Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) I think the market has sort of spoken on Gilmore. For such a “great player,” it seems like no one wants to pay him like one. we can debate whether he is good or great or a bum— but if he is so valuable, wouldn’t he be paid like a top-5 or top-10 corner?

Gilmore, who isn’t on the list, added the comment, “Oh ok.” Quite clearly not OK with his contract, Gilmore did not attend the Patriots’ mandatory minicamp. He and the Patriots have reportedly not made any significant progress in negotiating a new deal. Hilarious to see Tre White at the top of the list and Gilmore can't crack the top-10. Maybe shouldn't have been so quick to bail on Buffalo for more "time in the spotlight". Doesnt seem to have been the best paying plan. Meanwhile, Tre is chasing those "Daddy Pegula" checks!

1ManRaid Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 6 hours ago, GunnerBill said: The "he doesn't get flagged because he plays for New England" is way overblown. He got 12 flags as a Bill his rookie year. If you discount that year when he got flagged because he was still learning the NFL and did grab too often, he averages 1 penalty a year fewer in his 4 years in New England than he did in his other 4 years in Buffalo. It's something but it isn't much and it doesn't support the assertion that he gets away with a ton more because he is in New England. You're assuming his play style remained the same after leaving the Bills. He went to a team that taught him to cheat, and his penalties went DOWN. He was great with the Bills, but the illegal contact is what made him elite with the Pats. 4 hours ago, corta765 said: Howard is legit, Maxwell on the other hand is decent to good but does have flaws.

But as for the Diggs issue--that was correctly settled by me at the time: not a top 10 WR in 2019: he was 17th in total yards (15th for WR). Missed a game, you say? He wasn't even top 5 in WR with less than 16 games played.. Then you tried to add some imaginary yards based on "YPG"--another category in which he was (barely) top 10 only if you ignore the much better receiver (to that point) Kelce--and barely. So...you were forced to argue that, if you eliminate Kelce, Waller (and Kittle)....and then add yards that Diggs didn't record for a game he didn't play, then he sits nicely at #10 for 2019! Well played! keep "Digg"-ing , doc. You're almost there! #stepontherake It was the most memorable (for everyone!) example of how your losses are wins in your mind.

And then he proceeded to lead the league in yards and receptions. Why you chose to fight, and then die, on that hill I'll never understand. Again the bottom line WRT Bruce's statement is that he added nothing by specifying a narrow time period with a particular team except for making people wonder who it was and therefore possibly making the player or players uncomfortable. There is nothing wrong with that difference of opinion so why you went ape ***** over it I'll also never understand. Especially when you've only ever trashed Bruce. Judging by Hap needing to inform you that Bruce specified a time period makes me think you never saw that but were so entrenched that you had to keep digging. So I'll give you a pass.

Snyder will though, inevitably. doc we went over this. He was 15th in yards and tied for 44th in catches. No one ranks a "top 10 YPG" for any position. No one nowhere. You were the one who said he would have had whatever yards in that 16th game to put him the top 10 for a full season. I disagreed. You suggested Bruce say he played with a gay team mate and not mention the Bills. I pointed out the obvious, Bruce played 15 years with the Bills--so it didn't matter that he said "late 90's". With your advice, everyone would still have assumed he meant the Bills, not Washington. Speaking of Washington, why do you keep LOL'ing over the squatter's multiple public claims (a year ago, no less) that are undisputed by the NFL, by Snyder---anyone but you--that he offered the trademarks for free? What do you have to counter this to make it laughable? Since you are the only one disputing it, who else is among my choices to "believe"? There's just you and the squatter's undisputed claims. So, you make no sense with this one. McCaulay tried to register WFT (before Snyder). "The agency concluded that the name refers to a geographic area that is too generic, and that the notorious trademark squatter Martin McCaulay already has submitted an application for the name. (The first conclusion seemingly would invalidate McCaulay’s claim, too.)". If "inevitably" approved, why would Snyder get it ahead of the squatter?

Of course not. You can ignore his time in Washington as if he didn't have teammates or the 11-12 other years in Buffalo or the numerous other players he played with in Pro Bowls and socialized with over his 20 years if you like.

And the NFL and Snyder aren't going to comment on him. Snyder never even bothered to return his calls. If he truly wanted to resolve this, he'd cancel his trademarks and leave a message he’d done so.

He had a year or two of being probably the best, but not anymore. Unfortunately, once he sours on a team he doesn't play as hard and goes into self preservation mode. We saw it in Buffalo and the Patriots are seeing it too. Now he is holding out. Despite his talent, I am glad he was not re-signed in Buffalo. I don't really like him.

Therefore Everyone who heard his comment could assume it was a player in Buffalo had he followed your advice. I'm not sure what over reaction to this news of Bruce's you are referring to. You are the one who took issue with his statement, irrationally thinking this would lead to the player's outing now (see NoSaint's post above as to why that is not a logical concern). I don't know how to make McCaulay's history more simple for you. It is well documented in about every major news/sports out for over a year now (even going back over 5 years ago. Yet no one has disputed his claim. You are simply fabricating this "he's just lying" angle. Snyder didn't return his calls presumably because he doesn't want any of the names he trademarked. The squatter hired a lawyer a year ago because he was receiving threats on Twitter, etc. This is what the lawyer published (again, a year before last week's story broke about the WFT rejection): "In my diligence, I noted that McCaulay previously tried to communicate with the National Football League (the email I mentioned in another post), offering any of his pending or registered marks for free. He even asked, “Are you waiting for me to offer to pay you to take them off my hands?” "At noon on July 15 (this was 2020), I disseminated a letter with the hope that it would clear the air as to who McCaulay is and what he stands for. McCaulay is a man with an expensive hobby of filing trademark applications and actually using the marks in connection with the goods and services stated in the descriptions of the applications. He is someone who has no desire to be a “trademark troll”; he will get out of the Washington NFL team’s way as soon as the team contacts him (if it decides to rebrand with any of the marks that McCaulay has sought to register)." But yeah, everyone is lying...only because you say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
