  1. I agree with the OP. Even if we had drafted Russell Wilson, he never would have played. Chan was all in with Fitz and that lead to both of their dismissals.

     

    So if we had Russell Wilson on our roster right now, most everyone would still be clamoring for a new QB.

     

    You must admit one thing. Buddy Nix took a shambles of an O-line and turned it around pretty quickly and inexpensively. If Fitzpatrick would have progressed as he was supposed to, this draft would be for best player available in just about every round.

  2. You may be right. But maybe one of the reasons our QB stunk was because of Donald Jones, Brad Smith and TJ Graham.

    You can't fix it all at once. Might as well get strong somewhere.

    Our defense sucked because Wannstadt sucked.

    Draft offense, FA defense. Pray to find a QB cause there isn't one in this draft.

  3. Let's just go for killer offense this draft. Address defense in free agency.

     

    1st - Cordarelle Patterson big, fast WR

    2nd - Da'rick Rogers big, fast WR

    3rd - Best remaining tall fast receiving TE

     

    QB?...well. You can't have it all.

  4. Is that to say he's one of a group of many tranquil people under pressure, you know, for all intensive purposes?

     

    The phrase originated in legal language in the 1500s, and it may have been first used in court cases in England. The initial wording may have been "to all intents, constructions and purposes." Some point out that pluralizing "intent" is unnecessary since the word can be singular or plural without an "s" at the end, such as "his intent" or "their intent."

    In the modern sense, this phrase could be used in the following example. A person is interviewing for a job, and the boss wants to hire him. She might say, "We still need to check your references, but for all intents and purposes, the job is yours." Provided the applicants references are fine, he has landed the job and, under practical considerations, he can consider himself employed.

    Unfortunately, the phrase has gotten a little more complicated because of the numerous misquotes or malapropisms that are used in its place. One common substitution is "for all intensive purposes." This is very commonly used, and it means something almost directly opposite to the original phrase’s meaning of "for practical purposes."

    If the person who was just about hired for a job "for all intensive purposes," one could argue that that person had just been hired for work in an emergency room or an intensive care unit. The person could only be considering the prospect of a job under intensive or highly intense situations. Now, this is probably not what the speaker means, but it deliberately corrupts the meaning of the original phrase.
