New CBA passed

Wow.  I didn’t think it would.  It was real close in the vote. 1019 for and 959 against. 
I would love to be in the meeting with Sulimani of how this really changes teams directions with contracts going forward.  Sulimani is said to understand the CBA more than almost anyone else.  
 

17 games and 2 more playoff teams. He’ll yeah. More actual football.

I also read somewhere that padded practices in training camp got drastically reduced.  If memory serves correctly, by nearly half.  So these guys will go into the season with only a dozen or so practices with pads on.  That actually sounds more dangerous.

I would say it's a perfect time to have a offensive minded coach. Defense is not wanted on either side. The last CBA cut padded practices to almost nothing and now this one makes them almost extinct.

As a fan I’m okay with an extra game. How is that going to play with the schedule? The 16 game schedule was perfect.

The chance at adding 2 more playoff teams was worth the 17th game. It gives more teams a chance to actually make the playoffs who are actually good teams.

jj watt said he didn't like it on twitter and the replies told him to 'stick to football.'

huh

Nobody cares what JJ Watt thinks, he can't speak for the entire NFL. Players passed the deal, so obviously it wasn't that bad of a deal.

If Watt doesn't like it he can retire. But I doubt that happens...

Assuming those numbers are accurate about half the players don't like it. A positive opinion sure can't speak for the entire NFL either.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
