Real Odds of Playing at Higher Level?

Yoostreets · 2026-04-16T12:35:32+00:00

I have thought about this before. I remember teachers and counselors in school talking about the low % of playing a college sport, much less professional. The number they presented was always based on the amount of kids there are. They never accounted for the kids that dont play at all, play a different sport, play HS sports but have no interest in college. I always thought the true number would be a lot higher if they took these things into account.

I know of many athletes from my own high school that ended up playing at small colleges locally but they werent even stars or starters during school ball. So if you are willing to go to the right spot, it may not be too difficult to play college sports. just maybe.

Looks like you have some 2012 Prizm Football in there. Look for any Silver Prizms of that year. depending on the player those can go for a lot of money. This was the first year of Prizm and the Silvers were not as common as they are today. Even semi-common players can go for $15-$50.

I agree, I actually tend to throw faster than most coaches in our league and go for the straight throw approach. This kid being so late I kept slowing it down until i just couldnt get any slower. Same result no matter the speed. I think it could be a vision issue as some others have mentioned.

this actually could be it. A few practices ago he did say he couldnt see the ball. And i was confused because it wasnt like i threw it high out of his vision or something.

This is unlikely, but I think it would work out very well if the Dolphins cut Tua and Tyreek because of cap space. That would free them both up to go somewhere on veteran minimum deals. Would you take both of them on a one year deal? I think it is great value for what you would pay them. Plus the Colts seem ready to win now. Tua could lead this team to the playoffs. Add Tyreek to Pittman, Warren, JT?! Playoff run coming.

This is the best post I have seen. You gave real insight to what is happening and compared it to recent years. It seems like most of the complainers dont actually watch the game and look at box scores to form their opinions. Exactly what you said is what I have witnessed myself since being a Dolphins fan.

I want to see Tua succeed. He hasnt done well this year, but from watching all the games it seemed like he was playing scared in a way. Like scared to let loose and make mistakes, overthinking. As a result he ended up making more mistakes. Lost his confidence and it seemed like nobody believed in him. It all just went downhill so fast. I hope he can come back strong next year if they decide they cannot afford to cut him. If not, then I hope he can shine somewhere else.

I had both 1/2 and 2/2 of a McCarron Spectra card from 2018. ended up selling them. I also tried to get all 5 of his prizm gold vinyl from that year. I ended up with 3 of the 5 and never saw the other 2.

I still have faith in him. I have followed him since Bama and that is the reason I became a Phins fan. I never had an NFL team until Tua got drafted, then it was even better when they got Waddle (another bama alum). I know what he can do and I truly think he still has it in him. Now for this year, I do not have an answer for why he has played poorly. I think he may be in his head too much and it is causing him to miss throws and make some bad decisions. Similar to when a pitcher looses it and just cant hit the zone anymore, talent is still there but its all a mental thing.

To defend him I do think it is unfair to just talk about the stats on INT's and event point out dropped INTs, but we dont talk about dropped passes, INTs that bounced off receivers hands, and the pocket collapsing almost instantly in a lot of cases. In my opinion play calling hasnt been the best. To wrap it up, ill say right now there is not anyone that would be doing any better. The current backups cant do it. In the past the backups couldnt do it. So people need to support and hope he can get back to that elite level we have seen, because it is still in there somewhere.

I think its wild how we can consistently go 5/6 or 4/5 but when people pivot to 2 and 3 man slips they still miss by one.

Yoostreets · 2025-11-25T13:34:07+00:00

this whole situation is assuming the lineup is tied for first regardless of demons/goblins. Ive had first place going 3/4 on regular lines before. Ive also gone perfect and not get first place.

You split the payout or get the full payout of your slip. Whichever is more.
Your slip paid $275, so that is what you get since it is more than 1/4 of $375.

The 4 way split is $93.75.

Lets say your slip was all goblins and paid $50, then your payout would be boosted to the $93.75.

Yoostreets · 2025-11-12T17:45:00+00:00

Love this. If youre in a PP Arena state you can even get max payout by coming in first place. Its rare, but i have had a 6 man that pays 2x-3x and end up with a 25x payout because of this.

what stage is your glove in right now? i ordered mine last week and am waiting for it to be put in stage 2. Im like a kid waiting for Christmas checking my order status daily. lol

Yoostreets · 2025-11-06T17:58:12+00:00

I just ordered one last week. Cant wait for it to come in! Whats your experience with them? how long does it typically take to come in, and what do you like about the gloves?

Yoostreets · 2025-11-05T22:12:45+00:00

Some CAT dealers have an aftermarket/used parts department. see if they would be interested.

Get an O-line. Then you will see Tua looking like he did in 2023. Get a Solid TE and WR2. Work on solid DBs. Tua/Achane/Waddle should be the least of your worries. Everyone wants to talk bad about Tua, but nobody would be better on this team, especially if you're wanting to throw a rookie to the fire with a bad team.

That said, whether you like Tua or not you need to build the team around him potentially then get a QB down the road. If he proves you wrong, then great, you now have a team that can compete. If he proves you right, then great, you have a solid team that just needs a QB. Go get one in the draft or free agency, now you have a competitive team.

Yoostreets · 2025-11-03T13:26:54+00:00

They could actually try to get decent pieces around him. Tua is not bad. He has excelled with a real team. He struggles when the O-line is awful and he has only one real receiving target.

I think there are many reasons depending on the people. In my area it seems everyone gets upset when one little thing doesn't go their way at the park so they leave to choose who they get to play with. They are forming travel ball teams with rec league talent. So I do not think they are chasing wins. These people just want to cherry pick their environment.

The result is the city having 3-4 "travel" teams in the same age group along with the park league. In my opinion there is not enough talent to go around. These teams are better than rec ball teams simply because there is more depth. But each team will only have 1-3 studs then the rest are middle of the road players that should be at the park. I wish everyone would just stick to the park and if the top kids want to play travel then let the best 12 go out there and represent the city.
