Big Turk

I think what it shows is that teams tend to trend towards the mean over a long enough time period. Buffalo over the 6 year period still has much higher DraftAV than either CIN or KC as a whole.

Teams that want to actually use their cap wisely don't pay 2 WR's. It's not happening. They draft a guy to be that player, then they move on from him if he isn't going to be a #1 when it comes time for a second contract.

So basically they had 3 great drafts followed by 3 "Meh" drafts, while CIN and KC had a top draft in successive seasons in 2020 and 2021, which tells a pretty good story. Also both had rookie draft classes that performed better than ours this year.

Josh Downs? Zay Flowers?

Yeah, they have them pretty often there...nobody injured that I know of, it was more central southern Turkey, most of my family still there lives near Istanbul. Nope...Big Turk is because I am Turkish(my Dad is from Istanbul) and I have been a gym rat for a while so I have some pretty decent size...it was actually a nickname given to me by a friend that stuck so now a lot of my friends call me that...

Turkey just had a 7.8 magnitude one this morning and it collapsed buildings and killed at least 1300 people from the reports... They have a lot of major ones there...remember my Mom telling me when she was there they had one and she thought she was going to die because the entire room shifted to one side of the house. My Dad grew up in Istanbul and told me some crazy stories too...

Buffalo lies very close to the Clarendon-Linden Fault Line and we actually have quite a few earthquakes here, just normally under a 3.0 magnitude so they aren't really felt. The last one I remember before this was maybe 35 years ago when I was growing up and it lasted for about a minute or so and shook the chandelier in the dining room.

Jones is a QB that can get you to the playoffs some years but will never get you much further than that. Basically you are hamstringing yourself at the QB position and preventing yourself from potentially getting better at it. Jones has a ceiling similar to Andy Dalton in Cincinnati, aka not high enough if you are hoping to compete for championships.

Burrow actually kinda sucks in the playoffs. His stats impress no one.

Uh no. Who gives a crap what fans think?

Handing the ball off to a RB versus Allen keeping it is always a win for the defense. Trust me, they would love nothing more than for us to keep handing it off.

So what? So do lots of backs. Show me one team that really plays to stop the run on a consistent basis and I will show you a team that probably has 4 or 5 wins.

He isn't. Except in your mind. McD living rent free there.

It won't matter.

Jags D looked pretty good against us in their most recent meeting...

From Spotrac, his market value is estimated to be right around what I said...$25-30 million. But let's be real...that's still a lot of money, so I guess it depends on your definition of "very rich". However, compared to other QB's, he is average. He's made $26.2 million so far in his career, so this would basically give him a 1 year salary of what he made for the past 4 years, which by any accounts is very good if you can get a 4 for 1, and also likely give him a huge payday this year when factoring in the signing bonus which he gets up front.

Part of the reason why many head coaches fail is because they have to deal with so much off the field stuff and do it well also. Many OC's and DC's have no idea they have that type of responsibility about to be heaped on top of them in addition to some football stuff and they struggle mightily with the transition. HC's basically manage the team not only from a football aspect but from the "business" aspect as well. If you don't have the ability to be a good manager and can only do football X's and O's stuff you are likely not going to do very well as a head coach because you will be in way over your head and will try to do everything yourself instead of delegating to others. Then you need to be good at understanding what is able to be delegated to others and still done effectively and what you have to retain for yourself because delegating that would not be effective or get done as well as if you did it yourself. Basically you need to be very good at football and very good at managing people and very good at running a business to succeed at being a HC, which is why so many assistants do not do well. They have the football side, but lack at least one of the other two sides. In reality, there are not a lot of people who can excel in all three areas compared to the number of assistants out there.

Yeah that was crazy...I believe he was the last 1st overall pick under the old system too wasn't he? Nowadays the easiest route to making bank as a QB while not being able to play is to look good in the preseason over multiple years so someone THINKS you might be good, then signs you as a high priced backup but you don't actually play...then rinse and repeat. Chase Daniel has used this method to make over $41 million in his career all while throwing a total of 273 passes over 14 years and starting a total of 5 games. Most passes he threw in a season were with the Bears when he had 78 over 2 games started and 5 played total.

Ryan Leaf DID make guaranteed bank tho...for as little as he did, he made $13 million in career earnings. Pales compared to Jamarcus Russell who made over $39 million tho.

Didn't realize there were so many backs that averaged almost 5 YPC for their career and were exceptional in pass pro.

Tua is never going to stay healthy, he is fragile. He gets injured for multiple games every year and he likely always will.

Nobody but someone is paying him north of $15 million a year most likely

It's what helps drive parity and larger contracts every year in Free Agency(since huge QB contracts force you to not be able to keep good players at other positions), so it is exactly the way the NFL and NFLPA want it to work.
