About this Star v Short BS

Short is the better Player, pure and simple. He was the correct choice to keep if you had to pick between the two.  Anyone else besides me notice that our Defense fell apart after he went on IR? that's not a coincidence the presence that KK brought to the D-line was sorely missed the moment we lost him. Our Defense pretty much went from Elite to garbage with that one loss this season.

Star is today what he has always been, a big immovable run stuffer in the middle that gets the occasional QB pressure. His purpose has forever been to eat up 1-2 blockers and not move, and open lanes for the Linebackers. he has done nothing but that his entire career,  when your defense knows the offense isnt gonna get any push up the middle because he is there that is a great weapon to have.

Ideally we would have kept both, but we had to choose because of the Colossal mistake that was the Matt Kalil contract, which was David Gettleman's fault.  Hurney pretty much had to choose between the lesser of two evils and he chose wisely in keeping Short.

Short sucks!!! Star is the better player. Short is a stats player. Star is the kind of players that make everyone around him better. There’s a reason why Star was the 14th pick in the draft and would’ve went higher if not for his heart condition. Short went in the 2nd for a reason. He lived off Star’s impact on the dline and had “one”, “1”, “uno” fuggn good season!

I assume you laugh at your own “jokes” since no one else does?

I never joke, I’m always 100% serious and the internet is a super serial place! 
 

also fua it’s no secret you pretty much hate me and have for a while.

the difference between me and you is I never cared about your opinion but you care about mine. Don’t ask me why. Maybe it’s because my responses and opinions are more thought out and balanced than your general run of the mill super sensitive reactionary posts on here.

I don't think Short sucks but I think any run of the mill DT that plays the type of DT Short plays could generate Sacks playing next to Star because Star creates chaos by clogging it all up

Not to say you're wrong or you're right, but I just checked Buffalo's DT's and Jordan Phillips, drafted 2 drafts later than Short but in the same round (2) had 9.5 sacks playing next to Star this year, so there is some anecdotal evidence to support the notion. Also that's 9.5 sacks this season with a career total of 15, so getting more production this year than the rest of his career combined.

Short is the Peanut Butter and Jelly ..

Star is the Bread ..

Doesn't really matter if you have Peanut Butter and Jelly without the Bread

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
