  1. it’s just a football stadium. Whether it be this design or a fancy all-glass cube like Minnesota’s it ain’t making that big a difference to the city.
  2. whatever they lay out themselves, 40% or whatever is passed along to fans in the form of PSLs. So real money they make it all back. cutting edge wind confusion technology. That s*** ain’t cheap.
  3. Facade looks pretty cool. Why are some people still hoping for a dome? Did I miss something? I thought they made it abundantly clear innumerable times there will be no dome.
  4. running the ball at that volume gets you nowhere though. And it ain’t 4 years ago he has worn a lot of tread off those tires.
  5. I don’t know, just on a surface level ATL appears to be run-oriented, with a (potentially) star TE, same as he had in Baltimore. Of course they would have to go even further and tailor their offensive scheme towards Jackson. But it may work?
  6. ocho is a weird cat, but always liked him. Was he bringing women back to the stadium at night?
  7. no argument here. Beane certainly needs to draft better than recent seasons.
  8. we bought Von and that was working until he got hurt.
  9. well that’s disconcerting.
  10. you can certainly decrease his load from what Tennessee asked of him, given that he’s getting older and you have Josh Allen. Of course that then makes it harder to justify his $$$.
  11. And who replaces Oliver?
  12. you and whoever else can characterize Watson’s deal as an outlier or aberration, fact is players and their agents will call it a precedent and use it as such. Owners and GMs know this and is why they are so pissed. Wait and see what Jackson, Burrow and similarly situated QBs end up getting in the near future and we’ll find out if Watson’s deal was really a one-off.
  13. “We” are? Thanks for framing that for all of us. i’ll try to stay within your lines. My reply was just concerning availability. Doesn’t really matter why. A statement was made that Jackson shouldn’t expect to get anything close to Watson due to missing some time injured. Well Watson missed a whole heap of time. Cleveland still shelled out. As far as talent goes, Watson looked like trash last year in his abbreviated season.
  14. That’s true and for good reason. But Jackson doesn’t need Baltimore to be the one to shell out for a Watson-adjacent deal, and frankly he probably doesn’t want them to given the way negotiations have gone to this point. But it only takes one other team to be willing to do so (franchise tag complications set aside) and in a QB starved league (especially in the NFC) he knows there’s an owner or two out there desperate and dimwitted like the Haslems who will pony up.
  15. So he wanted to play but not for the team for which he was contracted to play. He also made clear he would utilize his no trade clause to torpedo any deal he didn’t like (and to ensure he got the deal he liked from his new destination.) You can find a different verb other than “pout” I suppose to describe his actions, but it certainly seems appropriate to me. People in here are dumping on Jackson for allegedly refusing to play for his team through a documented injury late in the season, while a healthy Watson did something worse (among other, far worse, things.)
  16. Unfortunately for them one of their own owners already set that precedent.
  17. nothing in your biased tangent has anything to do with my single comment about availability. Watson pouted for an entire season and was then hit with a lengthy suspension. I never said anything about either QBs’ respective abilities. But I’m the fool?
  18. Availability (or rather, a lack thereof) didn’t seem to hurt Watson with his contract.
  19. Will never happen. But it’s fun to play make believe!
  20. Clearly worth the contract Cleveland gave him then
  21. this is one of those pure speculation blurbs Florio and his gang post, especially in the offseason. There’s no substance behind it, beyond “well, Diggs did it once before in Minnesota.”
  22. If you believe Araiza’s agent, it’s the opposite actually - he did not sign with the Mexican league because they are hopeful he will get an NFL tryout. Whether that’s based on actual expressed interest from NFL team(s) or just wishful thinking I guess we’ll see.
  23. Appears he’s not signing there after all.
