If you are speaking of his maturity, he has done nothing bad and maturity has been top notch here at USC. I practically see him everyday and he has been a wonderful leader. His maturity is no longer in question.

I live right next door to Rattler and see all the games and hear all the buzz. He has done nothing at all to warrant any criticism as far as maturity. He has been a model citizen, player, leader and team representative. The young man has matured and been a solid all around student athlete.

Cant say I disagree with you. Its good to grow the game and all and I know the NFL only does it to get more fans in far off places but I see where you are coming from most definitely.

Speaking as a fan of both players since before they were drafted here, the only metric by which Brown is better than Burns is one called Personal Bias. Nah, Brown is just flat out better than Burns and worthy of a top 3 in the league at his position contract. Burns just isn't.

I agree. The American League takes the puss way out. Their damn pitchers need to be in the batters box too!

...still not pay Brian Burns top of the league at his position salary because he is not top of the league. I would then use a few bucks of my 21 billion to buy him a farewell bouquet of flowers as I either tagged and traded him or if not possible just let him walk unfortunately since our old gm was too stupid to trade him to the Rams when he had a chance. Oh, and I would buy myself one of the "Swedish suck machines" to use as I sat at my desk doing important billionaire poo. Not a late model Swedish suck machine either. One of those top of the line high end ones with the quick charge battery pack.

Its a new season, somehow maybe by a miracle we will be better and worth watching. If they could somehow hire a coach worth a poo, perhaps he could somehow at least get us competitive in his first season even without many resources currently like a number 1 draft pick.

I don't want him for head coach but he's a damn good ST coach. I kind of hope whoever the new guy is that he retains him as well as Evero

Im open to it. We have been at the bottom of the poo pile with our last two coaches.

I think you may be on to something there and I bet you are right! I was always curious of that and do remember hearing he was somewhat shy and he probably is more of an analytics guy. Good point!

Me too! So many great memories playing that one. Best game ever!

I am willing to bet he holds out if tagged. We will have to trade him for peanuts if we tag him.

I wonder why Morgan wants to be an executive and not a coach? He is obviously intelligent and was a good player. Who knows, maybe he would make a hell of a good linebackers coach that eventually moves into a total defensive coordinator and then has coach.

Hopefully so. If next season is as much a struggle as this season was we HAVE to look elsewhere at QB I would hope.

His post was one of the most reasonable I have seen. He is not asking for immediate replacement but some competition and if Bryce still can't improve after next season then replacement. I feel like that should be the plan moving forward. How many years do you think they will bring Bryce out if he keeps struggling and they have fixed the O-Line and decent receivers who give a crap and can get separation? I hope they wouldnt go further than a couple years but who knows I guess.

I still don't care. The Jag fans were probably cheering for an injury and talking crap so they got a drink thrown on them. Probably the closest thing to a bath that loser will have the entire week. Too bad Tepper didn't throw some nachos or take a dump in his hand and throw it on them too.

I have no idea how it works but last night I made a hell of a crock pot mac n cheese.

How about Bo Jackson? He's old but we could use someone opposite of Hubbard since Miles Sanders must plan on taking the next couple years off here in Carolina.

This whole thread makes me feel down

He has to drive a Toyota Prius judging by his goofy stance on some issues in the past. What a tool.

Unfortunately no. I dont believe he has that in him.

Well, I think the O-line did suck, most of our receivers sucked (not Thielen) and the coaching sucked but also Bryce sucked something awful as well and just looked overmatched, weak, afraid, hesitant and like he belonged as a 3rd string backup in NFL Europe or the USFL or something like that.
