I love Gronk

I still say it's better to blow it than sit there and do nothing while the other guy fights like hell to take it from you.

I think our defense could really bounce back for the same reason. If our run game can repeat we will win 8 games. I'm usually a huge downer...but I believe this year we ... just ... might ... go .500 again. Looking forward to this season. The big thing is the schedule...it sucks. If we go 7 wins we'll have had a good season...we really need to sweep the Jets and Phins....beyond that Colts, Bucs, and Saints at home get us to 7 and then we're looking @Chargers and @Chiefs to get to 9 and a possible wildcard birth. Falter somewhere and we need to win v.DEN(possible but tough), @ATL (no way), @Cinci (not likely), or home v.Raiders (not likely). Long story short, tough schedule but so it goes for us every year with a locked in 2 loses to the Pats. Really need to roll the 'phins and Jets and need to beat all the average teams at home. Do that and grab 2 more along the way and we'll be the best we've been in 20 years. Get hurt at QB, RB1, WR1 (almost certain), or on the DL and we **** the bed again. No room for error. We are either a bad ass front 7 with opportunistic secondary that benefits from good run stopping/pressure along with a run game and flash and pass passing game + Tyrod scramble ... or a ****ty team. TLDR: Next year we are either what Rex should have been or we suck again. Defense and run game.

I want a coach that has an awesome QB.

Nobody is denying that Sammy was worth a 1st round pick. We gave another on top of that. What the hell are you talking about?

It would be nice to have 11 players on the field for critical plays. To not see guys running on the field at the last moment. To not challenge ridiculous plays. To not have Dareus drop into zone. To not waste timeouts because we are not organized. To not give incoherent explanations when asked if there is a particular person responsible for a given bit of hilarious dysfunction. To not explain that Brady passing is cheating. And generally, to just appear somewhat professional whether we win or lose.

I would trade him away if someone offered a 1st and 3rd. Nobody will do that. He stays.

In a lot of ways I see this issue as not so different than education, healthcare, and a lot of other issues where costs are skyrocketing. The argument for some public assistance is ok until you see the bill. It's just too damn expensive that's the problem. ~2B is insane. Kick in ... say ... $300B total including land and some infrastructure...fine. Kick in almost $1B? Insane. And of course, the stadium wouldn't be $2B if the public funny money was not there. We can help pay for stadiums every now and then, it's ok. We should not go into 30 years of public debt to build lavish temples to the football gods.

I'm sure it's floating somewhere but I can't find it. Sorry for the post, feel free to close once someone posts. Thanks in advance.

link to the interview?

Truth is Whaley was good. It was a mistake to fire him.

Link the presser?

I like this pick a lot. I love that we finally have a QB on the roster that is known for distributing the ball quickly, accurately, and in tight spots. His arm can get stronger and he showed some mobility. Also seems to be a gamer. Seems like a great pick.

ESPN guys absolutely love Peterman...they are gushing you would think Peterman is the greatest QB in the whole draft.

He is garbage and will be cut.

Pretty awful performance by Matt in that game, wow. Looks terrible.

Pick it up. If we lose Sammy after sinking all this time/money/picks into him it would be a trajedy. He is a great player and will be great one day...it sucks he hasn't been for us but it would suck worse to have it happen only once he's gone.

Clay is one of the highest paid player on the team... Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Sign Fitzpatrick to be our backup. He's a good backup.

It's the worst trait I inherited from my father.

He's had a million chances, but you have to believe there will come a point where the dude gets it together. At least, you should want to believe that as a reasonably good person. If he wasn't serious about turning it around and staying straight for long enough to make a living then he would have pissed off into nowhereland already (the way Justin Blackmon did).

You get 2 challenges. It shouldn't matter what you challenge.

I know the risk but I would go hard at this ... the upside is just way too big. A 1 year prove it deal would be a mistake also...you've got to lock it up for at least 2 maybe 3 years ... just put outs in the contract and defer the bonus until year 3 and only release it if he is eligible the length of the contract. Sounds crazy but he's only 26 and he WILL be a top 10 WR in the league for the next 3 years if healthy and eligible. The upside is enormous. He's a better WR than Sammy.

I just want to remind everyone that I was just about the only one on this board to rail against the pick the moment it happened. Something along the lines of "I live in Florida, watch a lot of Florida college ball, and EJ was always 'meh' even FSU fans agree...he's a terrible pick." It takes years to be vindicated and even now the EJ-blind will just say "well, it didn't work out and that happens"...but the bottom line is the pick itself was terrible at the time. I. Told. You. So.

Saracasm is deafening.
