White Linen

Must be the 12 not paying him to be on their local radio.

I like the chargers lightning one.

I mean why wouldn't a team that just traded for Jordan Howard, trade for McCoy?

At some point you have to stop with the "idiots" comments and all of that. Just make your argument on substance. The offensive line does take time to come together. However with all the player and coach movement - teams, coaches and players have gotten better at tightening things up in less time. Offensive lines staying together and gelling in time is a thing of the past. The same goes for the defenses - so it does even itself out. There will be some communication penalties and missed assignments - it's naive to think that won't happen. I hate the excuses argument. Allen is heading into his second year with likely 4 new lineman. It won't be an excuse if that all doesn't come together - it's expected. It won't come all together. Allen is building a career and most believe he'll take another leap this year. To say he and the offensive line are without excuse is just following the same vein of what you detest.

Maybe I misunderstood your post.

So do you think the government should lead the way by reducing their gun ownership?

Totally agree People using guns in bad ways is something that needs addressing. People that believe in the right to protect ourselves against government don't shy away from that discussion.

Your neck - just saying

Yeah it is, that's why we need to protect ourselves against these said idiots. Some of those idiots knew they were idiots and warned us to protect ourselves from them. I think just like anything in life - when we aren't willing to see, listen and learn other points of view we're in serious trouble. We're in serious trouble. I suppose it's always been that way - just feels different now.

Same one telling you we have a gun problem.

Oh I agree. Our politicians just really have it together. They really know what's best.

I'm one of those that doesn't like the government telling me I can't have something because another person misuses it.

We need the government to save us.

Most food produced is unhealthy and we have an obesity problem . Common denominator: food

That actually does. It's going to a cause and not the family. It's just my opinion that there's a difference between giving money to the family vs cancer research. Research is worthy of using his celebrity to bring in money. I'm not trying to be ugly - just something doesn't seem right about that.

Because over 600,000 people died of cancer in 2018 in the U.S. and most of those families are not getting money. I don't know what the word is but I just don't know how I feel about using his celebrity to get money.

Maybe it's not so much that as why are they giving money to the Ezra family? Why is there a go fund me for the family?

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Naturally

He should be on the wall.

I say "whatever"

Good stuff

You in other words did say he's not a miss and it's probable that us "know-nothings pissing on the guy will suddenly fall silent and melt back under their bridges" once he's on another team. I'm not trying to disrespect you but if you think Shaq can in any stretch of the definition be called a disruptor - then I'm afraid our conversation can't continue. I also vehemently disagree that a DE can be called that without pressuring the QB. It is the most important thing they can do - even greater than sack totals. It's ok to be disappointed in Shaq, Murphy and the FO for the Murphy signing. I am. Look, he's done some things and he has gotten better. However he's burned up his value years and wasn't given a 5th year option because of it. I'm with the FO, that we need more, we have the money to get more and will.

Do you not see that these kind of statements are equally "stupid at this point"? The guy was a miss and just improving isn't enough. I'm not saying hate the guy and wish bad things on him - but strictly as a football matter - he's a massive disappointment. I'd like to have a rational football discussion with you as someone who is in opposition to you on Shaq as a player. Value is a huge factor in winning. It's critical that some players perform at a much higher level than their pay. For example Tre White. He's been a shut down corner and it's allowed us to allocate resources to other positions. When we have to pay him - then you no longer benefit from him being good because you're paying him to be. The best he can do is equal his pay and due to injuries and other things - this rarely happens when players are at the top of their pay scale. It's for this reason that you need players like Shaq to perform and when they don't it sets your team back. He's not going to be someone we cry about and regret because if he does get the 6 million a year - even if he gets better and better, he's no longer value for the play.

I think Allen's rushing yards and our run game are two entirely different things. To lump them together, IMO, isn't an indication of why Allen lead the team nor why we had such a poor rushing attack.
