BADOLBILZ Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 On TSW........the offseason IS the season. I can't believe it's almost over........it went by so fast. Here are some of my opinions about the best of the offseason TSW 2023 MVP...... @GunnerBill Gunner has had another tremendous offseason. His hard work and attention to detail leads to some of the most informed takes on TSW. And without a high volume linkster to steal votes I think it would have been something of a landslide. Most Improved......... @Logic I gotta' say his posting has improved immensely, IMO. I used to say his posting was ironic.........because there was a lot of illogic.........but much improved. Most interesting offseason turn of events.......Heel turns from @Einstein and @Nextmanup. Love it. Heels are the best written characters. Even though I take great pride in being universally loved here on TSW......I will admit that I have a soft spot for those who can work a crowd. Most ridiculous idea that is currently or becoming accepted........that drafting a RB in the 1st or 2nd round every 4-5 years is smart because you avoid paying a veteran. Talk about making no sense.........and yet there are some GM's who actually appear to subscribe to this. Maybe even our own. It took far too long for most teams to realize that having high quality individual RB's doesn't correlate at all to winning championships..........and despite the fact that the leading rusher on SB winning teams every year is usually a guy with a paltry amount there are still people who think you want to get a stud RB early in the draft at the expense of all of the harder to fill positions. It's nuts. It's like the people who are the last to admit that stud RB's don't make much difference gotta' find some way to still justify the need for quality. On TSW we still have our irrational 1st round RB fans and nonsense like this being kicked around by people within the league doesn't help bring fans to their senses. These are just my opinions of course but feel free to share your takes on the offseason. And remember....... @YoloinOhio departed in-season so in itself that wasn't really an offseason move. Personally, I think bellcow linksters are a thing of the past and I support a move to linkster by committee......but I digress......I think we should have these kind of acknowledgements and aspects that tell the story of a TSW offseason. 3 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Can’t argue with any of this. One thing to add is a quick shoutout to @Virgil. His mock draft threads remain some of the best on TBD. It is a lot of work but they are fun and interesting. 15 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChans Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I gotta be honest, I was really nervous about the future of the TBD franchise. Just when the Bills finally became good again, we lost @thebandit27 to early retirement and @Kirby Jacksonwho had a big retire unretire Floyd Mayweather saga. @NoSaint started posting less. Turbo and Greg got tossed Even @Doc and @Mr. WEO were only arguing across 3-4 threads instead of their usual 10. It was a dark time in TBD history.

Bill from NYC Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) There should be a category for "Best Feuds," to include ongoing arguments and even stalking (which is sanctioned in some instances). @BADOLBILZ and @Alphadawg7 should get consideration, but they seem a bit too polite and subdued to win the award. Perhaps trophies or other small prizes should be handed out at a tailgate. I am thinking one for each category (perhaps cans or bottles of beer), and the winners could say a few words. If winners cannot attend, the awards could be accepted by proxy. Edited July 20, 2023 by Bill from NYC 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saw my guy Matt Miller's posts I take it.... draft one, run them hard through their rookie deal (5 years if you drafted them round 1), franchise them once (year 6) let them walk, rinse and repeat? I have discussed this with him before, because he does profess to understand that running back is not a premium position but then he will fall in love with a guy and justify selecting them in round 1 almost every single year - which is his error. I think it is because as well a being a draft guy he is a big college football guy and running backs still matter a lot more in college football. He just can't shake that I fear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, @eball couldn’t resist to call me out after the first game of the season.😅 You said similar (but not as resounding) about the previous years team with sanders. That offense was great and had nothing to do with not winning a Super Bowl. maybe it was mcdermotts fault that bass didn’t know what to do on the kickoff. Or that Levi misplayed the defensive call? Or that Mahomes is amazing. Or maybe it’s just one thing. last year was an aberration - a season unlike any team in history went through.

eball Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I see I’m living rent-free in @ScottLaw’s head as well. Too funny. The bottom line here at TSW is that any reasonable optimism is often met with disdain by “those who know better.” Some folks know how to debate and disagree without being a-holes. Unfortunately, some also do not. I’ll continue to be the voice of reasonable optimism around here, for better or for worse. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
