Brad Penny to Japan
The Softbank Hawks have officially announced the acquisition of righty Brad Penny, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun (edit: confirmed on the team’s website). Penny’s deal is for one year and $3m plus performance bonuses. Sanspo adds that Penny will travel to Japan on February 8th, and join Softbank’s camp on the 9th.

As far as half-time shows go,

While I was in England for study abroad, we visited the British Board of Film Classification.

Their focus is a complete 180 to what the ratings board here does.

They focus on the potential to mimic.

You remember Disney’s Rocket Man? It was originally rated 15+ because of the opening scene where the kid is in his dryer pretending he’s in a spacecraft.

Stayed in London (Chelsea specifically), did a month long program through TCU

There were IES student dorms right there, but we were always out on tours or museum trips.

"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"

by Maximilian on Feb 6, 2012 10:13 AM CST up reply actions  

Best trip of my life thus far.

Month long vacation, and TCU covered about 60% of it.

I only wish I would have spent more time exploring London on my own.

"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"

by Maximilian on Feb 6, 2012 10:17 AM CST up reply actions  

We were "in class" Tuesday-Thursday, so Fri-Mon = tripping around Europe.

If I could have re-done it knowing what I know now, I would have skipped the trip to Rome and stayed that last weekend in London or tripped to somewhere out in the country.

Rome was fun for the history, but it should have been part of a whole week or two in Italy.

Skipped Rome? We will now have an internet fight.

and then probably another year to see the rest of Italy.

My biggest wish/regret....

Was that I went to the program not really knowing hardly any of the other law students that went, and guys that are now some of my best friends from that trip spent the first weekend in Pamplona running with the bulls. I really wish I had been friends with them before I went so I could have gone on that trip.

Oh, and one weekend in Amsterdam was way too long. I kind of hated it.

by FuturePants on Feb 6, 2012 10:22 AM CST up reply actions  

Really?

I loved my weekend in Amsterdam. Wish I could have stayed a few more days.

Yes I did smoke quite a bit, but that was secondary to the fun I had there.

Only regret there was smoking a very strong J and going into the Anne Frank House with a friend. WHY.

"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"

by Maximilian on Feb 6, 2012 10:25 AM CST up reply actions  

hah

Anne Frank house and the Van Gogh museum are probably the two coolest things I have seen in Europe. Still didn’t make Amsterdam enjoyable though.

Amsterdam was just a bunch of shitty, dirty, stoned American hippies everywhere, hippieing it up.

by FuturePants on Feb 6, 2012 10:26 AM CST up reply actions  

Really?

I liked the Van Gogh, but I don’t think it would be one of my top 5 (or maybe 10) favorite museums in Europe.

I really like Van Gogh though.

The building itself wasn’t as cool as, say, the Rodin museum or the Musee D’orsay, but the art in it was bad ass.

Yeah,

I figured it was something like that. A good friend of mine is the same way.

Hmmm, I didn't get that vibe.

London is great.

Stayed there for 2 weeks and could have stayed another 2 without blinking an eye.

Not nearly as expensive as I thought once you start getting used to the area.

Heh, I started living off Egg Mayo and Cress sandwiches from Pret a Manger or EAT at one point.

They were relatively cheap and always filling.

one of my favorite things about English pubs is that they often serve Tandoori Chicken.

Tandoori chicken isn’t, nor is most Indian food. Maybe it’s personal bias, but most Indian food that I think of isn’t British.

BTW, that Indian place that I was telling you about down here that represents the only good Indian restaurant in Houston (that I’ve found) out of a lot of dreck? They have a dish where they take Tandoori chicken and then put it in the curry. Pretty legit.

but I’d already seen the mini-fridge commercial, so I’m not gonna count that one.

The VW fat dog commercial was pretty good until they randomly decided to shoehorn last year’s Vader kid and some shameless Star Wars crap in to it.

Everything else was absolutely forgettable.

C) Fumble 2 recovered by the Giants
D) Manningham catch
E) Getting credit for leading a comeback TD drive…when the Patriots let them score the TD.
F) Fuck.

There are also quite a few different categories of metal

The wifey makes me listen to lots of death metal (Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Moonspell, etc), which I don’t really care for.

But there’s hair metal, industrial, alt/metal (stuff like Disturbed), prog metal (Mastodon), etc. I find it hard to believe that you would hate absolutely all of it.

