Around the NFL

I feel the same way but I might be thinking Saints, they've had some OL injuries as well

They lost Will Clapp (one of their top reserve Olinemen for the year).

I think one of their starters might miss Week 1.

Tristan Wirfs is going to miss a few games for the Bucs to start the season.

We need a fast start, and hopefully good luck on the injury front after several years with bad luck.

Bears just gave QB Tyler Bagent a second contract....he's asked about the impact....gets emotional, says his father didn't have running water growing up

I've met his father a few times, great human. At one point in time for around 20 years no mortal man could beat him left armed on a table. He just had superhuman strength and he never lied about being juiced up. He's very smart and very entertaining. Hes got a YouTube that focuses on arm wrestling. There's tons of other older videos of him just smashing arms. He had unreal speed for a ultra heavyweight and just one of the best to ever pull.

One short story- He did some work for cross fit and they flew him out to Australia. Well they gave him some 20 year old smoke show to be his guide and helper, after he realized this he went to the people in charge and asked for a different intern. He's one of the rare men that never cheated on wife and didn't want to start, him telling it was too funny. He's got a great story teller vibe and is great on MCs duties if you are a USA fan.

Just saw this...

I get that as an agent, it's his job to advocate for his client.

I question whether he really has a leg to stand on here, though

Glad we didn't draft him.

AR was one of the most obvious and clear busts I have seen in years as a first round pick. 

The fact that we had a contingent pounding the table for him in the Huddle is scary. 

He doesn't have an ounce of NFL QB ability in his body. He is just a guy that is a great athlete that can throw a pretty long ball once in a while. He is literally a CFL caliber player as his maximum ceiling.

Love seeing good people that deserve it get their bag. I realize that $10M for an NFL player is nothing but for a kid that came from a no nothing town, went to a no nothing school, and was a no nothing UDFA it's a massive accomplishment. Good for him.

I 100% wanted AR15 over BY.

 

*I also stated AR need at the very very least to sit a whole NFL season, I was 100% with that as well.

colts named him starter before Panthers did with BY..

he needed a red shirt and who knows then with the right leadership.

Travis was a great father unlike the poo-head that was his. Like Tyson said, Travis had to carry water to his house until he was 8 years old. His dad just didn't care or provide for Travis or any of his kids or the wife for that matter. He could have easily done so, but he didn't. His dad owned a local WV bar and that was where you could find him. Travis grew up ultra poor and didn't have too. 

Travis did all he could for Tyson to make it. Big day for them and for the rare, they for sure earned it.

I would have passed on AR 10 times out of 10.  Not in the first round, ever.

heres a good match between Richard lupkes and Travis

Richard is like 60 in the video and 320 Lbs

I knew AR-15 was a bust. Dude was crazy inaccurate in college.  Big arms don't mean anything if you can't hit the broad side of a barn.  Not surprised a jag QB like Daniel Jones beat him out.

"Bold, stupid and very accurate predictions"

Despite his overwhelming Broncos fandom, I like this channel. Look beyond the comedy routines and these are pretty sound and fair takes.

No Panthers mentions, because no one cares, but he did not predict us to be the worst in the NFC.

Now do Josh Allen.

Just saying. They were similar prospects except that Allen was even more wildly inaccurate.

Josh Allen was not nearly as bad as AR-15.  Josh wasn't the most accurate passer in college, but he wasn't nearly as scatter shot as Richardson.  To make things worse, Anthony came out as a RSO.  Really young, inexperienced AND major accuracy issues? Big red flags for me.
