Captain Caveman

I agree 100%. Summary: EJ didn't do enough last year to prove that he is the guy. He wasn't a disaster either and is going to get another shot this year. Everything else is just noise.

The 4 being cut have nothing to do with the 5th.

I looked at last year's list and it seemed like most teams have their QB as a captain, except for some rookies and other guys who hadn't proven themselves. Like EJ. http://sports.genius.com/Nfl-2013-team-captains-annotated

I don't think those are God's work.

So if anyone speaks out for EJ, it's just the company line, if anyone doesn't speak out for him, it's cause he sucks. Got it.

Except I haven't seen anything at all to question his work ethic or maturity. He ran offseason workouts for receivers, and he's been described as an early in late out kind of guy over and over. Captains need to do that stuff, but in order to be effective, they also need to prove they can get it done on the field. If and when he does that, he'll be a captain.

Have you heard a player get asked to support EJ? Under what circumstances do you expect them to come out and defend him? Just out of nowhere? That would be weird. Have you heard any player come out and defend Seantrel Henderson, or Nickell Robey? They haven't, right, because it would be weird. Because there's nothing to defend at this point. You're making **** up just to stir the pot, and it's !@#$ing annoying. Is it just me, or is this getting into crusade territory?

These are all guys who have proven themselves as Pros. I expect EJ will be named a captain if and when he does the same.

I don't think he's suggesting that it's a problem, only that those who have made up their mind about EJ will see it as further proof of their opinion.

I think so

If that's any indication of his commitment to football right now that's unfortunate.

It's not like I still have the double kick pedal. Wait, do I still have that? Also, I am elated that we were able to turn around a thread about Rush Limbaugh.

Most Sundays - atomic wings (usually boneless) and a coke during the game. This year I'm really looking forward to spending a couple of hours on the couch with my son on Sundays. Probably the best feeling all season is the one game we win that we shouldn't, when I allow myself to think, "Hey, this could be the year we do it." That, and this coming Sunday morning from wake up time until kickoff. you can cross that one off your list

this will not stand

Because that thread already existed. Please use the search function before opening new threads.

Can someone whip up some street fighter 2 style graphics of this matchup? I wonder what EJ's special move is.

primus pact - next time they play here we're gonna summon 13 year old us and go. (i guess i just assume 13 year old you would also like that.)

It's not like it's locked down.

fyp just kidding

If we cut one prior to Sunday and pick someone else up, someone still needs to be cut prior to the next week's game when Bradham comes back.

With slice of raw onion please

I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on AQ Shipley

just saw the other thread, wouldn't we presumably drop gay?

Wait, kickoff specialist? Schmitt? Where have I been?

The moves that have been made smell more like desperation than any real change in philosophy.