Well, there's a lot of uncertaintly in football in general

What makes you so bullish that they can repeat? The offense looks to be pretty good, though OL is prone to fits of herpderp, and while the DL is good, I’m not convinced they are given to be an elite defense from year to year.

Sure, Nicks is a good

but Manningham is pretty average (that one catch notwithstanding), none of their tight ends scares you that much, and their backs don’t really catch passes, except for Hynoski I guess. And their running game was mediocre to awful this year, so it’s not like they’re going to get help there. If Cruz isn’t very good next year, it’s basically whether teams can shut out Nicks, which happened a few times this year even with Cruz.

It only works if you're trading Romo, IMO.

I’m not against it if you can get quality value for him. Nothing against Romo… but RGIII is younger and crazy talented.

RGIII will be ready for the reins before Romo is done… I’d rather trade Romo now and get more value than waiting till he’s older.

But… who could you even trade Romo to?

Yeah

The main argument against this to me is that Romo and Ware probably have similar career paths ahead of them in terms of aging, so I’d worry that by trying to go young at QB, you end up not maximizing your Ware value.

I think RGIII is the type of QB

That would be ready very, very quickly. I don’t think you’d have much downtime from Romo to him.

I wouldn’t trade Romo for the fuck of it… but if you’re getting RGIII… QB success won’t be an issue.

I'm not as sure.

I think he’d need a year at least. He hasn’t had to make as complicated a series of reads as an NFL offense would require.

However, if you look at the total package, I can see how his rushing would allow him to be a productive player from the outset.

Which is why you don’t get RGIII unless you’re trading Romo. And if you can get more by trading him now, sacrifice 2012 as a learning year for RGIII (and see what happens) to maximize your return.

I don't really like this plan though...

The Cowboys currently have a near-elite offense. With some improvement on the o-line, they’d be one of the best offenses in the league. If you can improve the defense to approximately average, you’ve got a pretty darn good team…

If you can swap Romo for RGIII

And the net result gets you more high picks to improve that defense and o-line, that’s the point.

I don’t think the offense would suffer over the next 3 to 4 years with RGIII instead of Romo… in fact it might be better.

i dont see how you trade him+3? more years of output for RGIII when you have no idea how well he is going to fit into the offense, etc

do you think romo is a top 10 QB in NFL now? do you think RGIII steps in and can be a top 10 guy from day 1? what about over the next 3 years?

as good as RGIII is, i take romo over him for the next 2 years at least. and that is a very easy decision.

how truly legitimate was he? (serious question)

also how many “elite” NFL QBs have been elite based on their athletic abilities?

i put a much heavier weight to brains + intangibles when it comes to a QB than i do to athletic ability.

I know it is all relative at that level, but of the truly “elite QBs” currently in the NFL, how many are in that category based on their athletic ability (vs brains/intangibles)?

granted that is going to be an issue, because you very rarely have that combo of those 3 things…

How many truly “elite” athletic QBs are in the NFL at this moment? (and starting?)

do you weigh intangibles, brain and athletic ability as equals?

No.

I already said there’s no position I value intangibles more than an NFL QB.

But if he is off the charts in intangibles (and he is) and if he’s a very smart guy (and he is) and if he is super competitive and will work for it (and he does and will) and THEN you add Olympic level athleticism… well what does that equal?

It equals amazing son.

i am just not sold on it being a .33 x3 weight

i am not sure where the weight lies, but i feel confident that athletic ability (relative to the rest of NFL players and QBs) is easily the third of 3 things i want out of a QB and I would think that athletic ability is the least important to being a truly elite QB (even if it is elite ability)

i would rather have the guy w/ elite brain or elite intangibles + average other 2 than a guy with elite athletic ability (which i feel confident RGIII has)

i just dont see how you can say he is off the chart intangible wise or brains wise (well, that he is truly elite in either category) yet.

i know he is a different kind of athletic than newton, but how do you think he compares to cam?

There's more of a difference in the game itself though

Baseball is baseball, no matter where it’s played. However, QBs at the NCAA level are asked to make significantly fewer reads/decisions than at the NFL level. Plus, Darvish has been a pro for how many years now? While RGII has basically 2 years of being a very good throwing QB?

