So, "Start Pickett" thread when?

And before anyone says anything, this is the same place that had threads wanting to start Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme.

Week 1 would be a safe bet. Start Weinke was a weekly thread.

You never drink corn liquor. You sip it. I've seen many a rookie think they can handle a big drink and end up face down in the dirt 30 minutes later. 

Yeah after it happens to you, at least you get to watch others do the same thing. 
I had never had any and was not warned and it was so smooth. Luckily I ended up n the backseat of a random car not the dirt and was left alone to sleep it off.

You're lucky if you don't wakeup covered in your own body fluids. My first time I woke up behind the wheel of my dad's car and was stuck on railroad tracks. I missed the crossing completely. It was a long time before I touched the stuff again.

Weinke could at least throw the ball. I can see people calling for him in like, preseason 2003. Jake is a legend to me just for 2003 alone. Hell the first game was enough to not forget him. And after we got rolling I can’t imagine calling for Weinke or Peete or anyone.

That’s lucky. Driving on it? I couldn’t walk on it.  I bet that stuff has buried a lot of people behind a wheel.

It happened. Hard to believe but it did. It will happen the first time Young throws a pick or misses a throw. Its inevitable.

I got behind the wheel before it kicked in. As the old saying goes, I thought I had more time. I didn't know it would kick in so fast and I wasn't warned about the sip verses drink effect. Rookie making rookie mistakes.

Well you were lucky and that’s a good thing. You have to survive your mistakes to learn from them.

I didn't sip mine either. I have no memory of it. I just know the pictures all my friends took. Evidently it was something I would have wished I could remembered. Afterwards they said I passed out and the only knew I was alive because they heard my head lift up and hit the floor. Probably should have called an ambulance for alcohol poisoning. Evidently it was good times. I just remember none of it.

Being young. And free. I drank so much on a NYE when I was about 20 I was sick for over a week. Alcohol poisoning for sure. Last time I drank Scotch pretty much. Peppermint schnapps and champaign on top of a bottle of Johnny Walker or Chivas or something. Was on a mission. I completed it. 
Like I said, you have to survive to learn from your mistakes. Somehow I did survive. So far. But I am bad at the learning part.

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

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      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".

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

      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.
