@HolmgaardJ88547@Nyanasaur Multiple Astros beat writers have said the Astros didn’t want Duran. They wanted Abreu. I’m not defending Breslow. He’s awful. But he could not have traded Duran for Paredes. He could have traded Abreu for Paredes and he was smart not to that.
@jazzmankyle@YbgFred@ByMarkDaniels Again, when they signed Gilmore he was UFA that they signed from another team. Unless you have evidence otherwise, that was the best deal he got. They were 9th in cash spending in 25 and 14th in 24 per Spotrac. Witherspoon isn’t signed either and SEA picked up his option.
@jazzmankyle@YbgFred@ByMarkDaniels You complained that they’ve never spent “premium top of the market money” on a CB. I demonstrated that you were wrong. Instead of wearing that, you shifted gears to total cash spending over BB’s time in charge, as if BB didn’t have total autonomy over the roster when he was here
@jazzmankyle@YbgFred@ByMarkDaniels They signed those guys to contracts that those players — and their agents — accepted at a time when they were among the top corners in the game. One was an unrestricted FA at the time. Neither of those deals was a discount. The structure doesn’t matter.
@missouriballs@cakeeater74@stoolpresidente He was great for 7 years. He didn’t have “longevity.” Saying he was just good for a long time is literally the exact opposite of what happened in his career. He was great for a short period.
@redsoxstats@josem250313@lilgustaffson I forget which one, but one of the Astros beat writers has said multiple times that the Astros wanted Abreu for Paredes, not Duran.
@mikefreemanNFL It’s pretty clear that after he told the first writer that he voted for BB either he realized — or one of the other people who voted against BB told him — that it was going to get out that he didn’t vote for BB at some point, so don’t lie about it.
@FantasyKash@elbow_a @PFF_Moo He was 10th in EPA and 13th in EPA per play for QB (among starters). He was 19th in EPA per play for QBs if you count guys like Willis, Snoop and Mac Jones who played a little and finished ahead of Nix on a per play basis.
@BuhlakeHarris@_molella@JoshiosTweets I said the league lacks great teams in response to the idea that the NFC West this year is some historically great division. It’s not. But good conversation. I appreciate being able to have a back and forth without it devolving to insults. Good luck in the playoffs.
@BuhlakeHarris@_molella@JoshiosTweets Of course it matters. But when you include that performance, he was still the best player in the league. You can try any approach you want. Against common opponents and teams with good pass D’s, Maye was better. It’s not even competitive.
@BuhlakeHarris@_molella@JoshiosTweets How did you read what I wrote and come to the conclusion that I was saying strength of schedule matters? I said those teams are good not great. They’re not complete. They’re very good on one side of the ball. Seattle’s O is average and SF’s D is awful.
@BuhlakeHarris@_molella@JoshiosTweets I mean Seattle and SF both lost to Tampa and the Rams lost to Carolina and Atlanta. New England swept those team. They beat Carolina by 30 and Maye sat the whole 4th quarter. Stafford was awful in those games.
@BuhlakeHarris@_molella@JoshiosTweets SF has one of the worst defenses in the league. Seattle’s D is excellent, but their QB is Sam Darnold and beyond JSN their weapons are terrible. Their OL is mid. Overall the league lacks great teams this year. You act like 11 wins with a 17 game schedule is great. It’s not.