Reading defenses

I’m not saying I don’t believe he will make the jump, let me make that exceptionally clear. I would love to see him on the Cowboys and I think he’s a great prospect. But there’s a lot that goes into being an NFL quarterback intangible-wise (learning a playbook, dissecting a defense, being able to adapt and withstand the times it’s going like crap, etc) that I’m not comfortable predicting he will be one of the best ever before he’s even taken a profession practice snap.

The value to the team of RGIII and Romo will be very similar… with a potential edge to RGIII.

It’s not that Romo isn’t elite… he is. But RGIII is special. He has elite speed and all the intangibles you could ever want. I don’t need RGIII to be ready day 1. I just need him to be ready for 2013 and be fantastic. And for Romo to get back a couple of number 1’s + more.

I bragged on Facebook about our array of empanadas we prepared for our Super Bowl potluck

but they turned out kind of dry and bland. The recipe we used was either too dense or just not rolled out enough, and the stuffings, while delicious, didn’t do enough to moisten the inside. Deep frying would obvs help them taste better (they were baked), but some experimentation is still needed to ensure a supple yet firm crust and a gooey center.

The question is who will be better over the next 4, 7 and 10 years AND does going from Romo to RGIII net additional value in other areas by the assets we get back from trading Romo, making the Cowboys an overall better team?

No... the question is what is the best move for the Cowboys.

Should they trade Romo for a nice return of picks and then trade up for RGIII?

That is the question. The key is you’d have to get a very nice return from Romo to make it worth it.

by Brad on Feb 6, 2012 12:00 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm really not sure the Cowboys are setup for that right now.

They would have to literally scrap the 2012 season and they have a bit much invested in the team already. You would lose another year of an aging Witten, you would have a young receiving core with a young QB now, and a defense that is still in shambles.

Sure you could use some of those Romo draft picks for defense, but it’s still going to be 2-3 years before they could come together. There is no way Romo gets traded, so I find the discussion a little strange, but I guess it’s something to talk about.

"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz

by AceJC on Feb 6, 2012 12:02 PM CST up reply actions  

And that's the thing that may make this all moot anyway

I’m not sure the Cowboys would be able to get enough for Romo that I’d want to take that deal… because the list of teams that would be interested in Romo more than somebody like RGIII is a short list, without even considering the fact that they can (likely) sign Peyton without giving up anything.

It's actually probably the best option here.

Trading Romo to be able to improve the team in the long run while signing Peyton to keep us able to contend in the short run as well. Which is what Jerry will insist on.

I don’t think RGIII should be starting at all in year 1 and maybe it should be brought up year 2.

My answer: I think keeping Romo gives the Cowboys a legitimate (if rather smaller than I'd like)

chance to make a Super Bowl run in the next 3-4 years. I think going with RGIII substantially reduces the odds of that happening (while obviously giving you a potential improvement in years 3-4 onwards). I also think that that is too far out to give up on what the Cowboys currently have.

It all depends on what you get back for Romo.

And what you give up to trade up for RGIII.

The question isn’t the difference between Romo and RGIII for the next three to four years… it’s the net difference based on upgrades elsewhere that trading Romo may get you.

And then you get the years AFTER that with an in his prime RGIII.

Cam Newton ran for 700 yards (5.6 YPC, 7.9 attempts/game)

I'm in between you two

I think Cam’s ability to run is a huge benefit inside the red zone, but I also think RGIII’s rushing ability doesn’t translate as well to the NFL, at least in a pure rushing sense. I think he will be more like an Aaron Rodgers, who can scramble for some nice runs if contain breaks down and there’s nobody open, but they won’t be running a lot of designed run plays for him.

Nobody on here has said RGIII will be as good as Romo his first year

There are some (IMO silly) claims that Griffin will be up to Romo’s level in year 2. I think that’s absurd, but even if you believe it…

…as benji and I both stated, why would you deliberately make your team weaker in one of its few legimate areas of strength when there are so many other more pressing needs to address? You’d be completely conceding 2012 to draft for 2013 and hope/pray RGIII turns out to be a success.

If the answer is Brady, then clearly we need to do whatever it takes to trade for Tom Brady, roster/draft picks/salary cap be damned.

I disagree.

At their core they are similar decisions.

Do you have an opportunity to acquire what you consider to be an elite talent that is significantly younger than your proven veteran?

Are you willing to sacrifice that veteran in order to get said elite talent, even though the talent is unproven and will be very expensive?

