Re: Justin Fields Megathread - A story of Lovers and Haters

Continuity? Poles said from the outset that he's building for the long-term, aiming for sustained success. Jettisoning your head coach after just two seasons, the first being a complete tear down of the roster, doesn't fit with that strategy. I'm inclined to give Ebeflus another year if he wins at ...

Re: NE trying to pull a Bears move

NE was begging the stealers to take the win from them but with Trunisky at the helm they simply couldn’t do it.

I was clearly wrong on him. I talked myself into the pick after the draft and held onto that belief WAY too long.

I just always had the impression they overpaid a bit it, so I was assuming they’d take a loss on it.

Re: Draft Season is Already Upon Us

Good news!!!! N. E. didn’t pull a Bears move and blow it!!! They are at 3 wins so I think the panthers have to win 3 of 5 to NOT get the first pick.

They did try real hard to hand it to them.

I don't care about tension, but I do care about 20 starts in 46 games (25/51 if he makes it through the end of this one). Even if you're generous enough to throw out year one, that's still 18/29 (23/34). That ain't good. That would obviously impact the price. If Jenkins wants paid like you get 17 g...

Count me as a Nabers guy. He looks like a pretty damn good consolation prize at #6. He doesn't run many routes at LSU but he has the short-area quickness to do it. Plus, he's a very scary deep threat and his size+quickness makes him a dynamic RAC guy. Also, I think MHJ is a more well-rounded receiv...

Yep...brutal.
