I feel sorry for you

The only thing I do like about ESPN's coverage, is that they always have that best available player scroll going. I would like to see the NFLN do that with Mayocks' best available picks. Other than that though, ESPN can kiss my rear end...except for Gruden, that is.

I defiantly like the NFLN coverage and analysts better. Half the time the ESPN crew didn't even talk about the pics and their banter was ridiculously poor. I used to like Gruden but now he annoys me and the interviews they did were they basically tried to make the draftees cry were ridiculous.

I really like Mayock and Rich and they talked about way more picks but I will say this:

That ad in 1st person view, where the draftee meets all the celebrities and Newton is on Conan is the fuging stupidest thing I have ever seen. I don't care what anyone says it is bad.

Also the interview they opened day one of the draft with Primetime was hard to watch, I had to turn it to ESPN during that.

If you dont have nfln. I really enjoyed watching the draft this year with mayock, rich risen and the gang. Not once did I switch over to espn and thank god I didn't after hearing about how awful it was this year.

I feel like slapping you in a jealous rage. :D

ESPN's coverage was so god awful, that we just said to hell with it and went out fishing and listened on Siruis.

And now I've gotta a hella sunburn. :mad: Thanks a lot Charter Cable!

They didn't even show Hoover announce our pick! I was so angry when I saw him in the background while the analysts were running their mouths

Yeah, when that happened, I was throwing everything I had at the TV hoping Gruden/Kiper would STFU. (Luckily the only things in arms reach were pillows.)

The only good thing from ESPN's coverage was listening to Dilfer pop a squat and poo all over Seattle.

"I love Seattle, some of my best memories are from playing there. But everytime they make a pick, I just get angrier. I feel sorry for the guys in that organization."

:rofl:

ESPN sucked something special this year. I really wanted them to just STFU half the time and focus on the picks. While Todd Mcgay was up their running his cockholster guys were getting picked. And its just more that ESPN in general sucks on their analysis. It really is anoying the ignorance of that network about our organization.

I watched via....well lets just say I was watching NFL Network :biggrin:

forced to watch ESPN a couple of times bc of issues and I have to say its HORRIBLE. Trey Wingo is infinitely better than Berman, and yet he still couldn't save it. ESPN quit talking about the damn draft completely and start talking about other poo several times. Just horrible. fug them.

I saw a stat somewhere that said ESPN's coverage of the first draft day was down around 20% compared to last year. Now I can definitely see why. Mayock is so far ahead of McShay and Kiper it's not funny, plus his personality isn't nearly as grating as those two. Plus you get Rich Eisen who is the best of the whole lot.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
