  1. I have a special feeling about today. Strap in folks. We are in for a special performance from Bryce Young.
  2. Jerry Jeudy is definitely better than DJ Chark. Chark is just tall and fast. I'm not saying he's a bad receiver, but he should be your #2 or #3 WR. Jeudy can really do it all. I do think he's a #1 WR. He out-produced Sutton last year on fewer targets. He's been the most productive Broncos receiver (when healthy) since being drafted. At the very least I'd argue he's as good as Calvin Ridley, who most people would say is a #1 WR. Ridley's 2020 season is better than anything Jeudy has had statistically, true, but even a 35 year old Matt Ryan is way better than any QB Jeudy has had. I AM NOT SAYING I WANT US TO TRADE FOR HIM. However I do think some of you are underrating Jeudy quite a bit. He's not as good as guys like Jefferson/Chase/Adams, but he's in the same ball-park as Ridley/Moore/Aiyuk
  3. Probably thought another team would take him on waivers (ie us).
  4. Marty Hurney Part 3 Incoming
  5. I'll never forget people on this forum saying DJ Moore wasn't a No. 1 WR LMAOOO
  6. You're just guessing then. Every online source estimates him at somewhere around $2.5m. If you want to suggest otherwise, then find a source. Otherwise no, I'm not going to assume he's going to be making more in NIL than he would from his rookie signing bonus. I seriously doubt estimates are so far off that it would have him close to the 26m+ he would get as soon as he signs.
  7. Yeah, I feel comfortable saying USC will definitely not be winning a national championship. There is 0 reason to think Lincoln Riley is either A) capable of fixing the defense or B) has any intentions of fixing the defense. CJ Stroud you could kind of see because Ohio State could absolutely win a natty with him. It ain't happening with USC. I mean maybe I guess but they would have to get lucky.
  8. No it isn't. Caleb Williams is making an estimate of $2.6m in NIL this year. People just keep looking at base salary. It doesn't account for the guaranteed money / signing bonus that you get when you sign your rookie contract as a top-5 draft pick. Like do people really think Caleb Williams would make more in NIL than what, for example, Trevor Lawrence has already made? NIL money means more for guys who don't have great NFL aspirations. If you are going to be the No. 1 overall pick, then no, NIL money does not trump the money you get when you sign your rookie contract. For example, Bryce Young's signing bonus was $26 million. Even if Caleb Williams got another $2.5 next year, it would still take him 5 more college seasons to make what Bryce Young just made by signing a contract. On top of all the money you can still get from sponsors post-NFL. AND on top of that, your rookie contract is basically guaranteed unless you suck and your team releases you, and that isn't happening to the No. 1 Overall Pick. Whereas you are jeopardizing yourself with a potential injury if you return to college. Again NIL makes more sense for someone like Stetson Bennett. Someone who went late in the draft and won't have a huge signing bonus. He could conceivably make more from NIL than his rookie contract. But Caleb Williams? He absolutely would be sacrificing money next year by returning to USC and making himself susceptible to injury or worse, regression in performance. AND be setting himself a year back from signing the lucrative NFL QB extension.
  9. I would be very concerned about a QB who is outright refusing to play for a group of teams. One team? Okay, sure. Multiple teams? That would just be weird and would turn me off.
  10. Never say never, but I SERIOUSLY doubt Caleb Williams will return to USC. First off, the signing bonus for his rookie contract would definitely be more than what he would make next year. Two, it would push back a contract extension another year. I would believe Shadeur staying before I would Caleb and that is only because of his father.
  11. I don't think I have ever lost faith in a player in a single play like I did there. How do you let a 34 year old defensive back just destroy you on the most important play of the game? I've never seen that happen to a franchise left tackle before Is it time to start thinking he's not the answer? He's sucked all year
  12. And to clarify, I am not defending Reich. I am not a big fan of the play-calling 3 games in either, although I do think we should take into account the amount of turnover with the coaches and players. It takes time to get people to gel. But it is also kind of annoying how people will say stuff without any facts to go along with it. Like how are we going to accuse the coach for lying about how often Sanders would be utilized, when he literally touches the ball more than all but 13 other RBs/WRs/TEs? There is a reason he's so valued in fantasy right now - he is one of the few RBs who appear to dominate the teams backfield as far as touches go.
