My bad I may have heard incorrectly that the regular franchise was in the $40’s. Seemed like the top 5 salary average should be considering what Rodgers, Watson, Wilson, and Mahomes are getting paid. Regardless, the point was that Leveon Bell never made up the money he lost by sitting a year, and the rust hurt him more than “saving tread on the tires”.

We only get 8 episodes every 2 years. Wasting any of them on filler or poorly acted celebrity guest roles is rage worthy.

It’s starting to feel like they planned all along for “The Mandalorian” to refer to Bo Katan, until we get to a final season and realize it referred to Grogu all along. Beskar was in the prisoner ship, so Moff Gideon probably has some sect of loyalists from the time he held the dark saber. Hell, someone (Thrawn or that “rehabilitated” boy haircut lady) might have paid the Nite Owls to liberate him. It could’ve been Gideon or Thrawn that ordered the tie fighter attack on Bo Katan’s family vacation home, but I don’t get the motive at this point. Both of those dudes are hyper-strategic.

Didn’t DKR also say “if he’ll bite you as a dog, he’ll bite you as a pup”?

Le’veon made $4m his first 4 years, $12 million in 2017; then rejected both a two year offer for $30m and the franchise tag (one year at $16m). He ended up collecting only $28m from 2019-2021 from the Jets, Chiefs, Ravens, and Bucs. Playing 2018 for $16m probably wouldn’t have decreased the $28m he earned later. Truly dumb decision.

When Leveon Bell refused to sign the Pittsburgh franchise tag and sat out a year, the question was not resolved that if the Steelers kept the tag on him again and Bell signed, would he get paid based on a Year 1 of tag (since he never signed or played under the first tag) or would it jump to the much higher $$$ Year 2 tag value. If Lamar sits this year, he rejects the ~$45M. If the Ravens tag him again in 2024, if it is ruled as the first tag he played under, he’ll get the average of the top 5 QBs (probably in the $45-50m range). If it is ruled to be his second year, he gets a 20% bump so ~$60M. Ravens would probably pay it either way but it’s a $15m issue for Lamar and for the Ravens’ cap space. Completely fucks up their plans to compete in 2023 so this is stupid. The Ravens would cut to the chase and offer him thr $105 for two years today. They already offered him $133m fully guaranteed for 3, in addition to the longer deal that came out to like $175m guaranteed. Lamar’s mom is an idiot.

From who are they “taking back” Mandalore? The mutant creatures or the eyeball robots that live underground?

The post I replied to said Quinn was a better QB or better to watch than all QBs from 2010-2021. If I was building a Longhorn team, Ewers should be the top pick talentwise among those we’ve had since Colt left. I was stating their stats and performance relative to Quinn. If you are Quinn’s white knight, ok. But you can’t say his experience before his first start (in addition to being 5++++ star rated) was equivalent to Ash or Sam coming in as true freshmen. Is the new argument that RS-FR Quinn played slightly better than true freshmen Sam and Ash? Ok congratulations. Let’s anoint him the 2024 #1 pick.

Slow your roll on David Ash and Sam Ehlinger if your point is to fluff Ewers. As a true sophomore, Ash completed 67.3%, 2699 yards, 8.5y/a, 19 TD, 8 INT. Before he got hurt as a true junior, he went 60.9% completion, 8.7 y/a, 7 TD, 2 INT. As a true sophomore, Sam completed 64.7%, 3292 yards, 7.7 y/a, 25 TD, 5 INT. As a true junior, he went 65.2%, 3663 yards, 8.1 y/a, 32 TD, 10 INT. Quinn as RS-freshman was 58.1%, 2177 yards, 7.4 y/a, 15 TD, 6 INT. Quinn has the talent go 1-1 in the NFL draft. But if he doesn’t make a big jump in production he won’t go that high, or may not even be a first rounder. He needs a big jump just to match Ash and Sam when they were the same age.

If your strategy is “Wemby or nothing”, then you are correct that anyone in the bottom 3 has the same odds. But the third worst team also has a 14.8% of picking 5th, 26% chance of picking 6th, and 7% of picking 7th. If you finish worst, the worst pick you can get is #5.

Silas is trying to pull a Lovie Smith here.

For a while the “experts” have said if this group of WRs (JSN, Addison, Johnston, the 2 Tenn guys) would be second round picks in most drafts. The more educated mocks seems to go that way and have most of them dropping to the end of the first. One or more of the top 5 will likely be there at pick #33. DL and CB are the first round value this year. I don’t know if they’d take another corner after getting Stingley, but very good ones will be on the board at #12. OT2, possibly OT1 could be there, and all these fringe top 10 edge guys.

Who are the slow learners, the people who want the worst record or the people who say being in the bottom 3 is all that matters? I’ve always understood the odds. The 5th pick is better than the 7th pick if things go shitty with ping pong balls.

Stupid bastards

Roger Goodell is such a cunt bitch. The majority of owners could force the move if Goodell wanted to move on it. Nobody in America outside of Adams’s daughter, Adams’s corpse, and the raccoon/toupee would disagree the world is better with the Houston Oilers in it.

The Raiders took Jalen Carter off their board. Something about previous first round picks having issues with drinking and street racing.

At least now Omega has a big sister and her stepmom to talk to when she gets her period instead of having Tech and Wrecker awkwardly explain her changing body, which was how this season was trending. Good point about major plot line to both Mando and Bad Batch is related to cloning, and Filoni having to divert his creativity to plug holes for the shit sequels.

Grogu is more underutilized in a battle than DJ Monroe in a Greg Davis offense. He’s a gadget player that can make big plays!

Assuming they spend the same amount on the roster (you aren’t required to spend the full cap, only above a certain floor), he’s not saving anything. However, guaranteed money must be put in escrow up front and QBs are getting significantly more guaranteed money these days, so some teams may not have an extra $250M in the bank to put in escrow. Also there’s the philosophical decision of spreading your salary cap out more evenly over 22 players vs. tying up 40% of your cap on one QB who could suck or get hurt.

I don’t think Detroit will win again. The odds for top 4 are all the same, but it will suck if we end up getting pushed all the way down to #6.

You’d think if a dual threat QB was going to play for Robert Kraft, it would be Deshaun Watson.

Deshaun Watson didn’t “reset the market.” The Browns paid over market for him to convince him to come to that hell hole instead of Atlanta. Lamar expects to get paid more total and more guaranteed than Watson and Mahomes when so much of his game is based on his legs which will likely start to slow or get dinged up more often during his next contract period. Expanding on my previous post, the NFL Network Radio breakdown went into all the shoe, soda, trading card, etc. deals he’s missed out on because his mom is obsessed with him being the highest paid at everything. He ends up with very few endorsement contracts and has left millions or tens of millions on the table.

It could be the “system” colluding against him, but all the NFL Network and ESPN types have shared many similar anecdotes about Jackson and his mom being woefully inexperienced in contracts, not for football but also endorsements. When the Ravens offered him a reasonable extension with a lot of guaranteed money, his mom asked questions about various clauses in the contract. When they told her it was standard NFL contract language, she took offense that they were implying her son was a “standard” rather than exceptional player. That blew up the negotiations as much as them insisting on getting more guaranteed money per year than Watson got from the Browns. If the Ravens won’t give him $50m/year guaranteed, why does expect another team to give him that plus lose two first round picks in the trade?
