  1. They aren't trading for Rosen. They are tanking for Lawrence or Tua next year. Edit: Not Lawrence, he's not draft eligible next year. Tua or Herbert...but is Herbert worth tanking over? I don't think so.
  2. The hurdle was 1. The second was when he tried to play after hurting his elbow and could barely throw. Yeah, it didn't work out, but he showed me that he was willing to try and play through pain (and i'm sure that was damn painful). That's a level of toughness and dedication not everyone possesses. Like Jimbo toughness.
  3. Housley has to go. Has to. But honestly, I'm also seriously contemplating whether Jack has the right stuff to lead this team. Obviously his skill level is off the charts, but can he motivate other guys to be better too? Sure hasn't looked that way from where I'm watching. I'm really struggling seeing the silver lining with this team at this point. I am. They have simply rolled over and given up. So frustrating.
  4. Is he designated "non-exclusive"? If he is designated exclusive you can't make him an offer at all. But they can trade him to you for whatever compensation you negotiate like a regular trade. If he's non-exclusive then you can, but if he signs an offer sheet you have to give up compensation. Looks like he was designated non-exclusive after looking it up. Signed offer sheets require 2 first round picks as compensation if not matched. So if done after draft it would be 2020 and 2021. Hard pass on that.
  5. Again, zero evidence that Brown wasn't fired up to come and the Bills decided it wasn't a fit worth pursuing. ZERO. Just pundits making assumptions.
  6. Play the curmudgeon. It's cool. We get it. It's a win-win for you. Say we stink, say don't get excited yet, then if we do, you get to say "see, I told you so." But, if we are good you get to say, "I'm glad I was wrong" and jump on board when we are winning. In the meantime, I get to add another tool to the blocked list. See ya.
  7. Dudes tank has been drying up the last two years. I would hardly say he has "plenty" left there.
  8. As a "U" fan, I'm all for filling our backfield with all their former backs!
  9. McGahee for sure. How could you not love this guy, he's hilarious. Intelligence is way underrated too.
  10. Yeah, this kid stands out for sure. There are a few RBs I like in this draft, he's definitely one of them. I mean, in reality the teams in these conferences face 2 or 3 good defenses a year. It's not like they are top to bottom stellar defenses or anything. I mean, the Big12 sucks at defense top to bottom. There really isn't that big of a difference unless you are going up against Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and maybe one or two more per conference. And even then, you don't necessarily play against all those teams in your conference. Remember too, he's also playing behind a much worse line than you get with those schools.
  11. No, only the ones in which I have direct knowledge are doing this. Uber and Lyft are two of those. And believe me, it was at all feasible for me professionally, I would go back to the landline with an answering machine. Ask any coder/software engineer worth anything what they think about all these smart devices. Many of them develop them, but avoid using them as much as possible. But, this is now gone off the rails. Was just trying to educate regarding something that was shocking to me when I found out. Do what you will with it. I don't really give a sh*t.
  12. I work in software my man. I am well aware. I am also well aware that you can program/code around that undetected pretty easily.
  13. The naivety of what enormous corporations are doing collecting data and utilization of that data to influence your decisions is baffling to me....but whatever. Its all rainbows, sunshine, and unicorns in your world I guess. Cool.
  14. Maybe, but you very well may be giving them permission to your mic, camera, photos, etc. To each their own, but I'm not a fan.
  15. Uber and Lyft are well known in the Bay area software space to not be ride sharing companies. They are data collection companies. They take all the permissions you give them and collect as much data as they can about you. Where you go, when you go, where you live, etc. What they do with it, who knows? But I'm guessing they are selling it to others. All I know is that I download the app only when I need and then delete it immediately after I'm done. Every time.
  16. What, overpaying a guy from one great performance? Where have we seen that before (i'm looking at you Rob Johnson and kinda at you too Fitzy).
  17. Yes, that is right.
  18. Lobster bisque.
  19. Hum...always felt that mortified was a much stronger word than simple embarrassment. Guess I was off a bit, fair enough.
  20. To say Generation Z'ers are over-dramatic may be the understatement of the century. "Mortified" over it, g the f outta here.
  21. Cutting this guy was the best thing to ever happen to him. Now he gets it, it seems.
  22. His release is sooooo slow though. Glaringly so.
  23. Simple, they know they cannot afford to re-sign him to a new deal and they would rather get some assets for him than let him walk out the door with them getting nothing back for him.
  24. Auburn was run heavy offense when he was there. If you watched the games though, his talent still stood out and he made some tremendous plays. I clearly remember being "wow'd" by him numerous times.
