Josh Allen - week THREE report card
Kirby Jackson replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I really can’t wrap my head around how they deemed that the defense DEFINITELY intercepted that. Dual possession goes to the offense. They ruled that the DB definitely had that. 🤯 -
I agree on Dallas but that division may not have another team win 7 games. That division is going to be something like 24-39-1. That’s awful.
-
This division is arguably the worst that I can remember. The NFC West was atrocious the year that Marshawn ran through the Saints. I thought that was the worst in my lifetime but the NFC East is giving them a run for their money this year.

Unpopular take here...Tre is playing very meh
Kirby Jackson replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think that it has become a more conservative style. They’ve always been “bend but don’t break.” With an offense that scores 35 a week the defense has evolved into a unit trying not to give up 75 yard plays and make teams drive 16 plays. It hasn’t been pretty but playing with the lead is different I guess. -
Josh Allen - week THREE report card
Kirby Jackson replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’m not counting it. It is the same way that I handled the 1st game Tyrod played where they lined him up as a WR on the first play and then went in at QB. That was a win for him in my book and this asinine INT will be viewed the same way. -

Josh Allen is good at football. 3 games in and he has 12 TDs and zero INTs!! That’s special -
The Jalen Ramsey Foot In Mouth Thread
Kirby Jackson replied to KingBoots8's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I so desperately want Josh to throw a TD on Ramsey and then go sign a garbage can. I also like the idea of him signing Ramsey’s jersey right after 😂😂. Epic TD celebrations -
I’m on record as having an issue with Kaep’s rating. I had no problem with him being in the game but had a problem with him being rated above half of the starting QBs in the game. This was kind of why. Allen is an MVP candidate through 2 weeks and is 2 points lower than a guy that hasn’t played in 4 years or played well in like 6. He should have been rated in the middle of the backups not the middle of the starters.

I was WRONG about Josh Allen
Kirby Jackson replied to Zerovoltz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Superstar: Lamar On the verge of stardom: Allen Jury is out: Darnold Baker Rosen (such a terrible situation I’m not ready to give up) Bad player: Rudolph Falk Irrelevant: Every other QB drafted -
I had the chance to spend quite a bit of time with Marv Levy when he was the GM. Me: Who is the best player ever? Marv (immediately): Gayle Sayers Me: Do you want to think about that for a second? Marv: No, it’s Gayle Sayers That’s good enough for me

I was WRONG about Josh Allen
Kirby Jackson replied to Zerovoltz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was on board with him as I thought he was a dynamic athlete. He’s already been an MVP and is off to a great start again. He would have been a fine selection. I hated Rudolph as a prospect and liked Baker and Rosen first though. -

This was me too. I was wrong. Josh was the guy (outside of Lamar). -
This situation is different than typical medial malpractice because the patient didn’t pick the doctor. The settlement will get big if Tyrod’s team can prove that his future earnings are negatively impacted because he ends up not playing. I would imagine that the Chargers guarantee all of his potential bonuses this year. If Herbert doesn’t look back (which looks to be the case) Taylor’s people could argue that his future was negatively impacted because of it. Again, it is all with a settlement in mind.
-
This situation is different though. He can easily argue that the Chargers pressured him into signing it. When I go to the doctor I have a choice of the doctor and what I want done. He was directed to the team doctor and certainly had a “choice” but the doctor is paid by the team. These elements are all in play in addition to the general malpractice. There’s no chance that this just gets filed under “we all make mistakes.” It will end up as a substantial settlement and a new team doctor.
-
Any lawyer worth his salt will make that argument and it is pretty easy. Common sense says Herbert was drafted to replace him but the NFLPA will argue that’s this is what caused him to be replaced. That’s just the way that these claims work. His attorneys will say that the malpractice caused him to lose his job. With him not having a chance to play it has damaged his potential for a next contract. It will end up with a big settlement. I see this kind of stuff every single day and with less of a case. The biggest difference is the doctor is employed by his employer. The case can be made that this wasn’t a decision made by Tyrod but by his employer. Waivers are worth the paper that they are written on. This will be a big settlement no doubt.
-
It’s not naive at all. I work in insurance and watch work comp and malpractice all day long. Any lawyer worth $.10 will be able to talk through this. He was supposed to be starting a game for a NFL almost immediately after this. This isn’t one of those “are you sure you want to go through with this” situations. Was the doctor working on behalf of the player or the team? If they can link this to him losing his job and his future earnings because of that they are screwed. This one is pretty simple from that standpoint. It’s just a matter of where the number ends up.
