Doc Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Miller and OBD are FAs at the end of the year. And Stafford is only making $22.5M. And they are currently $8M over the cap. Quote

Lmao JC Jackson dropped one to give us the division. Feel free to let the Pats know we should have played them at Foxborough WC weekend. Quote

Steelers' "proven track record" led to exactly zero SB appearances in the last decade. 9-7 ain't sexy. That is the model. Draft a franchise QB, and draft/develop young talent around them for the long haul, and be in the hunt for a SB every year. The Steelers had 3 SB appearances, 2 SB wins, and haven’t had a losing season in 19 years. The NFL has really become a matchup league. I think you are better off trying to have a sustained successful model to make the playoffs every year, and then try to get a path of favorable matchups to win the SB. The Rams model is just risky, and it is no guarantee that it will work. They should have lost last week, when their heavily Leveraged defense choked. And, as constructed, there is no chance they could beat the Bills or Chiefs. They are lucky they won’t have to play them. Quote

They had some good draft picks andthen started trading first round picks for established talent (much like the Bills did for Diggs); however, they still maintained most of their draft picks. They didn't truly start handicapping themselves in future drafts until the last year or so, and the upcoming draft, in which they only have two 7th round picks, will be the first draft in which they will really be affected in a big way. I have no idea how the strategy will play out long term. We will see. They haven't drafted a player in the first round since 2016. Quote

If we go to two Super Bowls and then don't win one for the last 13 years of Josh Allen's career, that's a failure. Quote

Seems like you have a lot of other teams that have a proven track record of success of drafting and developing your own talent (eg, patriots, Steelers). Ravens...

Jeffbigalls Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 The real win today was the person that turned $20 into 570k + hitting an exacta parlay on the correct score of both games Quote

They traded away their first round picks for talent; however, they still retained most of their draft picks every year. That’s not mortgaging the future. That didn’t start until the last year or so and this upcoming draft will be the first that will have been truly impacted. So, like I said, we’ll see how things go from here. Quote
