  1. Brad Banks was the best QB in the 2003 draft class - he went undrafted. QBs drafted: Carson Palmer Byron Leftwich Kyle Boller Rex Grossman Dave Ragone Chris Simms Seneca Wallace Brain St. Pierre Drew Henson Brooks Bollinger Kilff Kingsbury Gibran Hamdan Ken Dorsey In hindsight, those drafted only accounted for 3 more pro bowls than Brad or I earned... so it wasn't that far off.
  2. Teaching is a job I know I couldn't do - I simply don't have the patience for it. Knowing that, I chose not to go into the field. As an outsider though, it seems like teachers as a whole spend a lot of time complaining about their job and/or looking for praise because they chose their profession. Maybe colleges don't do a good enough job preparing students for the profession, but you should have a general idea of the income potential, student debt, demands on your schedule, emotional/psychological toll, etc before you start full time. The reality is that most jobs now aren't 9-5, 40 hours per week. Nearly every professional I know takes their work home, works early/late/weekends too. As a society we're all cramming to get more done in less time so that we can buy things we don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like (stolen from somewhere). I write this knowing it will be taken as a flaming insult by some, but it's simply my worldly observation.
  3. Wildgoose wearing 32 - can we just call him “the chase”?
  4. 31. Travis Etienne RB Clemson 61. Jabril Cox LB LSU 93. Walker Little OT Stanford 94. Brevin Jordan TE Miami (FL) 174. Victor Dimukeje EDGE Duke 213. Paris Ford S Pittsburgh Traded with KC in the first round bouncing back one spot, but moved from 161 up to 94 in exchange.
  5. Talent falls every year. With a franchise QB, take BPA. It gives you the best opportunity for long term success as you’re not emptying the cupboards.
  6. While I'm sure it's a good thing - I don't appreciate the phone alert when I've been hitting F5 all day.
  7. No you are not. That said - if we're judging his haul on "hotness", Olivia Munn was much stronger.
  8. Aside from his underutilization - by biggest knock on him is that he never makes a guy miss. On a sweep he’s 100% sprint to corner/sprint to toward the marker. If someone is in the way, the play is dead. This makes me question his ability to be our primary return guy. I keep wanting him to be Roscoe Parrish, and I’m seeing TJ Graham/Marquise Goodwin.
  9. Najee Harris please - you aren't getting a replacement RB in FA for less money with that skill set. You aren't getting a year 1 dominate edge rusher that late in the draft, but you potentially have an elite RB and Day 1 upgrade falling to you at a position of need. You can roll the dice with the #5 LB or #4 WR taken. To get over the KC hurdle, you're going to need to outscore them. One or two defensive changes aren't stopping them. Sign me up for: John Brown walks, and Kenny Stills becomes his replacement at a significant cost savings Hunter Henry signs Yeldon walks. Najee Harris drafted. Theoretically, the dollars and cents remain the same, but our offense is significantly upgraded.
  10. He could also stay here and become Daboll's OC when he leaves next year. Either way he becomes an OC with familiarity and would be in a better position than leaving now.
  11. I was expecting $5k prices... looking at lower endzones and seeing price tags of $12k-15k per seat is insane to me, but I guess expense accounts are flush with nobody travelling this year. It also helps that new tax laws allow 100% deduction for entertainment this year.
  12. I'm fine with it - but I draw the line at trying to update the Shout Song.
  13. Let’s be honest - getting to the AFC Championship is fine, but without a “signature win” it’s pretty empty. I want to see more out of Josh and McBeane before we anoint them. /sarcasm
  14. The best response would be to completely ignore Wright’s existence and deny him his 15 minutes. The guy has tried to build his career by antagonizing us - completely ice him and let him go back to obscurity. if anything, change his Wikipedia to, “Nick Wright - nah never heard of him”
  15. I’d let John Brown go and use the salary to get a Hunter Henry. I think the consistent TE upgrade would more than offset the loss on the outside.
  16. respect - he landed well and had inferior position. I was expecting him to be gasssed after the first few punches, but he impressed. I have a feeling he and the winning zubaz pants in the second fight came together. They both handled their own and didn't get aggressive toward each other.
  17. How many people are going to claim to have been at this game when Pittsburgh comes back?
  18. With Covid nobody should be shaking hands
  19. The colts carved us up having TEs or Zach Pascal cross in front of the LBers, where our CB would either get caught in the shuffle or hand off to LBers that weren’t on the same page. I suspect the next opponent will do the same until we adjust.
  20. Tua is better than EJ Manuel - but this feels like we've seen the this story play out before.
  21. Same here. It’s 1 mile and a free test (drive through testing is free in my county) vs 450 mile round trip and $63 - from the same lab. is Cuomo testing at the stadium?
  22. I don’t know your scenario, but would you HAVE to stay in orchard park for 2-3 days? You’re not quarantined while waiting for a test if you haven’t already been identified as a primary contact. I plan on driving out for the test, returning home, and coming back on Sunday.
  23. I wonder if they’re in someone’s cart. Still says no event available on my end.
  24. 2:30p it’s saying no events available.
