Generally top picks are a coin flip so it makes sense we’d see a split

Are you lonely at home? It feels like you might be lonely.

Say it 8 times. You may not be personally defending it but you shouldn’t be surprised when you post a possible explanation and you receive a response that doesn’t agree with the take. It’s not like i burst in insulting you but simply said if you have the rights to a guy there’s no reason to move on until it’s accomodating another move. Weve had this discussion a few times with other decisions Beane made (firing the scouts and then rehiring a few for instance).

I tend to agree. Which is why it felt to me like there was some sort of personal animosity between them and felt uncomfortable with the timeline (again could be nothing) Im all for justice but think that includes taking emotions down and following the fact patterns and giving even criminals a fair shake to defend themselves.

To be fair the standard at a grand jury is pretty low. Having a cop say he saw something in and of itself likely has a pretty good batting average in a grand jury itll be interesting to learn why this really took so long and what’s been going on. I’m sure we will learn a lot more soon. I’ll again say I don’t doubt Bennett was a schmuck but I’m curious to actually hear more about the incident and investigation. That it came back around after his other incident with police feels kind of uncomfortable but there could be an easy answer why

It happens all the time- not just 6 seeds either. We’ve seen division champs skate in with luck or circumstance Again, why I’m saying I don’t think simply getting in is that big of an accomplishment or the 7 that much of a failure. I’d obviously rather land 6 and have a shot than 7 and be home but don’t think I change my evaluation at all based on whether cincy completes that pass

For me - it’s the difference between a playoff team that’s a true championship contender vs the next tier of a half dozen teams that are separated by a funny bounce or rolled ankle. Whether you are the 6th seed or the 8th seed doesn’t drastically change my view of a team most years

Nah. Im going to have to find a new secret one. You know, in case this place closes. Don’t need to be at the first place you show up at telling me to leave ? seriously though, simmer down. You start a thread like that, youre likely to catch a joke or two

What was that address you posted where someone could start their own board?

Not knowing what happened and simply taking Broad strokes guesses based on the little we know.... I suspect that Bennett was a schmuck that night. I suspect that the police chief has some personal motives in this too. when both sides are a bit sketchy - simple incidents turn into big complicated ugly stories

Simmer down It was a joke because he posted his silly thread earlier this week about the topic of catching flack for starting too many threads.

Whats the perk of doing it today? If Murphy tears an ACL in the gym tomorrow- would you feel the same? until the minute a guy is signing that requires either the dollars or the roster spot you may as well carry him

If you are going to start a thread for every random idea that pops in your head, I appreciate that you consolidated all of today’s into a single post

I think the bills should give me a fair shot. I might not get the job done the first week, but just you wait.

The only rush seems to be a group that wants him to be better than he probably is... he’s a day three guy for a reason. Maybe he surprises but probably not.

Fish tacos seem to be one that A LOT of people are skeptical of until they try. truly I don’t get why. I’ll throw all kinds of stuff in a tortilla.

I agree there are not likely 4 franchise guys, but the example he used was that great class. He clearly wasn’t saying get a Tyrod type. Also agree that if one stands alone- let’s go get him (even if unlikely, try)

Im not sure how you can tell a guy what he means to say. Especially when he uses an example of several guys that are better than Tyrod. ignoring that - it’s a basic draft principal if targeting needs. You group guys into tiers and get the last guy in the tier that’s on the board before the cliff and next ledge. Taking the first guy in the tier - worst value. Taking the last - best value. as with any pick, you have to generally have your evaluations right for the premise to hold.

While you get there’s a bigger picture, you are neglecting that Darby is dirt cheap for multiple years which helps his value quite a bit.

I enjoy that you find roger goodwill consistent. Or think that roger is unaffected by video going public ::ahem::WeAllKnewRayRiceKnockedHerOutCold::Cough:: Or know what cyrus brought to the league office - could he have had a prescription for something that went wrong? im not arguing he will or should but if he got hit with a game I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.

You don’t need to be charged — it may end up on zay to prove why he shouldn’t see some punishment for being arrested naked, while vandalizing and disturbing the peace. Wont be serious but won’t be shocked by a game

I prefer to add a known quantity and to let reilly surprise than to count on reilly

He also only had 4 tds, and had 4 turnovers. He had had a pretty good Game vs the jags but was pretty meh otherwise. He had a couple games after that were better than any pre-hit. I think theres a fundamental flaw in the sampling being small pre hit that year and him simply being a mediocre qb that occasionally would have decent days.

I’d venture his drops are a much bigger issue than this going forward

Do you define it the same as me? What about as ed hochuli? Are refs using the porn vs art standard of “you know it when you see it”?
