Drew Brees was a tennis star in his youth as well (couldn't beat Andy Roddick at some point in their Texas teen years, which helped to show him the path to football), and also had shoulder issues...

bye, felisha

You're getting colder.

Definitely. Although, our own homegrown zealots have had a violent streak from time to time. I've had some interesting chats with people of all faiths, and it's all mostly bonkers to me. People afraid to accept that there's so much we don't get to know. And back to Geno yet again, is anyone even surprised by this? He just never seemed to have it upstairs.

Bit of a complex there? FWIW I generally appreciate your football takes.

I appreciate your openness and all that, but your approach to evolution is a bit...limited. Why would crocodiles evolve dramatically (except to become smaller over the eons) when what they do works perfectly well for their survival? Now, as for Geno Smith and football (which I think we're supposed to be chatting about), no one has ever accused him of being a genius, or being good at processing lots of information rapidly and accurately. Students in one of my classes this term are reading The Death of Expertise, and we discuss all kinds of flagrantly anti-reason positions. This one has gained some unfortunate popularity among a certain cohort of celebrities recently.

Obviously a guy with emotional issues. The poster I quoted also seems to have some anger issues with people of different political views. But don't act like code-switching isn't a real thing black people have to do to not feel so exposed.

You've dropped a couple nuggets in this thread. Chill.

This loose interpretation of the term "potential" just isn't all that clever.

I don't think Fergy is pulling our legs, here.

I don't hate the all-in approach Joe B is suggesting here. I don't love the kill-all approach Cortes used on the natives in Mexico. But I guess he was a badass motivator, eh?

I like your thinking here, and I've seen it mentioned before. While I'm not so sure of the value Washington represents in the 1st, it is difficult to argue that 22 is too high for a highly productive 3-year starter at QB. Whether people like Rudolph as a prospect or not, QBs get overdrafted.

This is effing solid. Carry on.

Because he's a nancy boy? Not that I support the likes of that doofus reporter, but...TB12 ain't one for fisticuffs, I imagine. "Down to Earth"?! "Humble"?! That's rich.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

He'd benefit greatly from having the extra coaching in his headset after the snap. Did wonders for Brady's development.

Which is why he was passed up SIX TIMES by EVERY TEAM in the league, including the one that drafted him.

Yep. The whole "concerned" card he often plays is too obvious. Was it SavorEdwards who did that, or was it someone else?

Cheating and arrogance breed hate, in fact. Also, lots of unrest surrounding a silly fanbase nickname, coined in jest.

How karma "works"? Like, there's a specific set of principles by which this cliché functions?

I really like that kind of drive. Get it, Kirk.

I'm just here to read the work of such stable geniuses. You guys are, like, really smart. Once upon a time Republicans held noble positions on a wide host of issues, not the least of which was their championing of civil rights.

Obviously Mayfield looks great through this lens of analysis. Rudolph doesn't look too shabby, either. Allen looks like a physically talented mess. And thanks for posting. No wonder this isn't inspiring tons of responses. It is thoughtful, empirical, emotionless, etc.

Is that me downing the beer, or you?

Roman's offense had MUCHO pre-snap motion. Like, more than most. Kinda his thing; outflanking defenses, exploiting mismatches based on motion and alignment. Waiting for him to evaluate his offensive staff and make desired changes?
