Now this isn't something I've seen discussed too much- do you think lockers baseball career has effected his qb play negatively? The mechanics and footwork, especially in the pocket are almost baseball-Esque.... Will getting away from baseball help him?
-
This thing that I like and find interesting about this guy's "big board" is that he's completely off the map with regards to all the other draft experts' seemingly consensus opinions. Example Danny Watkins is listed as #14 and Marcell Dareus is listed at #15...

I think this is what the real NFL teams draft boards look like. There are some guys that the experts have high that the teams don't, and vise versa.
I would still say that I'd go with his tiers as categories, not rankings.
That's to say I think a qb that sits a year and a guard that has to sit a year are radically different and are grouped together here. Doing an intersection of NFL ready vs. Potential impact vs risk is valid, but not a true big board ranking.
-
I'd refer you to the stat lines of colt McCoy, colt Brennan, chase Daniel, Sam Bradford Alex smith etc.... 70% is a number you'll notice a lot.

This is what I thought too.
I've found that when I had the responsibility to supervise training, that having to explain different concepts to others helped me understand the concepts more fully myself.
Absolutely. It reflects well on Drayton…that he's at least thinking about his post-playing career.
I really don't understand why we let his contract expire without tendering him. He's been our most dependable corner for the past two seasons and usually when decent cornerbacks hit the open market, they seldom re-sign. Another needless hole to fill, it seems.
Because he has too many years of service to tender?
-
Wow that is sad! Why is that we rotate from bad defense to good offense and vice versa? We need to get a good O and a good D at the same time. This why I wish Cower got hired because we would still have Chan running the O and cower would have brought in a competent D coordinator.
And unfortunately, the offense was putrid that day. I'll take a defense that allows 10 in regulation and 13 through 75 minutes any day of the week.
If your defense can hold them to 3 scoring drives - only one of which being a touchdown you should win.
Ps. The td drive had a nice 30+ yard pass in it, and the actual td cam through the air. The game winning drive had one 8yd run at the end with the ball inside the 25 already, otherwise all passes.
-
well, since the lockout is on he can't be punished by the nfl for the incident. however, the courts will probably put him away for a small amount of time for this one.
That and he was already in the process for reinstatement which I'm venturing won't go as well as hoped. You know - cause he was arrested, convicted and suspended for this last season and all
-
hmmmmm.... cant say its a good idea to tell the officer no when he asks you to turn your music down.
likewise, refusing to give your ID to him was probably a poorly planned choice.
Even if (perhaps especially if) the officer is being a jerk, i think common sense dictates that ol JP was not thinking those decisions through to there inevitable end.
-
While the Bills lack of talent defensively (and offensively) is certainly a moot point:
If you always do
what you always did
you always get
what you always got.
So if you are George Edwards, and your run defense is getting torched, and you continue to do the same damn thing, WTF are you there for?
one may argue that george edwards defense that day, while allowing a ton of rushing yards, was pretty successful in allowing 10 points in regulation.
id venture fitz having about 4 yards an attempt and 50% completions probably was the real culprit.
-
Aaaaand I immediately regret the sidetrack...... Was just noting the difference in culture/response and quick action.
There were a lot of people that came back to new orleans, strapped the boots on and got to work.
-
Well--- again, out at 1am driving without a license and with codeine and other substances.
What a fool....

