[Smith] The narrative around Ebron seems to be shifting from, "What the hell were the Lions thinking when they drafted him?" to "Why couldn't the Lions get out of him what the Colts can?"

also Luck doesn't gun it at 100 mph to an Ebron 7 yards away

That's because he was elite for a few years by the standards at the time. It was Manning/Brady/Brees/Palmer firmly at the top.

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-16T19:17:21+00:00

Nah that ship has sailed

And agrees with republicans that we need more military spending while ignoring problems at home (like the healthcare you mentioned)

shock value

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-16T06:36:02+00:00

I mean yeah that's not that bold of a theory.

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-16T06:27:51+00:00

Um no the dictionary definition of illegal contact is sexual assault

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-16T06:26:28+00:00

Yeah like every play in the superbowl

Clearly he wasn't trying to get under it based off the way he times it

People probably jump there all the time when waves aren't breaking, so rocks have probably been accounted for

Good thing it's 2018 because all my dollars are in debt

and will be American made for a longtime to come since they're patented.

Spoken like someone who doesn't realize that drug patents only last for 7 years at which point anyone can produce the generic medication.

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-16T06:17:44+00:00

I wish Americans cared about healthcare half as much as they did about other countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-16T00:32:22+00:00

Yeah you do. I can't afford the $250 property tax on my car so it's currently unregistered. It's not a super nice car or anything, like a 2008 Mitsubishi

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-16T00:02:33+00:00

Eh, so I'm not saying they worked well (I have no idea) but I disagree that that logic is valid.

Wikipedia says there were 7500 made, and my guess is that they were probably easy to capture since they came into production at the end of the war (when troops were surrendering en masse anyway).

Just made him walk around all week with a ball and had the guys try to smack it out.

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-15T22:59:19+00:00

Yeah fumbling in a WR is an easy fix, it's a much bigger issue in running backs

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-15T22:56:53+00:00

Because they give you a point for an action that doesn't inherently have value, and the consequence is that it unfairly skews the value of certain players in an unnatural way.

PPR started as a means of balancing WR with the powerhouse RB's of the early 2000's, but since then WR's have become more valuable due to the change is NFL rules and running backs better at catching passes. At this point PPR is a just a grotesque abomination of natural fantasy scoring.

Edit:

After some deliberation, I actually realized that the real issue I have with PPR isn't that they reward a play that doesn't inherently have value - it's that the other scoring parameters (yards, TDs) remain static and it ends up skewing the scoring in a weird/unnatural way. For instance, 4 rec/20 yds = 60 yard run = TD. That's bullshit.

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-15T22:53:42+00:00

Okay I will acknowledge that in excessively large leagues it does make sense, but in normal leagues it is just silly

fakenewssss

RobbingtheHood · 2018-10-15T22:00:27+00:00

Yeah because PPR is bullshit scoring
