    I can hardly take it anymore

  2. Yeah a lot of muy loco hombres
  3. The problem with the QB contracts is you had some guys that were great and got paid, and then you had a lot of guys that were pretty good and got paid about 80-90% as much, when in reality their salary cap value compared to the greats should be probably half or less. Teams aren't good at admitting that the QB marketed as the face of their franchise isn't a top 10 (let alone top 5) difference-making type guy, and shouldn't be paid as such. That's why Dak is more likely to get $35M from the Cowboys than he is to go out on the market and get more than the $30Mish you (correctly, in my opinion) think his worth maxes out at.
  4. The Raiders also kept their old rivals the Steelers out of the playoffs by beating the Steelers something like 3 or 4 times in Roethlisberger's career. Fat lot of good it did the Raiders though. You can't judge a team by just their 1 or 2 or 3 best games in the regular season. They are a mediocre football team that has squandered 6 1st round picks in the last 3 years and doesn't have real upside.

    Rand Paul 2024!! *UPDATE*

    It means Biden is putting an end to the daily combative Twitter/presser/rally circus that Trump was running. It doesn't mean policy that is equally liked by both parties. The impeachment is also unrelated because that's not up to Biden. sry nop
  6. The Raiders are hopeless. Not worth analyzing.

    Updated: Deshaun Watson Drama

    The Texans need help not so much at skill positions but at offensive line.

    Rand Paul 2024!! *UPDATE*

    The other thread wasn't good enough for you? This guy Rand Paul, - The Geek Club - FFToday Forums
  10. If the apex of the trajectory is halfway through the pipe, then you have 2" of drop to work with, not just 1". 2 in = 0.0508m = 0.5 x 386.4 in/s^2 x t^2 => t = 0.102s Which means 24" / .102s = 24" * (.0254 m per inch) / .102s = 5.98 m/s * 2.24 mph / (m/s) = 13.4 mph, not counting for air resistance or the extra 0.07" of leeway, obviously.

    Dear CBS

    Dear CBS, FU for requiring people with a TV provider to also have a subscription to CBS All Access in order to access CBS NFL games online away from home. (FOX, NBC, ESPN, and ABC all have apps/websites which work as long as you just log into a regular provider.)

    UPDATE: Lions trade Matthew Stafford to Rams

    It's not that he's the problem. It's that he's not the solution. By the time the Lions get things sorted out Stafford will be too old.

    Trade Carr or Trade Mariota?

    Ding ding ding. You don't get that with a Derek Carr at QB, with a mediocre QB you only get free agents who couldn't get more money elsewhere. The Raiders have done everything they can to build that offense and they barely have a top 10 offense to show for it. That's not enough to overcome the defensive liabilities incurred by building the team that way.
  14. Pretend you have full control over Raiders personnel decisions. (And you want them to do well!) You can either: Trade Derek Carr for a 2nd round pick (He's 29.8 years old, costs $22.125M against the cap next year, is under contract through 2022, would be a $2.5M dead cap hit to get rid of) or Trade Marcus Mariota for a 5th round pick (He's 27.3 years old, costs $10.625M against the cap next year, is under contract through 2021, no dead cap hit to get rid of) Which do you do?

    Old Man Rivers

    Good riddance. Immature person for an NFL QB, consistently failed in the clutch for someone who is highly regarded, and has way too damn many kids. If he makes the HOF it will just make the Hall more of a joke.
