I loved the Degeneration X days... that was the heyday, IMO

Yes... Those were definitely the days for me too!!!

HBK, Triple H, Bad ass Billy gun and road dog Jesse James, X-Pac, and you can't forget Chyna. I don't know why I wanted the thing Chyna so bad when I was younger.

I miss those days too, but I also liked Shawn well before DX. Turning on Marty Janetty was the best thing he ever did for his career.

Ladder matches against Scott Hall were classic also.

Never understood why Vince McMahon likes to break up popular groups/tag teams. When he does that, he loses fans like me. After D Generation X broke up, I rooted for the Hardy Boyz. Then when the Hardy Boyz broke up, I stopped watching. Not to mention other tag teams he's ended. The Dudley Boys, Christian and Edge, Too Cool , The Acolytes, The Hardcore Hollys.

Shawn was loyal and Vince should reward him for it. I somehow doubt that HBK is retired for good. Depends on how much money he has in the bank but I say he will return again someday.

I hear Flair is trying to get him to come to TNA, but I'd have much more respect for Shawn if he stays loyal to Vince. Only organization he's ever been with (mainstream anyways, not counting AWA and Texas).

All wrestling organizations do this. This keeps things from becoming stale. But I agree with you, good things don't need to be messed with until they are going downhill.

Yeah I mean D Generation X and The Hardy Boyz, they were popular as hell. From a business stand point, makes no sense to break them up. And if they joined together..holy sh*t!

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
