I mean... its pretty much impossible for him not to be a deadbeat dad. You spend half the season traveling around the Country as is. Couple that with the fact that you have three kids with three different women, meaning they don't live together, means its pretty much impossible for you to spend...

"Everyone else" don't have three kids with three different women. There's a reason why the stereotypes of "absent fathers" continues to be perpetuated. Because there's a culture of men that still exist that think that's "cool".

Not heard anything reported on his arbitrary "price tag". That shit tends to not matter because he can't pay himself.

I mean, in this case, that's pretty much impossible. It's OTAs. They can't hit each other, they can't tackle, they're not even wearing full pads, they can't be on the field for more than two hours a day, and they can't be in the facility for more than six. Everybody's "practice style" looks the...

1. We've talked about the trade scenarios before, but moving Bateman this year doesn't make a lot of sense financially. Doesn't create much cap savings, pushes dead $ into next year (when you have a ballooning cap hit for Lamar and less ability to restructure), and doesn't really help your...

I think in a better receiving class, or a more "normalized" one to one's prior, Tate goes nowhere near as high as he did. Most likely a teens to 20s guy. I certainly don't think the Ravens evaluation of WRs is good. I'm suggesting that the teams that pretty consistently beat you have the same...

Depends on the team. Mid-level players on good teams, like the Ravens, frequently do well when it comes to things like FA. Mid-level players on teams like the Titans, in recent years, not so much.

OK, but this idea that fans overvalue their own WRs is also true of fans overvaluing other teams WRs. I think you already knew you're overvaluing the Titans WR core before you posted it. I'm giving zero credibility to rookies because neither one of us has any vague clue about whether they're...

Correct, most teams do have a Bateman. And for most teams, he's their #2 WR. Where are the names? Who's the #2 WR (or even the #1) on the Bills, Patriots or Chiefs, and what metric did you use to determine they were better or worse than Bateman? Same exercise for the Steelers, the Texans, etc...

They're already an average WR room. Fans haven't done the research on what league-wide average WR rooms look like to be able to afford the opinion they have.

So a) they didn't have him last year and b) he's not a #1 WR. He's a strong #2. If he were a #1 WR, he'd still be in Chicago, on a team where he doesn't cost that much and has a rookie QB.

Yeah so couple problems with this: 1. The Pats haven't traded for Brown yet, and the Pats would jizz all over themselves to acquire the entire WR core of the Ravens in exchange for the entire Pats receiving core (with Brown). Brown is not significantly better than Flowers by any possible...

So I generally agree with this. I'd mostly just point out that this entire paragraph applies to most of the high-end teams in the AFC. The Chiefs, Bills, and Patriots don't have a league average #1 WR on their roster, and don't have a #2 WR better than Bateman on their roster either. I'd say...

Absent some sort of a trade, a Hopkins-level player is the ceiling for the vet addition. And that player isn't taking snaps or targets away from Flowers or even Bateman.

Correct, they weren't. But what they made clear, as other teams have, especially in the AFC, is that you can win Lombardi trophies, make countless AFCG, etc., without having a stud WR core. Zay's certainly capable of 160 targets. It would just require a passing offense that is operating at much...

So a) if JSN is a one man passing game, then so is Flowers. Flowers is a 30% target share guy. Ravens passing game is heavily funneled through him. The major difference between JSN and Flowers in terms of usage is that Seattle simply threw the ball more. b) Buffalo has fallen short plenty of...

Biggest question marks for me are Doyle and the Oline. If they're both good, it's a top 10 offense all day. Borderline top 5. Plethora of weapons is nice but doesn't really correlate with Lombardi trophies. Neither of the teams who just played in the SB have weapons that are are significantly...

Makes perfect sense though. You're projecting 2024 passing volume. In 2024, Bateman/Agholor/Wallace averaged 7 targets/game. I think the 2026 group will do slightly more, while absorbing some of the targets from Likely. Still think you'll see heavier TE and RB usage than you're expecting. Which...

I don't view it as a huge deal. Nothing is everything. It's just another time period where there's the option to do more, and that option is accepted or declined for whatever reason he sees fit. Me personally thinks its more of the "if I had an extension I'd probably be there" mentality, but...

Sure, but that's in much lower passing volume offenses. If you're projecting an increase in pass attempts, doesn't make sense why Bateman's would go anywhere but up, unless he's being displaced as the #2 by a rookie. And there's pretty much no vet available that would slide ahead of him...
