She is black. What are you implying?

TJ Graham emerging as a standout WR in OTA's -2013

Why are you afraid of the small problems? They are obstructions, yes, but waiting an extra 40 minutes at the airport makes you afraid? The flaw in your argument is that the "small" problems that we agree upon have root "big" causes. One of Greg's main points is that there is widespread fear mongering on the possible threats of terrorism. That built up fear is used as a blanket justification. Will the TSA stop running ineffective checkpoints within the next year? Absolutely not. One of your "small" problems is a symptom of a big one. And that's why you might want to sweat the big stuff. FYI: the rest of your examples are symptoms of larger problems, but I just framed this point in one to keep it focused.

Geno could throw 3 INT's and have them down 17 in the first 5 minutes. Points "allowed" indeed.

I remember getting told over and over Chandler has no chance of being the #2 TE for NE. No way he jumps Wright or Hooman-whatever on the depth chart, they said. He's gonna be a camp body in case of injuries, they said.

Maybe the Ravens trade for Lindley and we could do the same?

This.

If we got a day one quality G starter in Miller, I would pack C Dubs' bags myself.

That's every player. Remember when Bron sat on the ground for a possession and a half whining for a call last round?

If EJ doesn't lead this team to the playoffs, I just don't see him "emerging" as our starter for the future. Those things go hand in hand. We aren't the Raiders, where above average QB play will only get us to 8-8 at best. So, A. I will worry about 5 years from now when we get there.

Another strange transition from the books.

Remember when you said Jordan had Pippen, conveniently forgetting Lebron went 2-2 in the Finals with Bosh and Wade? 6-0! Who has Lebron competed with to get the the Finals every year? A Paul George with one good year? A Carmelo Anthony led Knicks disaster? D Rose who hadn't played a game the 3 years before this season? Compared to Jordan's competition?

6-0. 6-0.

I'm torn because I like Kyrie, but I'm so happy everyone is counting out Lebron already. Remember when Jordan got counted out in a Finals? Oh, wait.

Lebron will Herculean effort in game 4, Warriors in 5.

Lebron is taking Shumpert and Smith, not half that roster. Smith was 6MOTY with Melo, and Shump was a young, developing star. Melo gets flak for not being Lebron. It's not fair. Nuggets suck, also. They never missed the playoffs with Melo.

Are we just gonna sit here and pretend it shouldn't be "paid."

This. Cam can buy all the laptops and paint he wants now, while chucking up fades to Kelvin Benjamin.

World-building over storytelling.

Seriously. Martin broke some cardinal rules of storytelling early, which was refreshing, but there is too much happening.

Again, I just don't put him on the same tier as Kaep and the rest.

Scott Chandler survived FA once. A short while later, he was on the Pats.

I mean, I suppose he's mobile. So is Aaron Rodgers. Especially compared to a statue like Brady. But very mobile? Sounds more like a Wilson, Newton, Kaep type. IMO. List your "very mobile" QB's in today's NFL. You put Smith on that list? We didn't win all our games with Orton, ergo he wasn't the best QB on the roster.

I don't think that's how that works.
