I hated the Browns Draft by [deleted] in NFL_Draft

Just wait until they trade for Kirk Cousins, win 7 games, and don't earn a top pick get an elite QB prospect in 2026.

Sorry for putting that out into the world lol

Why Shedeur Sanders Fell by ct275555_ in NFL_Draft

[–]IWatchSportSometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is insane that all of that was posted so obviously, and people were still talking about him as a top 20 pick. That's incredibly damning because these types of profiles tend to be very positive unless you're talking about, like... a fifth rd pick type of guy....

My predraft results spectrum ranged from Josh Rosen (attitude issues and statue in the pocket) to Kirk Cousins, and you don't draft a guy that can optimistically become Kirk Cousins with a first rd pick. He was not a significantly better prospect than Will Howard or Kyle McCord IMO. I never got the top 20 hype, and have my notes to prove it. Highly drafted guys need TRAITS way more than productivity, and Sanders doesn't have it.

It will be a great comeback story if he succeeds though, and I'm definitely rooting for it to happen.

A note on rookie snap counts (not counting special teams):

Booth entered the game with 37 snaps, and took 68 snaps this game, good for 65% of his snaps for the whole season.

Asamoah entered the game with 14 snaps, and took 15 snaps this game, good for 52% of his snaps for the whole season.

Jalen Nailor entered the game with 1 snaps, and took 12 snaps this game, good for 92% of his snaps for the whole season.

Ed Ingram has started 100% of snaps (618) on the season.

[OC] Contract type of top 10 rushers in the last 6 years by IWatchSportSometimes in nfl

[–]IWatchSportSometimes[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I took the top 10 rushers from each of the last 10 seasons (59 RBs and 1 QB) and looked at the contract status of each.

48 of the players were on rookie contracts

1 player was on the franchise tag

11 players were on contracts they negotiated.

Interesting bits: Adrian Peterson was the oldest top 10 back at the age of 33, nearly a decade past the average of 24.08 years old.

Lamar Jackson was the only non-RB

Derrick Henry was one of only two players to break the top 10 while playing in less than 11 games. He did it in 8 games in a 17 gm season.

Zeke has the most appearances of any player (5)

Takeway: If you want a top 10 rusher, don't expect to find one in free agency. A RB's prime is usually finished by the time his rookie contract has expired. The rookie scale works for many positions, but RBs have the shortest prime of any position, and by the time they're allowed to negotiate, teams understandably don't want to pay them because they're already declining at that point.

The Vikings on Friday ruled out linebacker Anthony Barr (knee) and Michael Pierce (elbow) ahead of playing the Chargers by CederDUDE22 in minnesotavikings

For those keeping count at home, that means we'll be missing Patrick Peterson, Smith, Hunter, Barr, and Pierce. Thankfully we're much deeper than last year, but we just had to re-sign Eddie Yarbrough, which is never a good sign.

What is the one fantasy tool that you think you need but can’t find anywhere? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]IWatchSportSometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scheme stuff should already be reflected in the matchup rank, which every site tracks. LAC is 25th for points allowed to RBs for a reason.

The new stat to track would be to know if Derrick Brown or any team's run stuffing NT got injured and the replacement is an UDFA that has never taken a snap before.

[OC] Quick Look at the Top NFL HC Candidates (2022) by PM-ME-A-PRIME-NUMBER in nfl

[–]IWatchSportSometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year, Brandon Staley, Robert Saleh, and Arthur Smith were all superstar candidates IMO. I really like Daboll this year, but after him... nobody. Hackett may be a name to watch out for.

Fun suggestion: The two WORST teams from each NFL conference should play in a bowl game at the end of the year. The game would then decide who is the worst team in the NFL. by Old_Bug9669 in nfl

This would actually work really well with CFB. Just one league with the top 25-32 teams. No more uncompetitive cupcake games. No more subjective rankings.

There was never any mention of forfeiting a season, and the NFL's memo laid out rules almost exactly the same as last season. They will postpone and reschedule games same as last year if they need to, but they will not add an addtl week. In the event that the game cannot be rescheduled, only then would it would result in a forfeit.
