The general rule seems to be that you're gonna pay two star skill players. It doesn't matter that he's a running back if he's producing in the offense.
Pay him and Kincaid. Structure it so you'll be able to get out and pay Coleman or another rookie down the line (if he turns out good, obviously). If you don't want to pay a RB simply because he's a RB then you gotta be confident you'll get a player just as good in the draft or accept the fact that you'll be overpaying in free agency.

2023 Xgames averaged 459,000 viewers.
not sure what tennis matches you are asking about. both events are cheaper to produce than a season of football.
both events are annual one offs, not months long seasons spread across the country that the networks are themselves sponsoring.
UFL, outside of St Louis, can't get any fans to show up to the games. Now that the networks are league owners, they will feel the heat directly. XFL alone lost 60 million just in 2023.
I'm trying to think of some minor sporting events that would be better to air on a Saturday this time of year.
I'm sure you'd love to say that airing reruns of reality TV would be better for the TV networks, but it'd help if you were able to back that up with some kind of profit numbers. What credibility do you have to be speaking for the networks who have chosen to air this programming for a third straight year.

Not surprised at all. The Bills generally win big and lose close.

I had a similar idiotic freakout.

I wonder how long ESPN/Disney hang in there with these ratings. This is less than "The Cleaning Lady" on Fox. These are "Naked and Afraid" rerun ratings.
How do ratings for tennis matches or the X-Games stack up?

The Bills have a good mix of physicality and finesse in the receiving room now. Kincaid is more physical than people give him credit for and building upon that facet of his game has been part of his pro development plan. He should absolutely be their #1 receiver moving forward.

I think it just means they liked Davis' value in that spot as a backup RB with upside.

Better get them now before the price goes up even more....

We get this type of thread every year. It's not an indicator of anything.
Caveat: I paid zero attention to any QB in the draft. Couldn't care less.
I like the Bears, though.

When I attempt to buy tickets I have so many options.
It's hard to relate to this.

It's easy to see the parallels in personnel with that Carolina team, the one big difference being the tight ends.
Shakir and Kincaid should thrive in that shallow cross concept. Coleman in Robbie's role and Samuel in Samuel's role. Add in MVS and Cook...you really have a nice corps of receiving weapons.
Icing on the cake if Claypool amounts to something.

Time to do away with college football. Carter is one of the lucky 1.6% percent of college football players who were drafted to the NFL. For the other 98.6% of college football players who will not go on to play in the NFL, having their tuition and degree paid for should be more than enough. I am fine with the stars of college football being able to use their name and likeness to make money, but to actually pay these guys a paycheck to play football, give me a break.
Stop the nonsense. Make a minor league system for football and stop giving away spots in classes for people who actually earn and need the degree long term.
Agree. And the minor league system now exists, arguably stronger than it's ever been, with the UFL. Expand that league and just pay the kids to be developed by pro coaches.

Did the Texans expect him there? If not, then I don't see this being an issue.
What if Diggs was expecting to be in Buffalo and not going to OTAs, so he made other plans? Then got traded to the Texans and let them know of his prior plans?

Marcus Easley was easily my most favorite off-season hero at WR.

Building him up. McDermott knows what he’s doing. I’m sure Claypool is working his butt off but McDermott is trying to get the best out of him by boosting up his confidence.
Yep. Throughout his tenure McDermott has been very selective of who he praises and when. We see it with rookies especially every year. Heading that, to me it indicates that McDermott feels Claypool needs to hear it in some regard. Hopefully it works out.

You cannot be serious with this take.
Marrone's choice of OC would have sunk that marriage. A rookie OC to pair with a rookie QB would have seriously hampered Allen's development and probably destroyed his career.
Who knows, unless you can point to a history of rookie OCs and rookie QBs together to show a trend. Who knows if they even stick with Hackett in this alternate reality.

Doug Marrone with Jim Schwartz at DC would've had a great team and broken the drought.

The NFL should hold a softball tournament to decide the next champion.

Found a solution to the roof, since nobody sits anyway just don't put seats in. Voila, that should save enough to at least get a bigass Coleman tent over the place when it rains! And its removable for nice days!
Wrong. The answer has been right under our noses all along....just stick to the troughs!!

Well let's see we have ...
Coleman
Shakir
Samuel
MVS
Hollins
Claypool
Kincaid
Knox
Cook.
If all of them got 500 yards that's 4500 yards.
I would expect the average of that group to be higher. Fans still try so hard to predict what can't be predicted. We will not have a " #1" wr in this offense. Many of us said what Beane just did, from week to week #1 may change, and I expect it to.
Believe it or not that is a really good thing, and fans need to grips with this concept fast because beane confirmed this is the approach this year.
Lastly, where were the majority of Allen's it's last year % wise? Davis and Diggs. That happens when you force the ball vs throwing it to whomever is open and not worrying about egos.
Kincaid is the closest thing to a number 1 with the way he gets used. They work him around inside and out and he's a potential mismatch anywhere. He should get a ton of targets.

The 2024 UFL Thread

AJ McCarron would still be a backup QB in the NFL if he had the right mindset for it. The fact is that he wants to play, so he's not good backup QB material. With that attitude, I bet he's not very supportive of the starting QB.
Not saying it's necessarily the wrong mindset. He should absolutely want to play and find a place to play, but it needs to be in a minor league.
