  1. People in here getting excited about safeties.
  2. Late-career Cam, the now-retired Bridgewater, and Sam Howell versus Josh Allen. Think Shakir's QB is the same as the aforementioned 3 QB's Samuel's played with. As in, their production being similar is the comparison? If you do, then it's time to head back to the Sabres Board.
  3. Maybe the guy throwing them the ball helped one guy's production versus having inhibited the other.
  4. FIFY They got Mitchell Trubisky, Mack Hollins and Nick Morrow...what more do people want?
  5. Talking about the center position. Next week it'll be back to another top safety or DT. Maybe even a RB. These off-seasons get longer every year and I didn't think that was possible about 10 years ago.
  6. What if we had thread titles which briefly identified the point of the thread AND did not ask a question? It would be amazing.
  7. Maybe the old-timers were right back in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Lifting lots of weights may not be conducive to staying healthy and flexible enough to play baseball. The wear and tear of a 162 game schedule, compared to the 17 game NFL season, IMO is more about flexibility and endurance and less about raw power. Then again, I still love my 1920s/30s/40s/50s era Yankees when Pete Sheehy was the equipment manager and poor athletic training was the norm.
  8. There are many contenders for TBD's quibbling champion. You're making your case right now...best of luck!
  9. 288 touches for 1242 yards and 10 TDs is now every bit as good as 339 touches for 2023 yards and 21 TDs. I understand now.
  10. And when your job is on the line as Daboll's is this season, you're pushing to use all that cap space available. Because there might not be a next season.
  11. Multi-year contract of ~13M/per to a 27 year old RB who average sub-4.0 YPC and has missed 21 games in last 4 seasons? Ouch. If that's winning UFA on Day 1 I don't want to know what losing looks like. NFC East keeps getting worse.
  12. I am resigned to Cam Lewis re-signing. Keeping and overpaying your guys is a major reason they're restructuring many of them 1-2 years down the road. Have to see more of the contract details, but for now...meh.
  13. HR at most corporations is almost worthless because the least talented people go there. And now most functions like benefits are online. By the way, who were the starting safeties for KC or SF last season? And were those guys 1st/2nd team All-Pro or even Pro Bowl selections last year? None of them were and it wouldn't have mattered much if it did against excellent offenses.
  14. Safety talent is to NFL football in the 2020s like HR is to a corporation. Even having good ones doesn't really matter that much.
  15. It is absurd to think the HC (who didn't have the time to figure out the QB position 3 months from the draft in 2017) could assess during that time how the 2018 QB class would fare AND that Buffalo would get into position to draft one. A new HC who needed help to draft a WR from the new position coach and then got intel from Carolina to jump up and take an OT in RD2. The problem McD had in the 2017 off-season was he didn't prioritize the QB or offense in general and defaulted to what he knew: secondary and defense. It was a strategic decision made by him, the dominant voice in the room (and still is) to go down that road. You well know that rebuilding teams don't have a chance in back to back years to find a veritable franchise QB. Missed opportunities don't typically have happy endings for those teams, of which there are a few notables across the NFL right now. Delaying the decision to draft a QB is often how new GMs and HC's wind up among the unemployed. The trade for Tre, on its face was bad then but is seen as worse not because we have hindsight on Mahomes. It was bad investing a 1st round pick at a position that, from a positional value standpoint, features zone corners who aren't top picks or big dollar UFAs. McD has demonstrated he can get adequate play from lesser value picks/UFAs. McD has and probably always will be stubborn to a fault by not acquiescing to the fact the NFL is offense-driven and his vision does not align with that. He just started demonstrating that really early in 2017.
