Thought for sure about three of us were gonna get REEMED
Is this a kinder gentler Sweens?
Or is it a-coming yet?





I think he knows we've got him in a box. If you read the posts in order, it only makes sense that DL was referencing Turner.


Yes Dave. I like the way you chime in after the fact saying "oh, I knew what David meant all along". How Jeff Allen of you.


Sweens...you bastard.

Mel Hairpiece has us taking Teddy Bridgewater at 8
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, please.


Why not?  He's concensus best QB in this draft. 

He's widely considered for the first overall pick.  I'd be shocked if he falls to us..but if he does, I'd take him in a heartbeat.



I wouldn't.


You must cringe when I talk of selling out to get him.

I'd love to know more about your feelings on this one.


I don't know waht to make of Bridgewater. Good year, but was he up against great comp, and how much did he benefit fromt he fact that he really wasn't?

There's not too many red flags when you get beyond that though. A bit thin?

Work ethic, leadership, humility, mechanics all seem like bigger +'s than those -'s.

One sobering thing about the Zimmer hire ... We just fired a DC-typer.



I prefer to think of it as we fired a bad HC. With horrible outdated assistants.


Now to be clear, you're talking about Leslie Frazier, Bill Musgrave, etc.?

Are you surprised?  SMF was happy the Vikings passed on Aaron Rodgers to draft Troy Williamson.

If only. Married to a very real woman. But I suppose that doesn't preclude me from having a fake girlfriend on the side...

I'll defend SMF on this one. Of the top 10 traits you look for in a wide receiver, Williamson had nine of them. Any other profession, that makes you a top notch contributer.

Saban is a defensive genius
Manziels biggest games were against him

The NfL is changing ... It protects QBs at all costs
Mel, too, sees Fran II
He's inventive, creative, and a loose cannon
There's no real six foot five statue passer available

No he didn't.

1.  He couldn't catch the ball.
2.  He heard footsteps.  Dude was not mentally tough.

And now you're all buying it?

I was the one posting Troy Williamson Google-eyes glasses pics.
I happen to think Rodgers is probably the best QB in the league.
Where did anyone get me as a Williamson lover?

I'm a crazy off-base gambler, not a moron. Well at least not in most peoples opinions. (Hint hint).

I HATE the argument that small QBs can't be successful or are too big of an injury risk. Please. Brees and Wilson seem to be doing OK for themselves, and the only signficaint injury between the two was Brees' shoulder, which had nothing to do with his size.

Meanwhile, Big Ben is always laid up with a broken toe nail, despite being 6'10'' 340.

If I recall correctly, Kerry wanted a lifetime deal for Blackburn and was pissed when we only gave him four years.

Good one.
Or that time he hunger-striked until Gardy was re-upped .... That was probably his strangest support for a horrible idea
