I don't see this at all. Purdy in his nature is extremely aggressive and looks to hit big time plays/throws. He's never been a "Jimmy G" type safety valve QB. There's not a single elite QB that isn't "risky" with the ball at times. They're looking to push the ball down the field and create...

Eh, fine. But SEA is also incredibly good on D and they're always one of the toughest road outs in football. In a massive transition year where we once again lost most of our elite playmakers... you take the W and run with it. Defense held strong most of the game too. Now, we have 6 weeks...

This argument is seriously so stupid. Theres not a single good qb that doesn't have quality receivers and weapons around him. A great qb elevates them sure, but not even prime Tom Brady is carrying plumbers to the super bowl

Anyone thinking this was going to be an easy win was delusional. Especially with Kittle going down early, Jennings out, Aiyuk still out. Sea defense is legit and they're likely going to be one of the best units in football this year. Impressive gritty win with Brock and Bosa stepping up when...

Honestly, I'm throwing out on/off splits from last year. We just had a ridiculous amount of off court drama that pretty much made it impossible to build any sort of continuity during the season. Full offseason, full training camp, full preseason. I'll be willing to reset my priors for this team...

Just when I thought I was out...I'm sucked right back in. Gilbert has been a super fun spark too. Got that energy that just gets guys fired up. Along with Devers and Adames just tearing the cover off the ball

On/Off is great for a snapshot. Like our defense being 3.2 points better with Carter on the floor than off in his 397 minutes last year. Now, obviously a tiny sample and he had very few games where he got consistent run, but it's still enough where that's something the Kings should be exploring...

Honestly, just watching a bunch of a guy on defense is probably still the best way to evaluate someone. But even then, defense is so team oriented and success relies on everyone operating as a unit. It's sort of like evaluating an offensive line in football. Theres not really a super objective...

Even then, it means nothing. Just too noisy of a stat that accounts for very little on the defensive end.

Well, I'm assuming that our offer of Monk+Protected FRP would have went to GS, after all the DET stuff was finalized earlier this off-season with Schroeder. So however that ends up working cap wise, I assume that would have gotten Kuminga the contract he wanted from us.

We'd s&t for him on a contract he'd actually be willing to sign. We wouldn't trade for him on the QO

They can have Monk and they're going to like it. Protected pick is long gone imo, missed their window for that deal.

Legitimately wild we got one of the best hitters in baseball without giving up a true premium asset. Harrison, maybe, but he's lost a lot of shine thr last few years

I think positions died with the death of post players. You just need guys to fill roles: wing defenders, poa defender, ball handlers, playmakers, shooters, on ball shot creation, rim protection. It doesn't matter where or who these come from

I mean we had a perfectly set up guard rotation before bringing in Dennis... 2 offensive guards in Monk and LaVine and 2 defenders with Carter and Keon. Mix and match the offense and defense. But Perry created a problem that didn't need to exist. We "gap year" this season without clearing the...
