Big Leonard is/was a very impressive prospect. And now he's told us how slow the NFL is, we know he's gonna dominate

Brady says he never even gets sore after practice:

40? Meh. He's certainly doubling down on his ironman approach, tho.

LOL @ that Blake Bortles write up.

The Bortles thing is funny...but using a 2-year average on the contract value to justify paying Bortles $19m next year when this year is set in stone regardless is mind-numbingly lolJags bad.

The fact that the $19m is only guaranteed for injury & if he's healthy they can just cut him with no repercussion would be the reason picking up the option makes (some) sense.

That video of A Rob saying "God damn man throw the ****ing **** in bounds." when Bortles didn't give him any kind of chance in one on one drills is great.

Ryan Mallet still employed in the NFL somehow

He's 6'6" and white, easily good for another 4-5 years in the league

Wait, what? What team is he on? This is news to me. Thought he was gone for good after he got cut from...what team was he on, the Texans?

Baltimore, he threw 2 picks v. Miami. Probably won't be employed long.

Tall white dudes don't get kicked out of the league so easily man.

Even ryan lindley is in canada atm.

btw, that league had a 60-1 game a couple weeks ago.

Payton is just too ashamed because he didn't coach through the pain and hat to sit out a couple of games. Softest coach in the league.

I'm not a fan of these "what if you knew everything" scenarios. But for arguments sake, do we also know his character issues/chances of being suspended?

My personal take on spending high picks on RBs is to judge them by their contribution in the passing game. Are they a legit receiving threat and do they create mismatches? Can they block? I'd also rank professionalism very highly during interviews/their college career. RBs get his a ton, durability is an issue if I invest in them. I want to know that they are on the SJax end of the "I'm a pro" spectrum. And obviously they need to run the ball well enough. That means I'm very likely to underrate the ADPs of the world and overrate the Sproleses of the world.
I'd also always want a goal line/3rd down bruiser on my team but would never pay anything for them. I don't think my elite back needs to bring that to the table, it can be added via another back.

I think if you sum up a million draft decisions regarding RBs it's a bigger mistake to occasionally falsely assume you have a black swan on your hand than to miss the occasional black swan. And that's also why I don't like the what if I knew scenarios. The equity that you can gain over the competition is in the right long term metastrategy imo

ya these seem like the important things RBs do but i wanna add one more, fumble rate

(leveon fumbles it like once a year cos he's the man)

In a deposition last year Tom Benson couldn't name the city where the Saints won the Super Bowl, despite being there, nor could he remember Anthony Davis' name when showed a picture, despite him single handedly increasing the value of his NBA franchise by probably $100 million. This is fine.

Once again Miami has a horrible LB situation which, to their credit, they thought they had at least partially address in the draft before the projected starting MLB tore his ACL. If they don't swing some depth at LB like really soon then they may as well just fully tank, because this team won't win 5 games as is.

Dolphins get no credit for getting their only credible MLB hurt covering punts.

yup, LB situation yet another thing us long-suffering dolphins fans have to deal with. sigh. honestly dont know why i bother sometimes

Thanks Jeff Ireland. Overpay for Karlos Dansby then two years later realize you overpaid forbhim and then overpay for danelle ellerbee.

Man, next year is gonna be crazy for the QB market. A bunch of QBs potentially hitting free agency and a possibly loaded rookie class.

Bortles may get cut apparently

#BortlesFacts

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just watched Hard Knocks episode 2. I really digged Grimes' wife's style. She seemed pretty cool. Disagree about her assessment about the 5-7 yard routes though

man, feels like a record amount of teams throwing this year

Current o/u odds:
Bears 5.5
Rams 5.5
Browns 4.5
Jets 4.5
49ers 4.5

Jaguars somehow at 6.5

"Blake Bortles has never been cut from an NFL roster"
