Which coincides perfectly with what I said about last year's QB class. It stacked up pretty much on par with recent history outside of having any guys considered slam dunk top tier prospects. Which of those descriptions seems more accurate with 3-4 guys likely to start in year two? What I said or "atrocious"? The NFL undervalued that class.

How many teams starting second year QBs are ever considered contenders? 3-4 QBs penciled in as starters going into the second season is pretty damn good.

I treating it's still considered an "atrocious" QB class when there are at least three QBs drafted last year who are almost certainly going to be starting this year and quite possibly four depending on what the Pats do with Mac Jones.

It looks like it's eyes are starting to open. It's up to 200g now. Almost doubled in weight.

Yeah, this.

It's just physics, man. It's all velocity, mass, energy, and bullet type. If we're talking FMJs then they don't expand, period. If we're talking about an expandable, hollow point type of bullet them they're all going to expand in a human sized target. There's a lot of mythology around the .223/5.56 round but if it was true the military wouldn't be moving away from it to a larger, more powerful round despite the ammo capacity reducing weight penalty that comes along with that move. You see this type of mythology in the long range shooting world. Guys absolutely convinced there's something magical about 6.5mm projectiles that allows them to have a flatter trajectory. No, there just happens to be a lot of heavy for caliber, low ballistic coefficient bullets commercially available in that caliber. There's nothing magical about that specific diameter of projectile.

It seems like people have been fleeing Michigan for years. I swear there was a time about a decade ago in CO when every third person you met had just moved here from Michigan.

The physics of ball flight change from college to the NFL? We're talking about tracking the ball here.

Yeah, I think the only folks moving, selling, and buying right now are folks that have to due to a relocation or they're fleeing from an area of higher cost of living to an area with lower cost of living. Moves within the same area looking for an upgrade or something like that just don't make much sense right now.

This is a complete myth. The .223/5.56 round is one of the weaker modern centerfire rifle rounds available. Interesting historical note: the AR-15 actually predates the M-16. If you're comparing the .223/5.56 to typical gunshot wounds seen in America (almost always handguns) then yes, the .223/5.56 is far more damaging. That's simply because rifle rounds pack a lot more velocity and energy. But compare the .223/5.56 to other rifles typically found in American gun safes (pick your flavor - .308, .30-06, .243, .270, whatever, think typical "deer rifles") and those rounds create a LOT more damage than the .223/5.56. There's a reason why the military is moving away from that round to a larger diameter, heavier bullet round despite the weight penalty that will mean soldiers will be able to carry less ammunition in the field. They need a round that does more damage. If you want to ban the AR-15 on the rationale of the damage the round causes you are in effect arguing to ban all modern centerfire rifles because the vast majority do a lot more damage than the .223/5.56.

Because you either cannot or will not acknowledge the reality that these firearms can be modified to be compliant. That's on you. It seems to me that you just want blanket bans on no actual functional basis. If you take your non-compliant firearm and modify it to be compliant, what's the problem? I have moved zero goal posts. I have been perfectly logically consistent. I said from the beginning that I support banning high capacity detachable magazines. Period. You just thought you were going to be able to convince me that means that I support blanket banning a bunch of firearms based on this sole attribute. I support requiring those firearms to be modified to be compliant. That's where we differ. No. I will not support an "assault rifle" ban because it focuses on a lot of irrelevant features. Focus on the feature that makes this class of firearms particularly deadly in mass shooting scenarios. Drop all the other BS.

Might wanna go back and watch his college games.

We can definitely be creative about getting the ball in his hands in space in multiple ways but I wouldn't give up on developing him as a legit WR just yet.

It's exasperating to me that you're confused. I said I'm ok with banning high capacity removable magazines. In your opinion that means that AR-15s are banned. Forget AR-15s. Use a Mini-14, whatever. All of those weapons can be retrofitted to be made compliant with banning high capacity removable magazines. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.

Give me 3500+ yards with 25+ TDs and a 2:1+ TD:INT ratio with 10+ wins and I'm as happy as I can be.

Because they're magazines. Clips are devices that make loading magazines easier.

I really don't understand why we kept rates so low for so long. It completely shifted the way people viewed borrowing. It skewed the value of money. People are panicking about today's interest rates but today's rates are still relatively very low in terms of historical norms. We just had clown world level interest rates for a long time and it skewed everything. Just nobody had the balls to do anything about it because it was creating booming growth (on paper). I mean, real wages weren't growing but the upper crust were accumulating massive wealth and the stock market and corporate profits looked great so keep printing money! The older I get the more I realize that our policy makers honestly just aren't that smart.

I'm glad we drafted Brown and he's the exact guy I wanted there and I talked a lot of poo to the Simmons camp at the time but I'm still a big believer in his talent. I just thought Brown filled a bigger need at a higher priority position. I just saw Derrick Brown and saw Kris Jenkins 2.0. After seeing the Cardinals botch it with Reddick and seeking what he's done after getting away from there I think it's likely they're doing it again.

Maybe he's just excelled despite being in an incompetent environment.

What are you confused about?

None of them were LB/EDGE hybrids either. That's where they seem to struggle.

Because you're talking about the working definition of an "assault rifle". I'm talking about an AR-15. They aren't one in the same.

I think the Cardinals just keep drafting defenders that they don't know how to utilize.

We're not though. You're just hinging your entire definition on one specific feature to ignore everything else they want to ban. There are already commercially available solutions for this in the handful of states with regulations requiring it with the anticipation of more likely to follow.

Probably the best for Simmons. I was FIRMLY in the Brown camp but the quicker Simmons can get out of AZ the better off he'll be. See: Reddick, Hasson.
