I had a long conversation with someone from work about this yesterday

I think he gets in but he shouldn't be a first ballot

- Stripes77


I think that’s a fair assessment

The 2 SuperBowl wins over Brady are what puts him in
Otherwise, he’s probably more “hall of good”

How do the Sabres afford him? What do you give up in order to put him on this roster?

Real question.

- TC4145


If you move risto that’s 5m he’s looking for probably 8 or 9

We can trade Sherry and some other pieces to make room for him

But the decision would be do you keep Sam or him for the future core

Love me some ehlers but it’s hard to pass on a potential 50 score for the next seven years

Exactly

It's a shame Rivers has played for the Chargers and had all those fluke special teams weird losses because he is a first Ballot guy IMO

True
But Ehlers is nasty too
And about 40% cheaper

I have my doubts as this sounds like a Sega 95 move. Have to see. I am excited as I think the over/under is 91 pts.

Eichel over/under is 94 pts.

Has anyone seen where the 2 alleged Marner Offer Sheets came from?

Just curious.

No one else is either

Rivers might not even get in
Lots of QBs are putting up his stats now
And he’s not a top5 QB for his generation

Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Big Ben, Eli
All clearly ahead of Rivers, Matt Ryan & Stafford
who are the next tier imo

If they’re serious about scoring goals this would be the best move possible You have 2 lines that could be a constant threat every single time they’re on the ice

Vo -Casey - Sam

I'm right there with you.

I still feel a very Billsy loss coming to the Bengals. They really need to keep the approach of one game at a time, and improve game over game.

- thatsapickle


The Jets game was feeling very Billsy - but they overcame all those terrible turnovers.

Perhaps this group can begin to move away from what has always been an expectation of loosing.

Beating Tom Brady twice should automatically get You in but agreed on Not first ballot

Question, does Romo belong? They have near identical stats, but Romo wasn't dragged kicking and screaming to a SB by his defense... And I hate the Cowboys. Neither should get in.

The right side of the defense is crowded and we have so many that one of our acquisitions is playing the left side

Wild exaggeration, indeed

Romo Wasn’t clutch in playoff games Eli Manning took a giant team that was basically written off and took out a undefeated patriots team

I knew i forgot someone

Put Romo in the group with Rivers, Ryan & Stafford
They’re all on the edge with their talent & stats
But a general lack of playoff success could keep any (or all) of them out

Plus,
there’s 5 other QBs from their generation that are pretty much locks to get in
That will make it tougher for them too

Ristolainen is just another Jack Johnson / Kevin Shattenkirk

Nows the time to deal So we don’t have to deal with the disaster years soon

Your Pats hate is blinding you. He was insanely average and throwing the ball straight up in the air with a circus catch is hardly clutch. Tyree and the Defense were clutch.
