The National Football League

He seems objectively quite good, but he also seems very irritatingly religious and hard to like for other difficult to describe reasons.

Yeah, thatā€™s another way to put it. You really want someone better than a fringe top ten guy, but if you give him up, you will probably get someone worse.

Brady
Allen
Mahomes
Hebert
Burrow
Lamar
Dak
Rodgers
Russell
Stafford
Kyler
?Deshaun

Then we have his tier
Carr/Tannehill/Hurts/Cousins/ maybe a few others

I think if you put Carr on half the teams that you have up there he makes that tier.

For me, Carr is exactly the qb you want your division rivals to have.

Too good to bottom out the franchise and give them a shot at picking a guy thatā€™ll kill you for a decade, but not good enough to transcend and ever really scare you.

Interesting.

Could be so, although my gut reaction is this is an agent feeding a story to an ā€œinsiderā€ to spin the story a certain way to try and salvage a future for AB. If thereā€™s some type of forthcoming dispute or grievance over money, I assume the Bucs will be spinning also. Probably a situation where the truth lies somewhere in between? I donā€™t know.

I also canā€™t imagine that a coach can actually release a player by telling him on the sideline, mid-game, that he is ā€œcutā€.

few of the top QBā€™s were picked at the top of the drafts so that doesnā€™t matter at all

He didnā€™t exactly limp off the field.

I have no idea what goes down on an NFL sideline but it sounds like there is a process players need to follow if they are injured by going to the training staff and AB didnā€™t do this, just told his coach ā€œnah.ā€ So maybe AB really was injured but didnā€™t go through the staff, Bruce thought he was just being an insubordinate ass, and this is what happens.

The full list of AB craziness is such a fun read: https://twitter.com/2on1FFB/status/1220806503210213376

This is incredible

Yeah, this.

Reminder: NFL players literally have a phone number to get picked up for free at any time.

Especially shocking after the other guy (Riggs?) on the same team.

itā€™s not shocking whatsoever

I really canā€™t argue.

If the NFL were the sort of league to rig games, wouldnā€™t they have wanted Cincinnati to lose and Cleveland to win this week to set up an actual head-to-head battle for a division title in the last game of the season? Whatā€™s the week 18 game most worth watching from the perspective of both teams having something to significant to play for?

Iā€™d def drive myself, just not while intoxicated

who would think they need to rig something against the bengals.

AB went out the way I fantasize about tho. Once I can afford to retire, just keep collecting a check until they try to make me do something I donā€™t want then just be like ā€œnopeā€.
