Exactly. A lot of these teams are handicapping themselves tying up way too much cap space into QBs that aren't good enough to justify it. You're better off building up a better roster around a guy on a rookie deal.

That's not really a better path if you look at the last 10 years of drafts. Lots of high draft pick busts. The issue is that if you are a team like Philly, you basically make this loaded team a cellar dweller or middle of the pack team immediately by getting rid of a guy like Hurts and not being able to replace them. 

You end up like Las Vegas, basically. 

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Everyone thinks their 2nd tier guy might be the one to elevate themselves to being elite but truthfully most never make that leap.

Nah the main disadvantage for Buffalo in snow would be their inability to pass the ball like usual. Ravens don't rely on the pass like the Bills do.

agree to disagree man, not gonna bother continuing to go back and forth

Just went and looked it up, the Ravens also had more passing yards than the Bills this year.

There really is no logical argument for the snow helping the Ravens more than the Bills.

When one team has more passing yards and a speed/agility running QB than the team with the power running QB, a heavy snow game is clearly going to give the advantage to the Bills, no matter how much it could help Henry's power running game.

What massively paid non-elite QBs are winning SBs? Don't worry, I'll wait. LOL 

The Niners didn't win one but they came damn close with my model.
