2.09 - WR AJ Brown, PHI

Yeah, I don't see why he wouldn't.

Yes, that's fair. I'm ok with that. Everyone's opinions are different... all good. My opinion hasn't changed on Mayfield. He's on one of the most talented offenses in football. I think there's about 25 other QB's in this league who could put up the numbers he can (or better). I don't think there's many teams that have a top 2 WR corp better than Evans and Godwin. McMillan came along well with more playing time and with the addition of top tier draft talent in Egbuka, I think the Bucs have the #1 WR corp in the NFL. With Irving and White, I don't think there's too many teams that provide a 1-2 punch like the Bucs. Do teams like the Eagles, Ravens, Falcons, San Fran, and Lions have an RB1 better than Irving? Sure... but I'll take White over all of their #2's, with the exception of Detroit. They also have a top 10 OLine vs the run and the pass. I think PFF ranked both of them in the top 7 last year. Cade Otton is a perfectly acceptable TE in the NFL. Are there guys better than him? Of course, but he's a legit starter in the league. Mayfield's fantasy production is much like Rachaad White's from 2023. He was RB6 I believe. Why? Opportunity and volume. That's no different for Mayfield. They'll throw the ball 560 to 580 times this year. He's got WR's to where he should compete 65% for at least 7.5 ypa. I don't think I could name 10 QB's who couldn't do that in Tampa. The baseline for passing yards by any QB who plays in Tampa should start with 4000 yards and 30 TD's. To note, I didn't draft Mayfield last year in my keeper league, I drafted Trevor Lawrence. I only traded him for Mayfield because of bye weeks. Jacksonville had the same bye week as Cincy (or Houston - can't remember). When I offered him to the guy who had Mayfield, he jumped at the offer.

Yeah, I wasn't worried about the collusion/veto aspect, I was just curious if people thought the offer was absurd or reasonable given the circumstances.

Something to keep in mind, it's a 2 QB league, so a lot of QB's are kept. Talking to people, here's a list of QB's that are probably going to be kept. Bo Nix Brock Purdy Drake Maye J.J. McCarthy Jalen Hurts Jared Goff Jayden Daniels Joe Burrow Jordan Love Josh Allen Lamar Jackson Matthew Stafford Michael Penix Odds are, at least guys like Mahomes, Herbert, & Mahomes will be drafted in the first 9 picks... probably one or two more. At best, this guys best QB may be: Sam Darnold Kyler Murray Geno Smith Aaron Rodgers Caleb Williams Bryce Young Kirk Cousins Tua Tagovailoa Russell Wilson He'll probably have to draft 2 at the wrap around. If he really wanted Mixon, I think he'd have no problems getting him at his #10/#11 wrap around as well as getting Robinson even later. Now, if he thinks that one of those guys will equal Mayfield this coming season, then I'd agree, it makes no sense to do this deal.

1.04 - WR Justin Jefferson, MIN

Will be interesting to see how this works out.

School and endocrinologists I talk to. This is NOT and good vs bad situation, it's a really bad vs just as bad, but slightly worse situation. Every nutritionist and endocrinologist will tell you to avoid both, but if you don't and have a choice, choose sugar cane. Both will do the same thing to your body, but the risks are greater with corn syrup. Also, your brain doesn't recognize corn syrup as an adequate nutrient. When that happens, your body doesn't register it as satiating and you're more likely to keep eating/drinking. This is why the risks are higher. Again, people should avoid both. There's no winner. In a way, it's like a football team losing 14-0 or 17-0. No one wants either, but you're better off losing 14-0. Like you noted, the difference isn't great, but one is worse. Why choose that one?

"Nutritionally", this is true... long term, sugar is better. HFCS has a bigger negative impact on your metabolism, liver, and gut health. Neither are particularly good for you, but considering that the majority of people consuming them aren't doing it in true moderation, they're definitely better off, with cane sugar.

Information I like to hear. Makes him a better option in my keeper league for a future investment.

Obama and the Democrats did that, not Trump.

Are Schiff and Warren scared that CBS has been red pilled?

