@SaraSmartist Happy to make a small contribution to an interesting topic.

@four264 @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings I’m not aware of anyone denying that he’ll be ready for training camp. That has never been the point, to the best of my knowledge.
English

@tyvin @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings His actual surgeon who is also very reputable and regarded as THE top specialist regarding these types of injuries says Maxx was fine and he will return by training camp. It’s obviously bullshit on the ravens part because they saw they weren’t a Maxx Crosby away from a chip
English

“I truly believe that once they figured out ‘we lost Linderbaum, we lost Isaiah Likely, we kinda need these picks’… It’s just unfair, the player's mentality...It's just not cool."
@GregJennings explains what the Ravens-Crosby situation looks like from a player’s perspective:
English

@four264 @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings Backed up by Cowboys doctor, who has fantastic reputation league wide and out, along with multiple independent doctors. Those are documented facts. Which I will always believe over “trust me, bro.”
“I don’t need a source!”
Lmao
English

@tyvin @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings I don’t need a source. It was bullshit from from them to try and save face. You have no documented facts. Even the medicine you claim his doctor told them he was on track. It was the ravens doctors who conveniently failed his physical
English

@mobiuspoker Math is important..”Oh no, I have too many outs, I can’t win (stands up, puts on coat, grabs backpack).
English

@JustUrAvgFlyGuy @_RyanFowler_ Likely 4th, but anywhere 3rd-5th, imo.
English

@_RyanFowler_ What does your gut tell you what round he gets drafted in?
English

@four264 @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings This theory of yours that they were not going to (at least) try to extend Max Crosby after giving up two first round picks..
Do you have a source?
Because if not, you’re just using speculation, feelings, and circumstantial evidence to argue against documented facts and medicine
English

@tyvin @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings There was no reason this year he needed an extension. It’s just the excuse they gave as they’re out. You even heard on Maxx podcast how they treated when he got there. They already knew they were going to back out because they media had been dogging them throughout the weekend
English

@ButkusStats I would buy a jersey day one.
This is my favorite player in the draft.
English

This is a me problem. But I just really dislike the idea of drafting a safety in the top 2 rounds. I think there are so many guys to be found in the mid rounds, and one of the hardest positions to reliably scout.

@ButkusStats Best route I think is going DB to DL. So DB and LB are probably the more premium picks
English

@four264 @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings Whaaat? The Ravens signed a 31 yo to a 4 year deal, and gave themselves an out after 2 years, in case his play declines? Unheard of!
It’s a 4 year deal, with an out after 2.
None of which changes the fact that nobody was giving themselves Raiders 2 1’s w/o extending Crosby.
English

@tyvin @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings That’s not a real 4 year deal bro. Were you born yesterday? They added to extra years to extend the cap hit.
English

@ButkusStats I’m not only looking at safeties right now, but I’m coming around to the idea of linebacker or corner at 25. I am 100% on board with BPA w/some weight given to positional need.
English

@ButkusStats I think you know my preference by now. All things equal, I want trenches early and often. However, I just have so many questions about this year‘s batch of DL at 25. The guys that I have the most faith in as prospects don’t seem to fit DA’s preferred mold.
English

@ChiSportsSteve @ErikLambert1 I’m a DL/OL guy through and through, hated taking Gordon/Brisker w/first two picks of Poles first draft, but there’s a real chance that at 25, the best DL prospect available might be 2 grade levels below the best S/LB/CB available. In that scenario, take the best football player.

How Jeff King Dropped A Major Clue On #Bears’ Likely 1st Round Defensive Target sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/…
English

@four264 @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings Brother..stop. They signed Hendrickson to a 4 year deal. They wanted to extend Crosby to similar.
Nobody was offering two 1’s for Crosby w/o a plan to extend him.
NOBODY.
English

@tyvin @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings They are trying to maximize what’s left of Lamar’s prime. They aren’t looking 4-5 years down the road of Maxx. Maxx had just signed a contract with the raiders last year and wasn’t looking for more money or a new contract so no one believes that to be true.
English

@Peter_Bukowski Lemme guess..But the team that pulled the “Double Amber Heard” (sh*t the bed twice) against the Bears and their rookie QB, once in the biggest game of the season for GB, is still a contender, right?

English

4/5 teams having QBs on rookie deals is actually crazy. And none of those teams are actual contenders right now either.

A week into the league year, NFL accounting on the 10 teams tightest to the cap ... 1) Bears $213K 2) Panthers $4.57M 3) Giants $5.41M 4) Jaguars $5.90M 5) Vikings $6.10M 6) Dolphins $7.06M 7) Bills $9.77M 8) Cowboys $13.12M 9) Saints $13.12M 10) Chiefs $13.34M

The Chicago Bears appear to largely be running it back with the same defensive line next season, and that makes absolutely no sense. windycitygridiron.com/chicago-bears-…
English

@four264 @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings Meniscus repairs have a 50% fail rate after one year. It jumps to 80% after 4 years. Math and medicine tells us that just one year from now, Crosby is a coin flip or worse to have a healthy meniscus going forward.
From Tom Pelissero:

English

@four264 @FAUXMONIKER @FTFonFS1 @GregJennings Now you’re just being silly. No team would trade two first round picks for one year of Maxx Crosby.. or Lawrence Taylor for that matter. Every report out there says that the ravens had a lucrative extension offer for Crosby before the physical. They wanted him long-term.
English

@timeforjeffrey Sorry, Jeff, like most of my timeline, I thought you were projecting for the Chicago Bears.
English

@timeforjeffrey He would have to work hard to be a much more consistent edge setter to fit DA’s profile at the position, imo.
If it were me, I would draft him. But my preferences for the position aren’t similar to Allen‘s.
