The news we were all holding our breath for. I will sleep better tonight.

Holy jeebus, the bar is low for this franchise.

Says the guy with the "!?" In the thread title, indicating that you're taking it seriously to some degree or another. The best part about the draft is that all of the pre-draft nonsense (media, fans, and random podcasters alike) stops.

Well crap, if a podcaster said it then it has to be true.

One could easily argue the stakes are exactly the same since the objectives are exactly the same, and the challenges are perhaps greater in some ways since, while the NHL is generally accepted as the premier hockey league, there is still a respectable international hockey presence; America has an unquestioned monopoly on the football talent pool.

I hate the propaganda bot but at least it's something other than mock drafts.

Every one of these types of things takes me straight back to the Beason video. In shape and looked great right before he blew his knee out.

I had no idea this was going on. Huh.

But this year is different tho, because reasons.

Breaking news: team needs lots of talented players, may try to acquire more draft picks to do so. Story at 11.

In all seriousness though, the continuity definitely isn't a negative and he seems to be a quality coordinator. Good odds that the team is better off for having him return.

You're absolutely right with the 'never talk about' comment. Moton was drafted in 2017 and is going into his 8th year, 7th as a starter... just a steady, high-end presence at that RT spot.

Sure they are, but college successes do not automatically translate to the NFL. That's all I'm saying.

The NFL is not college.

And the crowd went mild.

I like it, but it would be much better if they weren't in blue socks.

To be clear, it was an extension to an already-existing tax that supports the current sports complex where the stadiums are at. The question largely failed because the downtown stadium idea is stupid and rushed, and the data backing up the benefit is dubious at best.

That is one of the least impressive 'flash reels' I've ever seen. What is this guy talking about?

This remains such an absurd assertion to make. Rookie Manning threw for 3700 yards and 26 TDs in the tail end of ground-and-pound, mug the receiver, rookie QB sits for a year or more before playing, 1990s football. He threw picks, sure, but he was very obviously an NFL QB most every week. His rookie season is in no way comparable to recent Carolina rookie seasons on the modern NFL. On topic, that was a hell of a throw. Good for Matt.

To the bot:

Eh, Baker's numbers were really back to where they were his first 3 years in Cleveland, he had the serious shoulder injury in 2021, then dealt with this utter crapshow here in 2022 before immediately looking better with McVay that same season. Maybe Canales had a lot to do with that last year and maybe not, but it's not like Baker reached some new astronomical height.
