It’s a fraction of Silvergate and Signature deposits (though it’s growing a lot recently), but it may be more efficient (ie settling nearly as many dollars on a much smaller deposit base). Banks and crypto cos are more aware of counterparty risk now

Customers Bank was using the same vendor as Signature’s Signet ( Tassat ) and they picked up the business from Silvergate and Signature. Customers later migrated the platform off that vendor but it’s basically the same economics

The thing I struggle with is that “sub-prime” is highly correlated with “poor people”. You can serve poor people well or poorly, but it’s helpful to be clear that you are trying to build a business where poor people are the customers.

People feel they have a right to go as fast as they want regardless of the speed limit and you are infringing on that right by not immediately moving out of their way. I’d support catastrophically high fines (e.g., $5k) for going more than 15 mph over the speed limit.

The anti-social behavior in the left lane is wild. Let me just get one inch behind this car with kids in the back going 70 mph to express my displeasure that they didn’t immediately move out of my way so I could go 80 mph.

Some stray 6 year old remark makes Sean McDermott more of a loose cannon than the guy who got drummed out of the NFL once and only came back with a ban from college football for cheating!

@greggrosenthal.bsky.social has typical media bias on Sean McDermott. Saying there is a tier break between him and Jim Harbaugh is crazy. McDermott’s 2018 was more impressive than Harbaugh’s 2024, not to mention every subsequent Bills season. Sure SM has Josh Allen, but Harbaugh has Herbert!

I have been trying to learn more about him. He seems like an ideal late round flyer for a team that need a deep threat with juice. I don’t know if he has played teams though which would be a must for a WR5

Why didn’t you talk about Dont'e Thornton? He is way off the charts in the exact stat you started with. He profiles like a freak too. Just bad association with the weird Tennessee offense?

You or Diante needed to check Steven trying to be slick with Lamar “leads in EPA per DROPBACK and rushing yards” and not noting there is a stat that combines drop back and rushing EPA per play. I wonder who leads in that?

And Coleman has several long YAC plays (Texans game, Titans game)

Also how do you do the pass blocking adjustment? That seems harder to separate than the YAC. That is actually the biggest driver of the difference between Burrow and Allen (and agree Bills line is much better than Bengals line)

As a Bills fan I totally get the Shakir (and Coleman and others) effect on YAC. My only surprise is why Burrow gets an almost neutral YAC adjustment when every game it feels like Jamar Chase breaks a long YAC TD.
