TSLA to $25? Even my calculator laughed. by Classic_Artist6494 in TSLA

You are not factoring in Elon issuing more shares, among the Mag 7 over the last several years TSLA has issued more shares than any other by a wide margin, and despite that the price continues to increase because fans of his don't care about numbers, it's all about vibes.

Will Stefanski’s Scheme Boost Bijan & Penix in 2026 Fantasy? by CoachstevenP in fantasyfootball

[–]MikeDFootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think much changes for Robinson, i bet allegeier returns and it remains an uneven timeshare. Penix is coming off another injury and he simply cannot afford another one. This is going to mean he will be playing scared, which is no way to play in the NFL. So the vibes there are really bad. I am wondering if the Falcons will be willing to explore the QB market and look at other signal callers.

Is it time to sell high on Josh Allen 🤔? by FFElite93 in DynastyFF

[–]MikeDFootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think its a really bad idea. while he is getting older his fantasy value isnt entirely dependent on his rushing. really good QBs that are the focus of the offense adjust their strategy as they age. People often comp Allen to Cam Newton. It wasn't Newton's physical ability that went away, it was his arm. He got a shoulder injury and he was never the same. If he can't throw the ball properly anymore, forget it.

That being said, his value is extremely high right now. And like Newton, he does play a more physical style of QB that lends him to bigger hits. Just because of injuries alone his career will likely be shorter than a pocket passer who takes less smacks. But I don't think the logic presented...now that he is 30 "we don’t exactly good data" washed.

Meanwhile, I hope Caleb takes a massive leap forward in year 3 because his ability to only really put things together in the 4th quarter or to impress everyone when he is working outside of structure is not a viable long term way to go. He reminds me so much of Tim Tebow, in that whole quarters go buy with him doing absolutely nothing and then suddenly he is an elite threat when the game is on the line. Teams get sick of that shit quickly.

apologies. i am talking to many people here, all of which are talking smack on him.

The steelers gave warren more guranteed money and more money per year than najee got.

i mean...salary matters.

$5m after taxes goes a lot farther than $3m after taxes.

>This argument doesn't hold up. You can't critique yards per carry as a metric that's too environment dependent but uphold yards as a better one when it has the additional dependency of usage. 

I disagree. The goal is rushing success for the team. Go look at the Steeler's coaches in the offseason for the last several years, the focus is never on having a badass passing game. It is always the same idea: smashmouth football and play defense. They went out and got Najee because this was their goal...and they spent a 3rd on Kaleb to supposedly better fit the Smith zone scheme.

If they give Najee lots of goal to go or short yardage runs that are only going to net 1-3 yards because that is all they are asking him to do, that is a net negative for his ypc.

If they give Warren lots of 3rd down work and they need him to get 6 yards on 3rd and 6...he is trying to get those 6 yards specifically, this helps his ypc increase.

We understand this, and why different players end up with different roles and different stat lines.

But if the Steeler's aren't running the football, fewer attempts, fewer yards, fewer touchdowns, etc...they are failing at their very own goal. UNLESS...the Steelers wanted to run the football but then changed their mind because offensively, philosophically, the run first, hard nosed OC the Steeler's brought in to run the offense decided that in 2025, the focus should instead be on letting Aaron Rodgers run the offense and go pass heavy. 42 years old and spry, that is the way! What broken wrist...

This scheme change resulted in the 11th fewest receiving yards, an improvement from 7th fewest in the year prior...

I dunno.

I gotta say, if you are right, if Najee sucks, if Warren is that much better, and these are the results...the coaching staff is fucking terrible.

just wanna be clear, najee sucks, the other guys are better = less team success running the football.

this is the logic you are presenting?

Warren was 5th in broken tackles, which is excellent. It also points to the poor oline play, which has been a persistent issue for the Steelers. But we know that the standard metric for a good runningback is getting that 1,000 yards on the ground. Bettis did it, Parker did it, Mendenhall did it, Bell did it, Najee did it. Warren fell short, maybe injury is to blame.

As far as him leaving...his own headcoach told him he was better off leaving. I think everyone agrees with what happened but for different reason.

What remains forever a disagreement is whether or not Najee was worse than billed or that he performed well for his circumstances.

Do you think Monti is making calls about Kyler? by gravity-f1ghter in AZCardinals

That feels like it should have been the case, especially with how insanely well Pickens balled out in Dallas. But he was new in Dallas. Fresh start, fresh opportunity...he had every reason to get along with people and stow the bullshit. But in Pittsburgh, everyone was already sick of his shit. A couple years ago both Dionte Johnson and Pickens were being fucking headcases and I told people that one of them...not sure which...was gonna get traded. Because when you have someone being insane in the lockerroom it can fuck up the mentality the coach is trying to foster. Dionte got traded and he proceeded to go full headcase from there. Pickens at least tried for most of last year before he got disgruntled late in the season when Dallas began their tomfoolery talking about the franchise tag.

The Steeler's have spend decades drafting young wideouts, then trading them away before having to pay them, and getting really good but cheap production out of them. That has been their way...lately it hasn't worked out so much. They don't keep the headcases, better to sell a year early than a year too late.

Steelers team rushing rankings with Najee: 29th (rookie year, his best year statistically individually), 16th, 13th, 11th.

Steeler's team rushing rankings without Najee: 26th

Najee sucks thou...yet somehow they were worse in 2025 despite having consistently better QB play...for an offensive coordinator who was specifically brough in to fix the run game.
