So as a prime member I just got one delivered for $20 because it was a good deal. I have an apple TV and not sure if there is an advantage over the apple tv. Here are my 3 options:

 

1. - Keep it as a back up to my apple tv

 

2. - Give it to my college son (no prime) for christmas.

 

3.- Give it to my 70 year old dad who is pessimistic about these thing but was intrigued when I showed him Apple TV when I went to visit at thanksgiving. (no prime also).

 

 

I am leaning towards giving it to my dad because he is the guy who has everything but not this. Because of that, i rarely give him a Christmas present.

 

What say you huddle?

 

pros / cons?

I am torn between the Fire stick and the Chomecast. I like the fire stick better but unless I missed it I didn't see an option on the fire stick like the chomecast where you can mirror your laptop or desktop onto your tv. I really would like to have that feature, and note sure if the firestick offers that, when the chromecast does.

 

Does anyone know? If it does I'm getting the fire stick instead.

 

Didn't mean to hijack your thread Mr. Rockets. Give it to pops.

Is it like Roku? Can you add a billion different channels?

 

Nevermind....

 

 

However, it doesn't have direct access to content that users have bought from either Apple's iTunes or Google's Play Store. Nor does it have anywhere close to the broad selection of Internet channels that you can get through Roku's devices.

I got another Roku for 28 bucks during Thanksgiving. A much better deal.

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      Honestly, irrespective of Bryce, this is my hope for Canales. I hate hearing about him being a "QB whisperer." Because I don't give a rat's ass about him saving Bryce's career. Bryce either proves to be worth what we gave up for him, or it's next man up. I'm just excited to have a young, innovative offensive mind.
