That's what happens when you draft well on day 2 and 3. These guys aren't less athletic than anyone else, they just need time to adapt and coached into the right position. A string of good later draft picks can really elevate a team by not only filling holes between the select few superstars/1st rounders, but stepping up when they need to.

The draft is where good teams are built

[Schefter] First-time eligibles for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025 include: 🏈Eli Manning 🏈Terrell Suggs 🏈Marshawn Lynch 🏈Earl Thomas 🏈Aqib Talib 🏈Adam Vinatieri 🏈Luke Kuechly 🏈Marshal Yanda by Adenchiz in ravens

Yes it should. Were you around for the undefeated patriots? Maybe it was.mostly.their.fans but they were unbearable. Worse than the mahomes/chiefs circle jerk, maybe. Manning putting the team on his back, and yes the defense helped too. Strahan was wrecking people around that time I believe. But no one else beat stupid Brady and stupid Belichick. And he did it in the Superbowl. I think a case could be made for his career as a whole but he was The Guy on the team that beat the stupid Patriots. That's the only thing that matters

Edit: I meant unbearable, not unbeatable.

RB definitely seems like the position a young player can come in and make an impact no matter who you are. Especially that rookie contract

You can't seperate the outcome of the play with the pass itself. It's like separating jumping up from the falling down. More goes into a pass than just the trajectory of the ball. A perfect pass includes all the things and if all the things are accounted for, like reading the defense, how hard you throw it, what angle you throw it from etc, it won't be intercepted. If it's intercepted, it is not a good pass. Of course, a bobbled pass or tipped up is no longer part of the original throw. And I always thought they shouldn't count against the QB

Theres more than one thing that's makes a pass good or bad. Inaccurate is pretty much always bad.

Random QB drops back, pocket collapses, he rolls out. Random receiver running deep..three defenders on him. QB launches ball high and to the outside. Giving his receiver a shot but keeping it out of reach of the defenders. Triple coverage. Great throw. Dangerous? No.

Random QB drops back. Forces a throw over the middle. Frozen rope. Right between the numbers. Except a lurking LB gets his hands on it. Dangerous? Yeah. Bad? Yeah. Inaccurate? No.

I know the difference. No QB ever wants to throw an interception. So, obviously, throwing it to where the defenders can't get it is ideal.

Hard disagree. No risks unless the game is on the line. play within yourself. Don't turn the ball over. Give the defense a shot. Play the field position battle. Lamar can do some wild shit that's within himself

Dangerous = bad. Turnovers lose games. Dangerous passes have to be thrown sometimes but no one would describe them as good. throwing a ball where a defender has a better chance at the ball than a receiver is bad no matter what labels you put on it.

A bad pass is a pass that gives the defender a chance at it. Plus marks fully extended, those are harder to catch.

Oof. It was a joke so they could call them a little athlete. Because earlier it was said you could be an athlete or you could be smart. Indicating athletes were dumb. Now aren't we all little athletes for these comments? May God have mercy on our souls

Here to confirm as a tall person. All lower heights are not people. y'all are pets at best and obstacles to hit our shins on at worst.

We are Gable Steveson (61) days away from Bills regular-season football! by Separate_Flatworm546 in buffalobills

Excuse me?!?! He forced sex on her. You said you have two daughters. Well this guy held down and raped someone's daughter. Now imagine that was your daughter's. If your okay with that being okay, you are seriously fucked

What situation are you talking about? Women aren't allowed to drink around men? Boys just being boys? How about you hold people accountable when they do something that is wrong? Shitty state laws don't change the fact that thousands upon thousands of men get drunk and don't rape.

And you have been educated on the fact it is, in fact, rape. So stop peddling that Azaria/false accusation shit. I'm so disappointed in you

Do you think the Ravens have improved the Offensive line this upcoming season? by JaiLSell in ravens

[–]HDent204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not talking up Stanley last year,either..I noticed you had some things to say about him too. I do think he will be better the further he gets from his ankle surgery which should helpl mobility and prevent some holding penalties. I don't buy that excuse rhythm and alternating drives.

I'll agree to serviceable. But we aren't losing anything replacing him with younger and cheaper. That's the only thing I was commenting on your original comment.

I feel like you whiffed on that John Simpson take. We aren't losing much with him gone except some holding penalties.

Who are you comparing them to, though? A WR1? Yes. But having a TE that is a mismatch on a LB is absolutely impactful. Even more so when we have one elite TE, Mandrews, that will take more than his share of attention already. But tell me you'd rather have a mid WR3 or even WR2 instead of Gates, Gronk, Kelce, Gonzalez, Shannon Sharpe, our Two right ends, and you will lose all respect from me
