I haven't looked at the 2019 draft class yet, but likely either one of them or some reclamation project. I'm not overly concerned until Brady hits the wall.

Only because Baker Mayfield went to the Browns. If he went to somebody who was garden-variety incompetent, like a team owned and run by Snidely Whiplash, then Mayfield would win the comparison easily.

The Patriots QB need is "young guy who can potentially take over from Brady once he retires," not "functional backup QB." Hoyer, with a decent team around him, already covers the latter.

It's mostly pity, I think, and it's hard to really feel hate for something so harmless as the Bills have been for two decades.

I could root for the Bills, because it's hard to feel hate for such a sad puppy. I could not-root-against the Dolphins, depending on who they're playing - it's more fun to imagine Snyder's misery than the Dolphins being crushed. If the Jetes are playing, at best I'll hope for a giant meteor.

He's straight-up not allowed to play until cleared - in the event that an attempt was made regardless, security simply wouldn't let him, and the Patriots would eat a harsh punishment for the stunt. Strictly legal issues, no.

The problem isn't that it's entirely without merit - a lot of the TB12 method is standard nutrition and fitness advice, like avoiding processed foods and closely watching what you eat. If Gronk was relying more on physical gifts than superior conditioning, then it's not surprising just...

Bill Belichick: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life? McDaniels: The open receiver, fleet halfback, falcons at your feet, and the Lombardi in your hand. Bill Belichick: Wrong! Patricia! What is best in life? Patricia: To crush the Steelers. See them driven before...

On the flip side, he's taking snaps from guys who couldn't manage to sack Petty when the Jets are thinking about warm beaches and golf. With all the injuries, the starting point for Patriots linebackers right now isn't very high.

Minimal, since postseason shares are fixed and he's only receiving one week's worth of a prorated (very low - possibly veteran minimum) salary. The guy just wanted to play and prove he had something left, he wasn't out for the dough, which really helps temper the stories coming out of...

It's well past two by now, but that's where my vote went as well. Harrison is old, but he's barely seen the field this year, so he's far from broken down. Wily old veteran on a well coached team, brought in to help with filling two specific roles (defend against the run and rush the passer)...

He always struck me as getting by more on knowledge and skill more than raw athletic ability, so maybe that'd make him a decent coach? If he's a Good Guy then Bill might be willing to give him a chance, and it wouldn't require the Bills to release his rights.

The Chargers are similar to the Saints: good QB, good offensive skill positions, really bad defense, and team is overall mediocre. The Saints have a HoF QB, though, and so there's always hope; the Chargers have a guy who was near-elite in his youth, but is showing his age. So, yeah, clearly...

The last perfect human died on February 27, 2003.

If Langi turns into Slater version 2.0, I'd be thrilled - six Pro Bowls, four All Pro? For a guy who went undrafted? Yeah, it'd obviously be best if he could contribute as a defender, but an ace at special teams has its own value.

Kaep was told that he could opt out, or he could be released; he was never seeing that money. Had he not agreed to renegotiate the contract and trade injury guarantees for the opt-out, he'd have never seen the field and then been released anyway, without playing at all during the season.

Moore is a perfectly competent backup QB who won't overly derail a team, especially when he's backing up a guy who isn't much (if any) better. The Dolphins would still be a wild card contender with Matt Moore. If they actually do sign Cutler, then we'll know the Jets aren't the only ones...

No, he doesn't get in, and no, I don't think he deserves it. Nink was a solid player for an extended period, but he was neither a star nor the lynchpin of the defense. There are better choices available, and with the way the Patriots draft, there will continue to be better choices until Nink...

Sure, of course New England is the favorite - but if Brady goes down with a season-ending injury, that's a lucky break for the rest of the conference. Who's able to step up and take advantage?

It's the first day of camp, and Tomlin is a pretty easy going coach. If this were the Patriots it'd be out of line, but most coaches aren't hardass do-your-job types, and if the coach doesn't mind it's not really fair to fault the players for minor antics. It's entirely fair to fault to coach...
