Hey maybe it means Brady is retiring within a year or so. :toot:

You mean traded to some shithole for some draft picks. Hey, it could be the Jets!

it's easier to down a punt inside the 10 than a kickoff because punts can go out of bounds, and a touchback on a kickoff puts your opponent at the 25

How meaningful is the extra 15-20 yards, statistically?

edit: from the chart you posted before I'd say that the chance of either a field goal or a touchdown goes up by about 5% (~20% to ~25%) which seems like it has a much lower expected point value than three points.

I'm not going to rehash this. Just refer to my post which shows the actual probability of a win is higher for downing your opponent at the 5 than kicking the FG and getting a touchback, albeit with caveats on both sides. There's literally two pages of discussion on this.

e: you aren't considering that a FG from your opponent doesn't win the game for them, but rather gives them a 50/50 chance of winning in OT. If they score a TD, you're hosed unless they miss the XP, which is much rarer.

I did, that is the exact chart I'm looking at. It doesn't say "the actual probability of a win is higher for downing your opponent at the 5 than kicking the FG and getting a touchback". That's still relying on your assumptions about how coaches coach, which is a reasonable argument but you didn't post anything to support it. What I'm saying is that, looking at that chart, the field position bit doesn't seem all that relevant.

I like how you guys are calling Glennon a journeyman QB when he's only ever been on one team. He also hasn't been completely awful, but he hasn't blown the doors off either. McCown started over him because he was coming off of that mystical season in Chicago where he was somehow good and Lovie brought him in.

I'm not saying that I believe that he's worth what's being reported, but I also don't think he's as bad as you guys are making him out to be.

He's a backup. Not a backup to a HOF like Brady, Manning, or Rodgers where there's a case to be made that maybe they have upside, they're just never going to beat out the HOF while they're still playing (or in the case of Manning, somewhat playing). A backup that the Bucs looked at, gave some playing time to because they hated their old QB, and as a result thought "nah" and started a journeyman QB, then when he sucked drafted a new QB. "Journeyman" is being generous for the talent he's displayed.

it's amazing that the alcoholic fired from two previous jobs for drinking who doesn't quit drinking comes across as the intelligent hard-working guy there

My first hangover was when I was 16. Its not that hard.

When I was young what I thought a hangover was was that feeling where i was tired cause I was up all night drinking and my stomach felt sort of queasy because I needed food.

I was wrong. So, so wrong.

I think the victim's story kinda fell apart once the video came out, so I'm not too surprised.

Other then that it all went radio silent, so who knows what happened, Revis could've even just paid them off.

It appears the reason the charges were dropped was his friend said he did the punching/speaking on the tape: http://deadspin.com/judge-dismisses-all-charges-against-darrelle-revis-in-s-1793310833

Might just be his designated fall guy but it's not the victims getting the payoff here.

God Bless America if Johnny Football gets a job before Kaepernick.

You can probably pay Johnny Football the vet minimum with a contract designed to give him nothing if he fails drinking tests or the like, while Kaepernick will cost millions. Manziel will probably fail, but the risk/reward is a lot better for a team that doesn't need a QB right now because he will basically be free and in the off chance he works out, that's very valuble.

I didn't think he was a bad blocker. I thought they subbed him to save him. I never saw him pulling a Legarrette Blount style gently caress up in pass pro.

We call that a Devonta Freeman nowadays.
