When Darnold was asked by Leonard “how you liking it” and he responded “I love it”…a part of me believes he meant being out of New York more than being in Carolina.

I've long had this theory. Sure some guys love the big market big city stuff but I'm assuming an equal amount want nothing to do with that.

I have said it 1000 times on this board.  Rolling Wilson out there is almost as dumb as rolling darnold out there in his rookie year.   Whether people want to believe it or not, playing in NY with their fans and media is just a different ball game.  Not too many 20 year olds can walk in and be a)Mentally prepared to be a NFL qb and B)be able to handle the scrutiny of playing in that city

 

Throwing guys to the fire there is just fuging retarded.  Whats the damn hurry?  Wilson may well make it and be good but damn looking at their oline etc what is the damn harm in sitting him for at least 10-12 games if not the whole season?  the whole is greater than the parts

I'm kinda of the opinion that if they crack and fold it was gonna happen anyway. You're either mentally cut out for this league or you're not.

nah man you can ease people into situations, thats just human nature

The going is gonna get tough at some point and the ones that aren't cut out for it will crack when it does. If a guy isn't ready from a grasp of the offense standpoint then there's no reason to put him out there but if he has the offense down and is ready to go from a preparation standpoint then I don't think you do him any good sitting him.

Sometimes environment makes a huge difference. NYC is a very noisy place, and I don't just mean the decibels. Being able to decompress can be huge.

Oh, I would fuging HATE it there.

In another life I would have loved to have lived there making good money.  The fun you can have there is next level.  My uncle is an actor living in Manhattan and has been since the 80's and he has made some nice coin over the years and has showed me a totally different world that most people never see.

I just despise crowds and cities in general. No use for them personally. Being within a few hours for the occasional trip to a game or museum or the like is plenty good enough for me. I sure wouldn't want to live in a major metro area.

I get it, I really do but damn I had some fun in my youth in that city.   Could I live there now as someone in their mid 40s?  Hell no.  Could I have staked my claim there when I was 21ish and still be living there.....I can see it. 

 

But I really like seattle, big city, hiking, boating, fishing.  The real deal.   But the women in NYC, Jesus H its like some sort of perverse dream

I’ve said it before but I really like what the Jets are doing, and the Dolphins for that matter, though to a lesser extent.

Dolphins invested in the oline. And actually have a ton of great pieces to work with. The head coach has winning experience and I think he’s decent.

Jets finally pulled their head of their ass. They’re not on the brink like the Dolphins but their moves building the foundation has been spot on. Cliche yes, Rome want built in a day, but their moving in the right direction. Great head coach pick up.

Laslty they both have a ton of capital to start picks and cap. In comparison, Rhul/Fit walked into the most dead money in the league and no extra picks, with a stud DE, RB, and RT that’s it lol.

Seattle is fuging awesome. Aiming to move there in the next 5 years.

I thought I’d be the type for rural living, nope, it’s so fuging boring. Some people love it though. Ideally you’d live on some land with a 30 minutes drive to the city, best of all worlds.

fug land.  My best friend just retired to Hurdle Mills on 200 acres.  Sounds like a nightmare with the upkeep and such.  He goes days without see people but damn he is always cutting a tree down, mowing a field etc.  Way too much work for me

Depends on the kind of land in an ideal scenario 

200 is a bit much lol, I’d imagine something like 5 with 4 of those being no maintenance wildlife/forest, and an acre being landscaped or just grass

have to be the right city as they don’t all offer that for reasonable money, a lot don’t

Charlotte is actually perfect for it…if you prefer living in the south (I don’t)

I would never ever buy something with more than 2 acres max that requires my attention. That’s where you fug up less you’re rich enough to pay for it

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
