just out of curiosity and as a companion/follow-up to that thread by OnlyPantherFaninMaine.

probably a beating of a dead horse for some, but you know at least that dead horse will be tender when you throw it on the grill.

anyway....

for me, warmack just because he's a guard. not a crucial enough piece for a team with holes in so many areas. if we were more set across the board...maybe, but not for us. not at #14.

that's my opinion, anyway. take it for the pile of dorito crumbs it is.

if i wasn't so blindly anti-OG in the first round, i'd be right there with you.

My favorite part of the Gettleman presser, apart from the "HOGMOLLY" reference, was his opinion that most often postions of need are already on your roster and you just have to coach them up. I can not descibe how good that feels coming from our tenured pro scout talent evaluator boss man. He has positioned us for BPA like hurnia never ever did.

Its a show and im propped up with my popped corn and ice cold sweet tea. Feels good man, really good.

I don't have a name, but I will say that I don't want us to draft a bust or someone that will be injury prone or lack the drive and determination to be successful.

Obviously this won't be determined for awhile. I just hope we pick a solid starter from day 1 as everyone else here does.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
