For the love of everything holy, please stop talking about "tape"

I'm not saying that you can't form an opinion. I'm simply saying that plopping down in front of your computer and watching a couple of YouTube highlights is not watching tape. I always chuckle when I read a post stating "when I put on the tape..." C'mon, we all know what you did - you watched a YouTube highlight. Stop saying it because you heard Mike Mayock or Mel Kiper say it.

Well, actually, there are videos on Youtube that have full Player vs. Team videos. That can give you a good idea. Obviously nobody here actually has access to tape but you can still evaluate a player pretty well off it.

Not all tape from youtube are hughlight videos though. I doubt that's what they're referring to. What they watched were probably cut up tapes of all the plays involving a player. It's not coaches' tape, but there is some valuable information there.

When I was 15 a buddy of mine gave me my first porno VHS tape.

One night my parents went out to eat so I put it in the VCR and began doing what 15 year olds do.

I heard a mangling sound come from the VCR, it had begun eating the tape and it was stuck inside the VCR. I then hear my parents drive up, they were home early.

I sat there all night hoping they didn't press play on the VCR. When they went to bed, I got the scissors and cut it.

Ever since that day I have had a hatred in my heart for tapes of all kind.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
