  1. Mahomes for the rule breaking post outside of the merged thread
  2. its fine and good for the 1% to tell Joe 6 pack to pony up for PSLs but that won't create new jobs to pay for them. IMO for this to work with our fan base we should be allowed to adopt the Packers community ownership model which is currently disallowed by Goodell and his Greedathon cronies. Apparently the estate battle of the Bud Adams heirs re the Titans also violates this rule so it bears watching.
  3. this draft is too deep at DB for us to take chances on a guy who won't play week 1
  4. so can we wait till round 2 or later to address Safety and CB?
  5. This team and its fans just grew on me and I will probably never shake it in my lifetime. My 1st NFL game was at the Ralph and i feel like a child everytime I go there. If we ever get good again it will be ecstacy (the feeling, not the drug )
  6. I'd have to say Hughes. Love Shady but veteran RBS with high mileage just don't fetch what they used to
  7. I was truly angered and embarrassed by that game. Made us look like a junior varsity franchise. If we don't get a good QB prospect in this draft I'll blow a gasket.
  8. I generally agree with the premise of the thread but could live with a QB in the second round, no later
  9. The owners will get fabulously rich but the Raiders won't have homefield advantage because most of the fans will be from somewhere else. This will be the tipping point in the league's relationship with its fans.
  10. why don't we just draft the entire Huskies roster and get it over with? No QB = fail. Ross looks like a track star not a football player. No thanks
  11. if i recall, the Seahawks started off in the NFC West when they first joined the league
  12. we have not successfully developed a drafted QB since Joe Ferguson
  13. moved to Ontario from British Columbia when I was 19. I grew up rooting for the Raiders and Seahawks (and still do). A friend brought me to a Bills game on a bus tour package. Saw the Bills in their glory years versus Elway in his prime. That same season I went to the final home game where they clinched the division against the Jets. I was hooked. I convinced a few drinking buddies we should go in a season ticket package and we're still at it 13 years later. Bad football, great memories.
  14. stats based personnel selection
  15. The Browns have bought in big to Moneyball and brought in some of the best minds in the business. The ownership looks committed to making the necessary investments for genuine organizational change. I read a few years back that OBD created a position just for stats based research but there was no word on whether the franchise as a whole was committed to this as a guiding ideology. I guess my question is we aren't committing to this,what game plan are we committing to?
  16. Is OBD committed to a Moneyball approach like the Browns? I'm still trying to figure out what the Browns are going to do with Osweiler.
  17. I've been critical of Whaley but there's no way he's solely to blame for our failures. A GM can only be as competent as ownership adnour organization has been a trainwreck. No GM could overcome that. EJ was Buddy Nix' pick IMO.
