Yes we sucked ass yesterday in just about every conceivable manner. We need to let that go. We know Jake isn't going to be the answer in the future and that our coaching staff isn't as good as we'd like but there is a lot to like about the future:

DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart: These guys are amazing and should be around for a LONG time, so we will have that to look forward to. Sure they were underutilized in our loss but it was just one game.

Dwayne Jarrett: I think he will be something special, easily our answer for a 3rd WR. He was running crisp routes and has made some good catches this year, so hopefully he gets the roster spot next season and we get the ball in his hands. If he can turn out to be a good blocker even better.

OL: For the first time in the longest we have a very solid OL with very few noticeable holes, and the backups aren't half bad either. I doubt getting Gross back will be as big of an issue as some of you may feel it is. Even better, most of these guys are young and should be with the team for a long time.

Brayton: He's made remarkable progress over the course of the season, playing well against the run and much improved on passing downs. Along with rotational support from CJ we should be fine at LDE for a while.

Peppers: He may walk, which will be good for our team. Don't get me wrong, he's a tremendous athlete but he doesn't have the motor the truly great DE's have and he isn't worth that kind of money. What does this mean for us? It means we'll have a lot more cap room to fix our issues.

LB Corps: We have two of the best LB's in the league with Beason and Davis, and they'll be around for a while as well. Most teams struggle to find one good, consistent linebacker, we have 3.

Gamble/Harris/Godfrey: The core of our secondary is very strong and should be even better next year with more time together, chemistry is important for DB's so another year together will only help.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
