He's not funny.

All 537 of them are on the take.

Working backwards, after Coen was hired, I thought that same thing. If he was able to turn Mayfield into a good player, he should be able to do the same with Lawrence. In my keeper league, I was going to see if the Trevor Lawrence owner was going to be willing to trade him... to be fair, I was 100% confident he would. Then, I waited for the draft to see what the Jags were going to do. At the time, when they drafted Hunter (I thought they were moving up for Jeanty), I was still intrigued because of the hype around the kid. I was thinking that they were looking to basically try to recreate an Evans/Godwin situation. Honestly, I was all in. Then, I started doing some research and talking and that's when people I know chimed in about Hunter being a better DB than a WR. The Jags OLine was, at best, below average. They didn't address that. Their RB's were below average. Not sure they really addressed that. Brian Thomas was better with Mac Jones than Trevor Lawrence. I then tied that in to stuff I've heard previously, that Lawrence wasn't really "all-in" so to speak, on football. With all of that, everyone on Jacksonville went on my DND list and I never inquired about trading for Lawrence. Fast forward to pre-season, I thought that their kicker might be their best fantasy player... I actually have him in 3 of my 4 leagues. From there, working forward, with that premise. I did not watch Jacksonville's games because what's the point? They're just like the Browns. So I'm pretty much box score watching with them. I'll go with what you said as fact, and with that, I'll say this... I'm not surprised. I wouldn't be surprised at all of Thomas is following the lackadaisical tone of his QB. I also wouldn't be surprised if he's thinking, you know what, I'll just go out there and do what I do and not put myself in harms way for this bum [Lawrence]. I think Coen's system works in the NFL... I just think he needs a new QB, one who actually cares and doesn't suck. After that, I think both Thomas and Hunter could be quality NFL and fantasy, players. Based on the two weeks worth of information we have, if I'm Coen, I'm telling ownership/management, that I want a new starting QB in the offseason.

I don't watch college football, but people I talk to who do, all seemed to have the same opinion of Hunter. He'll likely be a stud DB but may contribute on offense. After the draft and seeing what team took him, I think anyone drafting him (in non-IDP leagues), was very foolish. Trevor Lawrence can't even get Brian Thomas the ball. I mean, come on.

Screw that! He's tied for 23rd! Based on the first 2 games, if Brown ends up as a WR2, the people who drafted Brian Thomas are going to be very upset.

Well, you know what they say, it's better to be lucky than good. Though, I agree with your premise. The only reason Ertz is outscoring Bowers is because he's been able to score. I expect the 2 to 0 TD lead that Ertz has, to do an about face. I also expect Ertz to miss 3 to 6 games this year and I expect a TD correction in the future. I agree with taking a late round TE that's reliably acceptable, and stream if necessary, but let's realistic. Assuming both are healthy, by year's end, Bowers is going to be 3 to 5 points per game better than Ertz.

I don't have sympathy for Communists when they die, they just shouldn't be assassinated. My guess is that they're all still alive because not even Satan wants their level of evil down there.

710 Don't have a kid at 16.

Just don't know why you wouldn't criticize Murphy and the policy in it's own thread as warning to people as something that could happen in their state.

Weeeelllll.....????

So it did make a jump in 2024 like HT said? Got it.

It just didn't for him, so it didn't matter. You know, no different than "I can't see it from my house" or "As long as it's not in my yard". Same argument as illegals.

They're all suckers.

Shhh... that's the part you don't say out loud. I bet that if Sherrill is elected, he'll be here complaining about his property taxes going up... and blaming Trump's policies.
