I don't like the straight line speed argument for him either. It looks like Daniels has very good wiggle as a runner to me as well. There were plenty of cut ups from when he won the Heisman were his weaving ability and lateral movement is excellent. He seems very good at making guys miss and miss big in open field. If he was in NFL street his "O Moves" rating would be great. What he seems to lack is that protective instinct to finish a run by protecting himself rather than running until he is taken down. You can only bob n weave so long before somebody gets an angle. Lamar is really great at that. You rarely see Lamar get in car crashes not only b/c he is elusive, but b/c when he gets what he can get out of a play, he is more than willing to eat dirt at the end of a run before someone can lay the wood on him. He will even eat dirt in the backfield if he does not see anything there. This is a learnable skill, one Daniels has to acquire, and that will be the difference between a good run and a good run that ends in a car crash.

Its funny how Maye and Daniels get compared so often to Allen and Lamar when the latter two could barely hit the broadside of a barn in college. They are both light-years ahead of those two as college passers. Allen and Lamar were legit horrible accuracy-wise. There is more to it than completion % but Maye and Daniels put up 63% and 72% respectively. Allen and Lamar were 56% and 59% in their final college years. Neither Maye nor Daniels need to have the monstrously uncommon accuracy gains seen from Allen and Lamar to be successful in the NFL, because they are not the garbage tier passers those two were coming into the league. If Maye and Daniels improve just a little, they will be fine. They are starting from a much higher floor, the distance they have to climb is effectively much shorter. If either Maye or Daniels had the passing chops of college Allen or Lamar I wouldn't want to touch either w/ a ten foot poll b/c the odds of them improving to the degree needed to be successful is nearly a statistical impossibility.

Carroll Sues Trump for Defamation in Civil Rape Trial
FootballZombie replied to China's topic in The Tailgate
Even if a short stint in jail would work in his favor, its not endlessly repeatable. Once the first judge does it, the next judge wont be afraid to do it. And if the the first judge gives 4 days, the next judge will give 2 weeks. Then it increases going forward. Every judge gets a shorter fuse, and leeway to give Trump a longer timeout. Trump aint going to jail for a month sentence, it would devastate his campaign, so eventually, you neuter the tactic. Then he has to be a quiet sit-in-the-corner loser in court and nothing more. Like arresting him, its short term boon that lets him grift some more, but it corrects itself in the long term. -
"Its not honorable and I don't respect it" is a descriptor I have never heard before. lol Also, how did NE go from "say nothing" Billy B to "My SSN number is xxx-xx-xxxx" Mayo. unreal.

Where applicable, yes. Some things you take a leap of faith on, but you don't give credit beforehand. Gruden is wrong in saying EB didn't forget what he was doing after his stint in KC when he was never doing the things he did here. That is illogical. If we are hiring a first time HC, there are some aspects of the job that you have not seen those candidates do. So you try your best to do find good fits but there is still an element of unknown.

I mean, it might not just be the per year money. If Tepper stacks on an unreasonable number of contract years, you asking Ben Johnson to turn down guaranteed generational wealth. Who says no to a Jon Gruden 10 year special? and we aint dumb enough to give that. and as per the EB/Gruden stuff, he never looked good in KC in the role we gave him here. He was not a "true OC". He never installed his own offense there and never called plays. We brought him here to do things he had never demonstrated on an NFL level and he sucked at it.
