("He" meaning Jenkins.) Which "evaluators" are those? I haven't seen much to back that assessment up. I HAVE seen a bunch of Leno apologists whining about his release on the internet, though. In pieces similar to that one. Also...Leno, "underrated"? I mean, good lord. Do these people watch football? i remember reading an article or seeing a video clip and whoever it was said he wasn't a good athlete...completely ignoring the fact that his RAS score (or whatever that thing was that floated around pre draft) had him as one of the most athletic tackles in all aspects to come out since 2011 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because talking heads or writers are either too lazy to actually watch people, especially galling since it their job and not a hobby AND they have easy access to All-22 cut ups and don't have to rely on youtube, or maybe they have no idea what they are looking at when they watch it or both. Numbers above are relatively objective athletic measurements. As objective as data gets. But lazy analysis is well ... he played RT so obviously Jenkins is slow or a lessor athlete and cannot play LT. And some analytics company like PFF says Leno is perfectly average. That combination as created the narrative that Bears screwed up big time in releasing Leno without discussing cap savings. But no one asks how did they gather the data that says he is a perfectly average OT in NFL? From what people who have done it say: It is low paid College kids or recent grads watching games in real time and quickly writing down a number score for each play which is translated into a grade. OL is arguably most nuanced position in football and perhaps all of sports aside from QB. It is really difficult to properly assess. Nothing could go wrong overweighting those grades. The grades are probably okay and not so far off, but I would say there is a rather sizeable margin of error in either direction using that method of data collection. If you want to say relying on rookie LT is a big risk that is fine, but an overpaid Leno or a declining Massie wasn't the answer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Just clicked on an ad for a cool looking bike, pedal bike mind you, that said used 67% off. Was thinking wow I might by that. I could use a new bike. It was close to $7,000. LOL What? $7k for a used pedal bike?

Guess tech keeps passing me by. Much better now. I don’t think I want to do gamepass this year as my streaming services are adding up now. Can people DM me ways to watch networks live without cable/satellite or the expensive Hulu version? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better now. Just for full transparency to possibly help others reading this....installing ublock orgin is always the first thing I do after installing any OS. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock NOT adblock or UBLOCK...but ublock origin. There's a big difference. Adblock and Ublock accept payments from 3rd parties in order to put be whitelisted and so you'll still see ads here and there. Unblock origin you won't. The person who maintains Unblock Orgin was initally a lead developer for Ublock and fell out with them after they started accepting "bribes" and so he started his own........UBLOCK ORIGIN. I strongly suggest everyone have this extension installed. I don't see any ads on any site. Even "free movies" by youtube. I don't have to watch an ad every 5 minutes to watch em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a single ad on any site for like 15 years. nbc sports recently started requiring ad blockers be turned off to get to their site. now whenever i'm there, an ad will appear and take up half the screen and i have to wait for it to disappear. that's on top of all the other ads. that site as a whole has gone downhill - they got rid of a lot of their writers/bloggers and now just pull "stories" from the AP. they also recently removed the MLB tab from their top links - putting it under a "more" category. sports that are available via quicklink include olympics, nascar, motors, soccer, golf.
