Brady has had 11 healthy seasons as starter. 7 AFC championship games in those 11 years. Meaning the Pats made it to the final four 64% of the time. All 11 years with winning records and at least tying for the best record in the division. Nearly half of those seasons resulted in 13+ wins...
Re: Kyle Love to be released
Yep and thanks for the clarifications on my over-simplified post. The distinction between T1 and T2 diabetes is important. T1 doesn't "get better" (at least I've never heard of it happening...the recent advancements mentioned in this thread aside) but it is much...
Not that I'm doubting the science of this, but can you imagine the first person to suggest this as an option? Sounds like a mechanic that has run out of ideas to get your car to pass inspection. "How about we put the muffler at the front?"
Re: Kyle Love to be released
I'm not even sure the premise of the article is factually accurate. "Football and type 2 diabetes can coexist"?? Has anyone diagnosed with type 2 diabetes ever played in the NFL? Cutler has type 1. I think Kendall Simmons (a comparable player to Love) also...
I have a number of family members affected by type 2 diabetes. My dad died after suffering complications for a number of years from diabetes. I can absolutely tell you all one thing...a person carrying a lot of weight with type 2 diabetes is a ticking time bomb. Managing the disease with...
I think Jones signed a 3-year deal. Anyway, a 2-year deal without significant guaranteed money is essentially a team option for a 2nd year. I think players on minimal deals would rather have them for 1 year. If they do well, hit FA on a high. If they suck, they get cut either way. Don't...
I think you have to classify risks as "insane" or "stupid" if there is a near 100% chance of the risk not ending up in the "reward" side of the ledger. All of the players you mention have an element of risk to them:
O'Connell - Raw with questionable college experience. Prototype physical...
I don't see it. Matthews is pretty close to an overgrown safety. It took a lot of "weight training" to get him up to 240 and he seems to fluctuate between slender and blown up. Collins is a legit 250 who could add weight if he wanted (but I'm not sure that he should). Matthews looks to run...
I noticed that as well. I don't think read-option specifically is a consideration for this year (only Skins and Niners really do it often enough to warrant scheming against it), but I think it reflects well on his ability to diagnose and react.
To the broader question of how Collins would be...
You can watch the pro day on youtube (search "Rutgers 2013 pro day"...there are lots of options). Those numbers were reported on one of the videos and it looked like a Rutgers broadcast.
To your point, I'm actually not naive enough to think that the 4.45 is overly scientific. However, I...
The key to all of this discussion is the opportunity cost of selecting Harmon at #91. People are assuming there were relatively equal assets available at #91 that could have been added in addition to Harmon. But what if that just weren't the case?
There are only 2 uses for a draft...
Rolando McClain, Brandon Graham, Bryan Bulaga, Tim Tebow, Jerry Hughes, Sergio Kindle, Javier Arenas, Jimmy Clausen and Vladimir Ducasse all say "Hi". In fact, if the Pats had taken any 2 out of Hughes, Kindle or Ducasse instead of the reach for McCourty and the injury risk in Gronkowski, many...
That is a completely legit contention and would have been the same if they had picked any remaining safety on the board. While I'm sympathetic to your position, I have a hard time getting the picture of a decimated secondary or a safety being one step too late ending the Pats season again and...
