Yeah, I'm over it, but it does suck to just never get any respect.  No matter the years that go by, the amount of time we've been in the league, the players and coaches that come and go, a change in ownership - we have to be the most disrespect or at minimum, the least respected team in the league.

I think those days are fading, every time I hear the panthers mentioned now days it's competent, young talented. Maybe not hyped. But clearly well thought of

I will never be critical of a rookie QB that is drafted by a sh*tty franchise, ever again.  Franchisees that don’t build around a rookie QB BEFORE drafting one, should be stripped from drafting one.  Signing veterans only, till they build at least an average offense around a young guy.

Don’t pretend that many of these players suck, simply to make you feel good your franchise didn’t draft them. 

Cam came in here with one good receiver and a TE and lit the world on fire as a rookie.  Team building is part of it, but some of this stuff is just bad.  Going back to HS, if you throw late, bad things happen, and that flea flicker throw was about as late as they get...  Lawrence can't do that, regardless of the staff or team around him.  They had the lead...  no reason to do that there.

Now, as I mentioned with Fields, Nagy has shown himself to be a QB killer at this point, and a pretty crappy coach.  So, I think its entirely possible the system is not helping Fields.  But again, some of the decisions he has made when the read looks pretty simple and consistently locking onto one read and one read only, the early results are not encouraging.

That's not how it works. 

If you're drafting high enough to spend a pick on a premium position, i.e. QB, then by definition the rest of your team needs a lot of help.

And not a one of the interesting games is being shown on the local channel.  Bungles vs the old folks home bound Big Ben, and the Washington football team being spanked.  

Yep its annoying. Can't wait til the directv contract ends. I had it in the past but just don't need or want cable at this point in my life. I just want to watch all the football games. Is that too much to ask?

Watching the Bills vs. WFT. A couple of things have stood out.

It's the same old Ron Rivera.

The Bills have dominated this game and haven't taken their foot off the gas. Learning from their prior team's history?

The Bills are doing everything we should have done with Cam, with Josh Allen. They've developed him as a passer and greatly limited his rushing.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
