Oh damn. Motorcycle accident, passenger on his back died too.

This is what he had posted beforehand:

With the helmets backwards it's very JFK/Lincoln funeralesque.

eta: Huh, you learn something new everyday: Riderless horse

Legitimately think motorcycles should be banned.

I've got a few family members that are big into motorcycles. They take a week off during the year to drive it across the country to the Dakotas for some gathering or something. All of them have spent time in the hospital because they broke something during a motorcycle incident. I don't really get the appeal of it but despite the injuries they've gotten from it they still seem to love it.

Why?

Motorcycles will be amazing once self-driving cars make it illegal to manually operate a 2 ton death machine on the roads.

My Dad worked in car insurance and seeing all the grisly results of motorcycle accidents he would never allow me to even think about owning one.

Well, Brees also made a Pro Bowl in San Diego.

More to the point-- isn't evaluating the individual player what we're trying to do? We can't just look at stats and whether a particular play succeeded or failed; we have to look at the process, how it happened and why, how much the play design and coaching and surrounding talent mattered, what the player did or didn't do well in their process.

Goff had one of the worst rookie QB seasons of all-time; granted, he was surrounded by bad talent and worse coaching, but he wasn't even ordinary bad, he was all-time bad. Now he's had two great seasons. The truth is probably somewhere in between. (He's had a higher ANY/A than Rodgers the last two years but I don't think anyone would argue Goff is the better player.)

Watching the Rams the last two years, I see a lot of stuff where McVay runs a play action boot or something and there's one wide open guy for Goff to throw to. He doesn't have to do anything difficult. He can complete a pass pretty accurately if you give him an easy pass. McVay is good designing plays where the first read is open, and Goff struggles beyond that.

What you bring to the table matters, and I don't think Goff creates plays at all or is a player you want to count on when the going gets tough.

remember when everyone lol'd at the wentz/goff trade ups and all they did was both go to super bowls?

I sure did lol me.

5 of the top 6 picks in that draft made the playoffs last season. Things change fast in the NFL. The other one was in a conf title game the prior season.

Wentz “went” to a super bowl.

Goff might not be a top-20qb.

Do everyone remember when we all lol'd at the Jets drafting Hackenberg and then he got benched a year later in the semi-pro league?

There's no main point to that. I just wanted to laugh about it again

Hack never played a down in the NFL reg season. It's impressive even by jets standards.

Also reminded me marquise williams can't even get a camp and there's at least 10 guys right now who should've been out of chances three years ago.

(oh sure, I don't know if he's good enough either but looks to me like he's definitely done enough to earn a shot at one)

Part 1 complete.

Fun fact: the most dangerous and violent predator in the world is a pitbull with CTE on a motorcycle.

Jaylon Smith extended by Cowboys. No terms yet that I can see

Sir this is the NFL offseason thread

****, sorry. I had the other thread open and posted wrong.

First mistake in 27k+ posts, not bad.

Raiders’ AB circus probably gonna last a while....

AB definitely has some CTE brain mush going on, i say just let him use his old shitty not safe helmet because he's beyond saving at this point anyway

Smith deal 5/65/35.5m

The only thing I could really think of in response was "Mike Vick is already freed"

yeah, the AB circus won't stop - I kept thinking as a Steelers fan that the video in the locker room, kicking the cooler, throwing the couch off the balcony, etc were just one-off frustrations but they just kept coming. He'll find something wrong especially if they are losing.
