On par with pre nerf Shattered Halls heroic? Although no one will get to relive that unless they do TBC after classic.

Yeah, that's why we killed something like all but 6 of the first 300 downed on our server back then. Granted, it wasn't just for the good nature resist stuff. Every mage in the guild wanted the Mindtear Band, which we never saw a single one drop until after 6 months of killing Taerar.

Kill green dragons, they had a ton of good nature resist gear.

It depends how much the allure exists for people that never played it...and how long people who did play it want to go back and see/beat anything they didn't (couldn't) beat back in Vanilla. I find I have no desire to go back and do everything I already did, but just knowing how few people...

It really is Classic

I wonder what the Chargers actual price for Gordon would be if they were offered a potential 2nd.

All of this makes sense, there's a lot of new stuff for you to see in Classic, and the one real draw it still has for me is the community that you had to build on each of your servers back then (and in prior MMO's like EQ). For me, though, that community was heavily influenced by those people I...

I'll agree that there is a big part of "doing the expansion releases in 14 for the story", but I still enjoy a lot of the content they put out over the course of the expansion in between release and MSQ patches, too. Still waaaay better than BFA for me which kind of feels like a watered down...

I'll have to disagree, I think my hype for Shadowbringers was higher than any WoW/expansion even. Although how much of Vanilla did you clear/see I have to ask?

I'm still surprised so many people who actually played back in vanilla are excited for this.

Lamar Miller ACL. Good they traded for Duke Johnson I guess? Maybe they inquire about Melvin Gordon though

God damnit I was going to go here. Well played. They'd be better off trading a 3rd for Bridgewater or something, though.

IIHF suspends Kuznetsov 4 years for cocaine Well I guess we know why he had a down year. Hope Kuznetsov gets help if he needs it and gets clean.

Only difference being Zeke is actually an elite RB in the league. Dak at his best you could maybe say is a top 10 QB. Dak at his normal is a top 15 QB.

Foles' deal is new, btw.

I don't see any chance they finish above the Ravens

Problem is if they already offered him 30m, he has to know he has them by the balls (even though he shouldn't).

Have this feeling they'll either nail it or it'll fall flat after the reveal.

I still gotta look at the Chiefs as the only team with a real shot (assuming no crazy injuries for the Pats, etc). We'll see how a lack of Gronk changes how teams defend them in the passing game...but as far as other contenders, Chargers looked good last year but got wrecked by the Pats in the...

Yeah story like Smith's it's hard not to at least somewhat root for the guy even if he's a Cowboy.

So which two division winners out of Buffalo/AFC North/AFC South are ending up with a better record then KC then (or all 3 if we're saying Pats go in as #5 seed)

0.0? I saw he had thrown a pick but damn. Wtf.

Bingo. Although all those players retiring and/or off field trouble screwing up their careers probably about equally as responsible.

That said, some of the old guard will eventually be done, and guys like Mariota, Dalton, and Winston are basically playing to prove they can still be thought of as "the answer" or if their teams will need to try to reboot. But yeah, it's weird how settled every team seems to be, or at least...

Actually a funny thing looking at some of this stuff, the idea of Kaepernick starting for someone in 2017 versus now...I don't know if NFL GM's have been better at drafting QB's or if we just had a few good years of talent coming out of college (coupled with guys like Brady, Brees...

Yeah if the rumored amounts he was asking for are true, it's basically as bad as Dak asking for $40M a year, relative to their actual position in the QB rankings.

You're definitely going to see more modern players on the list, Rodgers alone has so many crazy records for X attempts between picks, I'm sure Brady has some himself, too. Defenders can't play as "heavy" as they used to, either. But there's definitely trends when you look at guys' TD and Int...

That just means...Dak is good at taking care of the ball too? Dak's TD and Int % are very similar to Kaepernick's.

I think a lot of people/discussions about him get lost in the nebulous area between "better than many starters out there" vs. "deserves a spot on a roster". Because there is a big gap in between those two statements. I think going into 2017 there were definitely a spot or two where you could...

Well I kind of just posted that already in another response. People forget how bad that Niner team was in 2016, and that Kaep played hurt in 2015. I'm not trying to make any argument he was a top 15 QB in the league, not by any stretch, but people making him out to be not even backup level for...

I agree on the 60% completion rating being far too low for a starter, absolutely his biggest flaw, although his last two years he was working with what was probably the worst group of receivers in the NFL. He did actually top 3,300 yards in 2014, he hit 3,369. It's hard to judge mainly because...

Although...not like Alex Smith covered himself in glory either. 1-4 in the playoffs since leaving the Niners. We also saw what an elite QB could do with those weapons the Chiefs have after Mahomes took over his spot.

It loses credibility as each year passes, and I'm a Kaep defender. The reality is that there's no way he isn't rusty as fuck not having practiced with NFL level players in anything resembling game situations for like 3 years now? No way guy comes off the street after that long and doesn't have...

The typical lull between patches for most, although this time I'll actually stick around. I'm sure most of the couldn't ever beat it back in the day WoW peeps will try out Classic. Will see how FFxiv manages to hold my attention through until 5.1.

I'm assuming you did some raid leading prior to that, as well...hopefully the easiest raid ever wasn't the only thing that turned you away from raid leading.

Golden Tate appeal denied by the NFL. Shitty one to make a stand on by the league, imo. But whatever, fuck the Giants.

I think QB's are worth a good bit of the total pie, and it's not like the salary cap is going down any time soon, either. When you look at which teams are able to compete each year, if you don't have at least an option at QB who COULD play like a top 10 QB at any given time...you really don't...

On Goff, I agree his played dipped in the playoffs, but while the overall stats weren't great, if you look at Total QBR he had an average game against Dallas, and a highly efficient game against the Saints. Nobody played well on either offense in the Super Bowl through 2-3 quarters so that's...

It's funny enough that Manning ended up 3-2 v. Brady in the playoffs (just weird to know that stat is legit). Also i think you really can't use Belichick/Brady as an example here because they are the true outlier. Your first set of Flacco, Dilfer, Johnson, Gannon, Kaepernick, Goff is...

Will they though? Maybe they will if the league keeps going towards stupidity on that level. But Rodgers, Wilson, Luck coming up...I know certain people like to hate on each of these guys for various reasons, but they are among the elite guys in the league. Brady/Roethlisberger/Brees are old...
