No I'm not. Read some draft stuff.

Draft stuff? He’s an nfl player dude. Find me links of people who have. Watched his nfl games and thinks he has shitty vision. And undisciplined? Come on

Dude, he's played 6 games in the NFL. His draft eval is still relevant, you can't be that dense.

VISION

Lol nothing there says “shitty vision”. It’s making an observation that he can improve a thing or two, which obviously he can

Yeah an NFL.com article will say that about a prospect. Come on, get real. Can he improve? Sure. Is it likely? We'll see. Todd Gurley is the only recent example I can think of.

I liken RB vision to that of like QB accuracy. Some of it is innate.

I know you have an "I <3 Barkley"  tshirt, that's cool and all but you're letting it cloud this discussion. Barkley can be a dynamic offensive weapon but not be a top 10 RB. Some of this discussion is about, is his many negative plays worth the big play potential? What do you want/need/value in a RB. If it's consisteny, Barkley is not the rb for you.  He's the ultimate 19 carries for 20 yds, 20 carries for 100 yds type player. If you're ok with 19 sub par plays for the 1 HR than it's worth it. That is not what I value in a RB. I value consist positive plays, best way to keep the offense on schedule.

No I’m not saying it’s word for word going to say “shitty vision” but if it said “his vision is really poor” then you’d have a point. That article just points out he needs to improve a few things like get more north and south. That’s not saying he has poor vision come the fuck on. 

I am not a huge barkley fan at all. Fuck PSU. I just know he’s a really, really good once in a generation back and I just heard you say he sucks and has shitty vision and that’s just dumb as fuck 

Barry Sanders has a lot of negative plays. But aside from that, give Barkley almost any other line in the NFL and he would decrease those negative plays tenfold. I think he leads the NFL in 1st tackle avoidance this year...it just happens that seems to be in the backfield every play.

Yeah I didn’t even mention that but that’s a great point—if you watch the games you’ll see why he’s had so many negative yards. It’s not because of shitty vision lol. He breaks so many first and second tackles but still those runs might go for only 2-3 yards. A 2-3 yard run when it should have been a 4 yard loss is a good run. But it shows up on the stat sheet as a 2 yard run and idiots like COA cherry pick it to back their agenda.

Can’t start Goff in that snowstorm right? My backup is Baker  😬  do I make that change?

What did you end up doing? If you started baker, you're not allowed to start him ever again.

Started baker. He will be dropped Tuesday morning. 

Great day to play against Hill in 2 leagues. Yay me. 

Should I start Goff or Brees this week??

I’m leaning Goff because the Dallas defense is pretty legit. 

I would guess they’ll finish with similar points but not playing Brees sounds too cute.

You take Brees and Goff outscores him 🤷🏻‍♂️...but if you take Goff and Brees throws for 360 with 4 TD and you’ll be kicking yourself

My league is dumb and playoffs have already started. That said, I lucked into good running backs and always seem to flex the wrong one. I have mccaffrey and Mixon who always start, and then Brieda and Michel are the ones that are really hard to decide on. 

Wilson has been good as qb, and now my receivers are A Brown and Cooper (kupp out and Jeffrey on bench). Reed at TE has been hit or miss and if he’s hurt this week I might be screwed.

Being the Thursday night game this week is really annoying too. 

I’d go Goff. He will tear up thelions

Should I go Michel vs.Minny

or Breida vs. Seattle

That’s tough. Both have a rough matchup vs the Vikings.
