I think we actually offered him a little more. I get the feeling he didn't like Evero's defense or how he was used. 

This!

Watch them hire some even bigger buffoon.

I guess in theory that there could be a bigger buffoon but Newton has set that bar pretty high…

Screw Newton!  I just hope that Chau makes the second year leap that Horn and Canales are claiming.  Would be nice to see our draft picks progressing.  Maybe we do have better position coaching under Canales and can develop players like real NFL teams do.

TMJ, right?  Amirite?  I knew it…

If there is a razor blade involved, I’m guessing it’s classic coke.

If Bryce is Purdy level in 3 years.. tag, trade and start back over 

I wonder if Team Bryce realizes that this year he is playing for his next contract; that this is make or break for him.  If he doesn’t shoot the lights out this year, I don’t think the team passes on the QB’s coming out next year.

Better won’t be enough to keep the team from drafting another first round QB.  We’ve given him the tools, including T-Mac.  No more excuses.  He needs to look like the number 1 pick.

If the escort rumors are to be believed, seeking "professional help" is what got him in this problem in the first place!

Sure didn’t help Deshaun Watson.  I was thinking more along the lines of a psychiatrist or professional counselor.

She was reported to have caused some trouble during a recent interview as well.

Current rumor surrounding her is that they met because she was working as an escort, but I don't know that there's any actual evidence supporting that theory.

Regardless, she does seem to be giving off some "Lady Macbeth" vibes.

As much as I hate the Patriots, I can’t take any joy or satisfaction seeing Bill crash and burn like this.  He needs professional help.  

This whole discussion reminds me of the scene in the movie 'Moneyball', when Billy Beane is sitting in the room with his highly skeptical scouts.  "He gets on base."

We need to be giving him constant bjs all offseason to make sure he keeps a pep in his step.

Eventually we will be forced to quit fuging around at center and find an actual long term solution. It's inevitable.

I wish it were so…

Didn't our current GM make a brief appearance and dickheads dragged him for his pizza joint and history of head injuries?

Some people just don't deserve good things in life.

Some of us ate there.  I had no complaints.

so last night my daughter who is playing softball had a parents vs daughter softball scrimmage. i grew up playing baseball and played softball for most of my college and adult life up until about a decade ago. i didn't really have any reason to stop, but i also wasn't in any situations to play. i figured, "why not?"

well, now i know "why not?". about 8 years ago i slipped at work and banged my head on the concrete floor. had a concussion that was pretty bad for a while, but that was a long time ago. the only lingering thing going on is that i have double vision, but i'm used to is. i've adjusted....or at least i thought i had.

i played catcher (one of the positions i used to play a lot) and i got up to bat. both ended up being terrifying. apparently when you've got double vision, it also affects your depth perception. i couldn't see the ball coming. well i saw it, but i didn't know where it was. i got hit once and i thought, "ok. i'm done."

i'm talking to my wife about it and she says, "well, you're probably never going to play softball again." that's a sad realization for some reason. well it was in the moment. then my thought was, "i really have to pee" and i was over it. 

point of all that is, getting old is...... interesting. 

thanks for letting me share. 

Waiting now for Ortho Carolina to schedule my knee replacement.  I feel you.

Ransom isn't being brought in to be the free/boundary safety. He's coming in to be the back-up and eventual replacement for Trevon Moehrig as the strong/box safety.

Moehrig's current deal has his cap hit leaping from $7.2M this season to $21.3M next season and $22.5M in 2027. He can be cut then though to save $16.5M.

Ransom being a day three pick means that he's going to have to cut his teeth on special teams and be ready to rotate in if Moehrig goes down.

I believe that the team is still looking to bring in Blackmon to be the starting FS, but could see them opting to see what Demani does as the starter.

Thanks.  That clears it up for me.  Much appreciated.

Both of our safeties can play deep in cover 1, 2, 3, 4. They can read run quickly and they take smart angles.  They can cover most RBs and TEs in man.  Before, we had some Willie Mays playing Center field 20 yards off the ball.

If that is true, then I’m liking this pick a whole lot more.

Because Chinn couldn't cover

And Ransom?  I don’t follow OSU so, I have only seen the highlight videos and write-ups.  He is a heat seeking missile in run defense but questionable in coverage.  I really hope that assessment is incorrect and he comes with coverage skills but, the write-ups I’ve read list coverage skills in the ‘weakness’ category.

If we can generate a pass rush we won't need all world safeties back there

I understand the theory but if that were true, why did we let Chinn go and didn’t we just draft Chinn V2.0?  If Evero couldn’t figure out how to use Chinn effectively, what is different about Ransom?  Not trying to be argumentative but, make it make sense

I think the Evans pick is under appreciated.  I think he will be our TE1 in 2026.

I know that highlight reels are always ‘best of’ but this guy could be the real deal at TE.  Effective blocking inline and great hands across the middle of the field.  He could be starter in year 2.

Since apparently it’s now okay to be politically incorrect, thought I would share this epiphany…

Waiting to hear Dan explain how this pick was BPA…
