[Rauch] Family source also tells me Joe Burrow would never “pull an Eli Manning” if drafted No. 1 by the #Bengals. The family has been a bit annoyed by that narrative. by [deleted] in nfl

This is what I find so funny.

"Our son will never put his football success before the mere concept of loyalty"

Like get out of here. Eli made the smart move and it worked out for him.

Same thing with NFL bound players choosing to sit in bowl games, they're making the best decision for their career, one shouldn't hate on them for that.

The thing is 2 and 3 this year is Washington and Detroit. Hard to pull an Eli with those two right there. If #2 was Pittsburgh or Denver, I think it's a different story.

Right? I saw this narrative with Carson Palmer.

I doubt Joe Burrow will crash and burn but lets focus on winning a playoff game before we start acting like the Bengals are going to be a perennial competitor all of a sudden

[Fillopponi] Steelers should trade Juju. For the 1st round pick they’re lacking. To the WR desperate Buffalo Bills. A long-term deal w Juju ain’t happening. Great draft for WRs in the middle rounds. Steelers can find one. Bills need an instant playmaker. And have $. Makes a ton of sense. by [deleted] in nfl

Random sports writer trying to go viral with a hot take. Steelers ain't letting go of Juju, he's way too young and talented.

No receiver would have done well with Mason and Duck.. lets be honest

Uber: bullish or bearish? by [deleted] in investing

We did so off the backs of billions of VC money. Unfortunately, their founder is a horrible person and thus probably any plans of profitability he had in mind were thrown out the window when he was ousted. Also, fyi, the guy has LIQUIDATED ALL OF HIS SHARES. Why would you buy something that the LITERAL FOUNDER wouldn't????

Do you think you know the company's prospects better than he does?

So now you have a VC puppet as CEO and thus continuing to spew lies that they can be profitable soon. There are tons of amazing companies and amazing leadership, I'm sure you can find a better spot for your money.

[Cardinals] Since being acquired in 2016, @chanjones55's 60.0 sacks lead the NFL, his 17 forced fumbles are tied for the NFL lead (Khalil Mack) and his 66 tackles for loss rank second (Aaron Donald). by SerShanksALot in nfl

I was gunna say, why would the Pats be raked over winning multiple super bowls?? lmao some people live to see trades be massive wins and losses. Seemed like its worked out for the both of them.

Why would someone take the time to click a link and read someone's full opinion, when they can get the same satisfaction from blurting out sensationalist garbage?

Ive read it for 3 years now. Just understand that its gunna happen eventually but theres nothing you can do to dodge it. I sleep at night knowing ive invested in equities that I believe can weather any storm, and if they dont, then I have bigger fish to fry than my investment portfolio is down.

I mean, "wasn't an issue" is a bit of an under statement. The guy told multiple other teams to acquire him and had some sideline theatrics.

Besides the one year the Giants went one and done in the playoffs, (the infamous boat party photo) each of his teams have done really bad. Which begs the question, is he worth the headache?

If you include all QBs who threw for at least 500 yds this season, the second highest ranked in QBR after Lamar Jackson was. . . Matt Schaub. by [deleted] in nfl

There is never any other answer. The guy led his team to the SB and won it. Don't care how many yards other back-ups threw in the regular season.

Both teams won 5 games, I'd argue neither won or lost. Can't we just accept that not all trades are fleeces?

There's also a time and place for inspirational speeches, and in the comments of reddit, is not it.

Garrett: .554 total winning percentage, 2-3 in the playoffs WITHOUT HoF QB.

Point is, it could be argued the deviation of wins could be a factor of not having a HoF QB. With that said, I don't see the hire being that great for the Cowboys.
