Top 5 1) Smitty 2) Julio 3) Roddy 4) Evans 5) Colston

I had shoulder surgery recently and had to make the switch for a while. The struggle is real

That's the thing. He doesn't have to be here now. He knows enough of the system. He's got more experience with the new QB than anyone. There is reason to be annoyed, but it's not crucial that he be there. Until we don't see him for mandatory workouts, there's no reason to get worked up. I'm just glad we've got the turnout we do for workouts that aren't mandatory (unlike a good few teams out there). it's a really good sign.

says the drama queen.

we'll be better with him, but we'll be fine without him. he is, after all, at best the 3rd option and Terrace and even Shi will probably take a lot of targets from him. go or stay...we'll be ok. he's got to do what's best for him and it's pretty obvious that he isn't really a significant part of our plans going forward. get what you can when you can. just like any other player, if he's here I'm a fan. If he goes to another team good luck unless you are playing us then I wish for you failure at that moment. Aside from that....he's just another guy.

I'll just say that I'm more excited about this coming year than I have been in a long time. Ever since we lost #50, I've been kind of 'meh' about the team. We had some really good players to be excited about but the leadership of the team sucked. We peaked with Ron at #50. Hurney did nothing to inspire confidence, either. I had been dreaming of a younger and more progressive and aggressive HC/GM combo who weren't chained to the worn out and predictable old school way of building and running a team. Love them or hate them so far....Fitt and Rhule and Tepper are definitely running the team differently than we've ever seen here. What we were doing obviously wasn't working and whole I admit to scratching my head initially at a few moves, I wanted something less predictable and we've got it. Secondary looks at their moves has me seeing the wisdom behind them and the result is a team that has a ton of potential and, from Rhule's history (even though it's been at the college level), he's a guy that can make that potential realized. Right now the big question is Sam and while he wasn't our first or even second choice I think he's someone that I think Rhule and Brady can take the potential he came to the league with and the experience he gained (good and bad) and turn him into a franchise QB. And if Sam isn't the guy, I'm confident that, unlike the last two regimes, they won't hold into him too long. It won't take very long to find out if he's worth the (limited) investment and they'll be move on and throw everything they can at the next guy. I'm not expecting a playoff run this year (though I wouldn't be surprised). I'm just expecting progress and the continual building of what I believe will be a championship team.

Jake wasn't elite, but he was good and he did well enough in games where he didn't have the greatest personnel around. For example the 2004 season. The only reliable guy he had was Moose. The rest was hurt early or was some flash in the pan smiling goof named Keary Colbert. Still managed to pull off nearly 3900 yards passing, 29 TDs and 15 Ints.

Yow. Blacklisted by the players.

Mike McCoy was horrible, but he was horrible because he was useless and didn't do anything which was fine because Jake was an old dog just doing his thing. Then they got Rip who got in Jake's head and screwed him up. They tried at some point to back off and let Jake be Jake, but it was too late. I have to admit I was glad to see a QB coach that did more than pal around with Jake and tell him to throw balls into a bucket like McCoy did, but Rip was a micromanager to the extreme. That coaching staff just dropped off a cliff when Henning was fired. No coaching change they made from then on was an upgrade.

They tried fixing Jake after the Cards fiasco to try and make him more conventional and it broke him.

I don't want to see a Sammy that tries to play safe, mistake free ball throwing high percentage passes. I want the scrambling gunslinger who's buying time to make the big plays wherever they show up. That's a Cardiac Cats type of QB that makes it fun to watch.

Careful or he's going to tell you come up with a list of QBs that meet some ridiculously narrow set of criterion to prove to him that Sam won't be some big failure, as if his pinheaded opinion and approval means anything at all. The guy is a troll.... one of a few around here I'm losing my patience with.

I'm excited. Can't wait to see him play.

Loving the T&A TE combo already. Giddyup.

I used to flip back and forth between direct and dish because I live out in the boonies. Got too frustrating and too expensive so I quit. YouTube tv (for sports...mainly football. My dad also uses my account for sports and news) Netflix (had been using their service for years renting DVDs. Just made sense to switch to the streaming service. (My parents and sis also use this account.) Amazon (was a prime member for years before I watching. Sooo...I was paying for it anyways. Don't consider that an extra expense.) Hulu (I use my sister's account). When I find a show I want to watch on something I'm not subscribed to, I'll join long enough to watch it and then discontinue service.

I expect lumps. As long as I see continual growth I am quite ok with it.

Ron tapped the brakes and we had cracks show the last several games of the year. There were signs of a problem and the broncos were able to exploit it.

They got the wind knocked out for what should have been just a moment. Then they had to play both the broncos and the refs. A good coach would have been able to 1) get their heads right and 2) adjust their gameplan to put something together that works. We didn't have a good coach. Cam would have been able to get that team fired back up. The broncos knew it and the refs knew it and that's why the headhunting happened. They (broncos and refs) took Cam out of the game the only way they could.

I think he's the guy, but if he's not they aren't going to hold on to him for years trying to prove he is. This isn't Hurney's team anymore. It's not Rivera or Fox's team. These guys will make bold moves to try and find the right guy and move on quickly if it doesn't pan out.

They could do any damn thing they wanted because they knew the refs weren't going to call anything on them.
