  1. I agree. Those who are gleeful over his demise are just sad and begging for bad karma. The guy hasn't committed any crimes or hurt people as far as we know of. He might have been a cocky dude a few years ago, but he's received more than a healthy helping of humility at this point. But we all have dreams, and for many of us our lives don't quite turn out the way we originally envisioned. That doesn't mean we can't transition and build an awesome new fulfilling life for ourselves. Rosen has a lot of resources to draw from outside of football. He has wealthy parents, a good college degree and a level of public celebrity that he can spin to his advantage. So, I won't add to the piling on and laughing at the guy, but I'm not necessarily feeling too bad for him either. At least no more than I do for any of the hundreds of other kids who get cut from the NFL each year.
  2. I don't think it's necessarily all attitude. I'm a UCLA alum and have been watching Rosen since his high school days. He's like every other failed quarterback before him. For all his supposed smarts, he just can't process what he's seeing quickly enough on the field of play. Add in his immobility, and it's a recipe for disaster. He improved slightly at UCLA, but still made many of the same boneheaded throws he was making as a freshman. Give the guy a clean pocket and time to throw and he could pick you apart. Put pressure on him and he panics and throws the ball up for grabs. Given that he's not really a good team guy, I don't see any place for him as even a backup in the NFL. I think he might be completely out of football within 18 months.
  3. Patrick Mahomes as our backup quarterback.
  4. We had seasons in the family section from the mid-80s to mid-90s, so I never really saw this as a kid. When I went back for games in my 20s and sat in the general population sections, I'd see this kind of action fairly regularly.
  5. I think Wilson would have stood a chance at developing into a nice player if the Jets had given him a veteran QB presence to sit behind and learn from. Now, I'm not so sure. I like Lance to be the biggest positive surprise of the class. Lawrence should be good too. I think he'll have an Andrew Luck type of impact.
  6. Nice! Love me some Catan.
  7. 4D Chess. He's just learning the Jets playbook before we bring him onto our practice squad at the end of camp.
  8. Wow. You guys are tough. I don't expect my sports radio guys to be cap experts. They're not the most enlightening guys ever, but I still enjoy listening to Tasker and Brown.
  9. I live here (San Diego). Beautiful place. Now if I could just afford more than 600 sq/ft of living space...
  10. Sounds like a bad apple. Will likely be cut and one of the franchises that are known for taking flyers on guys like this will ***** him up.
  11. He belongs. I think he's underrated because Peyton and Harrison/Wayne sort of overshadowed him.
  12. I've been a fan since birth and a die hard for as long as I have a memory (1985). We've been great and we've sucked during these times, so I've never suffered from BBFS or whatever you call it, and I knew the good times would eventually come around again, just like I know there will be disappointing crappy seasons at some point in the future. So, when did I know that we no longer sucked azz and were on the verge of a good-to-great cycle? I'd say week 17 of 2018. We finished the season 4-3 over our last 7 games and Josh looked confident and electric in dismantling the Dolphins. The first 3 games of 2019 definitely cemented my belief. And that Thanksgiving game against Dallas gave me a certainty that we weren't just going to be good, but great.
  13. Anytime you can sign a 25 year old future hall of Fame quarterback to a 6 year extension, it's a great deal in my book. The money is irrelevant.
  14. Good for Barkley. Class act. Glad he was able to catch on somewhere.
  15. I have a source in Green Bay who told me that Kumerow only called Rodgers "very good."
  16. That stuff sucks. Give me a good Tennessee whiskey like Dickel or a Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve Kentucky bourbon.
  17. Crazy to think our best QB over a span of 25 years was a 36 year old midget from the CFL.
  18. Don't worry. It might be the same layout, but I'm hearing we'll have gold plated piss troughs.
  19. Don't worry. We'll move up to #5 after winning the Super Bowl this year.
  20. Lol. The guy is 29 years old and has 21 NFL receptions! I'm sure he's a nice player whose reaching his peak, but we'd be nuts to keep him over Stevenson or Hodgins if they're showing any promise during camp.
  21. Dang. We have more stud WRs than you can shake a stick at.
  22. Golf is a great escape/diversion for many alcoholics/drug addicts. I know Alice Cooper also says that golf saved his life.
