    I'm guilty of the Oliver one. I didn't think he deserved that much money, and for a few years, he did not live up to my expectations. 

     

    I don't think Elam is "TBD," though. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but he's a bust in my eyes. 

     

    Gabe still has a lot of value, though I'm not saying he should get a massive contract. $10-12 million a year is actually on the low-mid range for WRs these days. Top guys like Hill are getting $25-$30 million per year, while other #1 guys are hitting $20 million yearly. 

     

    Beane's picks the last 2 years have definitely been pretty good, so I'm happy overall. 

     

     

    same here, i totally thought ed was just an ok guy.  he's better than that.

     

    we did lack beef up front, dquan and linval solve that quick tho.

     

    i wonder if we are gonna activate them both for the playoffs

  2. edmunds is just a man amongst boys in terms of attributes and stature.

     

    He's also super young, i think that also impresses people.

     

    he's just not that great of a linebacker.  for all of his size and power, he's really not that physical. 

     

    if you put poyer's heart and football mind in edmund's body, you'd have a 10 time all pro guy who walks to canton on a street named after him.

    Didn't you get enough attention as a kid?  

     

    maybe im just ADDICTED to attention, which i've come to learn from the wise and informed on here is a disease!

     

    hey, im five minutes sober now, will you guys be throwing me a parade?  i cured my own disease, via not doing the thing i did before.  like magic!

    well, tbh i'm not acknowledging what the modern meaning of disease is, which is something that absolves a person of their own bad actions.

     

    so in a way, you are correct.  but, in another more accurate way, no, no you are quite wrong.

    It's recognized as a disease by doctors, governmental bodies, etc.

     

     

    so have many other things that are no longer recognized as such by the same people.  a political organization making a political action doesn't change reality no matter how hard they try.  

     

    if you really want to do something, but know it's not good for you so you stop, that doesn't fit any reasonable definition of disease.  the argument that they simply cannot stop is questionable.  long and large enough abuse of some substances (alcohol, opiates) can lead to an actual disease whereby if the addict were to just stop cold turkey they have severe health consequences, including potentially death. 

     

    in (and at least some have been replicated so there is at least a bit of validity to them) studies of intertemporal preferences of drug addicts (meaning straight up threw their life away and are homeless) drug addicts demonstrate rational behavior where they will forgo a portion of narcotics to which they are addicted today for a larger portion tomorrow (and various other time periods).  this shows self interested rationality.  no one who is lactose intolerant will "tolerate" lactose for some kind of reward, nor will our epileptic hold off on seizures for some kind of pay off.

  6. the difference to me, and it's not huge, is that brady has drives stalled w penalties and bad execution and somehow finds a way to overcome late (NE, miami, chargers).

     

    dorseys stuff looked bad in games (giants, Jags, denver, TB) and really just didn't correct course it seemed like.

     

    now, given brady came in late and is picking up from dorsey, i give him a higher grade (marked on a curve i'd say).

     

    one other item to note, we've tended to have the ball in our hands late in games we had leads in.  NE, Miami, and a few others.  not desperation stuff, but we had a chance to score again if we needed to, and i think we would have more often than not.

     

    either way, he's got 2 home playoff games, just like dorsey did last season, so we will see what he can scheme up.

  7. miami figured out our run plays, and saw that we can't handle blitzes well, especially w pressure up the middle.

     

    on the other side, they spaced us out and used their literally record nfl team speed to get to the edge and gash us over and over again in run plays.

     

    all that said, they had 3 extra possessions and totalled under 300 yards and we were a couple plays away from being over 500.  statistically we are savage beasts and horrible monsters to play.
