@Sladorv @BriskerSZN He follows them because they hate on him so much. I'm pretty sure he does that for a lot of accounts

@CoachPapaJohn Mfs will just say stuff so they can disagree with Mina Kimes wtaf are you talking about💀 Different positions means different jobs
English
Agreed it’s important to blindly agree with who massive corporations decide to pay more because they’re inherently more valuable
Mina Kimes@minakimes
No. Im saying 32 teams clearly value one position more than the other, as evidenced by the fact that the better player is making way less.
English
@T3Jab @FFBTheGoat69 AJ Brown and Drake London are more valuable. The counter example is how you didn't include Cook on this list despite him leading the league in rushing yards. Saquon had a down year despite everyone knowing just how elite he is. This disparity happens far more with RBs
English
@FFBTheGoat69 Think of her argument literally not what you think the argument is a cousin of.
Think of all the A+ RBs in football. There are maybe 5-7. Taylor, Saqoun, CMC, Henry, Achane, Bijan, Gibbs.
Which of these players has a WR that’s more valuable to their offense than them?
English
You don’t think a better argument would be that the NFL over the last 5/6 years has inflated the value of some positions and ignored others? Chris Jones makes less than DK Metcalf. Is it possible the NFL gets it wrong sometimes and pure finances are a bad argument?
Mina Kimes@minakimes
No. Im saying 32 teams clearly value one position more than the other, as evidenced by the fact that the better player is making way less.
English
@minakimes I agree RB value is lower but this is partially because they tend to have shorter careers. Pay can be used but it is pretty important to not use it as the "settling of the debate." Draft capital spent is a better representation of the difference
English
There’s an easy way to settle this debate….
Look at what NFL teams actually pay the players.
RJ Ellison (Cam Ward’s Body Guard)@Romellz_
Yall not finna tell me Drake London is more valuable than Jahmyr Gibbs. An A+ RB can change an entire game in a heartbeat 🤷🏾♂️
English
@theblockspot How is Trevor not generational? Best prospect at least since Andrew Luck who retired before he even got into the league. Wemby is arguably the greatest since Bron and maybe even greater
English
@Saints504_ NFC south is the most even (every team hates every team), AFC North is the most on the field, and NFC East is the most historic/off the field
English
@luke_seahawk @PanasonicDX4500 It's just a combination of sample size to be honest. Football tends to have the most upsets and surprises just because there's less games
English
@PanasonicDX4500 Literally what other sport is this even possible
English
“the problem is that you can never have a fluke game that ends unexpectedly” is probably the single funniest complaint you could have about baseball.
Jed 🇬🇧@TigersJUK
One of the reasons baseball will never get World Cup level big on the international stage… Huge upsets are basically impossible. Other sports you can use tactics/stall/get a bit lucky. Not baseball. Random bloke from Brazil gotta chuck 89 over the plate against the monstars. Good luck.
English
@Meegs214 The truth is draft class quality is almost impossible to predict ahead of time. Mendoza was a sleeper just a year ago and so was Cam ward the year before he declared. The question is if the pendulum swings back to some of these guys succeeding
English
Yes the vaunted 2027 QB class full of guys who were draft eligible who weren’t good enough to declare this year I am so sure
Thor Nystrom@thorku
Ty Simpson would be like QB7 in next year’s class. I’m not saying that top-15 or top-10 can’t or won’t happen. I’m saying that anyone involved with that decision will be clearing out their desks 10 months from now.
English
The year is 2030. Jalen Green is still shooting 35% from the field, chucking up shots while being a negative in every other aspect of the game.
Yet somebody out there still has hope.
They are likely just attracted to him — but there are worse things than to be blinded by love.
English
@m_booker1 The issue is that it's impossible to know if their success comes from sitting or because they were just good from the start. My guess is that players who have planned sits get more time to work on their flaws rather than further enforce them through playing
English
i am so unconvinced that “sit and learn behind a veteran QB” is a real thing, are there any cases besides Rodgers and Mahomes where this worked
Nico@elitetakes_
I would love to see Anthony Richardson sit for a year & learn under a proven QB developer Don’t think throwing him right back onto the field is a recipe for success
English
@richard_normal Honestly what I think is more important is simply shortening rebuilds. NBA tanking sucks because it can last half a decade and sometimes more. Requiring another year after high school brings more league ready players and actually allows rookies to contribute like in the NFL
English
also the reason we have tanking (to the extent that it does exist) in the nba but not other sports is because in no other major american sport can one player change your life in the same way that one truly great basketball player can
richard@richard_normal
the thing that gets me the most with nba tank discourse is when people assert that fixes are easy. "oh just give everyone in the lottery equal odds, just give the number one pick to the best team to not make the playoffs, oh just do the wheel". these all have terrible downsides!
English
@spkrts @jirisvengeance_ Absolutely not a historic o-line, their issues got swept under the rug because they won but they def weren't historic
English
@jirisvengeance_ Against a historically great O-line and the greatest rushing attack ever
English
The Seahawks using their DVOA to stop Saquon