Thanks! Understandable. During Katrina... Was there an option to get dirt cheap rent somewhere? And "rent to own?" They were putting people up in hotels right? The thing is, like the disaster in 1906... That temp housing was better (for the poor ones) than what they were accustomed to before the disaster! I don't know why they (Katrina people) have to take a step back and why some begrudge them? We really do handle things differently now and I not so sure it is soley the people's fault! This from 1907:
"...At the time, the shacks are hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as a social step in the right direction. Says the AP, in 1907, the Chronical reported, "People of the narrow streets of the tenements, who all their lives have lived in stifling, dark rooms amid noisome surroundings, have been given a chance to own their own homes, garden spots and free air..."
Why not move them out of the FEMA trailers and into something better... Maybe some did? That is why they didn't want to leave! Is that the case? Were they paying "rent to own", like in 1906-1907?
Honest answer- I think they liked "free" over paid housing.
-
I am sure to get Chef's ire up... With Katrina, why didn't they do what they did in 1906 after the SF Quake:
"...After the earthquake, about 16,488 San Franciscans moved into 5,600 government-provided housing built in refugee camps across city parks. According to historians with The Western Neighborhoods Project, the "shacks" were built by Union carpenters for a cost of approximately $100 to $741 each, depending on size, painted green to blend in the park surroundings and rented to families at a cost of $2 to $6 per month. Once the city was rebuilt, city leaders wanted the structures removed and offered to sell the shacks to homebuyers at about $100 each, if the homeowner arranged to cart the tiny no-kitchen, no-bath shacks away. Buyers sometimes cobbled two or more shacks together to relocate them to parts of the city that weren't destroyed by the earthquake and fires..."
See, that is the thing with people and why they are screwy... They get attached to things... Human nature... Everybody to a certain extent has that fault. They are trailers... Why didn't they just sell them to the people. Like I said above, the small rent people paid in 1906 went towards the purchase price. I am not sure if FEMA was charging a small rent... But if they did, they could have applied to a purchase and people could have been on their merry way anywhere with the trailer... Heck, wander around and hit the local KoA's...
;) I jest.What I am trying to say is that YES people are screwy... But the rules in play today make things so restrictive to get things done in a creative way.
People don't want to move out... Buy the effing thing at a steal and move it down the road to some trailer park.
I blame both sides.
I see what your saying for sure but if you want the most practical answer for new orleans: they were deemed unsafe do to chemicals used in production/released over time(?) - I'm not entirely sure but remember there were rumors of lawsuits from people getting sick in them. They were designed as cheap, quick, short term emergency shelter - not homes. These were like 6x10 rooms with a bed on the end, not intended to hold people more than days/weeks. Maybe a couple months while homes were rebuilt. Housing wasnt short if they wanted to rent a livable space, quite frankly.
Whole thing was a mess. I'm hoping our new mayor will help things point towards some end game, as ray nagin was a bumbling fool with no plan. A situation like that needs leadership and that was lost at the intersection of government policy and individuals in place.
Honestly in a city like this I don't know that your plan would work, but I definitely agree with the ideas in a general sense.
-
nor do you get compensation for a player that has no business being in the NFL
That's roughly true - if they aren't signed by camp, they aren't a qualified loss.
-
At the start of this year?
New years eve was the deadline to move out or face fines. It wasn't a ton of people - but more than a few.
-
I don't even see the point in drafting a late round project QB again.
After 34, don't touch a qb. The success rate even for picks in the 3rd is nearly zerothis decade. If you take 4th and on it's Tom brady and????? out of how many?
-
There are many compensatory picks allotted each draft, based on how many unrestricted free agents a team lost versus signed. There's a small group that determines the values of the loss (based on several factors, e.g. size of UFA contract, playing time during the year, etc.) and sets the comp picks accordingly.
You get that Lynch was traded to the Seahags, right? No compensatory picks for trades, as there's already been compensation.
There were 21 total awarded for losses I believe, and then 11 given in draft order- kind of like an abbreviated 8th round to finish out the 32.
It's only for expiring contracts.
To be eligible for anything over a 7, you need to lose more than you sign.
If you did lose more- you match up those signings and losses as best you can to find your unmatched loss. That guy is then evaluated. Based on historical data it's like 95% contract size with playtime/awards seemingly only being uses if someone is dead on the fence
-
ugh - i live in new orleans and the government had to kick people out of fema trailers at the start of the year. contrast and compare.....
honestly, the stark difference in how the local population has handled these two disasters has been especially challenging for me - as someone that has dealt with coming back from a disaster. everything from the lack of looting, the speedy government response, the lack of pointing fingers....
-
Just me or is the grooms arm about 8 feet long? It seems like the dimensions got weird... Shopped or just an illusion?
I'm guessing bionic inspector gadget arm.
-
Gee thanks. Maybe I'm just a homer, but Buffalo always seems to get shafted on these compensatory picks.
The NFL is remarkably consistent with the process, fans just don't get it.
A 7 means we netted equal guys in and out. Unless you lost more bodies, you can not get a 3-6.
Pats let vets walk and draft replacements- that means more and high picks.
-
The first question would be, does your target audience spend much time on FB?
You might also try Groupon or Living Social.
Well, for me- it's an assignment not a chosen investment so regardless I'm doing it. Just a matter of how to best target those that do.
The person that was handling it previous was just putting up a random post once a week. But with no sense of contest, promotion etc... I threw up a couple quick posts to illustrate to them a proper way to link up with established followings to reach broader audience. Before it was just "who's ready for Mardi Gras" going out to an insulated group of followers- most of whom are company related. I'm hoping to show solid growth in the fan base, and page views short term. maybe some comp nights raffled to fans if I hit thresholds...
The challenge I'm foreseeing is unlike a bar, restaurant etc... It's selling both a destination city and your property within, and outside a few diehard corporate people, it's not a business that gets weekly or very frequent returns.
We will see- I have a few ideas for pushing discounts off season, some comp nights, added value stuff like drinks at the bar etc.... Maybe even holding back some rooms over high demand and just offering availability, without a discount when most hotels are sold out... I dunno. Just trying to get a wealth of ideas to avoid being stale or overly cliche.

Porn.
so your saying drive the local angle with photos of bourbon street and mardi gras?
this internet thingy sure is easy.
