What are the odds that the QBs at the top of the draft aside from Lawrence even pan out? It seems like every year there's a bunch of QBs picked in the first round and most of them either turn out mediocre or flame out completely.

Harold Baines was worse, surely? 38.7 WAR in 11092 PA vs 36.5 in 8379 for Maz.

Even if this statement was something that could actually be measured and verified rather than baseless speculation, it still means nothing in terms of the Rams prospects going forward and doesn't weigh the fact that Stafford is quickly approaching an age where most QBs begin to drop off a cliff...

Seems like a lot to give up for a 33 year old QB with 0 career playoff wins

I hope Schilling gets voted in by the special committee the year after he dies, and whoever speaks on his behalf is less full of hatred and inflammatory rhetoric than he.

Hooper's decisive home run in the 1915 world series wasn't a walk-off, it was in the top of the ninth.

If somebody refuses to vote for Schilling because of the character clause then it would be hypocritical of them not to leave Clemens off their ballot as well, due to his likely sexual relationship with a 15 year old.

I thought the stories about Cobb being a hardcore racist were made up by his autobiographer and in reality he supported integration and funded the creation of a hospital system that mostly benefitted underserved minority communities? EDIT: This article goes into a lot of detail about Cobb's...

If your stance on PED users is "I don't care at all, players should be inducted solely on their performance" then Manny, Sosa, McGwire and Palmeiro should all clearly be in the Hall and Sheffield probably should as well.

At a quick glance I thought Aramis Ramirez would have the best case out of the first-time candidates based solely on what I remembered about them, but after checking his stats I'm surprised at how low his career WAR is, especially as a 3rd baseman with a good batting average and almost 400...

I remember that season fairly well, they started 0-4 with 4 close losses against good teams, and after beating the Broncos and Colts (both playoff teams) fairly convincingly to get back to 2-4 I actually thought that they would ride the momentum back and make a run for the playoffs. But after...

Maybe this is naive thinking on my part but for superstar players like Betts, I think there could be a measurable impact in one's public perception/marketability, and in turn in the amount of money made via endorsements, if they spend their entire career with one organization (e.g., Derek...

Abhorrence for Lawrence

So long, Brock-y! See you in Milwaukee! Sorry, that's all I have to contribute.

Not really, the 05 team was terrible defensively in the first half of the season but did a complete 180 after Bruschi returned from his stroke, giving up only 118 points in the final 8 games of the season. This includes the final game of the season which they lost intentionally to get a more...
