For those still upset we didn’t trade up for Jordan Addison…

In case anyone didn't click the Star Tribune link above, there is a video of Addison pulling over. Looks like he pulled over on the left side of the freeway, and soon after there were four cop cars or motorcycles (?), judging from the flashing lights. It looks like one set of flashing lights is on the other side of the median, coming from the wrong direction? There is also a civilian vehicle ahead of Addison that he pulled u near when slowing down, so there was some other traffic.

Look at the shoes on that Lambo! It's stopping faster than your Prius going 65 on the thruway. 

 

Which is also super dangerous. Extreme acceleration and extreme braking are both difficult for normies in normal vehicles to react to safely. 

 

I get the appeal. In my teens I drove muscle cars, supercars, and foreign touring/rally cars. It's so easy to get yourself or someone else into trouble faster than they or someone else can react to safely. I had enough sense (and good fortune) not to make a big mistake. My worst driving moments were actually with VERY utilitarian rides, oddly enough. Less focus, maybe? I'm rambling.

Well, technically calipers, specifically 10-piston aluminum calipers on the front; but, yeah, they are impressive:

Lol that’s a misspelling of epic proportions  on me! I meant Michael Mayer… kid was unbelievably good in ND a great catcher and blocker. He did amazing with mid level to meh QBs his entire College career. 


figures the Pats’ fan would slobber over the ND prospect 🙄. Kincaid is the far better choice for what the Bills need.

First they are both capable of either being amazing or busts.  Also what did I say that was “slobbering” about him I just stated facts! He was amazing with sub par QBs, Kincaid had a QB that will actually be drafted before the 7th round. 
 

I also disagree I think either Kincaid or Mayer been a great fit in Buffalo.  I mean the potential for Kincaid is Kelce, and Mayer is Gronk..  Your GM just took who he thought was better.

Will Rising get drafted before the 7th? He’s a good college qb but that’s really all I see with him. He has nothing close to nfl caliber. Plus, he will be 25 at next years draft. He’s a qb so they get overdrafted but I think he will have a hard time sticking in the league. 
 

I really really liked both TEs. I think Mayer will be Witten 2.0 for Dallas. But I single handedly saw DK won games in college. I think his upside with Allen is tremendous.  He has a chance to be one of the top pass catching “TEs” in football though he will struggle if he has to be more of a traditional one at this point.

I think the toolsets of the two are distinct enough that you can make a case for one over the other, and obviously you know which way I lean. And Mayer as a potential Gronk is plain silly.

I may be wrong, but I thought he was a potential 4th or 5th rounder if he came out this year.. 

 

I saw Mayer (my parents are huge ND Fans, I am more a BC fan and hate the fact Flowers is a Raven lol) they played top teams and he always looked good both blocking and catching the ball in coverage. 
 

I only saw Kincaid a few times so I don’t know him as well, IMO he wasn’t a complete TE as you stated but damn can that man get open and catch the ball. 
 

I like both of them l wont be shocked if both are hugely successful since they both have good/great QBs getting them the ball.

When you have to stop 3 tons of mass ? You need massive Rotors and calipers = what is called swept area.

But its all relative. A Honda Civic with a big turbo pulling nearly 500hp from 1.8 L that weighs 2400 only needs 9" rotors a two piston caliper up front and might well stop quicker.

 

 

Those are actually two piece rotors I see with aluminum hats for better heat dissipation.

Thats some big $$

And Lambos are all about the bling.

Most of the owners i have come across? Cant actually drive them,

 True fact

 and I think that was the case here. Hence Idiot driver driving triple the limit on public road.

Damn kids

Nah. it’s a targa top, auto, with 94k miles. Red. Everything still works. Even cold ac here in Fl. Take her out once a month. I did have the original MK3 86 1/2 Supra. Manual, hard top. Northern car. Rust got to it. Sold it as a project/ parts car. Would love turbo.

After what happened to Ruggs, he’s got to be a real moron.

It would certainly appear so. Something like this certainly would indicate poor impulse control. I would be surprised if he does NOT have another similar incident before too long.
