  1. Of the last 14 super bowls, 8 of the RBs were on rookie contracts. 6 were either on their 2nd team with a prove or deal, or older aged players with what could have been they’re final contract. Like Blount who bounced around everywhere on low budget contracts, never earning over 2m a season but also only eclipsing 1,000 yards twice in his career. Pacheco 7th rd, rookie contract Akers 2nd rd, rookie contract Fournette 1st rd, 4th overall pick, one year prove it deal with Bucs Williams undrafted, prove it contract with chiefs Michel 1st rd, 31st overall, rookie contract Blount Eagles- undrafted, bounced around always on prove it deals Blount Pats- see above Anderson undrafted, rookie contract Blount Pats- see above Harvin 1st rd, 22nd overall, prove it contract Rice 2nd rd, rookie contract Bradshaw 7th rd, rookie contract Starks 6th rd, rookie contract Thomas undrafted, rookie contract 3 were first rd picks, 2 were second rd picks, 4 players but 7 spots by undrafted players (Blount). Then throw in Lynch in Theory was the 2013 Seahawks RB but because Denver’s defense was so insane, they shut him down to 39 yards rushing that game. High draft picks account for almost half of that list, prove it contracts account for the majority. But in the end, the high draft picks are clearly better than the Blounts of the world (minus his 1 insane season). The big name, early draft picks are still remembered as the prove it undrafted guys are generally forgotten and even out of football before their time. Point is, if you get a shot at a rookie RB that can make a difference in a rookie contract, you take it. And I would generally argue that taking one in the first round is not just worth it, but recommended because you get the 5th year option for that player at a relatively decent price before they begin their 2nd contract. With all that being said, I really don’t see what’s special about Bijan Robinson at all and don’t understand the love fest for him. I don’t generally watch college ball, but come this time of the year I watch a lot of highlight films leading up to the draft. He’s not particularly fast, or that agile, or powerful. The only thing I can say about him is that he makes it look effortless. But I have no idea if that’s because he’s that good, or because his line created holes for him to look that way. roast away
  2. https://www.newsweek.com/damar-hamlin-body-double-conspiracy-theory-misleading-claims-1775851?amp=1 id add this to it. Pretty odd considering if they performed CPR on him, they likely broke some ribs. Not sure how it was possible for him to be flailing his arms up and down to get the crowd pumped up with broken ribs.
  3. I did say upgrade. And time will tel how much
  4. Screw that. I don’t make excuses for my dog. She’s the best.
  5. Yeah. But without him we have a slight upgrade at DL and still about even to what we were when we missed Tre at the backfield.
  6. So my neighbor had like 4 Burmese mountain dogs. When I moved in I caught them in my yard a lot. They said the old owner never minded. Well, I mind MFer. I have a 10lb shipoo and your dogs take bigger craps than my dog. One day they heard me complaining (by design) that I would gather all their dog ***** and plop it right on the hood of their cars on a hot sunny day. they put in a fence a few months later.
  7. Well, if he’s trespassing you could always shoot him
  8. Great. Just what we need. Hyde learning bad habits from Crowder
  9. Somehow I feel like this is going to be never ending
  10. Is that really a quote from one of his songs? If so I really don’t understand why I didn’t dislike him more. Absolutely one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. Could be. If he can’t get a deal for multiple years. Maybe he’s looking for a ring and will shove off after that. Giants don’t seem to be realistic anymore and the Cowboys don’t seem to be that interested. Plus Dak sucks
  11. I’m All for it. I definitely hope, AND think he may have a return to form. He and the rest of the team should be pumped for this one for sure.
  12. Ugh. He was about as terrible as you could get. You just liked him for the name
  13. Shaq should for sure get a lions share opposite Groot. With some AJ and Boogoe sprinkled in. Hopefully being fresh and looking to prove something they play with their hair on fire. they should also be offered contracts that get them to retire as Bills.
  14. Meh. I didn’t follow it all that much either really. Just enjoy the camaraderie among all Bills have.
  15. I’d also point out that us commenting on a 100+ page thread has absolutely nothing to do with ODBs decision on what team he will join if any this season. I say, let it ride. Let’s get this thing to 200+
  16. A narcissistic a-hole? with that said he’d still be an upgrade as a #2 or very least a #3 WR. If he is healthy enough and can play and wants to be here, and the FO wants him, for the right price they should.
  17. Maybe he will put it in his contract to replace it
  18. Oh. So double it. $60k properties. Makes sense. Totally not worth it to buy them out then.
