I've also been a rock critic going back almost 40 years. I put this list of 50 essential rock albums together a number of years ago. Would probably change my mind on some now of course but put A LOT of thought into this.

@TheJimmyGraham @NFLPA Okay I'll try. All staff and 85% of players are vaccinated. 32 of 7,077 have been infected or a rate of .004 so 99.6% have not been. 33 of ~374 unvaccinated have been infected, a rate of 8.8%. So the unvaccinated are being infected at a rate 22 times greater than vaccinated.

Next Gen clocked Zach Wilson at practice throwing 69 mph, which is the fastest ever for any QB in any setting. He's at least a B-plus athlete (was told the #Jets clocked him 4.5/40). The traits are TOP SHELF. Doesn't mean he'll be good but I'll take my chances.

The #Jets offense is going to be Breece running and delayed screen game, so deadly with Rodgers. Quick screen game to Corley. Everything to Wilson. Deep/contested balls to Williams. Seams to Conklin. This is well-constructed conceptually.

The best thing for the #Jets is that this Rodgers thing goes post-draft and they get three top 43 picks. The longer it goes, the more likely it is that the #Packers will have to give the Jets a first- or second-round pick to take the $60 million. That’s actually low draft comp.
