I think it is really interesting how this year there are three films with legit chances to win.  Usually you have the favorite and the one dark horse that is more the anti-favorite.

I actually really enjoyed the films this year after not really being impressed with much of anything in '13 and '14.

To me The Revenant was the best but I would not be upset if Spotlight won, both were great.  Mad Max: Fury Road and The Big Short would have been my choices had they come out either of the past two years, but not this one.

Leo needs to win and I would vote for Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) and Sairose Ronan (Brooklyn) but I am pretty sure Stallone and Larsen win.  No problem with the latter but I am disappointed that Stallone will beat better performances.  He really is fifth best in that category, Steve Carrell should be there in his spot.

The no doubter to me is Emmanuel Lubezki (The Revenant) for Best Cinematography.  That was just brilliant.

Oh yeah, I did see Mad Max....just surprised by that movie altogether, really didn't like it at all.

I remember going to see it, and from start to finish, not realizing exactly what was happening or what I was watching. But I enjoyed it if that makes any sense. As something to watch, I thought it was awesome. As a full blown great movie, mehhhh.

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
