If he exposes himself and kisses you without permission, why are you at his house a month later watching a television program?

He is a whackjob based on his behavior in Pittsburgh. However this was orchestrated to get out if the Raiders because that organization is so messed up. He lost a guaranteed 20 million from this contract. He will not sign a big enough contract to make up for that. He was already going to be one of the highest paid receivers.

he is not going to get more money.

At the end of last year he had improved in many of the areas. Yesterday no so much.

I would disagree that free agency is the exam. The only exam that matters is the results in wins and loses. They need to be competitive next year and challenging for the playoffs in 2021. I dont care how they get there. If their evaluation is that they have it the system, fine. However the results need to start showing next year.

That's what happens when the coach doesnt play them in the preseason. The first couple of games will be real speed practice and that's exactly what this game showed, for both teams.

The problem is very few things truly have concrete evidence and data. Even the baseball advanced metrics are an algorithm designed by what someone though was important. Some of it used linear regressive to determine which variable were the most predictive but even then they aren't that high.

If they move around a ton, you get the scenario I presented. Coaches continually having to teach their system to new QBs and the offense will never really get going. This will not be conducive for winning teams.

That's fine but teams can't tank like in baseball. And if you continually change QBs that's what you are doing. You will never win. It is much more of a business than baseball with revenue sharing and the salary cap.

the NFL owners woudn't tolerate the way baseball is run. There is far too much revenue sharing for them to put up with a team purposely losing.

With this philosophy the team will never win. Its takes the QB a year or two to learn the system. If they do that it will be a continual learning process and no winning.

Like someone else said its supply and demand. There aren't enough good QBs to go around so if they find a decent one they need to keep them. The price is just the going rate. Coaches and GMs dont have the time or contracts to continually look for new QBs and acclimate them to the system.

Rothlisberger/Wentz Connor Chubb Thomas Evans Kittle Thielen Steelers Lutz Bench: Johnson Jr., Montgomery, Robinson, Walker, Eagles D I'm fairly happy which means my team will suck.

Doesn't sound like it. He has refused to even discuss an extension over the last 2 years according to reports. That could just be Boras and wanting to go to FA but it doesn't sound very amicable.

That's the dilemma. It's why burton or any blocking and receiving TE is so important for mismatches. I haven't seen enough of wims/Ridley to know the answer. The answer may be Cohen and Montgomery in the backfield and one of them spilts out on the LB.

The players still have the ultimate control. Look at Bryant. He was and is angry with the Cubs for treating him this way and won't sign an extension with them. He has 2 years left but it looks like the Cubs gained a year of service time but lost are really good player for the long term.

some guys are just "twitchy" and there isn't much you can do about it. however, it would be interesting to see his off season strength program.

They will still face better pitching than at the AAA level. Maybe not much but still better. Plus they will have a month to see MLB umpires and their strike zones. I know you don't think baseball is different in the MLB vs. AAA and the minors but it is.

Do you really believe this? The FO will dictate how the young players were and are handled. The FO told Ricky how and when to play Collins the last time he was up.

The parents are going after the team and its representatives. If they can prove it was a representative of the team that gave him these and prove that they told him it would help the pain, it could get interesting. They didn't "force" him to but if it was supplied by and suggested by a team representative, they could have a case. This seems really hard to prove but it looks like the have the money to pursue the investigation and lawsuit.

Also to prevent more dime substitution. Burton on an LB is a big mismatch.

Same for mine although I have a weekend plan and the increase wasn't quite that much. Still the largest increase since 2006 though.

Ok. But they dont take the chances of injury.

they arent going to go much over 100. he didnt have more than a hitter or two left at the most. I'm not sure how long you want them to go but it's not realistic.

Starter was pulled with 90 pitches and the reliever finished the inning with no damage. I don't think pulling the starter early had anything to do with the relievers blowing the lead.
