Hmmm... if this happened (HUGE if), and if I were this girl's father, I'd want to stick it as hard as humanly possible to this guy. Thus I'd have advised waiting. If it didn't happen, then obviously just a money grab. Lot of "ifs" It's literally the top item on the Headlines of ESPN.COM

So I have zero idea of the facts of this case. But let's pretend for a minute that you were sexually assaulted by a guy and the criminal justice system let you down. Isn't this EXACTLY how you would go about getting justice? Maybe not, but for a lot of people this is actually a pretty logical step. You can't get the criminal system to help, use the civil system. Again, I have zero clue if anything happened, just pointing out that there could actually be logic to this approach. As an aside, he better be good, otherwise why bother drafting someone with any baggage like this?

Thank you!!!

Super helpful response, thank you!

As a father of teenage boys who love the NFL, gambling is one of the number one things I worry about. It's WAY too easy now. I've tried to educate them on the risks. I've also tried to make sure that sure, root for your team and get invested. But ALWAYS remember, this is a game being played by millionaires for billionaires, and the number one goal this league has is to make money.

It definitely sucks what these guys go through, especially the TBI stuff. But, they know the risks and get paid obscene amounts of money. It's a choice.

Agreed. And our luck needs to continue. Specifically, our O-Line has been REMARKABLY healthy, gotta have that for another year IMO. Also, the luck on turnovers would be great to have a gain, but not sure how repeatable that is.

How do you count passes behind the line of scrimmage? This is a dink and dunk, run first offense with Josh making off-script hero plays. Not a high-octane passing offense by any stretch of the imagination.

Don't disagree, but "if" the offense is going to be run centric? It 100% has been under Joe Brady. Look at that "top 2 QB's" passing numbers last year: Passing Yards - 14th Comp % - 24th Attempts - 14th Yrd/Completion - 9th Passing TDs - T7th Joe Brady is a "run first" guy. Or at least he has been to this point.

Additionally, let's not pretend Josh had a prolific passing season last year. He was 14th in the NFL in passing yards and 7th in TDs.

True, still plenty of room in the super bowl trophy cabinet...

Yeah the AFCE is an absolute joke and is definitely a huge advantage that we have.

Josh Allen 2024 Salary Cap Hit - 30 million Jalen Hurts 2024 Salary Cap Hit - 13 million That's a lot of extra benjamins the Eagles had to spend on defense.

Agreed, I don't know how you can go into the season banking on leading the league in turnover differential again. I think that's what many fans aren't appreciating enough, just how much the offense benefited from the turnovers.
