  1. This dude is off his rocker. Every thread has to devolve into simping for Sanders/Ward. It's completely ridiculous.
  2. You know, I don't hate the Redskins as much without Snyder there. They are so far removed from their glory years or even hope of glory that I rarely even see their fans in NC anymore. Because of that, they annoy me far less than in the 90's and 2000's.
  3. Fair but we also can tailor our entire scheme around a player that really is not an elite player at an elite position. I love Chinn but he didn't fit what we were doing and our plans for him didn't work out. It just is what it is.
  4. I think you are really trying too hard to make a narrative that makes very little sense. Did the refs block a GW FG? Or, IDK, it could be that is a great football team filled with great players and also great coaches?
  5. This argument doesn't hold up. 2024: 2nd least penalized. 2023: 14th 2022: 7th 2021: 24th 2020: 29th 2019: 15th 2018: 32nd 2017: 27th 2016: 18th 2015: 12th There isn't a real pattern here. They were a top 10 least penalized team in 2022, as well. Long before the Swift nonsense. Also, the fuging idiots who watch because of Taylor Swift don't know or care at all about the game being played.
  6. Yeah, ain't nothing we could have done about it. This spilled milk isn't worth crying over. I liked them both as players so I am happy to see them doing well.
  7. Would love to get Deone Walker from UK. I think he is gonna be a stud.
  8. That was such an obviously bad pick. It's insane.
  9. I am not sure how the narrative has become "we got rid of Luvu." He wanted to leave and go play for Dan Quinn, which was a very smart move on his part. Chinn was a square peg that Evero couldn't use. Frankly, he wasn't the only DC with that issue. Organizationally, going back to Matt Rhule GM, they had literally always said they wanted him to be a DB. So, that is generally where all the resources were spent in his development. Unfortunately, he was never able to become anything but a liability in coverage, so that sort of defeats the purpose of being a DB. So that blame stretches back long before Evero was here. Frankly, Chinn needed a fresh start somewhere else.
  10. Yeah and eventually Steve Smith came back into the fold. Tepper won't last forever and when he is gone, Cam will get the respect he deserves. It's just sad that a hypersensitive manchild like Tepper holds some fuging grudge against Cam despite the fact that it was Tepper who was pushing to get rid of him all along.
  11. Yes, hence the "don't get fixated." When QB needy becomes QB desperate, you trade up to get Bryce Young. Did we trade up to get Cam? Did we have to do any draft magic to get Jake? How about Steve Beuerlein? There is more than one way to skin this cat so being desperate and stupid isn't going to do anything but fail over and over. Just like it did with Bryce.
  12. Yeah, we will probably take a long time for this to pan out.
  13. Yes, you misunderstood because you aren't that sharp. So, basically, if you aren't lightspeed retarded you don't assume that draft picks will pan out. Because of that, you hope that possibly a pick will be okay
  14. I get you are a super fan but it's unlikely that Sanders will be an elite NFL QB. It's also unlikely he will be available when we are picking.
  15. I think we will be a 4 win team too. Probably beat Dallas and then one NFC South win. I don't think that ends up as top 5, though. Likely 6-10 range. Hella competition for that #1 overall.
  16. Look, I wish it was different but we have a fuging retarded owner so we are likely to be utter chaos for a long time. You may as well embrace the suck, homie. It just is what it is.
  17. I mean, do you want to keep firing darts at this board blindly? How badly do you want to cement our status as the new Browns?
  18. The difference is that some of us have been fans since the very beginning. That's 30 years of this poo. Most of that time was without a franchise QB. This is not anything new to OG fans. Been here before. Your ideas of instant contender status with a QB are quite frankly, moronic. There are several years left of building, even with Pat Mahomes.
  19. Going back to Dalton just seems inevitable. I never really thought differently about that.
  20. You are making the mistake that all desperate GM's and coaches typically do right before they get fired. Also the same mistake that keeps bad franchises that way for a long time. Also.....LITERALLY THE SAME MISTAKE THAT LED TO US TRADING UP TO GET BRYCE YOUNG. You can't get so hyperfocused on one position(even the most important position in football like QB) that you just draft a QB and any QB. This leads to wasted draft picks and years of torment as you are stuck in a development cycle for nothing. Sanders and Ward are unquestionably high caliber NFL propsects. They are also not particularly universally viewed as "can't miss" guys. If we deem them as the BPA when we are picking, so be it. If not, also fine. Fanboi out all you want but when it basically leads you down the "I HOPE WE LOSE ALL THE GAMES!!! I NEEDZ MY GUYZ!!!!" road, it isn't going to end well. That's not being a fan of a team, that's just being a player fan. Also, if we don't get our franchise QB this draft....oh well. We got the next dozen or so drafts to keep taking cracks at it. Same as anyone else in the same spot that we are.
  21. I would argue this has literally always been the case for almost the entire existence of the NFL. There are substantially more busts than hits, across all rounds. I would say also that there doesn't appear to be much evidence for college quarterbacks being less prepared than before. Certainly in some cases they are vastly underprepared but that has always been the case. I would definitely make the argument that in every single major sport that athletes are VASTLY more experienced than 20, 30 and more years ago. A lot of that is due to earlier specialization in sport(versus just playing all the sports from K-12), DRAMATICALLY more reps and practice(travel ball, summer leagues, etc) and far greater access to specialized training(most high end players/prospects have specific trainers even before college). All of these things were not readily available decades ago. So the theoretical "10,000 reps" are being hit far, far sooner for most younger athletes. As for the argument for "gimmick offenses" being a problem. I mean....think about how prevalent things like the triple option were in the 70's, 80's and even 90's. Or just offenses in general that were absolutely extinct at the NFL level. I think there are some general issues with certain positions and the development cycles in college but overall, the development in college has actually improved tremendously. The thing is, it's never going to improve enough to where you are just getting insanely high hit rates on prospects or large percentages of draft picks immediately playing like 8 year veterans. It will never really work like that.
  22. The merchandise sales are such an infinitesimally small portion of NFL revenue as to be completely laughable. The NFL is as prone to wanting big market teams or traditional powers to succeed as any other major professional sport in the country. I don't really think there is a lot of evidence of "team bias" as much as there is ample evidence of "star player bias." The NFL has suffered from that for decades. It's also not as prevalent as it is in the NBA, which is just transparently tilted towards the star players. Overall, this season the refs have stood out more for their general incompetence rather than anything fishy. Still not as bad as some referees in professional sports(but MILES better than the glorified rec. refs that are in college sports). There does appear to be a general decline in the NFL refs this season. Haven't paid enough attention to see if it is certain crews or not.
  23. So for the "tankers" show me on this video where a good time to tell these dudes to lay down and lose is?
