  1. Thank GOD there's an out

    he was TERRIBLE. missed so many easy throws...thanks god is right...

     

    "we're wanted to make him play quarterback..."

     

    it is going to be a long season., after which i predict an epic housecleaning...for better or worse.

     

    this is exactly what the awful jets opener felt like a few years back. what a dose of reality!

  2. Healthy McCoy, healthy Watkins, Clay, more experienced Taylor, all 5 O-line starters back. Nothing really.

    I want to believe, but our embarrassing weakness at #2 receiver will prevent Taylor from accomplishing much more on offense than he did last year. And no way do I expect all three of those guys to start more than half the games.

  3. The more I listen to John Murphy, the more I really miss Van.

     

    Murphy:

     

    "Taylor throws to the end zone and it issssss..........(one Mississippi).........(two Mississippi).......CAUGHT! NO! Dropped! Wait! Yes, Caught for the touchdown! Robert Woods! A 7 yard TD strike from Tyrod Taylor!"

     

    The guy is brutal.

    I'm no huge Murphy fan, but what you described above was Van Miller's last 5 seasons.

  4. Rex's scheme is overrated. He's always had very good defensive players everywhere he's been. That's been the biggest factor in his success. This idea that he can work alchemy and make a top defense from average players is untrue.

    we'll see about that. he did not have a lot of stars on the front 7 in New York...what he had was star-quality play out of his corners, and when management took that away from him he was sunk.

     

    obviously CB is a strength on this team and i think that bodes well for this season.

     

    i am also in the camp that suspects they're clearing cap space to pay Gilmore...precisely because you need stud corners for Rex's defense to work well.

     

    i don't think we'll miss Lawson that much either.

  5. If his writing makes you so miserable why do you read his articles? Next time check the by-lines and if his name is on it skip the article. Simple solution for a simple problem. When you go out to eat do you order fish from the wide ranging menu and then declare that you hate fish?

    they can't help themselves. it's hilarious!

  6.  

     

    Few knew back then that Brady, Rodgers, Brees would have the careers they have had.

     

    Also, Wentz was the pick of the litter months ago.

    actually Brees had a really good rookie year and the Chargers gave up on him way too early after a rough 2nd season. But I get your point.

     

    Still we are seeing entire draft classes come and go with no new impact players at the position. I don't blame college coaches because they have enough to worry about without having to worry about grooming QBs with the NFL.

     

    It's just very interesting and I am curious to know what this position will look like in 10 years.

  7. @rapsheet

    #Rams coach Jeff Fisher said last night what was already clear: Case Keenum to start, Sean Mannion is their No 2 now

     

    Jared Goff face plants in preseason finale

    I'm slowly coming the conclusion that when the Brady, Ben, Brees, Rivers, Rodgers generation retires, every single QB in the league will suck.

  8. Just saw Bryan Ferry in Boston Sunday. Great show. Musically ran the gamut from early to late Roxy, solo career and a few covers. He's 70 now but his band of youngins' could rock.

    Cool! I never saw them, but always thought they were pretty good. Certainly one of a kind. I had no idea Bryan Ferry still toured, but I'd definitely enjoy that setlist.

  9. Ive said that he's a better player than Da'Rick. He is an NFL WR. He's still a punk. I've yet to meet someone that likes the guy. Everyone thinks he's an appreciative underdog. He's an arrogant p---k. I can't wait to watch Brady jump down his throat when he runs his route short of the marker.

     

    With all that being said he's still a dime a dozen player. The team is no worse off giving his reps to Dez Lewis or Salas. He's an NFL player but he is just a guy.

    i never thought much of him as a player, but this thread is the first time i've ever seen his character impugned.

  10. I get that some people don't like being told at length about racial injustice...but it is an indispensable part of the story. It needs to be documented in detail- otherwise there is not enough context to make the absolutely incomprehensible verdict comprehensible. That one old woman juror coming out and basically saying it was just retribution...just awful. :(

     

    I agree that a lot of people look bad...the jurors, the "community leaders" who used past injustice to justify more injustice (am i the only who one horrified at both the OJ and Rodney King verdicts? judging by the behavior of some of those "leaders," you had to be for one or the other), OJs lying manipulating lawyers, that maniacal bigot Fuhrman, the incompetent judge, prosecutors...it goes on and on.

     

    But also the exposure of the cult of celebrity that allowed it all...not that we didn't already know it, but that is what fueled the entire fiasco.

     

    It all added up to the most open-and-shut case imaginable morphing into the most improbable acquittal I've ever heard of. looking back all these years later it is even more astonishing.

     

     

     

     

  11. Yes - but the point myself and some are making is that the lengthy exploration that was done in episode 2 could have been not so long (even half as long IMO) and still could made the point very clearly and effectively to provide the context later. Honestly after continuously being beaten in the head about the race issue for the first hour of that episode, and then proceeding to be beaten for another hour in the second (where is OJ?), I was questioning the agenda of the filmmakers. The point was made, but they just kept beating on it for 2 hours.

    Warning: if you feel "beaten in the head" by that, you probably shouldn't watch the rest of it.
