I feel old

I was one of the first people to interview TD in a long form format after he was drafted. I think I still have the audio of that kicking around here somewhere. I'll try to dig it up this weekend.

Man that’d be cool if you can find it.  I’d love to give that a listen… please share if you do!

I was 33 years old the day Jerry was awarded a franchise. Don't talk to me about old.

Damn, OG. You’re not old. You’re a seasoned vet. It now makes sense how you don’t get too high or too low when it comes to the team and their moves. I was either 4 or 5 at that time. I’m 35 now.

I've been here through it all my friend. So when I say I've seen how this turns out folks really should listen. But they won't. So I continue to be entertained by fair weather fans that talk down to me as if I don't know squat. That's fine. Their in for some painful reality checks.

I suppose the one thing you learn being around this long is how all the arguing and bickering all end up sounding the same. Only the names change. For example, all the BY talk here is child's play compared to when Jake Delhomme was our QB. We even had a name for those defending Jake: Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffer (BDJS).

And of course the running joke that 3rd and long = draw play every single time.

And making fun of David Carr's gloves.

And the disdain for drafting Luke even though we already had linebackers at the time.

And swinging back on topic, how giving Thomas Davis Sr yet another shot after multiple injuries was a horrible idea. Give TD his due because he proved us all wrong.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
