I can see it. That's why he chose his words poorly. But he wasn't trying to say that. This "got ya" mentality is a distraction to any real conversation. This is in the same vein as "what do you mean 'you people'?" And so many other examples of unnecessary outage.

I don't know what you are disagreeing with then?  I never said he was trying to be offensive.  Just that, in the context of the discussion, it was an offensive thing to say (hence the reactions and hence his apology) or at the very least, a lousy thing to say.

The argument you guys seem to be making is that something can't be offensive if it isn't intended that way, but that isn't true. 

No, that's not my argument at all. My argument is that he was telling the truth and just describing the reality of the situation. When somebody is offended by reality then maybe they should focus on what they see in the mirror rather than the messenger of that truth.

Yeah he’s just selling the team out of spite that makes perfect sense.

He's in poor health and likely doesn't want to fight a huge long battle just to keep the team for what could be another year or two before he dies anyways. He's always been a league first guy and is doing what is best for the league and himself at this point. I mean look at the Sterling situation and how much of a mess that was for the NBA image and how long the battle went on for. Hardly an admission of guilt to decide to sell the team now.

Nah. No southern man who’s accomplished as much as Jerry has is gonna just go quietly as his image/legacy is tarnished for something he didn’t do, especially one who knows he’s at the end of his life. He hasn’t even bothered to deny it, that tells me everything I need to know.

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
