Coach Tuesday

This is nonsense.

This is nonsense.

Especially if said QB is slight and injury-prone...

Breer is very well-connected, his mocks are pretty good: https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/04/17/nfl-mock-draft-josh-allen-browns-saquon-barkley-giants-sam-darnold-jets Personally I don't see the Bills passing on Rashaan Evans at 22 in order to take a C/G, especially since this draft is deep wrt interior linemen.

Thank you for posting this. This is what I hate about prospect evaluations - folks dramatically oversimplify it, as if a prospect is inherently either "good" or "bad" and it's just a matter of figuring out which one it is, like some kind of chemical screen test - give the prospect a drink of X and if they turn purple, they're "bad." Life doesn't work that way. There are so many factors that go into whether any prospect, and a QB in particular, will turn out to be a good pro. The quality of the structure and strategy of the organization that drafts them, for example. Their own work ethic. The skillset of the players around them. Luck, injuries, etc. What I take from the OP is that there are good reasons to think that Allen will buck the trend of sub-60% college QBs, in other words, he's not as high of a risk as some have made him out to be. Fine, point well taken. But to go any farther than that and state with near-certainty that Allen is going to be "good" is simply a waste of time - it's unknowable with Allen, or any other prospect.

This is nonsense.

Baby Boomers

I know who I'd like to send there first...

What I took away from his article above everything else is that the Dolphins are serious about trading up for a QB and must have talked to several teams in the top seven about it.

Oh I’m well aware what you aren’t. You’re the one who slouched out of that bet, it was clear to the whole forum.

How the hell do I know where he is and why? Maybe he’s staying away because he’s a kitty.

What does that even mean? Where is he, outer space?

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/michael-cohen-and-the-end-stage-of-the-trump-presidency “However, I am unaware of anybody who has taken a serious look at Trump’s business who doesn’t believe that there is a high likelihood of rampant criminality. In Azerbaijan, he did business with a likely money launderer for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. In the Republic of Georgia, he partnered with a group that was being investigated for a possible role in the largest known bank-fraud and money-laundering case in history. In Indonesia, his development partner is “knee-deep in dirty politics”; there are criminal investigations of his deals in Brazil; the F.B.I. is reportedly lookinginto his daughter Ivanka’s role in the Trump hotel in Vancouver, for which she worked with a Malaysian family that has admitted to financial fraud. Back home, Donald, Jr., and Ivanka were investigated for financial crimes associated with the Trump hotel in SoHo—an investigation that was halted suspiciously. His Taj Mahal casino received what was then the largest fine in history for money-laundering violations.”

Amazing, this thread being started by Greg, who kittied out of his Shady bet in epic fashion - that was one of the most glaring acts of cowardice we’ve seen around here.

This regime won’t survive not taking a shot. Period.

Some likable folks around here.

The part about this that is most believable to me is that Russ is involved. I can see him giddy about the notion of getting the #1 pick and all of the brand attention that would go with it...

They'd better hope Darnold is the next Philip Rivers if they're doing something like this...

Cincinnati will take him - Mike Brown specializes in "character arbitrage."

This suggests to me that the analytics folks in Cleveland, including Wolf and DePodesta, are not being listened to.

Fascinating stuff. Wouldn't surprise me at all that DePodesta loves Mayfield - DP is an analytics maven. Also wouldn't surprise me that Hue doesn't love Mayfield - Hue strikes me as arrogant and semi-stupid, and probably would feel threatened by a loud, intelligent voice like Baker's. Hue also runs his passing offense off a script - not Mayfield's game. All of that said - if the Browns take Chubb at 1, after taking Garrett at 1 last year, they're complete, utter morons. They're not going to be able to pay both of those guys in 4 years and they'll be counting on the third-best QB falling to them at 4.

You know you're the lowest form of humanity, right? Literally you contribute nothing to society.

And it still doesn't explain the SDNY magistrate's signoff... I tend to think they are better informed, in this case, especially given how chatty this White House staff is. That place is leakier than a [insert dirty joke].
