?? Ben led the league in yards and completions last year. Yes his picks were up, but so were his attempts. It wasn’t his most successful season, but he hasn’t (yet) lost a step. And even if he had, they’d need to get rid of AB. Yes their D is ass but they’d be far from the only team to suffer for paying a top-tier QB…

yeah IDK. Ben is one of the top 5-7 QBs in the league. I mean, they offered Bell 70/5 and around 33 guaranteed so that’s on him for wanting to get more, not Ben’s cap hit. And I don’t see where AB has been pushed away. They have excused his questionable behavior over the years and then he just up and quit because he…

Bell’s issues weren’t with Ben, and AB has praised him nonstop until this mess. I agree on Ben being a drama queen asshole but you can’t think the only reason AB and Bell are acting this way is Ben and they’d be different with another QB.

that doesn’t fit the narrative here!

Questionable, but predictable take by this blog. Ben’s an asshole and a likely criminal, but he knows what he is doing on the football field. Name another situation where the QB isn’t the single most important player on the team, by virtue of what he does. AB is insane. Just wait until Jimmy Garropolo doesn’t get him…

didn’t he double dribble?

IN RUSSIA, FACE SIT ON YOU

Yes. That’s how this works.

So because they screwed up an attempt to build a winner they have to potentially screw themselves again for that reason? Doesn’t compute.

why

Or maybe he’d told them something different later?

I hear ya but for closers there’s Rivera and then a hundred million light years, and then the next crop of HOF closers.

Mariano, what I wanted to tell you, before I was so rudely interrupted, is that you are the first person from the steroid era Yankees to have made the Hall of Fame. Congrats, I guess.

+1

All that murder and torture is just horseplay, right you cocksucking afterbirth?

Dude this is terrible ... reporting? blogging? Brown’s issues aren’t about his contract, which isn’t in dispute. Not even remotely similar to Bell or whoever. He quit and refuses to return Tomlin or Rooney’s calls. This is really piss poor for Deadspin.

Parting hair down the middle is so weird looking [checks author’s pic] i mean no it’s fine....

Same amount of points in 141 fewer games; ability to get out of the second round more than once. 

HOLY SHIT THIS IDIOT
