Reid struggles somewhat in coverage though so I’d think a better coverage guy sets the market and Reid ends up getting roughly 3/4 of whatever that guy (Honey Badger probably) ends up making.

I think it’s both. Lesser things like DUIs or whatever owners probably don’t care about but DV or the anthem protests - especially if you’re in a deep red state and worried about the bottom line - is something owners are more likely to weigh in on.

Exactly! Safety isn’t a prioritized position for anyone other than stars. Typically not a major day-1 thing unless someone like Ed Reed shakes loose. He’ll get paid and paid well once the dust settles on the major FAs whose positions command far more money and prioritization than safety.

Kaep DEFINITELY wasn’t one of the 20 best QBs, right? Should be able to agree on that for sure. From there, you have to then factor in teams with young guys who are next up that exist on most other teams without a top 20 QB. So using your really bad example Houston had this guy named Deshaun Watson - you may’ve heard…

These Terminator sequels are getting pretty lazy

I refute that point by saying that the Patriots lost a Super Bowl.

To be fair, their choices were truly either Thomas or Russell and Russell had just wrapped up a season where they finished #3 and dominated the Sugar Bowl and had all of the measurables. Jamarcus is the biggest bust in NFL history without question but the pick made complete sense at the time. You were never going to…

Pats fan here but if I was a fan of a team with horrible QBs I’d want to do exactly what they have even if their results have been trash.

Eh. They hired the FBI Director to be the new SoS. Now, he can hire a new FBI Director. Knowing what we know, what are the chances that the only prerequisite for that job is the right answer to, “Would you fire Mueller?” Things are about to get reeeeally bad.

Obviously it’s fun to laugh at his phrasing but would you rather extra cops in the schools or arming teachers?

Very pumped about this. As a Pats fan, I was really worried they were gonna get Cousins and bubble back up. Case isn’t bad but he’s not good enough to be more than a placeholder to let the team think they can win when, in reality with that dude, they can’t win. I’d assume they’re going to draft someone at 5.

Most CEOs aren’t worth it - and very very few are worth the stupid high amount some get - but it is a rough job and one that really does take a mindset many don’t have and aren’t smart enough to get to.

One of my best friends is a Bills fan. He thinks this past year was fool’s gold. Their best offensive player is an older RB (for an RB, of course) who’s already starting to get dinged up. He’s pumped for this because “now we have enough picks to move up and get a QB that can make all the throws.”

Embiid is awesome. If you could guarantee full health I’d take him over Anthony Davis, the talent is that immense, and I love Davis. Even as a Celtics fan, I pull for dude. We’ve lost too many coulda/woulda/shoulda been guys lately (Roy, Oden, Rose) that he needs to be right...

That is exactly what we’re like, yes.

This. Also add in the fact that they tend to play small(er) ball mostly so defense takes an extra effort that’s hard to hit at this point. I have no doubt they’re repeating. Assuming they’re healthy, they will take Houston’s lunch money in the playoffs. I’d bet my life on it.

I agree with that. My much much much bigger problem is why “Are you gay?” is considered offensive.

I get and support asking offensive questions. You will be asked stupid and offensive questions as an NFL player and, if you were to get heated, that reaction can embarrass a billion dollar brand which these guys are paid to represent. That’s why us normal shmoes aren’t asked them in our 9-5s.

Yes, that is the weird part of this

Don’t use Anne Frank in your ads. She wouldn’t be a Belieber, wouldn’t be on Bumble, and definitely wouldn’t be a Clippers fan. This really isn’t fucking hard.
