What the hell are turn signals for anyway?

I mean, most people don't use them... or if they do, they use them incorrectly.

What's the point of moving over into the turn lane, then 2/3 of the way down the lane, turning your signal on... by then, we all know you're turning.

The number of imbecile drivers is incredible... :mad2:

Agree...

but if you have to constantly drive in traffic like me, you'll find that when you turn on your signal to merge into a different lane it gives the car lagging behind a real incentive to punch it and cut you off just because you had the nerve to change lanes.

That's why I usually don't bother in traffic...

And if there's a huge gap and the a-hole REALLY floors it to cut me off...I pull a g5jamz duckfake. That's where you just act like you never saw the car and start merging over real fast. That car knows you're there...your intent...and when they see you just coming over real fast...9 times out of 10 they hit the brakes. When they do...I just go right back over in front of them before they can punch the gas again. Works really good in a van because the top heavy shake REAAAALLLY freaks them out.

A man after my own heart. Seriously, the last few days people have pissed me off more than usual by not using their damn turn signals. And often times, had they used them, I could have gone instead of waiting for them to slowly creep in front of me. These people are almost always on their cell phones.

I swear, I'm going to go batshit crazy on someone one of these days. I've also had a lot of people tailgating me lately.

I'm so anal, I use my turn signals in a parking lot! I swear to God, that on most models of cars in the South, turn signals are an option!

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
