because there are a lot of other things in play that stats can't document or chart...this isn't baseball where there's a one-on-one matchup between pitcher and hitter with definable characteristics over a very large sample size...it's a team game with a lot going on at any given second

Fcking this ^

This is what I can't stand about all the advanced stats gurus. There's a whole game within the game that cannot be measured by your precious analytics.

Allen
Darnold
Mayfield
Rosen


For me Rudolph goes before Jackson anyway

- Stripes77


I like Rudolph MUCH better,
but Jackson will likely go top15
Someone is gonna fall in love with his athleticism & think they can fix the accuracy issues

Of course the water doesn't help

If you used sunblock like someone who's not taunting the sun saying it won't give you cancer you wouldn't be burning right now.

Wrap yourself in a towel, it'll help.

Also, how do you not smell it before you start slathering it on? It's got such a strong smell you can smell it when your neighbor puts it on, FFS.

Bro you’re not gonna get cancer from catching the sun .

I can understand if you’re just laying down and tanning but I don’t do that I put that suntan lotion on And do my workouts

Also, O'Reilly got 2.3% of the votes... So like 10 of his friends that he let's drive his truck...

I'm having trouble finding how O'Reilly is under rated.

He's paid as a top 20 NHL forward. He was traded for a boatload, and gets the ice time of a franchise center.

How is he under rated?

- sbroads24


How is he still alive with how much you've beaten that horse?

Read more. I said why should I take a players opinion over data itself, not the nerds just the numbers that are the result of his play. If they did an upper management poll and ROR was ranked top 5 underrated that would be something I’d be interested in as those are people actually responsible for player evaluation and roster construction

Perhaps we should all reed more and stop with the dbag tone on posts that all too frequently takes place?

He just has that vibe about him like that toilet scrubber Brandon Lemieux

Casey on the other hand just seems to love Buffalo with his actions at the world juniors And when people talk about us

I included everyone in the comment to not single individuals out who are well known for constantly having that tone.

Edit: Also, nice try.

He didn't pick him so ultimately that'd be on Murray if we were going to place blame but this is part of the risk in draft college players.

I don't know that i'd blame either TM or JB if he didn't sign. Same as the Cal Petersen situation.

CLE Plain Dealer says Allen "alleviated concerns about his 56.2 completion % at Wyoming and kept himself firmly in the conversation for the #Browns No. 1 overall pick."

it's not like it was anything slick lol. There's been plenty of condescension from everyone here and yes that does include you. I personally don't have a problem with it. It comes with internet anonymity and very different opinions on sports. you group these people together and it happens.

Ok, how many wars have we won with Ryan O’Reilly?

Literally the fewest of any team since he’s been here.

**Im not blaming him solely for this**

He’s an average 2nd line center.

Not the problem, shouldn’t be a core peice

Yeah I’m serious it’s not like I’m laying down roasting like a turkey

That’s basically saying everyone will catch cancer because they work out outside and the sun hits them
