meh… We’ve dealt with non-existent wide receivers for over a decade now. We’ll be fine as long as the rest of the offense is good.

Rising, Huntley and BJ weren’t elite; they were without deficiency. So they could run everything well at the college level. Add in leadership qualities and you have a great college QB.

But I think elite is one step up; be without deficiency and also have something extra/special (accuracy, arm strength, processing). The extra/special part generates the high draft grades.

I sort of wonder if having players play both ways is an NIL thing? I doubt defensive players bring in as much NIL (as in real NIL, not unofficial salary NIL) as offensive players, and 2-way players seem to generate a lot of buzz and fan attention.

We have really been put through it as fans these last couple of years.

As someone once said “YOUR A REAL RAY OF SUNSHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY”.

Man, I hope they didn’t fly to Logan. I bet that would actually be slower. Time in the air will be quick, but they’ve got to drive to and from the airports. Rice-Eccles is 15 minutes from SLC and Maverik Stadium is 10 minutes from Logan-Cache. Then there’s so much gear transfer from bus to plane to bus. Just driving Rice-Eccles to Maverik Stadium is 90 minutes.

If somebody knows for sure, I’m now curious

People like change and Whit’s been here a long time…… IOW’s no matter how good we have it, people are going to find a reason to bitch. You’re points are spot on

It’s more about the market, not about having local billionaires.

The Broncos are owned by Greg Penner (30%), Carrie Walton Penner (30%) as part of the Walton-Penner group that owns 94% of the team, with Hobbs, Hamilton, Ric combined for the other 6%. The Penners live in CA, but have a home in Aspen as well.

Kroenke, who owns the Nuggets (NBA), Avalanche (NHL) (and Ball Arena where both play), Rapids (MLS), Mammoth (Lacrosse), and Arsenal (Premier League), also owns the LA (formerly St. Louis) Rams. He lives in Missouri with a home in Malibu (and has a ranch in Texas).

The Commanders controlling owner is Josh Harris but there are 14 limited partners including Magic Johnson ($240M of the $6.05B price). Harris lives in New York, also with a home in Miami Beach.

In other words, NFL ownership has reached the stratosphere where groups have to buy it and they don’t care where the team is and if there is a local connection as long as they can get in the winning group in the race for a piece of the league.

As far as expansion, it’s more likely now that a team is bought and moved, but there are probably better markets right now – back to St Louis or San Diego? San Antonio? Louisville? OKC? Portland? Who could lose their team – Jacksonville? If there is expansion, could full well be London or Mexico City (altitude?!), but I couldn’t see that lasting very long.

Minnesota that has been my complaint with Smith. Nobody seemed to have a role. Jensen will change that. Majerus was the master of giving each player a role and designing that role to fit the players strength and team success.

I had to give up my tickets because of $$$. Last two years I have no clue who some of the numbers on the field. I know I know you can get on your phone and look up the rosters. I leave my phone in the car for a good reason. I’m old school and used to buy a program.

A weird suggestion might be to put a picture, name and number on the big screen if a new player enters the game on offense or defense due to an injury or rotation. Portal has made it difficult to identify who’s who?
