I'd like to see it removed as well. At the end of the day, do I really care very much? probably not.... but for arguments sake, if a ball carrier gains 3 yards and is then pushed BACK by the defense, they don't lose the ground they gained. Forward progress is called. Why should a ball carrier be allowed to be pushed FORWARD by teammates from behind? As soon as pushing begins, the play should be blown dead for progress.

Maybe not. My entire post was about the Jets though

I don’t want them to trade for Stafford (unless it’s somehow cheap) but I would view it as similar to having kept Rodgers or signing a Cousins or Carr if and after they are cut. Again these are guys you want for 2 years MAX while a rookie sits and learns ala Jordan Love The bonus is that a few of these guys can actually make the Jets playoff contenders and more with the amount of talent on this roster. When you have Wilson and Hall on offense and a line that recently invested in Fashanu, Tippman, still has AVT. Maybe they draft Tet as well. If they can retain DJ Reed, they will have the Williams Bros, Sauce, Jermaine Johnson back and Will McDonald looked good last year. Etc.

I love Emeka and he is not underrated. I’ve rarely seen him fall out of round 1 mocks anymore

RBs shouldn’t normally go very high so this just seems like people projecting a Jerry pick

Are you calling Mason Graham boring? I think he’s going to be a stud. Flashy picks to the Raiders doesn’t prove whatever point you’re trying to make. Raiders have a long history of going with the fastest or most intriguing athlete so this is less about being cool and more that the Al Davis MO has stuck. Hunter Jeanty and Sanders feel like classic Raider picks

With the way we drive when sober (like a-holes) and drunk (intoxicated a-holes), I wouldnt trust a magnetic mount

I don’t. My golf buddies all use some desert fox one that straps to the side of a cart Desert Fox Phone Caddy you can get plain black or other solid colors for a few bucks cheaper probably.

I threw $5 on LA when they were down 4-0. I thought they were on hole 11 but they were about to start 12. They won 12, won 13 with a hammer, won 14, tied 15 and won the overtime. I feel like the +odds should have been greater but I’ll take the $70 win

Last year we started picks on 2/24 and we had 29 days in Feb. We began the supplemental on 3/7 and finished on 3/12 18 day process. We should probably have a hard start of Wednesday 2/26 to ensure some breathing room with the March 18th game

Once Burt rolls, I will get started producing the draft threads so people can back log their exclusives and we can set a start date for the draft. I suppose once the round 1/2 thread is created people can make picks if they wish but we usually have a starting date so no one feels obligated to pick before hand and to lessen injury risk just a tad.

I pretty much disagree with all of this. Mock drafts are just for fun and often mostly wrong but biased toward “cool” teams? When did the Bears become cool? it’s not unrealistic that many mocks had Brock Bowers to the Raiders last year. It’s was a very “Raiders” pick. Not because they are seen as “cool”. i think the most bias you will see is if a mock is done by a teams fan site or beat writer. I have seen some of those where it’s clear they are making a player fall

Does he need to be fast? Lots of receivers were faster than Mike Evans when he came into the league. I bet Tets 40 time winds up being similar. Can Tet put on 10 pounds? I would comp him more to Drake London though

A big part of the issue was firing Saleh. Like I said earlier, he deserved to be fired but not after week 5 when the team was 2-3. You can get away with that if you’re making someone like Greg Williams, for example, the interim HC because he has HC experience. Ulbrich was not. He was in over his head when he should have been completely focused on the D. I do believe if they didn’t do all that, they would have been an 8 win team rather than 5. DJ Reed needs to be franchise tagged and Jermaine Johnson needs to come back healthy and this defense can get back to where it was. A stable coaching staff for a whole season with a smart veteran QB as the bridge will have them competing for the playoffs. Maybe the Saints will move on from Carr? But no matter who it is, they need to draft someone especially if Jordan Travis’ injury is worse than initially thought. Fields wants a chance to be the man somewhere. He’s too young to play a mentor role. He won’t want that and doesn’t have much experience and wisdom to give anyway. Bringing in a guy like that is something you do if you think he might be able to be your franchise guy. I know he played with Wilson and his running threat might open up more space for Hall but in the end I don’t see him as a franchise QB. If he is, Pitt would have already locked him up

I’m fine with Winston as well. Mostly I just think it needs to be a veteran who knows his role is 2 years max because I think the Jets need to draft someone. I would like it to be a veteran who is also capable of winning because the team does have plenty of talent on the roster, so theoretically you can have both a bridge QB and a win now situation. Fields doesn’t strike me as someone who checks either of those boxes.

I just don't see Fields skills being on par with either of the players you mentioned. Easy comparisons but I do think both have better arms. However, my point is not to build with Rodgers or Cousins. My point is to build with someone they draft this year or Jordan Travis who they drafted last year. Either way, you need someone to bridge for at least this season. Throwing a rookie or 2nd year guy with no experience into the fire right away is not going to work

Rodgers is gone. The issue in NY? Woody Johnson. Even if he fired Saleh because that's what Rodgers wanted, he's a terrible owner for doing so. If he did it of his own accord, hes also a terrible owner for doing so. Saleh was not a good coach but the team was 2-3. Firing Saleh and replacing him with Ulbrich as interim HC who was way in over his head was going to make the defense suffer as a result and the offense was never going to get any better until Rodgers shook off the rust. The wins never came but Rodgers looked a lot better in the second half based on the eye test, not just the numbers on paper. The Jets need to draft a QB in round 2, or see if Jordan Travis is anything. They need to let a young guys sit and learn behind a smart veteran. The problem with Fields is he wants to be a starter and get a shot at being a teams franchise guy. I don't think he is getting a team over the hump. Best case scenario, he starts for a season and keeps it entertaining with his legs and a few big throws and then loses the job to someone they draft this April.

FF does not equal real life. Justin Fields is not a franchise QB. At this point in their careers, neither are guys like Rodgers or Cousins. However, Rodgers and Cousins are long time, smart veterans who a new, rookie QB can learn behind. And Rodgers is better than Fields for 1-2 years. If Cousins improves with more time removed from his own injury, he may be better as well for the next 1-2 years.
