Rodgers whines more as he gets older. It was funny on NFLR the other day Rodgers likes all the WR to get them to GB, then doesn’t like them once there. It did seem a little premature as I would have waited until he was 38, but maybe they liked the young QB.

Weo, I know and my second comment was directed to someone else, but apologize if it came across towards you.

Weo, I’m guessing you’re kidding as I have lived here the last half of my life, and that is ridiculous. Also, someone else defending the action is ridiculous. My daughter turns 17 this September, and if some 24 year old guy was hitting on her, I’d kill the guy (metaphorically).

it’s hard to believe we actually had a better defense in 99-00, but should have a more talented offense than at that time. Teams eventually figured out how to defend against Flutie, and Johnson was a tool. 1993 was more talented though.

Thanks Bruce for sharing. If we have a complete season, then we’re playing the AFCW, and NFCW. It’s pretty aggressive for Bleacher Report to guess 11-5. I’m hopeful for 10-6, and be ready to go deep in the playoffs. It’s plausible, and playing that kind of competition will prepare us to win against playoff caliber teams.

Guys, there is 21-22% unemployment in the US. The worst since the Great Depression. Giving pay cuts vs. laying people off is a better alternative. I can’t believe how many people I know out of work. At least these employees still have a job.

He went there simply because they have a crap ton of offensive talent, he doesn’t have to put up with BB, and oh yeah he lives in heaven in Tampa. I love Buffalo, born and raised, but this is a great city in Tampa. Brady also has a coach people absolutely love in Arians. Brady was smart, and I can’t believe living here I’m going to have to root for the bastage and Gronk. People are going bananas down here and even at his age with This WR crew and TE’s, he’ll have a good year. Not saying they are winning the NFCS, but they will be better.

TD, good topic. It is so easy to compare to Newton, but I saw a significant improvement in sliding, etc. to avoid injury in year 2.

Shocker. They are cheating. Goodell just wanted a positive draft, and something will happen if they have proof. I just don’t care anymore about the Cheatriots. Not worth my time.

GB- no worries. Catching a lot of flack for this one. As my grandma said, this too shall pass.

MD, I’ll agree with you on every position, but QB. Before anyone gives me a hard time, I’m rooting for Allen, and hope he is a top QB in the next couple of years, but I wouldn’t categorize a QB who had completion ratings of 53%, and 58% as high level talent. Most analysts state they evaluate a QB as being good with a minimum of 65% or more. Look at Brees (high level talent) who has been as high as 70+% at times. Again, I like Josh, and am rooting for him, I just can’t call him high level talent yet. I’m hopeful he can get above 65% this year with this talent.

BB, good take as Allen has been fortunate his previous injuries were in the pocket, not on designed runs YET. If Allen is the guy, I don’t want to see him turn out like Newton where he is not the same player after all of his injuries. We have the right 1-2 punch with the RB’s. Kind of reminds me of Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson. We have basically the entire offensive starters returning, vs. last year with 9 new starters of 11, and I’m sure you guys remember the first time all 5 offensive line starters last year was the first week if the season. Im tentatively excited to see an efficient passing game, where we can at least, very least be ranked in the top half of all teams, and lead the league in rushing. Teams can win deep in the playoffs with that strategy. I love it as a great running game allows to do more no huddle as our defense still gets enough rest, and their defense can’t substitute.

Thanks for clarifying as I’ve had some of my friends not understand the roster size, so I end up googling the changes to help friends. Have a good Sunday even though these days it’s like Groundhog Day.

I don’t have an opinion on these two, but it begs the question how can they possibly do their due diligence on UDFA’s without seeing them. I suppose they can have scouts go out to do their hometowns, but that is a stretch.

Real, that was pretty good and pretty much agreed with you’re selections. We’ve been talking about all of these selections would never all make the team, but if they show something in whatever preseason we might have this season we can decide if these guys are practice squad worthy.

First, Yolo thanks as I’m old school, ie. no twitter, Facebook, insta whatever so appreciate the info. as always. I listened to part of the post radio show Beane taking calls from reporters. I only get so much out of those things though as you basically get the standard GM speak.

Pure speculation as it is incomplete until they play, or not and one thing I like about the guys on the Blitz, NFLR is they grade a draft from four years ago each year. This is the best way as you find out we’re they retained, did they start, did they make a large impact on their respective team and so on. For this draft, happy to play along and say B. This is primarily because I did include Diggs, and with him and the 2nd-4th picks could potentially start or at least be role players. I like their chances for doing well. It’s not common to find a Milano in the 5th, but if any of the late picks make the team barring the kicker as he has a fair shot at making the team. He’s cheaper than House $, and only because House missed quite a bit last year. If they late picks make the practice squad, or ST, then it was a good draft. This year though is an anomaly with potentially little or no training camp so it may take longer to assess these guys. It also in hindsight albeit luck that Beane pulled the trigger on the Diggs trade. He will come in and perform right away as he still has the entire off season to learn the signals, playbook, and really is at a disadvantage not getting in sync with Allen. He can though go out to Palmers camp with Allen and start to familiarize the relationship.

Doc, nice take, but the Browns haven’t proven anything, and last year in the off season, talking heads were placing 5em in the AFC Championship game. I agree the Colts should ascend this year, and the Texans looks like they will go back down. If the Titans play like they did at the end of the year, they will be a serious contender.

If this draft pans out like it had the last couple of years, I’m cool with a TE. We may look at Edge Rusher again given age, and we’ll at CB, but given this next draft is not necessarily as good at this years WR’s, it will be a really deep TE draft. Would be nice to get a real stud. Just doing a what if, what if we took Gronk, vs. Troup the pick before. Granted we didn’t have a Brady, but Fitz would have made Gronk shine.

Ray ray as you know won’t be here anyway. Agreed on you’re post. They did it right these last three days on just about every position.

Bill, it’s always a good day when we get “a few thoughts about today” as we always looked forward to it Sunday night or Monday morning. Maybe you can resurrect after big games our favorite post. I know Hapless, Chandler, 3 and 12 and so on would love it. BTW, living down here so long, I have the upmost respect for what Saban has done for Roll Tide. Have a good night friend. MGK

Clowney? Never happening.

Jake seems like a guy needing development, and since I watched a lot of Davis happy with the 4th round, but you draft crazy guys, was there a better CB available? I don’t know so will defer to my learned colleagues. I get the QB pick and maybe speaks to N insurance policy for Allen, or maybe it was just a young back up. I just hope at the least we grab a CB to back up our right side guys. I still contend Beane has done a masterful job with the free agency and now draft picks to date. Keep it up McBeane.

From of the new era one of my more favorite movies, Inglorious Bastards, “That’s a Bingo”. I stand by what I said before on 32, paying a ton, and giv8ng up trade capital. Beane said, yeah, no. Good call. SF thinks they could win this year so I get it. That’s why they are not worried about next years contract. They want the ring.

It’s really not a surprise for Baltimore given the decade long success in the draft, although they had a couple of years as a lull. Izzy was a heck of a GM, and Harbaugh is a heck of a coach. I’m hopeful Beane and McDermott do the same. It was kind of funny yesterday the NFLR guys were commenting how GB picked a QB, and Rodgers old coach, now for Dallas takes Lamb. He must have been fuming given he is still only 36. You can understand in two years, but they needed weapons for Rodgers.
