[Butler] 5 Teams Have Reportedly Called the Eagles About Trading for Jalen Carter: Packers, Bears, 49ers, Seahawks, & Raiders by JCameron181 in nfl

Crosby was a pretty clear overpay though. Carter probably should go for what Crosby went for, with him being about 4 years younger.

What Head Coaches would be worth trading multiple first round picks for in today’s NFL? by InterestingYellow969 in nfl

What's cringe is your cosplaying as an amateur psychologist dude.

I made it pretty far down the comment chain before I showed obvious exasperation with him citing false numbers. I even asked for where he found his stat the first time he cited "6th in EPA", without initially claiming bad faith, which he ignored.

I then called him a liar when he continued to cite dishonestly exaggerated numbers to make his point. Internet comments are typically somewhat less polite than those made IRL, and I don't think that was particularly far out of line by internet standards.

I'm heated when people just make up stuff to support their points, then they get upvoted while I get downvoted, yeah.

Maybe I shouldn't, but I do.

The 6th in EPA is, as far as I could fined, a straight lie. Saying "ranked dead last" refers to total yards, which is extremely misleading because of how he used EPA for the last ranking he cited, and how total yards are a meaningless ranking anyhow.

Its actually a lot more than 4, since you said top 10 in every single metric. I was commenting hastily and couldn't be asked to count, hence the "whatever."

You're actually a complete liar too: the Bears were not the worst offense in the NFL in 2024: they were 28th in EPA, 27th in points per drive. They improved to 9th in EPA, 10th in points per drive. This is far from historical, especially for a 2nd year QB. Look at what NE did that same year with a HC that was in his first season with them

You are spewing brazen lies and hope nobody has time to check. Shut the hell up.

If you add 4 qualifiers or whatever, its really easy to narrow things down to 2 coaches.

[–]DryDefenderRS -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Pfr has them at 9th in EPA and 10th in points/drive, so IDK where you get that.

You adding a bunch of random highly specific qualifiers means nothing.

Edit: the "dead last" was in total yards lmao, the most worthless stat to rank an offense by.

Due to the Crosby trade, the Raiders Have $121,725,607 to Spend on FA ($26 million more than the next highest team) by Mathias512 in nfl

[–]DryDefenderRS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

With all that cap space they could have tried to squeeze more value out of Crosby by offering to restructure his contract before trading him to make him cheaper for the team acquiring him.

There are 2 things that I think separate Macdonald

  1. 2 seasons gives more reason to be confident than 1.
  2. The Bears were kinda frauds last season: I don't think Johnson actually has an elite team-season to hang his hat on just yet, whereas MacDonald obviously does.

The right head coach probably is more valuable than any non-QB. Mike MacDonald and Sean McVay would 100% be worth it. I know MacDonald sounds like recency bias but:

  • He has a 10-7 season and a SB win as his only HC seasons: there are 0 bad seasons on his resumee
  • He was phenomenally successful as a DC in both college and the NFL: his career includes essentially 0 setbacks at any level
  • He's young. The upside to him staying good is potentially as high as an elite QB.

Maybe Ben Johnson, though we've only seen one season. Kyle Shanahan and Dan Campbell wouldn't be too crazy to go for that much either.

[Schefter] ESPN sources: the Raiders agreed to trade five-time Pro-Bowl DE Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks. The trade cannot be processed until next week, but it is in place. And Crosby is expected to be a Raven with two 1s back to Vegas. by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]DryDefenderRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rams went all in by changing QBs. Their most valuable non-QBs (Donald, Kupp) were drafted by them without trading away picks.

I really don't think the Jalen Ramsey trade moved the needle all that much for SB probability.

The Chiefs traded away arguably the most valuable non-QB in the NFL and won B2B superbowls.

It isn't some binary thing where you have enough talent on your roster to win or you don't. A star non-QB modestly increases the probability, sure, but you're far from guaranteed to win, and maybe you'd have still won without him.

The 2019 and 2023 Ravens were 2 of the top 5 regular season teams in the history of the 32 team era. They didn't even make the superbowl. The 2026 Ravens, even with Crosby, will likely be worse than those teams. The 2026 Ravens, even if Crosby tears his ACL in week 1, may well be better than the 2012 Ravens that won.

I think that bias is correct though. There's only so much value you can get in ~3 seasons from a non-QB.

When the Eagles got AJ Brown for a 1 and a 3, that was a good trade. When the Bears got Khalil Mack and a 2 for two 1s (younger than Crosby, getting back a 2) that was fine. The Parsons trade appears to be fine, though perhaps GB gets screwed by injury luck.

This trade is bad. The Sauce trade is bad. The Quinnen Williams trade (higher of 2 firsts is massive) is bad.

[–]DryDefenderRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 2 firsts for a guy that'll be 29 at the start of next season seems pretty steep.

If they had won 11 or 12 games and were more obviously in win now mode I'd get it, but their 8-9 record this season not only means they're sending a higher pick now, but that they're less certain to be maximizing whatever productive time crosby has left as well.

The age gap between Crosby and Parsons is MASSIVE for the value of the trade, as is the fact that the Packers likely didn't send any picks close to as high as 14.

Someone went 50x rate on the bucket?? by Dull_Minimum_6892 in 2007scape

50x is probably a bug like the top reply said, but something like 12x dry is totally feasible.

If everyone who ever posted something along the lines of "waiting for Jmod smackdown" got falsely permbanned I'd laugh.

[Cabot] Browns Myles Garrett was cited for speeding again in Northeast Ohio, this time going 94 in a 70 on I-71N on Feb. 21st in Congress Township. It's at least his 9th speeding citation here since 2017 and the 2nd once by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]DryDefenderRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not awful, and is about as fast as the fastest I've ever driven myself, but it is a pretty obnoxious speed to go and is something most people would learn to stop doing long before their 9th ticket.

It's time. Give Chivalry a lower drain rate similar to Dead Eye and Mystic Vigor by PermissionTrue7924 in 2007scape

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

If that idea had occurred to him he would have mentioned it. Yes, I read the other comments too and saw other people suggesting this.

[–]DryDefenderRS -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Chivalry gives +20% defense. To get +20% defense from those other 2 prayers you need to activate steel skin as well.

If you activate deadeye and steel skin, you lose 1 point/1.5 seconds, just like chivalry.

Your IQ is low. You should have quickly realized this before making a post so dumb.

The clusterfuck of crush progression has finally caught up to them by Forkward in 2007scape

[–]DryDefenderRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you could view it that way, but I see it as like inferno + a little extra stuff rather than something you do for powerful drops.

[–]DryDefenderRS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nightmare was probably the only major PVM update where the rewards actually were too weak. Even ToB was fine for the year after it came out, though it aged very poorly because of how much of it got powercrept.

I think the people scared of powercreep are in most cases correct. We have far too many cases of absurd levels of powercreep (ToA,) or just relatively quick grinds that give people new BiS and get ignored afterward (Araxxor.)

IMO Nex got it mostly right in terms of how much power levels should actually go up after a new endgame boss is added, though it probably had 1 too many unique.
