Linville can say what he meant, easily enough. Reads one way to me. And yeah whatever about all this poo.

Looked that up. Some places say he has it, and some say Gary Brackett in 2010 with I think they said 13 individual tackles. I thought Dan may have had 25? I find 18. Possible that 18 were in combination with others so maybe it is two different records. I found this cool paragraph: Dan Morgan holds the record for single-game tackles, amounting 18 for the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII against the New England Patriots. No. 3 on the list is Panthers safety Mike Minter with 14, while linebacker Will Witherspoon is tied for No. 4 all-time with 13 – all in the same game. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/super-bowl/super-bowl-best-individual-defensive-performances-history/645871/ That is pretty unbelievable, 3 of the 4 top totals by guys from the same team - in the same game.

I see. Okay you are out of context there, It isn’t referring to the NFL, maybe read it again. To me it clearly reads to mean he couldn’t win a NC with Alabama. “In that environment” is referring to college/Alabama. yes it says recreate Saban’s Bama in the NFL but the reference about not winning refers to the NC game he lost.

That is what was posted. Nowhere does it say can’t. It says The Pro Bowl roster. Not an offense with two or three pro bowlers on it. Who I am not sure all made the pro bowl in Cam’s rookie year or did not. Maybe a different year. I sort of doubt they all did that year. Let’s be accurate.

Maybe. The part about Walker and 4 mil is true enough.

Three years of “banter” is a dark place. Same poo over and over. I just want it decided. By him. I need to see him respond when a top defense clamps down on our run game and dares us to throw. I need to see him not wilt in those circumstances. His small margins for error make everything harder for him but he asked for it and the team asked for it. That’s what you are working with. Time to show it isn’t a waste of time. Cause it feels like a waste of time so far.

damn I wish somebody would sign him. This has been going on for weeks. I think if the team wanted to sign him we probably would have heard something about interest on our part. Or any TE. It looks like they have set that room. And we have taken guys two years running, a guy like this would be blocking them. We need to see if they have it or not. And we should see if Tremble is gonna ever do anything. In general, with the TEs

Would you just fuging quit trying to make us like him? That is his job, not yours. Thank you.

It never stops.

Dear Cranky, I definitely equate his size and shortcomings - mainly with his mediocre arm strength and his difficulty seeing the field and his tippy toe technique - the limitations it puts on the offense … I associate that with losing, yes I do. Guilty.

You can play one through six degrees of separation with all of them if you want. Okay they have this in common or that in common. I don’t know how to assign meaning to it without evaluating each one. For example in Darnold’s case his arm could bail him out sometimes and it could get him in trouble sometimes. Bryce is not going to get bailed out by his arm. He very obviously, IMO, has trouble seeing the field and his margins with his arm strength are smaller or thinner than a guy like Darnold’s margin would be. By a lot. Or Stafford. Hell he threw a ball almost 80 yards when he was young and can still do 70. Bryce does not have that. If he succeeds it is because he is near perfect. I just don’t consider him as offering me any real advantages.

They should have given me a consulting fee I could have saved them those 6 years minus about ten minutes

He is on a two year deal. I wish they would just leave it at that. If he balls out Tepper will pay him and if he actually does that, well I don’t think he would want to leave. Because his balling out will be because they have put everything possible around him. It will all be right here.

Okay they will decide. Not arguing that. I simply brought up things outside of strictly unbiased evaluation that may influence the decision. IOW I think the deck is stacked in his favor and he will have to Phuck it up with a no doubt regression to spare us.

Well he is a flat out great analyst so I get why. If you listen to radio he sees things so fast, best we have ever had in that regard. But fug that they can’t have him. I want to keep him in the family here. Tepper you have the money.

Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them. If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot. IMO. And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have. Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again. IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.

I felt like it was the OL, closely followed by QB. And today, in the present, yeah QB. He has limited us so much. I am looking forward to see what adjustments Bevell brings, and what Idzik does. Will they be able to get more out of him?

Canales said we don’t draft for depth, but we surely are doing that. Starters in waiting so to speak. I don’t mind that. They say for every rookie you start you take one loss, rule of thumb. I think we should get nice bumps from Lloyd and Phillips and am expecting to see a better Scourton. He was very young for a starter - he was 20 when we drafted him, turned 21 in late August. Not even finished growing. You have the secondary with a good year together, I thought there were some communication issues or blown assignments early last year that should be well worked out by the start of the schedule. I am not real worried about the defense. Hopefully they can get the young guys worked in by the home stretch and be a decent D. I definitely see some red flags with the offense. This line will likely take some time to gel. And more than I am thinking if they decide to go with Freeling. The running backs, we just don’t know what half of them are and they depend on that line too. And half that we do know, well Chuba obviously fell off last year and we don’t know if that was just from injury or an overall decline. We like to think injury and hope he is healthy this year, but who knows. If Idzik and Bevell add a lot of new stuff that could come with growing pains. And if we add in the annual ‘damn, I really suck at this’ start from Young, it could be a slow start for the offense.

If everything played out and that last thing happened, I probably just quit.

Lol @ Lisa Turtle.

Lol. As long as we are dreaming I would have liked to hear “well the two year option is about as far as we were willing to go, considering how strong the 2027 QB class is looking”. yeah I know it would never happen. But when they do have those internal discussions about the extension, I hope that draft class is part of what they discuss. Options.

Yeah. Aside from the questionable arm skill what I see is he lacks the thickness to absorb hits, he won’t hold up as a running QB. So not sure what his path will be.

Well they were long gone so haw can that be known? It was clear to me that we couldn’t stay put and get Rodriguez. And what were they to use to move up? Having Hunter and keeping the rest of the picks to use on these other guys was the right move in that scenario The only real pain free way to move up was to trade back in the first but when Freeling is sitting there that doesn’t look like as good of a plan

It would be nice if you are right.

I didn’t expect to see Freeling at 19. My plan was move back, take one of the guys that was still there and use the proceeds towards trading up in round two for Rodriguez. Freeling sitting there blew that all up. I knew there would be no trading up after that. Because don’t mess around, take the gift. And the ILB that I wanted in the second, over DL, that was me wanting something shiny. I think Hunter probably was the more responsible pick just like Freeling was.
