Justin Fields at 3 is absolutely the worst
I was listening to some stupid talk on a channel about how he will now be the big thing with all he is about to get around him.

But I think he is going to a bust in the end.

Because running is counted like it's a RB instead of counted like passing yards. It's retarded and has ruined fantasy football.
You wouldnt get a #1 RB for any of those QBs anyway.

Let’s not pretend fantasy football has ever been a true reflection of real football value.

Oh shit. I’ve gotta read better. Didn’t even put 2 and 2 together to ascertain this is fantasy. My bad. This actually makes sense now. Mea Culpa.

All QB yards should be counted the same. Currently it's something like - throw for 400 yards and if that's 8 points well some other QB can get 8 pts just for 80 [rushing] yards. It's fucking retarded no matter the exact scoring settings.

Robert Saleh left the 49ers DC job to become HC of the Jets. Mike McDaniel left the 49ers OC job to become HC of the Miami Dolphins. Martin Mayhew left the 49ers Vice president of player personnel, (assistant GM), job to become GM of the Commanders. DeMeco Ryans left the 49ers DC job to become HC of the Texans. Ran Carthon left the 49ers Director of player personnel, (assistant GM), job to become GM of the Titans.

All were promoted. None followed a former boss. The 49ers deserve the picks.

I was legitimately asking, since I don't follow the Niners. I still think the picks should be given for the hire, not the loss but it all washes out in most cases.

8 pts for 400 yards? Weird league. Most are 1 pt per 20 or 25 passing yards.

I understand one new proposed rule change involves catering to Thursday Prime football telecasts by flexing their games late in the season for playoff ramifications. One billion has to buy something and besides, Al Michels is pissed. This rule change also changes the current rule of one Sunday to Thurday turnaround game per team to TWO GAMES in a season.

The league clearly cares about player health with this one.

Load management, HERE WE COME.

Just another change for money that pisses off everyone else, including the fans. Hell, I don't even like when the Bills are in prime time; I want the ritual of the 1pm Sunday start.

Have they established how much lead time would be required to flex from Sunday to Thursday? Would imagine it would have to be a week or two in advance to allow for travel changes, practice schedule changes, etc.

I've read 15 days.

Prime wants a Dallas game thus handcuff them to two Thursday events counting the annual TG game.

Guess YTube will be the only option for the Red Zone. Guess I'll give YouTube a whirl this season.

Not sure why? RedZone with Scott Hansen is an NFL Network channel, available thru cable providers as well as YouTubeTV.

Eagles drafted a center with pick 51 last year. What the fuck is this chart doing with 0.0?
Not sure what the percentages reflect, since they seem to have value attached? Rams have drafted guards too, yet a 0%.

TG is a separate entity IMO. Not exactly fond of the Bills being roped into it, adds unnecessary drama to the family meal lol.

sounds like a personal problem.

Ratings rule. ...Dallas will be doing two yearly.

It's much easier to have a game you don't really care about on in the background than trying to focus thru the crosstalk of those family members not paying attention. Can't really emotionally invest in the game as you normally would.

So called "America's Team" should be required to be on TG, just like that other "America's Team" the Lions (?) lol.
