He’s settled down a bit, the kid has some nasty pitches when he’s on.

I know it will course correct over the course of the season, but just baffling this is your game 2 starter.  Of course, Ranger is hurt again (and probably not in shape).

He's going to the bullpen in August, at the latest... when Painter comes up.

You are moving goal posts. The comment I replied to was about why some fans are underwhelmed with Jordan Davis and they would complain less about him if he were a lower draft pick. I simply added more context about why fans would think he is underwhelming. Everything you just said is why fans would complain about him. He was traded up for, taken with a premium pick, and has underwhelmed for his draft slot and projection because you can’t change what he has done thus far. 

You’re arguing just to argue and changing the topic completely. 

No.  I’m framing the assessment of Davis from the perspective of Fangio and Siriani and Roseman.  How we as fans assess a player is irrelevant.  We have no say in the matter.

The comment ended with an observation about  Davis’ value.  We as fans have no actual ability to act on a player’s value.  We can voice our pleasure or displeasure, but that is very different than value … and further it has absolutely no effect on the player’s value.

I added as an edit to my comment the language in the italics paragraph copied and pasted below.  That added text answers what we are doing here.  We are passengers on the train.

I think people would complain less about Davis if he weren't a first round pick. A 3rd rounder for that role is fine and with the big paydays coming up for several players, it lets the Eagles move on from him after his rookie deal to keep things cheap. 

There was nothing in there that had to do with his value. The last comment was IF he was a 3rd round pick he’d be fine for his current role and you could not extend him and it’d be fine. 

You make this place exhausting sometimes and you are twisting yourself into a pretzel now. If fans opinions have no affect, what does that make theorizing someone else’s opinions? You are literally giving an opinion about an opinion.

Drilling down into that comment, Kinnard and Pryor are too old to ever be part of the succession plan for RT after Lane, which was part of what I heard GreenDestiny laying out as part of the plan for the referenced OT.  Keegan because of size will never be part of that succession plan either.  @just relax may tell me I’m wrong, but I think Keegan’s NFL future is only as an IOL.

With that said, you bring up a good argument for not acting on GreenDestiny’s option.  It may possibly be more optimal to groom Keegan for that RG succession.

Dude, I am being sarcastic in relation to your responses to me earlier this week when I said  interior OL is a need and your were asking what I had against Keegan and why I didn't trust Stoutland. 

new design for Tua this year.

Flyers ruining their shot at a top 5 pick by winning meaningless games is just so on brand. Still time to lose this one, but it's Buffalo 

Only good thing is they have MM on the correct line and letting him play offensive hockey.  He has 5 points in the 2 games since Torts was fired.

Nah.  I drive the train.  I only allow the illusion that the team has its own will.  Its really always been me.

Im a broken record, because since that Bootleg Football offensive gems, I keep watching anything I can on Noel, Higgins, and Harris. So here is another on on Noel and these guys make a pretty interesting comp for him- Christian Kirk, and Tyler Lockette

I know WR doesnt seem like an immediate need. But at 32, any of those 3 WRs can easily seem like the BPA. 

 

The 6ers worked their way to within about 6 that quarter, and also ended the quarter down by 21. That was a very nice quarter for the tank.

Why do you watch that dreck... hoping for a loss?

yes.

I didnt watch much of the season. I couldnt handle it. But I regained interest a few weeks ago when the tank race really kicked in to gear.

Honestly, not only that reason to watch, but these young guys are more fun. 

Now you wonder if Justin Edwards can really be a player- he was at one point a big time prospect.

And how much can guys like Grimes and Butler contribute next year? Can they even retain Grimes who is a RFA? Should be be a starter? I am excited thinking about a back court of Maxey, McCain, and Grimes. Thats a lot of scoring, and really good 3 point shooting like we havent seen in years and years. 

 

One wall of my almost finished front room. All different frames cause they were all purchased at different times, at some point I'll probably blow a bunch of money to standardize them all. Still have a bunch of stuff to put up.

The Jordan spectre print is fantastic 

Higgins comps- Allen Robinson, Michael Pittman, "Marvin Jones in Nico Collins body".

My comp- Tee Higgins

very nice.

I do love that Barkley picture. I got that and then the Hurts one was released. And I thought that one was cool too. And now theres the DeJean one. But I always go back to that Barkley one as my favorite. 

I think it may be because of the snow that gives it a whole different aesthetic.

an RB chart for your perusing.

6ers loss is final. And THE NETS WON!!! 6ers in sole possession of the 5th spot now.

The whole second sentence is about value.  What do you think that second sentence is about?  We may have to agree to disagree.

Regarding making things exhausting, if that is what is happening then I am accomplishing what I am setting out to do … cause people to ponder and question and explore possibilities.  That is how we all learn.

Those guys didnt do a highlights and comparison video for Tre Harris. But here is a fun chart to check out. And look at him on this chart with all that green.

Also fun fact for @Random Reglar. Tre Harris was the QB for Malik Nabers in high school.

 

6ers officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Check out this gem!
