last year of his contract. I would bet immense sums of money that he has ZERO DESIRE to switch to a position where he'll be making much less money. I actually think with his traits that he would be a great safety some day but the original suggestion isn't anywhere in the realm of possibility at this time.

Does that include anything to do with beach chairs? Donovan McNabb was a very good quarterback... so there's that too.

This seems like a good place to mention that today was the 5th practice of training camp. There will be 7 more practices at St. John Fisher before they break camp on August 8th. They move to Orchard Park where there will be 3 preseason games and approximately 12 more practices before the final cutdown date of August 27th. This is the date that all teams must go from 90 to 53 players. In other words, today was the 5th of about 24 practices before the final cutdown.

Rodgers said he had always wanted to go to Egypt, “ever since I was in a gifted and talented education class,” and that he and coach Robert Saleh are on the same page about his decision to miss minicamp and the team’s decision to fine him for that decision. A non-douchebag would have said "ever since I was in elementary/middle/high school." Funny how he let that "slip out." https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/aaron-rodgers-i-knew-i-would-get-fined-and-also-knew-how-much-i-wanted-to-be-in-egypt

It is meaningful depending on the industry. Most of it isn’t journalism… it’s simply “content.”

Always enjoyed Blake Griffin. For me, this is an all-time car advertisement... "I'm not here for a history lesson..." 😆

BT, I misconstrued and misinterpreted your entire post. Apologies. Did you generate a report in Statmuse? I'm still a bit confused.

Please don't interpret this as a cynical view of Claypool's acts of kindness but always remember these wise words: "The true test of a man's character is what he does when no one is watching." John Wooden

What a strange list and contradicted by the heading "when playing 70+ games." Why do they mention 70+ games at the same time including players with less than 500 career passing attempts? What exactly is the criteria? Among other things it makes me wonder if this is a human or a non-human error.

Toohill is Trent Murphy without the big contract.

Yes, Otto Graham by a mile or two. No one else really close. Was Bernie better than Brian Sipe? If so not by very much.

You have more question marks than The Riddler's wardrobe. Sometimes as they say, "It just didn't work out."
