  1. Maybe just about anyone can join the military but I don't think that's comparing apples. It takes elite mental and physical skills to be at the highest divisions of the military. Few people on the planet can make it to The 10th Mountain Division for example.
  2. I agree Josh needs to get better, but IMO Daboll stinks at calling a game and McDermott doesn't trust the offense. Part of Josh's development is overcoming those two things or they have to get better too.
  3. IMO, this is part of the issue. Even with good intentions, it's narcissistic to feel that only recently have white people been enlightened to changing.
  4. Poor fella drew the short straw on where he was born.
  5. This is not the greatest news. That's a contract I wouldn't want pushed out another year.
  6. IMO, there's not a player with splash available in free agency at a position of need. I'm not trading any future picks.
  7. I'm not sure researching the truth is always the driving force.
  8. I definitely agree that the lack of weapons was a massive issue which actually exacerbates Daboll's flaws even more. We would abandon the run continuously. Singletary would be having a 7.5 YPC game and he would call passing plays at alarming levels, then he'd bring in Gore and Singletary would be a non factor. He's maybe one of the worst play callers we've had, IMO. I do like a lot of his play designs but he lacks understanding of the flow of the game. I will never forgive him for having DiMarco as the X in overtime of the playoffs for several plays. That goes beyond just lack of play makers.
  9. You changed the subject but my second point did too. Wilson, Rodgers and Brady did not make sub par players better in their first 2-3 years. I in turn get frustrated when legit points are deemed excuses. Anyone that thinks Allen has an equal chance to succeed as the QB's you mentioned, especially with advantage of hindsight, does not fully understand the problems with our offensive philosophy. Daboll is not good at his job and McDermott has a difficult time trusting offense. They have an opportunity to help or be a burden to Allen again. We'll see if McDermott can be a Belichick - by being a defensive coach while allowing the team to be lead by the offense.
  10. Brady, Rodgers and definitely Wilson didn't do that in their first 2 years. What all three of them had in common was they were surrounded by excellent offensive coaching in their formative years and beyond. This is something I'm concerned about. IMO, iIt's put up or shut up time for Daboll and McDermott offensively. Allen has the skills and Diggs elevates everything - so he finally has proper weapons. Can they help him or does he have to try and overcome them like many many other failed QB's have had to do in the NFL is the question.
  11. I'm not sure but he shot the course low round yesterday. That's pretty amazing.
  12. Ridiculous coverage There he is
  13. I think the team sent the message first by signing Hooper to a huge contract and then drafting a player in the 4th.
  14. They drafted Bryant in the 4th round.
  15. And threw for 59.8%. Isn't it 60% or bust? You'll never see the 2015 Cam Newton again because his rushing helped him tremendously.
  16. The empty seats were left unoccupied for those that wanted to social distance. Few took advantage of those sections.
  17. Sorrento cheese isn't just a local company anymore. Get over it.
  18. Just ignore state income tax, lack of night clubs and we're on the ugly side of the falls?
  19. There's no way Kamara would report. No one wants to play in Buffalo.
  20. I'll watch because it's always interesting to me to view anything NFL behind the scenes. However - they couldn't pick two more boring teams to cover.
  21. So you'd take the 3rd or 4th rated TE for example with a lower grade just so it's not sloppy 7ths, 9ths or 11ths? Widely talked about as a deep WR class - so yeah you're going to get deeper into the amount taken naturally. However with that deep of a class there could be someone they rated higher than others at the position there. What if Beane and company have a WR rated as the 4th best WR coming out and he's there and 8 were picked prior. You wouldn't want Beane to take him because he's the 9th WR taken?
  22. If there's a wide receiver with the highest grade on their board available at our pick - they will take him.
  23. I think that's a personal choice that you should decide for on your own.
