I think to an extent people are not understanding the value of assets as they treat all 1st rounders as essentially equal but also that is much easier for people to tell others to overpay for something than it is to do yourself. But, I thought the parents basement and not owning assets part was simply not nice and disrespectful. We all are a family here.
Im pretty sure every single person understands that the second overall pick is more valuable than even the 5th overall pick let alone a pick in the 20s. That’s what makes his point bad, then tack on the humble brag and insults and it’s a real stew.
Or some people are so infatuated with getting Watson that they will attack any suggestion that its not the right move for us.
I know this is about Watson but at this point I’d be calling the Jags and offering the bounty of picks to take Lawrence instead of Watson. He’s going to be a better version of Watson as a pro and he’ll be on a rookie deal for 5 years. Offer Meyer #2 + #23 + #34 for #1 and he would get Fields who he recruited. He has stated that HE feels they are close as prospects as well.
Are you for fucking real? This is sports and not 'real-life' Going off your analogy though I'd ask Sam for 3/4 of his money back, Mosley for all of his back the work-shy cunt and as for that useless traffic cone of a CB Trumaine Johnson well, he actually should return all of his money and 20m on top compensation for being a conman. I have read some shit on here but man, your post takes the biscuit.
You do realise that argument works both ways right? I see you as an attack dog the other way around though, anybody who supports the Watson trade are fair game., I mean I don't even know how you could type that post and not think, fuck me am I being a massive hypocrite here? The answer to that is you are btw. I am open to all scenarios, even Sam coming back, if pushed I would say I am on the fence but my legs are dangling on Watson's side of it.
People think Watson's choice of teams is the biggest obstacle to the Jets getting Watson. JD is likely a bigger obstacle. There is no way he is going to trade his plan for one player. We get Watson on the cheap or we walk away and I don't think they are giving it any more consideration then that. He knows not to spend on a QB this early in a rebuild.
I wish I didn't, life was easier without a mortgage, not that my parents had a basement but certainly sitting in the back bedroom playing on the computer not paying any fucking bills bar some token keep money of about £30 out of £250ish. Yeah, life was tough, going out and spending it on beer, music and computer games. Now it is, can I get a new PS4 game? No! Sigh
There is a difference between back and forth debate, even if it keeps going in circles, and slinging personal attacks and public shaming the people who disagree with you.
He is right in some regard. What is the opportunity cost of capital? Will the asset (Watson) provide a greater cash flow stream (wins) than what the expected return would be in the financial market (draft picks). Douglas is no different than a CEO who is sitting on a pile of cash and needs to figure out how to invest it.
For fear of repeating myself How do you know this? Unless you are JD which is an interesting theory. The second bold is your masterplan is it not? Interesting you interfuse your own ideal on a supposition that is what JD's plan is as well.
I hate this idea. Mainly because it makes me realise that we have to give up 2 extra picks because we didn’t tank properly.
To be fair while the process is consistent the outcomes are much more volatile in the world of sports. If I was to buy a $500,000 house I could look at a similar property/transaction and have a pretty good idea as to what my expected rate of return will be. In the NFL that is difficult to quantify. Bad investments occur when the rate of return falls below your expectations. If you were expecting your houses valuation to increase by 15 percent in 10 years and it only increased 5 percent that would be disappointing. You probably could have invested that money elsewhere.
