The Buffalo Curse, a Mega-Mailbag, QB Roulette, and Week 3 Picks

PelisseroIt was kind of like, all right, the market we're all anticipating because of Caleb, because of Jaden Daniels pending health, you know, those guys are going to get huge deals.

PelisseroSo why would we take a deal at the mark where the market is now from Bryce's perspective, the Panthers probably wanted, you know, a little more information. Okay. The arrow's pointing up, but like, we got in the playoffs last year, we were still 8 -9, you know, it wasn't perfect. Well, if Bryce does this all year, it's going to be, you're going to be under a ton of pressure not to pay him whatever he wants.

PelisseroIt's like a, you know, bet on yourself type of a situation. They weren't going to be in the neighborhood of what Bryce would have wanted.

PelisseroIt could end up working out, but Cleveland's defense will be harder. Like that first game against Jacksonville, they were super passive and just like sitting back in zones. Last week looked a lot more like what we expect the Browns to be. And I bet that they just, you know, pressure the crap out of Bryce this week.

BillOne of the many differences between NFL and NBA is like, if this was NBA and Bryce was a free agent after the year, this would just be a pretty massive story, right? Like if he could just jump.

BillBut in the NFL, you can just, if he's really good, they'll just franchise tag him for a year and figure it out. And I don't think we'll ever see the movement like that. Do you like the franchise tag or no?

PelisseroI mean, I don't think I'd say I like it or don't, but it's just a necessary evil. You know, it prevents certain things. I mean, the players would argue it shouldn't exist, but it's existed for over 30 years now.
