    Alex Cora's first season

    Its crazy that coaching staffs actually can affect performance, and aren't just there to talk to the press. Huge fan of Cora so far. The first 16 games of the season count just as much as the last 16 - and its much nicer to have teams chasing us than be chasing other teams.

    Seattle Postpones Kaepernick Meeting Due to Protest

    I get that - but what sort of proactive plan would he need? How, specifically, does it affect the team? Be specific here. How is he different than say, JJ Watt, who spent a good chunk of last year pushing a social issue (including interviews during games, and official nfl events)? Would they...

    Seattle Postpones Kaepernick Meeting Due to Protest

    What sort of plan does one need for kneeling? How is his kneeling adversely affecting the team?

    Seattle Postpones Kaepernick Meeting Due to Protest

    Yes, the guy who kneels to protest police killing people who look like him is a bigger media circus then the raging alcoholic who beats his girlfriend and can't be trusted to show up to practice sober.

    Seattle Postpones Kaepernick Meeting Due to Protest

    The whole thing is a little strange considering how blue Washington (and specifically Seattle) are.

    2018 Patriots Roster

    Moss was significantly faster in 2007 than Bryant has ever been. (supposedly ran a 4.3 40 during Patriots workouts) Boldin is probably best case scenario, late career Keyshawn is probably more likely.

    Cooks and pick traded to the Rams for picks

    The constant straw-manning really makes this forum a pain in the ass. Can't have a damn discussion without people making up a dozen arguments to stick in someone's mouth. Its tedious.

    Cooks and pick traded to the Rams for picks

    Which is why I said I don't have a problem with the trade - I have a problem with what their current WR corps looks like. And yeah, they'll be fine in 2018 - as long as all of the post-injury guys look like themselves. And some of the young guys take steps forward.They just look like a unit...

    Cooks and pick traded to the Rams for picks

    In isolation, I have no problem with this trade - Cooks was about to get paid like an elite WR, and I think he's merely a very good receiver. My issue at this point is that the WR corps as a whole are a combination of old and injury question marks. They're really at a time when they need to...

    2018 NFL Transactions & News

    @Super Nomario - Dorsett played limited ST in Indy. I don't think he's good at it, but he does have some experience (and he returned punts and kicks in college)

    2018 NFL Transactions & News

    You're way overestimating Brisset's talent level. FO has him at -14.3% DVOA for last year. Replacement level is set at -13%. He had the 3rd lowest completion percentage in the league (above Beathard and Kizer), and got sacked on 10% of his dropbacks (which is absurd). He's terrible. He's still...

    Pats sign Matt Tobin

    I'm not convinced he's even going to make the team. They sign a lot of cheap vets to see if they'll stick in training camp/preseason. Anyone know details on the money?

    Pats sign Jeremy Hill

    I wonder if there's something specific the Patriots coaches are looking at with respect to the Bengals line/coaching/etc with Burkhead and now Hill that leads to projections of improved performance.

    Malcolm Go! with love

    My understanding of the Butler situation is that it was the same issue as the Deion Branch situation- the team requiring the player to keep the last year of the rookie contract at the same value, and the player wanting to rip it up and get paid like a superstar immediately.(IE, the team wanted...

    It does when the entire premise of your argument relies on your evaluation of team and player performance over that year you didn't watch.

    Nate Solder to the Giants

    Which would be crazy, because the last time Eli was a (just barely) better than average QB was 2013. The only way this makes sense to me is if they really want to make sure whoever they draft will be well protected his first year or two, and they really don't care about the fact that there's a...

    Free Agency Game Thread

    For every guy that underperforms because of lack of pressure, there's probably a guy who performs better when he doesn't constantly have to worry. Solder is about an average starting LT (which is valuable), but he'll be 30 before the season starts, plays a position that there are very few...

    Sherman’s March From the SEA - Richard Sherman Speculation Thread

    There's a lot of incentives, and there's a good chance he doesn't get a ton of money, but the dude will be 30 before the contract starts, and he missed the 2nd half of last season with a torn ACL - nobody was going to give him significant real guarantees.

    Thank you Danny Amendola

    No. It's too much money. He's made $20M total in his career, and they gave him $12M/2 with $8M guaranteed. That's a 60% increase in his total earnings. They're giving him basically the same amount in guarantees as he's made over the last 4 years. I'm sad to see him go, but both him and...

    Malcolm Go! with love

    This is where I am. Lots of good Malcolm memories, but Gilmore is clearly the better player, and if the guaranteed money reported is correct (its probably not - Gilmore was reported at 40M, but really got 32M - Butler reported at 30M) - they basically cost the same.
