    Agreed, they coulda just drafted a receiver with a midround pi - Oh. Right.
  2. The Great Hambino
    I don't know if this has been mentioned, but it just adds another level of sad to this dumpster fire of a season: Adam Thielen - hometown franchise legend, brought in at the expense of a mid-round pick to shore up the position at the start of the season - has been reduced to a healthy scratch. I think you could argue that Moss' return to the Vikes went better than this - at least it helped get Chilly fired

    They're getting to the point where they're going to lose credibility with the locker room if they try to accept the status quo. Trying to run it back would be the equivalent of signing their own death warrant
  4. The Great Hambino
    Okay so who is the answer? Who is the answer to this riddle? Is anyone freely available sliding into this cap situation and making a difference? The answer is no. They are screwed. The reality is that they've broken this beyond repair and have to start over from scratch. They are as far away from success as they could possibly be. Their gross miscalculation of the capability of their worthless first round QB has set the franchise back three years minimum

    There is no reason for him not to demand a trade if they can't commit to something better
  6. The Great Hambino
    The full slash line is the best measure But if you;re going to make me choose, then give me SLG every time SLG isn't going to insult my intelligence by telling me that walks and power are meaningless
  7. The Great Hambino
    Please draw me a picture of how that gets changed quickly. This organization went all-in on a bad bet. They have to start from scratch.
  8. The Great Hambino
    If I'm Jefferson, I'm demanding a trade unless a real QB is brought in in the offseason. This organization is fundamentally broken
  9. The Great Hambino
    The idea that "we should quote it as gospel because it's the best they could come up with in 1890" should speak for itself. If BA is your go-to stat, then you are telling people that you think walks and power have zero value.
  10. The Great Hambino
    Getting rid of the only reason to watch this lump of garbage is a win for the fans? I beg to differ
  11. The Great Hambino
    But they're paying a QB market rate to ply his trade
  12. The Great Hambino
    They've held JSN to 0 catches in the first half and it doesn't even matter
  13. The Great Hambino
    The defense should be able to file a class-action lawsuit against the offense for fraud.
  14. The Great Hambino
    Generally I'm on the side of being aggressive. But if ever there were a fact pattern that said "take the points," this was it
  15. The Great Hambino
    He's being paid a salary to play football. He should know better than that
  16. The Great Hambino
    I hadn't considered the possibility of the QB flipping it blindly into the middle of the field
  17. The Great Hambino
    Brosmer sure looks exactly like an undrafted free agent thrust into a starting position
  18. The Great Hambino
    Is there a world? Yeah. Dante wrote about it. It has multiple circles within it. Some call it the underworld.
  19. The Great Hambino
    Because it has been logically thought out. Increased revenue sharing will not be reinvested into player salaries by those at the bottom without a mechanism forcing them to spend it - ie a floor. That mechanism doesn't have to explicitly be a % tied to a hard cap, but whatever mechanism that will be will enforce a minimum level of spending. A floor or something like it would be a major concession by the owners. This concession would not be allowed unless they were getting something substantial in return. The most likely thing this would be is a limitation on player salaries - ie a cap. So meaningful revenue sharing doesn't come without a floor, and a floor doesn't come without a cap
  20. The Great Hambino
    I think this is 100% false. You're just assuming that the teams receiving more revenue sharing will automatically reinvest that into player salaries, and there is no evidence that this is true. Bob Nutting already sits on what he receives - why wouldn't he just sit on more and make an even bigger profit? There is no reason to believe that he and others like him will spend it unless forced to. That means a salary floor, which doesn't happen without a salary cap. You're proposing taking money from the teams willing to spend and giving it to the teams not willing to spend with no mechanism to force them to spend it. That is salary suppression, full stop. The players union would have to be full-on stupid to agree to something like that. Meaningful increases in revenue sharing and a cap/floor go hand in hand. They won't work with out the other.

    The way things have taken shape, I think there's a decent chance one of those holes is filled with a Rule V pick

    Per the Athletic, STL is covering $20MM of his salary this year The contract is also getting re-worked so that this year's base goes down from $35MM to $31MM, but next year's $30MM club option becomes a mutual option with a $10MM buyout. So effectively a 1 year $41MM deal with STL covering about half of it. Seems like Ryan could still slot in well there, if they're into that sort of thing
  23. The Great Hambino
    Why would they need a contingency plan for players when there are dozens of all-time greats just sitting in that cornfield waiting to be brought in to play? Smokey Joe Wood, Mel Ott, Gil Hodges, Ray Liotta, all legends of the game ready and available.
  24. The Great Hambino
    That weird season also gave us the only episode of Montreal Expos: Playoff Team Interesting that it took a strike to get them into the playoffs (at the expense of a Cardinals team that had the division's best overall record), but another strike killed the best Expos team ever before it could get to the playoffs It's like rain on your wedding day
  25. The Great Hambino
    What timeframe are we talking about here? I've lost track. Cuz the Rams won the Super Bowl like four years ago