Jay(Deni Avdija ACL tear enjoyer)🇲🇦🇵🇸@jirisvengeance_
@spkrts Put your DVOA on the table buddy

@Justus_Dobe @BillsHateMe As a bills and Josh Allen hater, it's absolutely ridiculous to act like any of that winning is Maye's doing. Worst playoff run in NFL history and got bailed out by a great defense. Give Allen that defense and he'll blow past the AFC
English
@BillsHateMe The real funny thing is Maye has been to more Super Bowls than Allen…Maye is an AFC Champion in his 2nd year, what about Allen….
English
@DavidAFrench The truth behind tanking is that basketball is a sport where it is near impossible to overcome talent deficits. I think the best solution is requiring an extra year of college and a hard salary cap which allows for more balanced drafts focusing on talent over pure potential
English
I’m going to fix the NBA’s tanking problem right now:
Draft order is the reverse order of non-playoff teams. Best team to miss the play-in gets first pick, then the order is determined from there. (Second-best team to miss play-in gets second pick, and so on).
All the worst teams will have huge incentives to play hard.
Problem solved. You’re welcome :)
English
@allen_drewe @ItsJust__E @waveryder91 It's hilarious to count fumbles but not rushing touchdowns. Peak ragebaiting fs
English
@ItsJust__E @waveryder91 Lamar has more turnovers than touchdowns in his playoff career.
English
Maye’s defense has forced 8 turnovers in the first 3 playoff games of his career.
Lamar’s defense forced 1 in the first 4 playoff games of his career.
Balloutt@Ba11outtGoated
Maye in year 2 already touching Super Bowl soil and my 8th year Qb hasn’t

@elitetakes_ A good snow game is far better than a good non snow game but I feel like people have to be lying to me to say that game was good in any form once it started snowing
English
@Kyochi_Myogo @GardenNomi_ @PeterTwinklage Unemployment rates especially among young people have risen sharply and employers surveys show they are less willing to hire entry level workers. Job reports have been absolute dog shit outside of the healthcare industry. It's genuinely ridiculous to think we're in a bull market
English
@GardenNomi_ @PeterTwinklage Yes, I know what the phrase means. What there is no actual lower part of the K, it’s a fake concept. It was dredged up from old discredited economic theory when Trump’s economy started doing well. Please stop being such an idiot.
English
the economy is in the shitter, no one under 25 can find a job, unregulated AI has destroyed our collective understanding of reality, we’re involved in more foreign wars than ever before, Americans are being executed in the street, but THANK GOD we can say “faggot” and “retarded”
captive dreamer@captive_dreamer
You're welcome for the memes. You can also say "faggot" and "retarded" thanks to us!
English
@TruthyDWilliams @nickmendias @HeisenBurghh You're right that sacks are overvalued but none of the advanced stats lean anywhere towards Watt
English
@nickmendias @HeisenBurghh Because sacks aren’t the only thing that matters. Especially when one player is asked to do more in his defense than the other.
Casual sack count glazers are the worst.

Danielle Hunter is 31.
TJ Watt is 31.
Danielle Hunter is so much better than TJ Watt it’s not even funny.
English
@elitetakes_ It's also just incredibly unlucky in terms of him losing his top 10 running back and multiple good receivers. Good QBs still elevate their roster but it's clear the good QB play is still in there somewhere
English
TL asleep? I’m not out on CJ Stroud
The Texans shouldn’t pay him, and if today killed his career in Houston I’d understand
This O-line has broken his confidence & rhythm in the pocket. But there’s a special pocket passer in there that I believe can re-emerge elsewhere. Prime fresh start candidate
English
@Chughes612 As a dolphins fan he's right. It's not even worth paying him and they should just trade him for a 3rd to us to get off his contract
English
Lamar thru for 4 thousand yards/41 touchdowns and 4 interceptions when his offense was 31st in the NFL in passing attempts btw.
CHAD POWERS@BBONYGPodcast
@Chughes612 John turned the Ravens into a heavy run offense when Lamar got there. It led to Lamar play action passing downfield. Lamar is not a great pocket passer, now his body is wearing down so he will be finished, not worth paying him
English
