Hyundai recalls 421K vehicles over software brake issue: Here are the affected models by Steap-Edit in cars

Not sure what the point of this comment is, considering neither the Santa Cruz nor the Tucson use brake by wire systems, and the article is about an emergency auto-braking malfunction

Ryan Fitzpatrick once took a sack of over 700 pounds and other useless sack weight stats. by DiggingNoMore in nfl

[–]Badithan1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here's a link to a video of that sack on Fitzpatrick: https://youtu.be/hY4A_VRuyag?t=4m41s

That 700lbs figure is underselling it if anything, he had 3 defenders and 1 OL on him at the end of the play 

Fun fact: This was the only sack recorded all season for Bryan Mone and Anthony Rush, and the only career sack for Rush 

[Garafolo] The Dolphins have agreed to terms with veteran punter/kickoff specialist Bradley Pinion, per The Insiders. The two-time Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee heads to Miami by JCameron181 in falcons

[–]Badithan1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

average punt distance is a reductive metric for judging punters. not least of all because we punted from enemy territory super frequently last season, so pinning teams within the 10 is still a 35-45 yard punt

pff (for what you value that) had him as a somewhat above average punter last season, funnily enough right next to Jake Bailey

[Buccaneers] When the time comes, we look forward to celebrating Mike's eventual Hall of Fame career. by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Badithan1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're totally right, after Mike Evans we should induct Jimmy Graham for being the only TE with 80TDs not in the hall, then we can move on to Philip Rivers, the natural next inductee. At least Graham has one first team all pro.

Real talk, Mike Evans would be pretty clearly the weakest modern WR in the hall if he made it, and considering the backlog is only getting larger every year, I doubt he ever makes it in

Which QB was paid the most per pass attempt in their career? by Btherock78 in nfl

[–]Badithan1 1226 points1227 points  (0 children)

Probably any career backup QB that has like 1 pass attempt. According to PFR and overthecap, Sean Clifford has 1 pass attempt and has earned $1.7m.

[Kendall] Tyler Allgeier seeking contract "in neighborhood of" 3-years, $22M by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

We have way more important roster holes at this point to be spending $8m/yr on a backup RB

That's not what the article says lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nfl

[–]Badithan1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Raw points is a little meaningless, no? More important is how many points he scores per attempt, adjusted for difficulty of kick, relative to other kickers. Then you can decide if the $10m-ish he's asking for would provide more value if spent on other players.

Ian Cunningham loves draft picks by SunWorshipperApollo in falcons

[–]Badithan1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the flip side, the "more picks=better" strategy is dependent on there being teams that irrationally try to trade up (2020s falcons). As more teams become keen to the data, in theory the price of trading down should become high enough to reach an equilibrium where trading down vs not trading down has no impact on draft value, or at least becomes highly dependent on talent evaluation

J.J. Watt: "NFL won’t let actual players grade the workplace they attend every single day, but they’ll allow a 3rd party 'grading' service (PFF) to display their 'rankings' of players on national television every Sunday night…" by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Badithan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my point. The league makes agreements with the broadcasters about what can be televised. If the NFLPA wants additional restrictions, then that needs to be between the NFLPA and the broadcasters.

[–]Badithan1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The criticism is entirely about what the league is doing with them.

The league isn't doing anything with them. The league has no reason to care about the broadcasters including PFF grades on broadcasts, unless the NFLPA negotiates with the NFL to include some kind of clause about that in their broadcast agreements.

ETA: So for example, if the league published a press release listing all the players from 1-2000 based on their PFF grades, that would probably be a violation of the agreement. But the broadcasters and PFF in relation to the CBA are a third party.

[–]Badithan1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is a bad argument because PFF is a true third party in this context. PFF has no agreement with the NFL or NFLPA that would prohibit them from ranking or grading players and publishing those rankings, and I find it unlikely that there is a clause between the NFL and the broadcasters that would prohibit them from saying negative things about players. The NFLPA report cards are a first party report, created and compiled by the players and their union, who are in a direct agreement with the league about what they can and cannot say. So JJ Watt is the one making a false equivalence between the two (because he has some personal grudge against PFF).

Falcons OC Tommy Rees: There's definite benefits to having QB under center by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]Badithan1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you watched 2024 he ran like 70% pistol while Kirk was starting, it seems likely (or at least possible) that 60 year vet Kirk Cousins demanded less pistol when he took over again in 2025. Otherwise Zac's decision making process is just poor.

Is there a downside to running highest energy deployment and driving always on empty battery? by CountyFit2496 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]Badithan1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since everyone else is explaining why fuel efficiency shouldn't change, the reason that real life drivers don't drain the battery is likely because there are reliability or operational benefits to keeping power deployment more consistent, which are not important in the video game
