Midland, Michigan just had a couple of dam breaks that for some unthinkable reason were to be managed by HOAs that just ignored them. 10,000 people ordered to evacuate. Going to be close to ten feet of water just washing a town away. 

There's a nuclear powered DOW chemical plant downstream of it. 

During a pandemic. 

You couldn't write that.

Michigan is screwed. See how high numbers jump today.

Not to worry, Trump is on Twitter talking about Michigan - but not about the virus or the dams breaking. He's raging about "voter fraud" because the state is mailing out absentee ballots.

And then there is the virus, that we are supposed to be discussing

Oh it's very much topical.  If we're going to safely conduct an election in November amidst a pandemic we should consider vote-by-mail.  I know I am but that's because anybody can vote absentee in North Carolina and you don't need a reason.

I think the chief executive of the United States having a sloppy meltdown over it is germane.

The Whole Country Voting by mail is a bad-idea. I understand there is a few circumstances that is happens.  However, that is another topic.

It's not going to happen that way because states run their own elections and can make their own rules, and there are several (trigger warning, politics) who are ideologically opposed to letting everybody who is eligible to vote do so.  The federal government can't force a state to adopt universal vote by mail any more than it can force them to stop.  The only way the entire country would vote that way would be if all 50 states decided to by their own volition.

You are correct in that the 3 sources you list so left leaning that I do not consider them credible...but you guys say that about fox, so I’ll consider that even up

what is surprising is that those states you note allow vote by mail, and that no legal action has been taken...not by the states themselves, but by outsiders, and yes by the RNC specifically 

but I will also admit this goes both ways, as we saw down east in the recent congressional race
 

absentee voting is one thing, complete vote by mail just invites huge fraud, on both sides

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
