That was just ugly. Bryce is too short and Carred to start in the NFL.

Sorry, dude, but that's just stupid. Just because a person talks with a southern drawl doesn't mean they aren't intelligent. I'd also add that standard English isn't a barometer of a person's cognitive ability. Actually, being able to adapt to different settings speaks toward a certain amount and/or aspect of intelligence. I bristle when someone begins to go down the road that you're suggesting.

I agree with you for the most part. I'd also consider Jaycee, and, yes I know that he has his injury history, but he still plays hard. He really impacts the game more than Brown if people are being honest. I can't speak to the rookies yet, but T-Mac looks like a gamer.

I mean, I haven't read the thread yet, but I'd say that Dan Morgan and company should have flaming hot seats right about now. All that money to second-rate players in order to fool people into thinking we were actually better. Wharton, Brown III, and Moehrig were overpaid. And all of you talking like DB is untouchable, think again. He's about as untouchable as Burns. We fuging suck against the run. Evero's scheme doesn't maximize efficiency against the run. The Evero experiment has produced nothing but bad results.

Obviously a family member...

Every fuging year, it's the same thing.

Why in the fug would you run a screen on third?

The Panthers need to be moving faster. It's near the fuging end of the third quarter, and we're taking our time

NO PASS RUSH!

He should've let Chuba run there as opposed to Dowdle

WTF?

Before the 2024 draft, Smitty was the only one of his national stature that gave Coker such high praise. He called him the best route runner in the class. So how is that squared?

I disagree wholeheartedly. In numerous fantasy leagues, you have one or two guys that always seem to be there at the end. FF takes a certain amount of luck for sure---maybe even a generous amount, but it also takes skill which is based upon research, calculation and a certain amount of fortitude and fearlessness. On an off note, my grandad used to say, "Luck is the residue of hard work."

Ha ha. Are you saying that in response to the whole team, or just the Panthers? LOL I was ninth, so I was stuck between C-Mac and someone lesser, and I really should've picked a receiver when I picked Chuba. But, YOLO. If CMC gets hurt, I hope that this San Fran writer was correct in his assertion that Guerendo is simply the better, more explosive backup. I know they signed Brian Robinson, but I think he's JAG more than anything else. Guerendo has a bit of an injury history himself, but he is 220 with legit 4.3 speed. I must admit that I took my chances with the receivers. I actually traded Chubb and Mixon for T-Mac. I'm hoping that Ollie Gordon learns the top spot in Miami and that Dont'e Thornton becomes the top dawg in Vegas. If that happens, I'll be great. Between Pearsall, Thornton, Golden, Coleman and X, someone has to break out. I also have Christian Watson in an IR slot (though I want to put something together to acquire Rashee Rice).

Yeah, I agree with that to an extent, but after Rhule, no way Tepper was going to cede that much control to any coach, much less Harbaugh.

And for those curious to see a more complete picture: If CMC can't go (which he probably will, as I heard they're just being overly cautious), then I will move Chuba into the dedicated RB slot and will indeed begin my season with T-Mac and X playing. Keep pounding all the way.

My fantasy league is named Any Given Sunday. It's a Yahoo friends and family league that's existed since 2008. There's no money involved, just bragging rights. The participants love it, and we love mixing it up and talking sh¡t to one another. I've won the trophy five times (and almost a close sixth), so they love beating me (and seeing me win, oddly). I'm on a four year drought though. So this year I kinda said, "fug it, I'm going all-in on my guys." Amid that, I did something that I never do and went RBs one, two and three, with the critical---some would say the "crazy" move being Chuba at three. So now I'm light on receivers. But, I was ultimately able to get my guys. Dave Canales is already talking crazy talk, suggesting that he's not going to let Chuba run wild in so many words (so I learned in the other thread). I bristle at that. I'm giving Bryce a lotta faith by extension. He's on the wire (but I may as well have played him for all Dakota did the other night). I obviously believe in Tetairoa. He could be my WR1 (other than Scary Terry). I picked up X late, and I'm hoping that he will make the league hate that I did because it was kinda disrespectful for him to be drafted in the 12th round if you ask me. As for JT Sanders, I picked him up as an aside because as we all know, the pickings at TE are slim (especially when you have to try and build a complete team after taking three RBs so early). I hope that Sanders comes through, then I might be looking good. So, yeah, I kinda went all-in. If there was ever a time for our offense to come alive, I need them to do it this season. Bryce needs to continue on his ascension from the end of last season, and Canales needs to let Chuba run the damned rock. We have insurance in Rico (as do I), so let Chuba do his thing. If our offense doesn't work this season, then we're just fùcked, and so am I most likely. But I have faith. Now let me go move Golden back to W/T spot. I have faith in X, but no so much that I'm playing him over Golden tomorrow.

I am loathe to make any predictions before I see the team in action. Within that vein, on the eve before the beginning of the NFL season in earnest, I will say that four wins is the floor and 11 wins is the ceiling. Call my sizable spread a "copout" if you like, but I will tell you, "Nobody knows sh¡t at least until the end of the month." That's the way I see it, and, for now, that's what I'm sticking to.

If you can run all over a team, you do it. That's a football truth as old as time immemorial.

Jim Harbaugh gives a team instant toughness and legitimacy. David Tepper didn't want to cede any control, and that's why he skipped over Harbaugh like he was a fire ant mound.

I knew it all along. Two firsts and Derrick Brown was not gonna work.

Coker was/is hardly our best receiver. No need to debate it; wait and see the results.

QBs and Kickers, we have a problem with that.

Hell, I can't even get my original name back because the server won't send out the email to change the password which I obviously forgot. So, now I have two (or three) accounts. Still loyal as ever though. I think that's a good thing...

Damned typos. That used to rarely happen before the age of the Internet. I should probably give it five minutes after awakening from my slumber. poo, that won't probably help either.
