You’re right that he’s a master of social media manipulation, and media manipulation in general, but not here. Typically he’s only capable of really pulling it off by saying something stupider than whatever it is they’re talking about currently to shift the focus. That’s about the only smart thing he’s capable of…

And how exactly is a person holding a gun no threat?

I didn’t say it was fine to straight up murder someone, and I believe we would’ve been better off if he had been put on trial. I’m just a realist that can understand the potential issues with attempting to capture someone who’ll likely do anything, including blow himself up to kill others, in order to prevent capture.

And, like he said, that’s easy to say when you’re not the one who has to go in and capture a guy who not only would rather die than be captured, but has followers protecting him that feel the same. Including the potential to blow themselves up just to keep it from happening. There’s a lot more to it than “capture him”.

I’m not saying they are mutually exclusive, just that this was obviously a terrible defense and because of that we should take into account the Cowboy’s performance and not get all excited when they faced one of the worst teams in the league. And to me, the second gif says a lot about how bad the Giants defense is,…

And as I said, I’m not buying that it’s not more to do with an inept defense than an offense that’s really that impressive, yet. The reason I bring up the second gif is because it’s a perfect example of that, where the defense is presented with receivers doing very simple routes yet somehow can’t cover that in a zone…

Couldn’t agree more, even if it’s from only a handful of plays. But if you look closely, the two times he hit a wide open man down the middle it was the only offensive player within almost 20 yards. This is very clearly blown coverage more than an amazing offense opening up receivers.

So wait, the movie “The Hunt”, which actually martyred conservatives and made them the heroes, gets completely shut down yet this is OK for those same people? Will conservatives ever admit their own hypocrisy or just keep acting like they don’t know the meaning of the word?

This blind defending of Marvel is disturbing, especially considering not only what you mention of how they’ve handled queer characters, but women in general. People act like they’ve done amazing things for women but it’ll take them until 2020 to release a movie with a female lead. The in movie “we’re women” bullshit…

And I’m saying it’s not narrower compared to other positions, because it’s not. Every position has top tier players, but top tier RBs are consistently the most heavily used position in terms of percentage of the offense outside of top tier QBs. Most of the top teams in the NFL don’t have a lot of money tied up in…

“ Yes, it sucks for those players, but it’s beyond stupid for teams to tie up a significant portion of their cap with the position that is relatively the most replaceable and has the shortest shelf life.”

Looking purely at rushing yards and touchdowns for a running back who’s trying to get paid is disingenuous, at best, especially when so many of these guys get significant passing yards from “long hand offs”. His overall stats suggest he’s a top 3-5 running back in the league and the way RB’s are used in today’s game…

The Steelers weren’t “fine”, they missed the playoffs to a team that has a QB that runs more than he throws the ball. This is a huge misconception because Bell’s backup did a half decent job the first 1/3 of the season. When it came to crunch time the team sorely missed Bell a lot more than anyone seems to realize.

“A big part of why he accepted less overall money is almost certainly that he thought he would get more money and he was wrong.”

And being a running back in today’s NFL he would be more prone to injury compared to other positions, especially as much as his workload increased in 2017. Even more so as a top 5 back that the team obviously leans on. So of course the possibility of injury was a factor to him.

What you’re overlooking is the thing the matters, guaranteed money. For RBs that’s where it really matters. Because of their workload they have the shortest play span of offensive players, so they need to make the same kind of money WRs and QBs make over fewer years, considerably fewer years. Top QBs and WRs often…

I really don’t get the appeal of this game. I literally heard a streamer call it amazing how it’s old school feeling because of the color palette feeling so bland like Xbox 360-gen games. Played it a few minutes and the controls are alright, but the gameplay is as bland as the color scheme.

That’s kinda my point, thoughI wasn’t very clear. Running backs in general are a dime a dozen. Anyone who isn’t a top 5 running back is easily replaced for the most part, the difference is those top 5. And these guys are starting to realize that their careers are much shorter than most other big name players at other…

He is playing by the rules, in exercising his right to not play in hopes of holding out for a better contract.

This would be a valid point 20 years ago, but in today’s NFL where running backs are a dime a dozen, these guys need to get their pay days when they can get them because their seasons typically last 5 years at best at this point.
