this is a fine argument in general, but not if compared to Hamlin. Flacco played 2.7x more snaps (including playoff games) than Hamlin did after all

Hamlin is a lock for that award if he actually plays. Just being a ST regular would have been enough.

Now you can argue that occupying a roster spot should be enough for him. I agree with that. But it's fair that others don't.

The guy does a write up of why and his points are all pretty reasonable.

After I saw a straw poll on ESPN of flacco winning comeback wanted to bet it but was no where to online.

They probably took it down at some point. Before the season you could bet Hamlin at -360 and back in October, before Flacco, he was still -270.

Myles Garrett winning DPOY over Watt, Parsons, Crosby, etc is a joke

At least it shouldn't have surprised anyone, he was the clear betting favorite at -200 when voting concluded before the start of the playoffs.

Flacco/Hamlin isn't really comparable though....Hamlin is his own lane for obvious reasons.

But once comparing Flacco to other QB's, he played 5 games and wasn't as good as them (Tua, Stafford) so why would he win? It just doesn't really make sense other than media got swept up in his narrative/story.

Yeah I'd be fine with neither of them winning, really. Hamlin sentimental favorite for sure, but what'd the guy have, like 2 tackles in 5 total games played, mostly on ST?

With Tua and Stafford I guess a lot of voters didn't even consider them eligible for the award? There's no precise definition of the criteria, you don't have to finish the previous season on IR or something. We don't even know what exactly somebody has to come back from.

Should Mahomes be voted for next season if he comes back from his worst statistical season as a starter and all the adversity that came with having bad receivers?

Flacco a better comeback than tua or Stafford in that it was very very unexpected

Streaming fans rejoice, Amazon bought a Wild Card round playoff game for next season.

They're expected to pay significantly more than the $110mil NBCU paid for the Chiefs - Dolphins game this year. That game averaged 23mil viewers across Peacock and local NBC affiliates which was >10% more than the Chargers - Jaguars game on regular TV in the same time slot last year.

200M people are already subscribed to Prime Video vs 30M for Peacock so a big chunk of those 2.8M will be spared from having to do the whole signup/cancel dance, the peacock stream quality itself was also horrific

Sucks to hear the Peacock quality was bad. Game on broadcast TV for me so I didn't have to stream. But I'm usually happy with their quality for Premier League and cycling. I hope they have that figured out in time for the Olympics.

I watched all the SNF games on Peacock. No real issues for me.

Bears say they wont trade the #1 pick unless its a “crazy (good) offer”. Reports are they’ll look to keep the pick and take either Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, or Jayden Daniels.

I think Fields has promise and there’s zero guarantee:
1. They pick the right QB who actually excels.
2. None of them could “be that good”.

DJ Moore has championed Fields cause recently. I say trade the damn #1 for an amazing package of picks AND players. You still have #9 to take a blue chip type prospect. And build around Fields!
