    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    He absolutely is. He could (I'd argue should) be scoring more efficiently than he has been. I'm all for him not forcing the issue and getting the ball to teammates with better looks, I just don't know why we have to pretend he can't be expected to shoot over 38% while doing so. I'm fine with his...

    Very solid deal for his quality of player, but he profiles very similarly to guys we already have. Though considering we gave Osborn 4 million and he plays a similar role, I'd much rather have had Boyd at that price.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Wouldn't the argument be that people are worried about Tatum's shot selection and overall scoring efficiency precisely because the rest of the team is playing so well and everything else is running smoothly? Yeah, if the parts around him are working and he's having an off night it's great that...

    Roasted GOAT

    I don't even know how else someone could possibly take it. To take it at face value and just go "there you have it, he admits it!" is a level of ignorance that's kind of hard to fathom.

    He can't possibly be this fucking stupid, can he?

    R3/68 Caedan Wallace OT PSU

    People are harping too much on the "is he an LT" angle. Odds are low of getting a premier pass protecting LT in the third round, if you think the guy can play tackle at all, you take him because that's valuable. The expectations that the Patriots had to find their QB, WR and LT of the future in...

    Evaluating the Front Office

    Wholeheartedly agree. I also think most of their developmental players are on offense which is why they should aim to make the defense as stout as possible. Give Maye and the receivers some room to make mistakes and not play pressed all the time. I don't want him to be rookie Trevor Lawrence and...

    Roasted GOAT

    Yeah, the Brady 9/11 joke at least had some structure behind that made the punchline land. The Hernandez stuff was lazy, just "yeah, I'm going there" stuff.

    Props to Tom for doing this live and unedited, one of the most brutal roasts I can recall watching.

    2024 Patriots rookie minicamp: Maye Day

    I can't wait for the "Joe Milton looked more impressive than Drake Maye" takes. Joe Milton throwing the ball around in nice weather in shorts and no pass rush would make Mahomes look like Bailey Zappe in comparison.

    Travis Kelce as a starter with Alex Smith averaged 975 receiving yards and 6 TDs per season. Both higher than Gonzalez' totals. Better, more productive player.

    Kelce is way past Gonzalez. Not even close. Dwarfs him in production per game, has had a much higher peak, is one of the best playoff performers in the history of the game. All Gonzalez has over him is longevity.

    Current State of the O Line

    My belief is people are going to be shocked by how much scheme, coaching and QB play made the line look worse than they were last year.

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    It's the thing Brady did better than anyone and what allowed him to never be counted out in games. If you can attack the intermediate middle of the field, they can't play zone against you and force you to go 10 plays to score. You can get chunks everywhere.

    Barmore stays a Patriot: 4 years/up to $92 million extension

    If Maye is as good as some of us believe he could be, their window will last until his retirement. Is he's not, money won't buy you a contender.

    Barmore stays a Patriot: 4 years/up to $92 million extension

    I think he'd get significantly more in the open market if his 2024 replicated last year. Very happy with this deal, they have the money, no reason to have this hanging over the team and player.

    Tanner Houck 2024

    You're doing bWAR? Because by fWAR Houck leads Blanco 1.4 to 0.6. bWAR take Runs Allowed into its formula, while fWAR takes FIP. Houck has 10 runs allowed, though only 7 earned, while Blanco has 6 runs allowed. That's likely accounting for the difference. fWAR being more predictive and bWAR more...

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    People conveniently forget just how much "Mac faded down the stretch and couldn't carry his weight when the schedule got tougher" was a HUGE conversation going into 2022. There's this perception that he had this clean unassailable rookie year when reality is even then fans and media had doubts.

    R6/193 Joe Milton - Paradise Lost or Found?

    No coaching staff is getting a freak like this and converting him to a TE before trying their best to figure out if there's a 0.001% chance he puts it together as a QB. The athletic profile is insane, it's Cam Newton+. Of course, if he's clueless then you look into your option.
