My suspicion is that he'll be more consistent as an overall player but have fewer splash plays.

The old "consistently good" vs "occasionally great" debate...

I tend to prefer the former but it's a case-by-case thing.

For sure. I think Burns on an already very good defense would be a really exciting player. But he's just not consistent enough, especially in the run game.  A good enough D could make up for that a little... In an average or bad D he's just a liability on a lot of plays.

Prime will be in NY it's lining up perfectly. Prime and his son in the biggest media market in the US. Storylines for days.

 

 

Father and Son take over NY. It's gonna be a circus. If you think Colorado was big wait till we see this shakes up the NFL.

To me, tanking is deliberately losing for draft position.  That isn't what appears to be happening - Daboll knows he's about to lose his job and his players just don't give a poo lol 

So the fact they don't care and aren't playing hard they are intentionally not trying to win?

Anybody else sick of the "here we go" thing?

I think the jury is still out on whether getting those two counts as "winning".

I've never bought into the idea that teams intentionally tank or that the NFL is rigged.

People lose their jobs, and sometimes their careers, during losing seasons. I have a hard time believing that anybody in the NFL is noble enough to risk that sort of thing "for the good of the team".

Sometimes, teams, coaches and players are just legitimately terrible.

12 men on the field. 12 penalties for 85 yards. 14 missed tackles...sensing a trend?

The guys in the game actually seem like they're trying to help prove my point right now
