There is an element of remembering that just because people in the new regime weren’t fans doesn’t mean cordy did anything wrong. Tyler could be right, and Glenn still be a fine guy

Or intern on the keyboard

Its easy to work someone in if you think it’s important. A $20m signing bonus is only $4m in this years cap. You just have to choose wisely. I don’t care about the personality a ton— but worry he’s the type that won’t live up to the deal he’s about to get. I also doubt we are trading picks for and giving monster deals to both Benjamin and him. I think our dynamic guy is coming from the draft.

Feeling better after the big fight?!? ?

So not only do you expect our scouts to find the once every 5-10 year prospect at qb but particularly the one that hundreds of professionals missed so we can get him outside the top pick — instead of taking a shot at a guy high this year because those aren’t slam dunks (even though our scouts might see something you don’t)

I think buffalo rushed into that decision. Impulse control always seems to be an issue.

How do you jump on that one guy unless you know something no one else does?

But that’s why this is a tough poll- where they land is huge. If the reports are true that the saints like mayfield I’d be a lot quicker to vote him than if the jets do. I don’t think any of these guys are the once in a generation talent that is a slam dunk to be good anywhere they go. How often do you see those guys though?

Beyond that — I think maybin was the most foreseeable bust probably. Dude barely qualified as a sack artist in college. Im curious if he meant biggest bust or worst pick. Subtle changes in interpretation can make a big difference in the discussion. Big mike was the big bust... but was he the worst pick?

Generally top picks are a coin flip so it makes sense we’d see a split

Are you lonely at home? It feels like you might be lonely.

Say it 8 times. You may not be personally defending it but you shouldn’t be surprised when you post a possible explanation and you receive a response that doesn’t agree with the take. It’s not like i burst in insulting you but simply said if you have the rights to a guy there’s no reason to move on until it’s accomodating another move. Weve had this discussion a few times with other decisions Beane made (firing the scouts and then rehiring a few for instance).

I tend to agree. Which is why it felt to me like there was some sort of personal animosity between them and felt uncomfortable with the timeline (again could be nothing) Im all for justice but think that includes taking emotions down and following the fact patterns and giving even criminals a fair shake to defend themselves.

To be fair the standard at a grand jury is pretty low. Having a cop say he saw something in and of itself likely has a pretty good batting average in a grand jury itll be interesting to learn why this really took so long and what’s been going on. I’m sure we will learn a lot more soon. I’ll again say I don’t doubt Bennett was a schmuck but I’m curious to actually hear more about the incident and investigation. That it came back around after his other incident with police feels kind of uncomfortable but there could be an easy answer why

It happens all the time- not just 6 seeds either. We’ve seen division champs skate in with luck or circumstance Again, why I’m saying I don’t think simply getting in is that big of an accomplishment or the 7 that much of a failure. I’d obviously rather land 6 and have a shot than 7 and be home but don’t think I change my evaluation at all based on whether cincy completes that pass

For me - it’s the difference between a playoff team that’s a true championship contender vs the next tier of a half dozen teams that are separated by a funny bounce or rolled ankle. Whether you are the 6th seed or the 8th seed doesn’t drastically change my view of a team most years

Nah. Im going to have to find a new secret one. You know, in case this place closes. Don’t need to be at the first place you show up at telling me to leave ? seriously though, simmer down. You start a thread like that, youre likely to catch a joke or two

What was that address you posted where someone could start their own board?

Not knowing what happened and simply taking Broad strokes guesses based on the little we know.... I suspect that Bennett was a schmuck that night. I suspect that the police chief has some personal motives in this too. when both sides are a bit sketchy - simple incidents turn into big complicated ugly stories

Simmer down It was a joke because he posted his silly thread earlier this week about the topic of catching flack for starting too many threads.

Whats the perk of doing it today? If Murphy tears an ACL in the gym tomorrow- would you feel the same? until the minute a guy is signing that requires either the dollars or the roster spot you may as well carry him

If you are going to start a thread for every random idea that pops in your head, I appreciate that you consolidated all of today’s into a single post

I think the bills should give me a fair shot. I might not get the job done the first week, but just you wait.

The only rush seems to be a group that wants him to be better than he probably is... he’s a day three guy for a reason. Maybe he surprises but probably not.

Fish tacos seem to be one that A LOT of people are skeptical of until they try. truly I don’t get why. I’ll throw all kinds of stuff in a tortilla.
