...are fed up of this board?

The general stupidity of the majority of posters is through the roof, with even the usually fairly reasonable ones lowering themselves to counter the idiots.

There isn't one insightful or well thought out thread (including this one) out there and the ones that have promise are quickly replaced.

I did a count earlier and there were 8 threads on the first page about Cam Newton. Ridiculous.

Half the board has been declared as haters or racists, simply because they don't like Cam Newton. The media is racist because they 'hate' Newton, despite claiming he is a one of a kind specimen.

I was drawing up some threads on our hidden gems and unsung heroes from this season, but since all this crap started I really don't see the point. Anything worthwhile posting will be forgotten and buried inside 20 minutes as a 50 page personal feud plays itself out.

Everyone just needs to step away from Cam fricken Newton, on both sides. Let the process play itself out and start talking about other things. At the moment it's just two sides trying to prove who is the bigger idiot.

Oh, by the way. If you are this emotionally invested in one player, positively or negatively, you have lost sight of this process. We have no control over the player who is picked, however getting this worked up about it is only going to cause some people to be very disappointed in our FO with their first major decision.

Let's just talk about something different mmmmkay?

In all honesty this board has gone to trash lately.

I've contributed to the mindless debates but will not any longer. I used to love coming here and now don't really like it that much.

Hope we return to form soon

Bingo.

There are some long time posters here, that have suddenly started directing some genuine hate and aggression at each other over a 21 year old guy, who may or may not be our first ever #1 pick.

It's no surprise that the board is dominated by a load of guys who I have not seen before, whereas the regulars have done the sensible thing and stayed well away.

well lets see, since the draft is the only thing a team can do right now in this lockout offseason. What is it you suggest we talk about?

How about one of the other hundreds of potential recruits out there?

How about looking for slivers of hope from some of our emerging players from last year?

How about talking about positions for later rounds?

How about focusing on what is going to happen to our 'depth' at positions such as LB if the RFAs are made FAs because of the CBA?

The nuances of Rivera's defences and how they fit us or the offensive system of Chud?

That Richardson is apparently cheap, yet isn't auctioning the #1 pick to the lowest bidder like the Dolphins did?

Or how about rather than just declaring either side are haters or supporters, actually reason with each other. Both make valid points, yet both refuse to see the others point of view.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
