I was trying to be nice, and only post ones I thought most of us would agree on, but I’d have him around 20th at best myself.

Seriously Josh Allen, i would rather Dak if it was me. The playoffs last season did not show well for Josh and imo is the main piece holding the Bill's back from being a true contender for a title.

I wouldn't take any of the old timers over him either, they're all severe injury risks.

Tannehill's also iffy just because we don't know if last season was the start of a trend, or an outlier.

Seriously? You’re a cowboy homer yet you’d not take Brady or Brees over Dak? Now you’re just getting to be a bit ridiculous. Brady could easily get you to the Super Bowl this year which is also why I prefaced my list with the statement that it was for this year only.

Allen also didn’t have much in the way of receivers, and now has Stefon Diggs so I think his numbers improve this year. Plus ideally my list was meant as guys I’d take over Dak if they were being placed on the Cowboys. Allen could definitely do more damage there.

Don’t make me put you through a table.

Allen has a much higher upside/ceiling than Dak. I think Josh would be the first to tell you he wants that 2nd half of the wildcard game back. He was a young QB who will learn a great deal from that experience. He made big strides from year one to year two, and he will make big strides from year two to year three. He’s as physically gifted a young QB that you will find in the NFL with the work ethic to go with it.

I'd take A-Rod over both of them, can only imagine what his cannon arm and mobility would do in Dallas behind our offensive line.

Cut ties for speaking his opinion, what he believes to be true? What opinions are allowed and aren't and who is the arbiter? I thought it was inspiring to see athletes use their platform to bring attention to the ugliness of America.

Got a cool SoFi Oculus shirt at work today.
Close to the finish line!

Jackson spoke out of turn and doesn't even realize he was wrong. He might lose his job because of it but that's how it is when you work in a multi-billion dollar business with strong ties to sponsor dollars.

You certainly take issue with me a lot don’t you? I don’t believe I said anything about what he said. But judging from the teams statement they are not very happy with him. Wouldn’t shock me at all if the Eagles decided they are better off giving their young WR’s more playing time, and he gave them ammo to get out of the contract.

I don't take issue with you at all. I just had questions in regards to how this squares with athletes being "inspiring" and bringing attention to the "ugliness of America" was all

I don’t believe there is a place for anti-Semitic thoughts in this world. I’m not sure how those kind of comments correlate to athletes using their likeness to promote social equality. It’s quite the opposite in my mind. I’m a bit confused to your line of questioning connecting the two.

[El Rey]

I don't think 99.99999999% of folks will hop on board that anti-semitism train with DeSean but he's posting his opinion, what he believes to be true, in regards to racial/social matters. I just thought it was inspiring to see athletes speak up on social issues and bring attention to the ugliness of America (which to be fair, he inadvertently did)

Let’s hope he was sincere in his apology, because what he initially said was pretty concerning to say the least. When athletes speak up to help bring attention to racism, homophobia, sexism, etc. I find it to be be incredible inspiring. I must say though, when you see them posting anti-Semitic comments, I can’t find much positive to say about that. There is zero place for that in humanity.

John Brown had over 1k receiving yards last year....

Smoke had a good season for us last year for sure, but I think he will be better utilized as a #2 behind Diggs. Should really open things up in our offense.

But he sincerely thought he was bringing attention to racism and probably, sadly, inspired some of his social media followers

Eagles made him meet with a rabbi to educate himself.
