  1. Jets Broncos is brutal
  2. The Offense IS Josh Allen, so....not so great with other former QBs.
  3. Like the 2006-09 Chargers! Yeah!!!!
  4. well, as you pointed out, they had years of misalignment with the staff and FO. Hiring Schoen was the first mistake. He had done nothing of note other than be in the building with Beane. I have no doubt at all that they hired Daboll because they thought he could work some magic with him, as they felt he did with Allen (who was felt to be a raw prospect).
  5. This was predictable error on their part. Everyone could see how limited Jones was--even in their "playoff year", where they went 3-4-1 after the bye. 15 passing TDs, 3200 yards (a good season, for him). They were bereft of talent on Offense. Sticking with Jones could only result in the prolonged death that team is dying. If the owners of the Giants didn't think Daboll "made" Josh Allen, do they hire him in the first place? They certainly would not have kept Jones unless they believed Daboll could "make" him too.
  6. you're right--only been 8 years. too soon
  7. turns out, he's not... either way, nowadays, this gets in writing as a routine. there is no need for wink wink deals anymore. these kids are paid entertainers, getting a quote up front. it's how recruiting works now.
  8. This kid's story makes no sense. This is the NIL era. Money is offered, agreements signed---there's no curtain to hide behind anymore. An assistant coach isn't the entity that will be paying this kid, so claiming he made the offer is dumb. Who is this kid's agent? Cam Newton's dad? NIL is an agreement between the player and the payer, i.e.: a company (as their spokesperson), an organization (boosters) or individuals). No agent would even listen to a "verbal agreement".
  9. poor Bass....the same thread started every week
  10. Too many opposing teams were easily able to write the "EJ manual".....
  11. settle down. I was kidding (not about the Daboll/Shoen combo).
  12. dunce trifecta
  13. Put Daniels on that Offense (no skill position players) and he may look like Caleb Williams...
  14. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9980188/: ":These data suggest no difference in head kinematics data (PLA, PAA and total impacts) when GCs are worn. This study suggests GCs are not effective in reducing the magnitude of head impacts experienced by NCAA Division I American football players." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5634228/:"The Guardian Cap failed to significantly improve the helmets' ability to mitigate impact forces at most locations. Limited evidence indicates how a reduction in GSI would provide clinically relevant benefits beyond reducing the risk of skull fracture or a similar catastrophic event." https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/football-helmet-add-ons.htmls. "Moreover, the effectiveness of these add-ons can vary significantly depending on the helmet model. The helmet model itself is crucial as it sets the baseline level of protection. While helmet shell add-ons can enhance a helmet's performance, it's important to note that a poor-performing helmet with an add-on may not perform as well as a high-performing helmet without an add-on. It's also important to note that the reductions in accelerations and star scores are specific to the impact conditions used in our tests. As not everyone experiences these same impacts, individual risk will vary from the averages presented here. It must be stressed that regardless of the helmet or add-on used, any player can still sustain a concussion. Our results represent average risks across the football player population for a given head impact exposure and should not be interpreted as absolute risk measurements for individual players." It's safe to say the data are not overwhelmingly in favor of these things. The clinical data is minimal---most likely because the number of witnessed concussions (the only way to document them) is, given the sheer number of participants at every level and the almost infinite number of collisions experienced by them in a lifetime, small. And with so few players at any level using them (particularly in the NFL, where they essentially are unused in games), there can be no meaningful conclusion drawn form such miniscule sample sizes.
  15. if these caps did all that, every school district in the country would mandate them for liability reasons alone. Yet they don’t. Nor do colleges. Forget the pros. If players/parents/programs/schools felt that theses caps might get them to zero concussions, of course they would mandate them. clearly they don’t believe in their purported effectiveness. CTE results from a an entire life experience of countless small cranial impact/deceleration events. Most pros who will display neuro deficits in the future—their fate was sealed before they were drafted.
  16. 3-0. Ravens free fall Vikes just wrote the book on shutting down Texans Offense Rodgers career will end v Bills
  17. there is really no way that any piece of equipment “eliminates concussions”. I don’t doubt that parent feel more comfortable that they are doing something. wear in college or even high school are these being widely used?
  18. it hasn’t really been shown, clinically, that wearing these things will actually lower incidence of concussion or post career disorders. Theres nothing stopping owners for adding any type of bonus to a contract. None of them do for wearing these things therefore they don’t believe they would protect their investment
  19. App’s working fine. .ca?
