    I mostly agree with everything in here other than I find it very interesting still, but I agree it's weaker for focusing so much on Howard's wife on both sides. While some of the stuff with "our" Howard in the prison are cool, the interactions between him and Howard Prime along with Quayle were...

    Quenton Nelson, a guard...who the Colts were more than happy to take at #6 after trading back 3 spots with the Jets (picking up two extra 2nd's this past year and another in 2019). Pretty sure Denver was going to take Nelson at #5 except Chubb fell to them. Kid's a stud.

    True, also the fact that Leonard was drafted about 20 spots below Esch at the start of Round 2 and made the impact he did from day 1 is a mark in his favor. Also didn't just seem to be a tackle machine, guy was making plays rushing the passer with 7 sacks and 4 forced fumbles. Esch was a...

    3 seasons at most? I mean don't get me wrong, the character backstory stuff and slow burn are still interesting to me...but we still haven't even gotten any REALLY big reveals on either side yet. Only potential reason for divergence on both sides (flu epidemic) and some rogue groups operating...

    This. The whole "well he produced b/c there wasn't anyone else" v. "he produced despite defenses knowing there was no one else" can get weighted either way. Only Giant that had more receiving TD's than him was Beckham (6 v. 4). He had 11 of their 13 rushing TD's. However we want to rank it...

    Esch tackles 140, Leonard 163 Esch sacks 0, Leonard 7 Esch Int 2, Leonard 2 Esch Forced Fumbles 0, Leonard 4 Esch fumble recoveries 0, Leonard 2 Esch was very good this year, Leonard was better across the board.

    Right...it's just because of how bad Cleveland has been, I think people sleep on the fact that of all the other 1st round draft picks (other than Lamar Jackson, who went 32nd) at QB, he actually went into the best situation as far as talent around him.

    Agree with @Sterling . I think Mayfield was absolutely great the last stretch run of the year and was a big part of them having such an improved year...but he shouldn't get all of the credit. Garret and Ward on D, Chubb eventually taking over as the starter, etc. Giants had 8 of their...

    For Offensive, I guess you mean...and Barkley led the entire NFL in yards from scrimmage, so it's at least sorta close.

    Offensive Rookie of the Year is going to be either Mayfield or Barkley. On Defensive side will either be Derwin James or Darius Leonard.

    That's why Agent was great. Yeah Dark side was still pretty much kill everyone when you were done with them, but it was basically just cleaning up loose ends. You'd charm, seduce, coerce, then kill anything you could along the way. The only thing I didn't like was I wish so many of the major...

    This is definitely true for some, especially since Rooney Rule (not that they have to be hired, but I'm sure more teams will hire because reasons). Still plenty that don't get the job when they should, or those that do get hired onto shitty teams with very little chance of success. Wilks in...

    Still curious what would have happened if the refs hadn't screwed over the Browns by that would be 99 yard fumble recovery TD at end of 1st half being whistled dead or whatever the excuse is. Obviously the way the Ravens play the 2nd half would have been completely different as well, so who knows.

    Cousins has Thielen and Diggs. Rudolph not a bad TE, and Cook/Murray is a pretty good backfield.

    While I'd rather see Pittsburgh out of the playoffs...hearing so many of my Ravens fans friends get puffed up about Super Bowl chances/moving up to the #2 seed after this weekend has me low key thinking a Browns win over Baltimore might be hilarious.

    How bad is the Eureka farm? I've played catch up on the other two epic/anima weapons and they were a grind but not so bad you couldn't knock it out over time...just curious if it's worth it to do the Eureka grind.

    If you're doing the MSQ and sidequests you'll get plenty of gear in between 60-70, also dungeon drops from the 4 mans you do for the MSQ. Craftable stuff as well if you're into that.

    The thing Phantom Menace had going for it, or I guess its better put "had so that even if it wasn't great it sorta made sense"...is that it was Episode 1, so all the boring backstory shit with not much happening you'd kind of expect. That allowed people to gloss over the real bad stuff in it...

    Given that they're both 11-4, yes if the Chargers win and the Chiefs lose, the Chargers win the division...Chiefs would then BECOME a wild card as the #5 seed.

    I'll echo the class story shit leveling 1-50 was amazing. Disagree on the single player suggestion though, leveling 1-50 with a consistent group of 4 was pretty goddamn fun and amazing. I played Agent so I had the best story, too. The only downside was we had 2 inquis as range dps/heals, and...

    That ignores the 3 TD's he threw tonight, no? Should be up to number 3. He was number 1 last year in TD's, number 9 in yards. He's only top 20 in yards this year, but he also has so many less attempts than everyone else b/c they run the ball so much.

    I think he has more games now with 3+ turnovers, games like the 2nd half of their first game against the Ravens when they just get completely shut down. But Ben is still one of my top candidates for a 500+ yard 5 TD game.
