NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[trojanfan12]

Just an FYI, with a game last night there are no more weekends (well, Thurs-Mon) without football until February.

The world is right again!!!

I'm kinda nervous about my Trojans this season.

I think it's the "make it or break it" season for Helton.

They have plenty of talent, they seem to have the coaching staff right and it should be a "normal" season.

In short, he's out of excuses.

wow....thinking maybe the Browns should not have waited to sign Baker.

Bills’ Josh Allen agrees to 6-year extension for reportedly $258 million

The Bills are locking up their star quarterback.

That’s a ton of cash. Good for Allen. Gonna make their cap situation tough going forward.

It will, but think it starts after 2022 season. A little time to get things in order.

Yes, they should. Make him prove that last season wasn't an anomaly.

 

[DJ]

Carr will play this season out and then walk and we trade for A-Rod.

 

[dtgold88]

I mean, something to be said for that, but Allen has only had 1 season worthy of what he was paid.

No one is ever going to be sorry for paying a guy like Allen.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yeah. I like him too. I love the way he has worked and added on to his game. He’s night and day different from the guy we saw play early in his career.

I doubt they'll be sorry but just as likely Allen regresses as it would be Baker does at this point. Allen has been with same coach in same system for 3 years. Baker has a returning coach/system for first time in his career.

No doubt and I was way off on him. Didn't see inaccurate at Wyoming translating to the NFL. Have to think NYG, Denver and the Jets are kicking themselves for passing on him.

Like I said a long time ago…

The price is only going to go up the longer they wait.

Saw this on NFL live the other day.

Player A

W/L: 11-5

total QBR- 72.6


Player B

W/L: 11-5

total QBR: 72.2


Player A is TB12. Player B is Mayfield. Disclaimer- before anyone tries to take this outta context I'm not saying Mayfield is anywhere near TB12. Just that QBR's for last season were similar.

I never mentioned Baker. Yeah he went to my school and has talent, but he’s a douchbag.

Yep...last one usually gets the most. Only way it doesn't go up is if he regresses.

Baker has played better than expected every non-Freddie year going back to OU.

Definitely thought he was before and during the 2019 season. Seems to be growing up since then and think a lot has to do with having adults in charge.

Frat-boy Freddie was disaster. His lone year the team was at the top in penalties and yardage. Not sure where they ranked in those categories last year, but I'd bet it wasn't near the top like in '19.

He was douchebag-supreme his rookie year. What a different a competent HC like Stephanski makes.

I do think he has grown up a lot, but I’m not sure that kind of thing goes away completely. He plays better that way anyway.
