Referring to me? If so, let's talk. Let's not generalize it. 

 

No, he was referring to me. You  see because of a few, the term "Optimist" is now considered a mental disease. 

 

Because you are an Optimist, you can't see any faults.

Because you are an Optimist, you can't be critical.

Because you are an Optimist, you don't understand football

Because you are an Optimist, your opinion is devalued.

 

Ah the Huddlez, you gotta love it.

If it makes you feel better, those same generalizations have been applied to me for years as a emotional and reactionary poster/fan.

Let us find the common ground.😂

That's the funny part. To any Cockeyed Optimist, being called a Homer is a compliment. lol I don't know why they are so threatened by us? Probably some deep seeded fear that keeps them from ever being happy. lol

I do my best to only respond to post that have a chance at being a little bit positive. I just have so much excitement for this year. I don't want to mix in that negativity. Or at least I try to be a good boy. lol

As far as I can tell we haven't lost a game this season.  If and when we do then we all can join in on the hand wringing and finger pointing.  I'm not sure how that is being rah rah about anything.   

Now this is the true “realist” perspective…not the reactionary cringe that people try to pass as “realist”.

If all you get is the side eye, you will sleep much better than the husband of this woman.  

 

The wife's favorite gibe; "You have to sleep sometime" After 30 years. I think she may be bluffing. I will be honest. The first time she said it, it did give me pause. She can be kinda scary.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
