with the size thing...it's understandable. with the race thing...it wasn't. there's a huge difference. the data may not be there to back up the assumptions, but there is a reason for the assumption that a smaller QB might be affected more by shots from a bigger player. concerns can and need to be alleviated. there is a concern that he might not be able to see as much of the field and that he might have to stay playing out of the shotgun. not a big deal, but a legit concern. the size thing is an issue for the team, but it's one they, i suppose, feel they can work around and that he's worth the extra steps/adaptation needed. the poo with cam was the stereotypes that black QB = running QB and that they wouldn't be able to pass very well and there were also implications that black QB = less intelligent. there were other stereotypes that existed that were just as toxic and unfounded. basically...it's a much different scenario.

you're dancing around the issue. what makes you think it's going to be worse? what do you think is the singular issue that makes you think this is the same thing with Cam?

yeah, it's been getting clearer the last couple for me. which is weird because for several weeks before that it seemed like it was Stroud. i guess the only weeks that matter, though, are the last couple leading up to the draft. i mean i've been excited about Young, Stroud, and even AR for a while...but my excitement has been spread out between the three of them. I'm starting to focus more on watching Young videos just to get an idea of what to expect. This next week is going to take forever.

i've actually been hearing this for a while from a couple inside people. of course i heard some saying that Stroud was up there, but i was hearing more that Young was their top option followed by AR. I mean this is going back to right after the big trade. i was pretty fond of the idea of Stroud so, just because of where i had Stroud in my mind, it made more sense that it would be between Stroud and Young....especially because of comments from McCown and the reaction of those who went to Stroud's pro-day it looked like it was him that took the lead over Young. Could be that they liked him, but they were more impressed with Young and AR in meetings and with their ps2 scores.

like i said in the other thread...

wait...what? ok, i'm just going to ask. what are you implying that the issue is? don't hint around. just say it so that everyone can see what you're meaning.

and to that i say...

it's a fuggin Eyore OP.

this is not nearly the same issue(s) it was as cam. nothing compares to the issues there were with cam. i'm not sure where you're basing that poo off of.

Man we're really starting to have to stretch for reasons to not draft him.

I can't make any promises. Someone gets too drunk/pissed and goes way off the rails then I'll put them in timeout, but I don't plan on being strict. But if we draft Levis I'm banning everyone and then myself.

You know who thinks things like that? People who have been there and done that.

Don't get too cocky. You haven't been far from it.

He also said we still haven't made a decision and no one told Young he was the pick. But I do believe that Tepper trusts these guys he hired.

I hid it, but it got quoted a lot. I think enough people saw you retracted that comment.

Lol there's no way I would deprive the huddle of that

Thanks to idiots who only have gonads online.

WE need you to post in here.

Lol he's been the most reliable guy we've had in here in a long time. As good as the sources the mods have had from time to time

Lol are you getting stressed? You can answer when you get out of time out tomorrow.

Yeah. I got tired of it. I put him in time out. Maybe give him a chance to start looking up therapists online. He's going to need it.

You need to quit this poo. When you come back, don't start it back up.

yep, but the difference is one of us will be fine either way. the other might need therapy.

sure.....that's always a possibility, but it's pretty doubtful at this point. but keep on holding on to that dream.
