I was going to say his career has been more like this Deebo.  Thinking Deebo Samuel is too much for me believe.  If that were a remote possibility the Jags would have kept him. It's really ridiculous to think that's even possible.

Not sure the Jags system did much to facilitate this.  Deebo Samuel was not a Deebo-type player until the Niners found a way to use him.  A Deebo-type player is a hybrid, larger player who can go from back to receiver and create mismatches.  That was my point.  Did not say he was going to be as good as Deebo, for the record

Yeah because the Jags know what they're doing!

Yeah I just don't see that in him but I sure hope McAdoo makes this worth the time and effort.  This kid plays more like a TE to me. He better hit the jugs machine if he wants to stay here because we already have a hybrid that can't catch.

It always confuses me when we trade with a bad team and people complain about how we're trying to "emulate" said team, or go dumpster diving for bad teams' scraps.  Like...would you feel more confident that we "won" a trade with a smart and successful organization like the Steelers or Chiefs?  Or with a dysfunctional franchise like the Jaguars or Browns?  I'd be a lot more skeptical if we were trading with a good team that was willing to part with a young talented player.

Duke Johnson Jr is a good example. Just got dropped by the Bills. Talented hybrid back whose prime was wasted on Cleveland's worst seasons and has never been utilized properly IMO

Yeah, good teams don't make bad trades usually. Bad teams do. They are exactly who you should trade with as they keep changing coaches and systems and players every 2 or 3 years

I'd be...skeptical 🤔

Me too. I forgot to use the sarcasm font.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
