That's what happens when you don't have an OL or a Josh Allen at your disposal like he had at Buffalo.
You're now a 32nd.

I form my opinion on what I see, not what the statistics may say.
He has an offensive line that can't give him a pocket to throw from.
When it collapses Jones is forced to run.
Sometimes with good results. The majority of time he is running for his life and can't pass when on the run.
Until he has a serviceable offensive line, I can't form any opinion except the eyeball test.

This article discusses the Giants 4th from bottom ranking in explosive plays and the need to fix the situation. Waller and Campbell are big improvements.

The Huddle Report documents draftnik accuracy and a good resource.

What a nice way to finish out the season. I've already won the BBH, the pickem and the survivors (shared). Could I go four for four? Probably not, this is luck not skill.

Sam and I used to banter each other with his Yankees and my Red Sox.  I also wondered what had happened when Sam stopped posting.
I think Weeze, for once, has a good idea about a fund that could be administered by one of the mods preferably.
I'll start off with a $25 check made payable to someone. Heck, if we got 20 to contribute $25 we've got a nice fund of $500 established.

What do you think of Stradivari opening today at 1-2 as a result of the owners of Pimlico placing an $80000 win bet OK n him  at Laurel yesterday? What do they know?
And why not wait until later later today to place their bet?
Unless they wouldn't be allowed to?
I'm sure race people are talking.

Anthony played high school football in Detroit. He was a great running back, but a really poor student.


At graduation, he didn't have enough credits.



But he was a great football star and the students held a rally and demanded the principal give him a diploma anyway. They were so insistent that the principal agreed that if Anthony could answer one question correctly he would give him a diploma.



The one question test was held in the auditorium and all the students packed the place.



It was standing room only. The principal was on the stage and told him to come up. Diploma in hand, the principal said: "Anthony, if you can answer this one question correctly I'll give you your diploma."



"Anthony, how much is three times seven?"



Anthony looked up at the ceiling and then down at his shoes, pondering the question.



The other students began chanting, "Graduate him anyway! Graduate him anyway!"



Then Anthony held up his hand and the auditorium became silent.



He said, "I think I know the answer. Three times seven is twenty-one."



A hush fell over the auditorium and then all the other students began to chant:



"Give him another chance! Give him another chance!"

Great job Ceri. I have italized the names in your top 100 not in Bob McGinn's list. You agree on 87 out of 100 names. I noticed a few WR late risers in his top 100 that were rated lower in his positional rankings.
He included WR Chris Conley, Tre Montgomery and Stefon Diggs, TE Jeff Heuerman, OT Corey Robinson, C Mitch Morse, RB Jeremy Langford, DE Frank Clark, DT Michael Bennett, ILB Jordan Hicks and Ramik Wilson, OLB Kwon Alexander and Hau'oli Kikaha instead of your italicized ones.
I congratulate you on both your keen knowledge and the fact you did your own board.

Here's my fearsome pick for round 5
Sean Hickey OT projected to OG
Why?
2 reasons - We LOVE Syracuse and team captains.

A father buys a
robot that slaps people when they lie.
He decides to test
it out at dinner one night.
The father asks
his son what he did that afternoon.
The son says, "I
did some schoolwork."
The robot slaps
the son.
The son says, "Ok,
Ok. I was at a friend's house watching movies."
Dad asks, "What
movie did you watch?"
Son says, "Toy
Story."
The robot slaps
the son.
Son says, "Ok, Ok,
we were watching porn."
Dad says,"What? At
your age I didn't even know what porn was."
The robot slaps
the father.
Mom laughs and
says,"Well, he certainly is your son."
The robot slaps
the mother.

Robot for
sale.

Yes, Dunn Park is what I remember. A really nice facility back then. Don't know what it is used for these days since it's still there from your description.
I don't recall much at all about the Auburn park except it was newly built.

Bill.
I grew up near Ithaca NY graduating high school in 1959 and used to regularly attend either the Elmira Pioneers in the late 50's and/or the Auburn Yankees of the early 60's. I loved the class D ball and watching the young men near my age who were actually signed, unlike myself who had a few unsuccessful tryouts. Who knew that Dick Allen of the Pioneers would be a Hall of Fame player. And seeing Mel Stottlemyre and Joe Pepitone in Auburn.
Great memories, and I do remember seeing the Jamestown Falcons play, probably in Auburn.

Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on their usual park bench one morning.

The 87 year old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath.
The 80 year old was amazed at his friend's stamina and asked him what he did to have so much energy.

The 87 year old said, "Well, I eat rye bread every day.   It keeps your energy level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies."
So, on the way home the 80 year old stops at the bakery.   As he was looking around, the lady asked if he needed any help. 
He said "Do you have any Rye bread?"

She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it.  Would you like some?"  He said, "I want 5 loaves."

She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves ... By the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it'll be hard".

He replied, "I can't believe it, everybody knows about this xxxx but me.
