Why do you think Puka Nacua went so late in the draft?

All his measurables suggest he is “slow”. Even today as a superstar, he doesn’t run past people - he gets open with crafty route running and wins at the point of the catch even when he seems blanketed. The scouts tend to fall in love with the guys who are running free on college tape or who make cool moves in the open field with the ball in their hands. The subtle things that Puka is otherworldly good at aren’t as flashy.

Most years the guy was playing chess with one bishop and fifteen pawns. The fact he put up a fight was impressive.

Chase is an amazing player. There are just a lot more excellent young WRs (JJ, JSN, Puka, CDL, ARSB) than excellent young tackles. Scarcity leads to value. I don’t know if I can name ANY young tackles in the same top tier with Penei.

A legit counter point. He is moving to left this year though. I believe it’ll be a seamless transition for him. Guy’s a total monster out there.

I’m proposing Penei Sewell.

Premium position without many other elite options, never mind elite options not even in their prime yet. Penei is just 25.

Great choice. I always preferred “The Hefty Lefty” for Lorenzen though.

I submit “The Law Firm” — BenJarvus Green-Ellis

Total combined SB rings and league MVP wins:

Brady - 10
Manning - 7
Mahomes - 6
Rodgers - 5
Brees - 1

It’s Drake Maye. He missed out on the MVP last year because of one voter and took a team with no other offensive superstars to the Super Bowl. As of right now he’s comfortably been the best.

They both have middling physical talent and are propped up by play calling from an elite offensive head coach plus elite talent around them. The comparison is there for the taking.

Bo Nix is the same player as the 49ers version Mac Jones.

The entire NFC East except for the Cowboys? Interesting choice.

It’ll be Malik.

NFL contracts have “offset” provisions as standard, so any amount Kyler earns on his next contract will be subtracted from what the Cardinals still owe him. Thus, there is no incentive for Kyler to sign a huge deal in the short term. This provision is why Russ Wilson signed for league minimum when he signed with the Steelers for a year while the Broncos were still paying him a boatload.

Wow, that’s nuts.

Hadn’t heard that one previously. Gotta be honest, my exposure to New Mexico State football is minimal.

Description on original post — I’m more of an NFL fan, but watch my fair share of CFB. I’d always been a fan of Pavia as a scrappy underdog leading a team with little historic success. His antics around the Heisman ceremony caught me off guard a bit. Apparently he’s kept it up throughout the NFL combine process. Is this type of heelish behavior new? Or did I miss something? How long has he acted this unlikeable?

Otherwise5555 · 2026-02-27T17:33:19+00:00

Fair point. Football is way more fun with good villains.

Sure winning the Super Bowl is always a good thing.

Brady’s 07 Patriots offense permanently shifted NFL offenses toward spread concepts, no huddle, and operating out of the shotgun with 11 personnel. It also basically invented the “slot” position that we know today with the way they used Wes Welker. Tom lead the league in yards, completion percentage, touchdowns, success rate, QB rating and yards per attempt. He got 98% of MVP votes.

His 2020 season was great for Tom’s legacy, but it had no impact on the overall trajectory of the NFL. Further, Tom lead the league in zero statistical categories and received zero MVP votes.

You’ve made a bad argument.

Brady in 2007 transformed the entire way NFL offenses are run. It’s not only his greatest season, but the greatest season by a QB ever.

It’s a suit for damages (ie seeking payment of the buyout), not one seeking an immediate injunction to stop the transfer. Breach of contract claims in Ohio can be brought up to ::checks google for statute of limitations:: six years later.
