Davidson Deac II

We are restructuring the roster, and NFL teams do that every year. Especially with a new coach/staff/front office. I have only seen one NFL team actually tank, the Dolphins. And it still hasn't paid off for them.

Most of them will last if you do the Maintenance and treat them well. I bought a Yard Machine el cheapo riding mower when I bought my house back in 1998. It lasted until the Covid epidemic. Regarding Home Depot/Lowes, they are fine if you are going to do the maintenance yourself. Getting maintenance done by a shop can be a pain though. They give people who bought their own mowers, or a brand they sell first priority. So if you are good at doing the maintenance, then Lowes is fine.

My reading comprehension is fine. The author, and you, just wanted some clicks, nothing more. They said that they weren't thinking about a name change of any sort at this time. Basically, it was corporate PR talk for, we aren't going to do that, but we aren't going to tell people we aren't going to do it.

The article said they dont have any plans to change the name back at this time. They wont change it back.

Fair enough. My point was though that the term generational talent or prospect gets thrown around way to much and more often than not, turns out to be inaccurate.

By a handful of people perhaps. But if he was widely believed to be a generational talent, then I think he would have been taken in the top 20 of the draft. He wasn't even the top receiver taken in the draft.

All this yammering about generational talent and for that matter, great receiver class is just talk. Means nothing until we see it on the field. The players coined as generational talents almost never become a generational talent. Meanwhile, the guys who were generational talents (Randy Moss, Jerry Rice, our own Steve Smith), were not really recognized as such until they actually played. Regarding our own selections, I just hope we get 3-4 good players out of this draft.

Fwiw, I am somewhat Optimistic. We will likely be bad in the upcoming season, but either Bryce shows improvement, or we pick another qb the following year, and hopefully get it right.

I am. Cam has to wind up and throw mortar shots to get it deep. Bryce may have issues as his delivery is slow and he takes a while to get it out, but he has better arm strength than Cam at this point. Cam is no longer able to do this. If he could, with his other physical attributes, he would still be playing.

I am 6'3 and 245, although certainly not a great athlete. But I wouldn't throw punches at anyone unless I had to. Especially a professional athlete.

Fwiw, I am a Wake fan. I don't think that any of it was intentional. I do think that KF saw the Wake fan running towards the way KF was headed, and put out his arm to shield himself. Of course, the Wake fan was probably talking trash, so maybe there was a little hostility in the move that KF made. But certainly, no attempt at injury by either side. That being said, court storming should be controlled better at a minimum. Most coaches think it's a bad idea. And with all the armed pyschos around today, how long before someone gets seriously injured? Not just a knee or ankle, but actually a more serious life-threatening injury.

As long as they don't look at our road record.

They have been decent the last two years, hopefully this year they get over the hump and make the tournament. This one shows the Duke player shoving a Wake fan who was running by, probably talking trash. Which is why they need to delay court storming.

I felt for years that it was only a matter of time. And with all the crazy people out there today, I think its only a matter of time before some psycho fan attacks a player on the court. They have to start giving time for the other team to exit the court, which is difficult in a game that was so close. That being said, Go Deacs.

It probably won't matter in a couple of years except to a few hard core fanatics here. If he gets traded or cut and plays well for another team, the hard core will claim its another DJ Moore, CMC situation and blame Morgan. If we sign him for 30 a year, a different group of hard core fans will complain about that. In the end though, Morgan will likely be judged on wins and what he does at QB if Young doesn't work out.

The 2001 roster was probably about as bad, and yet we kept a number of players from it and ended up in the Superbowl two years later. We had a bad team this year, but we shouldn't throw away every one just because we had a bad team.

I agree that they played well. Held the best qb in the league to 25 points in five qtrs, and one td was caused by a muffed punt. I disagree that they don't make it without him. They almost made it last year but got screwed at the qb position.

The missed blocking assignment on the third and 4 was critical as well

All the criticisms here of Purdy have me convinced that he will end up a hall of fame QB.

Maybe, but at the same time, if the xp had been made then KC plays the last drive in regulation differently. Instead of kicking the field goal from inside the 10, they have at least one and maybe two shots at a td. Mahomes with two shots at the end zone inside the ten yard probably means they have at least a 50/50 chance at a td.

I have 37.95% of my investments in vats of salt buried in the back yard, in case the end times hit.

I like Lamar Jackson, but Purdy played a much better game against the Chiefs than Jackson did. Jackson made a couple of god awful throws. Of course, I guess you could say that those were "game changers" but not in a good way.

Mahomes is the best. The SF defense held him to 19 points in regulation. Can't hardly beat that.

Purdy had a great game. If you are using Mahomes as a comparison, then every other QB in the NFL is a game manager.

Mahomes never lost in the Raiders stadium. You know the Raiders fans hate to hear that, assuming there are any Raiders fans left.
