TC coverage has been so sparse that I honestly have no idea how anyone is truly looking. I'm usually pretty indifferent about preseason, but I'll be a lot more tuned in this year simply because I have no good impression of how guys/units are looking in camp.

I still wanna know if Manziel would've translated if he wasn't such an idiot. He never gave himself a shot. You can be a wild child getting by on sheer talent in college but no one is good enough to pull that off in the NFL at QB.

You know how we've joked about cheap, high quality jerseys for years? Well, there's a lot of cheap, high quality streams out there too. I lived in CO for 14 years and never bought Sunday Ticket once.

No, not at all. Honestly, Smitty wasn't either. Dude was built like a RB. He was a short WR, not a small WR. DJ is built the same way. He's basically built like a 6' tall Smitty. And while 6' might not be a "big" WR it's not a small one either.

Wow. Honestly didn't expect him to be in that company in passing yardage. Dude was a stud. Wish we had managed his career and our roster smarter.

I'll be surprised if it's not a two man class. This draft is all about Howell and Rattler. The rest of these dudes are pretenders who dropped out of last year's class because it was so stacked.

Agreed. If Darnold flops Rhule is probably down to his last swing to find a QB.

It's all a potential path to disaster, but the high draft picks - even though plenty of them bust - have a lot higher success rate than vet retreads.

A highly drafted rookie probably buys you another two years, maybe even three if he's showing promise. Another vet flop might only get you one.

I think Tepper's patience might start wearing thin if Darnold flops.

fug a Jimmy G. If Sam flops and Watson is untouchable, it's gonna be Rattler or Howell. We're going all in.

Yep, we'll see how it plays out. I do think that if Darnold flops we're gonna swing BIG next year. Enough half stepping. Identify a QB and go get him.

Really hard to get excited about the upcoming season when you have no clue what to expect because TC is setup like an undercover CIA meeting.

Seriously. TC is basically uncoverable right now. We get maybe a dozen tweets and a few pictures from the grassy knoll each practice and that's pretty much it.

It's still the off-season. It's a borderline miracle it's still even vaguely football related.

Yeah, I'm giving us the benefit of the doubt and assuming we simply weren't that high on Fields. Because if we would've drafted him at #3 and made the trade for Darnold because we didn't think Fields would be there then passed on Fields when he did end up being there at #8... wow. We'd be really dumb.

I wouldn't be holding my breath. Hopefully he can provide decent depth.

This.

I think he'll be a HOFer but I don't think he'll be first ballot. I'd love to be wrong about that second part.

Staying somewhere that sucks.

Truly is Boston Beer and seltzer sales are tanking. It was a fad.

If I'm the DC I'm definitely pushing for the vet QB. If we're not taking a QB in the 1st, it's either OT or DB. Now I have a 50/50 shot of getting that pick to go my way.

Boston Beer is flailing right now. They bet big on the hard seltzer market that fizzled out just as they were going all in and now they're flailing. They've forgotten who they are as a company as other craft brewers have blown past them and now they're trying to figure out where they fit into the marketplace. I thought their purchase of Dogfish Head signaled a return to their roots, but they're lost. I'm not sure if they're gonna make it long-term to be honest

Outside of Burns, the rest of these guys are gonna rotate so much that I'm not sure it matters who's actually listed as the "starter". It may change week to week. Go out there and make a couple plays and the coaches are probably gonna stick with the "hot hand" that day.

The dealership is just going to do the bare minimum of what is required of them by law. At the end of the day, they don't care whether you're getting your money from a good job downtown or slinging coke on the corner. That's law enforcement and the IRS's concern not theirs. They're only going to report to the IRS what is absolutely required of them.
