To give you a straight answer, it is a uniquely DW Toys contribution to the board. You won't find it in threads where he hasn't participated.
I had a long client gig with Eastman Chemical in Kingsport, and still have friends there, so feel OK about making fun of them. Still have a canning jar...
I think this model is what leads to so much dissatisfaction for fans. We are talking about trading for and/or signing a WR that's already proven they can be that guy. So they've done it already for a couple of years.
First, the list of top 20-30 WR in any given year will only provide 6-8 guys...
This numbering of WR's is very imprecise and diverse in meaning.
There are guys who require specific coverage strategies, in part because they have the ability to defeat the cookbook of normal coverages. I guess that's what a #1 is.
Every other WR has specific capabilities that fit well, or...
Had a very good conversation with a dog behaviorist about canine separation anxiety recently. This is a very difficult disorder to treat, and like serious human trauma, almost always requires medication to calm the mind so that behavioral therapy can have impact. People who try to treat it...
It originated in the military as a sarcastic review of a common leadership style. It got adopted by corporate world. All of that at least 50 years ago. Pop culture discovered it and, of course, acted like they invented it.
Bedard with a good analysis of the Ridley situation. A bit of it:
The Titans came out of nowhere over the top with $50 million guaranteed. No one around the league thought he would get north of $22 million. My sense is the breakdown came on the guaranteed money. I don't think the Patriots would...
QB in round 1, LT in round 2, and then 2 or 3 WR sprinkled through the draft, and hope that one of those 3 is a surprise star.
Before that, sign a middling LT and WR (that's what is left), and a CB (would love Gilmore as a mentor for all the youngsters in the backfield).
So the top of the...
This is the kind of guy that championship teams are built around. A core of these high value, good but not great players, to which a handful of great players can be added.
That's useful.
And every owner, and the league executives, had bean counters giving them updates on this at least once a month, as the details took shape.
This has been nagging me for a while. As soon as he got called "generational" I got cold feet. That causes beer goggles on evaluation.
There are a few evaluators who are publishing opinions that align with yours - that there are 3-5 top WR in this class and there isn't much separation between...
So you are asserting that the owners, as business people, don't track revenue as it happens? And don't know the formula they agreed to contractually years ago?
They only people surprised by this were the media, and by extension the fans.
Yes, absolutely. It is a baked in calculation, based on revenues. They knew it was coming, because they track revenues. If they cap doesn't go up, it is because the owners' business didn't do well.
