Re: Stop calling Sammy Watkins a stud

Pretty sure the Bills not picking up the option had more to do with guaranteed money if Watkins got hurt (which he has a penchant for doing) than anything else, I'm confident they'll still make a big push to re-sign him when the season is over, if not just franchise him for the time being

Re: Top Offseason Buys

Jamison Crowder for a contending team. Oof, no thanks, he's due for a bunch of TD regression, they just spent money on pryor, doctson is healthy now and that offense still goes through reed, crowder could be a wr2 in a 12 team ppt league but I think that's about his ceiling and he's going for secon...

Re: TE Premium Rookie Draft Top 12

personally I would've taken Engram or Jones over Ross but that's just me, his injury history worries me too much and he's gonna be second fiddle to Green for at least a few more years

Re: Brandin Cooks Value Check?

I think Cooks is in for a few down years. This feels like a Patriots team doing everything in its power to win one last title. They traded away basically their whole draft for vets. That tells me to not trust Brady/Belicheck past this year. Brady's arm strength has been falling off for years and I ...

Re: Brandin Cooks Value Check?

Not going to lie, I'm not a fan of using a stat that is so simple to decide who is a teams "WR1" especially when drew brees completed passes to like 17 different guys or something crazy like that. We will see how Thomas and Snead do without cooks absorbing all of the coverage. I dont thin...

Re: Brandin Cooks Value Check?

What do you mean wr1 as in top target? Like the writer of the article called drew brees and asked who was the first read for every play? Whoever got the most targets in a game? In the season? By trying to follow brees' eyes to guess the first read? Thomas had 121 targets last year Cooks had 117 Tho...

Re: Top Offseason Buys

I see I've hit a nerve. I'm not interested in taking down your straw men, so I'll move on. I do want to point out to anyone else reading this: I never said ~7 targets, as has been put in my mouth. I simply said that I agreed with him; that he'll get Dez*/Sammy targets at least. (I even said at leas...

Re: Brandin Cooks Value Check?

Thomas had the 7th best catch rate in tight coverage (less than a yard of separation) and 7th among WR1s in yard of separation per target so I'm pretty confident he can handle some double coverage (which he was getting a pretty good amount of last year) http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000078626...

It's pretty much only based on double coverage so I couldn't tell you that

Re: Brandin Cooks Value Check?

This is what I am looking forward to. You cannot exactly focus on stopping Cooks and let Gronk run free. If you focus on stopping Gronk, Cooks can turn any play into a TD. There was no other weapon to take away the focus from Cooks in New Orleans - he was the weapon. I mean are we just forgetting a...

Re: Top Offseason Buys

How does the addition of Marrone not setup ARob for 150+ targets? Is ARob no longer the lead WR there? Because that's the only way he doesn't get ~150 targets. They won't be top 5 passing attempts again. I don't expect them to be anywhere close to that. Their offseason moves suggest that they want ...

Re: Brandin Cooks Value Check?

I would just like to add that in NO, Cooks was clearly the threat opposing defenses were concerned with resulting in him being the focus of their attention. With Gronk, teams will have to pick their poison. I think Cooks going deep in single coverage is a recipe for huge production. There are a few...