Exactly. The Democrats stopped existing in the 90's. Bill Clinton's telecommunications act allowed major media & multi-media outlets to buy up all of the small ones essentially restricting free enterprise. They went full corporate (weird, that's what conservatives were supposed to be). Then, he good ole' racist Joe, write/pass the crime bill that puts all those black guys in prison for smoking pot. Weren't they all a bunch of pot smoking hippies in the 60's and 70's passing these laws? Nah, Democrats need to STFU with their bs trigger words. They just show their incompetence and willingness to believe the crap shoveled to them by their masters in the MSM that Bill Clinton designed.

Voting ages should be increased, not decreased.

It's on the ESPN Channel.

If he's guilty, prosecute... same with all of those corrupt dbags. If he's not guilty of that (he's probably guilty of something else), then you don't prosecute. It's not that hard. Media on both sides will make it political though.

Here's my guess... the position they were initially in, were positions that they were put in because of circumstances. It probably wasn't the best case scenario for them, but it was the best case scenario for the team at the time. I say that because I see it in baseball. My nephew plays travel and HS baseball. His travel team is actually made up of about 50% of his high school team. There are kids playing 2B, SS, and 3B for HS, but on the travel team, they're outfielder's. It's because they're better suited for the OF, but because of the make up of the high school team, they play in the infield. The issue is that the kids who play the outfield in high school are not good infielders at all, but good in the outfield. The kids who play the infield are good at it, but are way better outfielders. So, the high school team is better off being "good" in the outfield and "good" in the infield than they are being "great" in the outfield and "bad" in the infield. Since the travel team has good infielders, the kids who play the infield in HS are able to be at their best in the outfield.

You will find that many Eagles fans (probably Chiefs fans as well), will justifiably criticize Andy Reid for this as well. As well as in-games decision making. In the Super Bowl loses to the Bucs and Eagles, Andy Reid was out coached in the first quarter and NEVER adjusted and it's a reason they lost. Here's the thing, they lost both in blowouts because of the same reason. Tampa got pressure on Mahomes with just their down linemen. No one was able to get open down field, so no matter who Mahomes could throw to, that person was double teamed. Instead of keeping Kelce in to block and/or adding an extra blocking TE, the Chiefs kept letting Mahomes run for 400 yards behind the line and throwing incomplete passes. The result, a blowout. The Eagles did the exact same thing... got pressure with their down linemen and no one was open. Reid did the same thing... nothing to stop it. The result, another blowout. Andy Reid has been to what, 6 Super Bowls, won 3? Been to 12 conference championship games... won 6? He's not good at clock management either, like Quinn and he's not good at making in-game adjustments.

We know the Trump trial in NY was a sham the second the judge never sentenced him. We know this because, if there was a sentence, Trump appeals to a higher court and will be found not guilty. The trial was 100% election interference.

That team won the championship last year.

Our league doesn't veto trades, no one is trying to rip anyone off, plus just because some has an opinion about a player it doesn't mean they're right. The NFL and the future, are finicky things. My thinking on this is that I can't (and am not), keeping Mayfield. I don't think that Taylor + his cost is enough to get McCaffrey, so my theory was to include Mayfield since it upgrades him at the QB position. Both RB's carry an injury risk, so I figured we'd exchange injury risk RB's, but the cost for me is to throw in another player because his guy has more upside and is cheaper. Every player who's drafted after R10, their draft value increases 3 rounds... so R11 this year will be R8 next year. For players drafted in the first 10 round, they increase by 2, so R10 player will be R8 next year. Draft rounds for the 3 involved are Mayfield - 9, Taylor & McCaffrey - 1

Thanks, my bad. Could've swore it was the 3rd. lol

I think it's funny that a person ( @peenie), who claims they've experienced racism throughout her life growing up (note: it was in the darkest blue part of NJ where she literally may never have ever actually come in contract with a Republican [Newark, NJ - Essex County] - which neighbors the 2nd & 3rd most liberal counties [Bergen & Hudson], in the state), then moved to the darkest blue state in the union (CA), left there to go to a red state (GA), and loves it... still votes and supports Democrats. Also, lived under politicians who lied to her on a daily basis and has the nerve to call out someone whom she thinks is lying, that happens to be a Republican.

Same thing happened to Geno Smith, at least he went in the 3rd, not the 5th.