You don’t get rid of Romo just to get younger. You don’t get rid of C.J. just to get younger.

But if you think the particular player you can acquire has a chance to be very special, then you strongly consider it.

3. The rookie in question (Darvish vs. RGIII) is not equivalent. Darvish is older, has played professional baseball for several years, and has tons of scouting available for reference. Griffin has 4 years of NCAA ball.

If football had WAR, your difference from Romo → RGIII is nowhere near approaching it with secondary upgrades.

Match gave a lot of reasoning up above

You… have not. And have also given the much more definitive statement. Finally, the current ‘expert opinion’ on RGIII seems to be that he will, in fact, be good.

It's not a question of whether or not RGIII will be good.

You made a claim to relate how good he will be in a pseudo quantitative way. If you’re so sure about the quantitative value, I’m interested in how you came up with that value.

If you just made that statement based on gut, that’s fine too. But gut is hard to quantify in the realm of “if football had WAR”.

That's fair, match.

Mine is based on pure observation of the lack of consistency in determining success in NFL prospects. Baseball does a far better job at identifying talent than football does. Baseball is astronomy and football is astrology. To rely on any scout’s opinions in relation to taking an unnecessary risk in football is much more dangerous than in baseball, particularly at the most important position on the field.

As far as WAR adjustments, I don’t have numbers in front of me, but I would approach it based on players impact to defensive points allowed, yards allowed, etc., and compare them. Gut: I don’t feel the Romo to RGIII difference will be significant, even arguing your side that shows he might be a little better.

It is my gut that replacing Newman or Ball or Sensabaugh will provide greater impact than Romo → RGIII. I don’t think that’s a ridiculous assumption to make.

A burden should never be something out of your control.

by benjihana on Feb 6, 2012 1:06 PM CST up reply actions  

Disagree with your first paragraph

Also, the point isn’t that RGIII would be that much better than Romo over the first 3 years (in fact he would almost assuredly be worse or possibly equal), but that the extra assets you would get by trading Romo would help improve your team enough to make up for that gap.

FWIW I’m on your side, and I disagree with match (especially because I think it would take almost all of the assets you’d get for Romo to trade up for RGIII)

Fortunately,

you don’t have to. Football Outsider’s has something called the Lewin Career Forecaster, which was updated to version 2.0 and you can read about here.

The new LCF has seven factors.

1. Career college games started. This is still the most important variable in the equation. Uses a minimum of 20, a maximum of 48.
2. Career completion rate; however, this is now a logrithmic variable. As a quarterback’s completion percentage goes down, the penalty for low completion percentage gets gradually larger. As a result, the bonus for exceedingly accurate quarterbacks such as Tim Couch and Brian Brohm is smaller than the penalty for inaccurate quarterbacks such as Kyle Boller and Tarvaris Jackson.
3. Difference between the quarterback’s BMI and 28.0. This creates a small penalty for quarterbacks who don’t exactly conform to the “ideal quarterback size.”
4. Run-pass ratio in the quarterback’s final college season, with a maximum of 0.5.
5. Total rushing yards in the quarterback’s final college season, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 600.
6. For quarterbacks who come out as seniors, the difference in NCAA passer rating between their junior and senior seasons.
7. Finally, a binary variable that penalizes quarterbacks who don’t play for a team in a BCS-qualifying conference

Yeah,

I wouldn’t use it like I use WAR, but this is the point:

It’s important to understand that LCF is meant to be a tool used alongside the scouting reports, not instead of the scouting reports. Sam Bradford was still the proper number one overall selection in the 2010 draft. What’s important is not that his projection is lower than Colt McCoy’s projection — instead, what’s important is that he has a very good projection, which should give the Rams confidence that their scouts got it right.

Those are all points that correlate with success. I’m now planning on doing a writeup at ODB about this, but here’s the tl;dr – he grades out well in all of those.

The comments are pretty telling...
Nobody doubts that Newton is an amazing athlete who was a supremely valuable college football player. In the NFL, he is a massive risk-reward candidate. I just happen to think that the risk is larger than the reward.

Cam gets hurt there because he only started 14 games.

That's not flawed logic

That’s the whole point, to determine if that is true or not. If true, you trade Romo. If not, you don’t. You’re essentially agreeing with his premise but taking the other side of the value equation (which is the same side I am on)
