  1. Way too soon to tell. OBJ strikes me as a ticking time bomb whose value would never be higher than it is right now. I probably would have looked to move him too.
  2. We need one, maybe two, more legit playmakers on offense and a good young DT. Also, I like Allen, but he's still pretty raw. I think we can win 7-8 games next year and then contend in '20-21.
  3. Cost us next to nothing to add a great locker room guy who churned out 700+ yards at a 4.6 ypc clip last year. I don't understand how anyone can knock the move.
  4. I don't understand why people are bagging on Witten's decision. Yeah, he lost a step later in his career, but he still put up catch totals of 73/64/77/69/63 in his last five years. It wasn't like there was a precipitous drop-off in production during his final season. He's had a full year to rest his body and he's still 2 years younger than Antonio Gates who is still in the league.
  5. Any guy that walks into one of those places knows exactly what the deal is and generally how those girls got there. This isn't a consensual business transaction with some independent online escort or pornstar (though I assume he was heavily involved in that too). This is akin to the sexpats that go to Thailand to dip into underage slaves. Sadly, he'll only get a slap on the wrist and be on his way. But make no mistake, despite his riches, he is morally bankrupt.
  6. It bothered me a lot back in the days when they were competitive. It would basically ruin my Sunday and Monday. But by the mid-00s I had started caring a whole lot less and could even stomach missing a game here or there if I had another engagement. After my first child was born in 2009, I didn't really care much at all. This year a loss didn't bother me in the slightest. And I basically forgot about it the second I turned off the game. I expect that to change when we actually field a true playoff caliber team again. Then I'm sure I'll have more of that "live and die with them" attitude.
  7. I live in SD and have seen him play a bunch. Definition of JAG.
  8. After watching this, it's beyond laughable that Nathan Peterman entered the season as the starting QB.
  9. Love it! I'd like to see us keep this cat on as an assistant coach too (if he has any interest) after he retires. Bright, hard working guy with great leadership qualities.
  10. Travis Scott's music is actually pretty damn interesting. I say that as a relatively square 40 year old white dude who listens to Rush. I'm much more interested in seeing him perform than Maroon 5.
  11. Gosh. Just think where we could have been drafting if Nathan Peterman had started the entire season!
  12. I was 13, home alone in Lancaster, listening to Van Miller and acting out the game with a rubber football. We had 2 season tickets, and it was usually my Mom and I attending the games, but I wasn't feeling well, so my Dad and Mom went together. I'm sure it was amazing in person, but I still feel there was something magical about listening to Van and putting my imagination to good use.
  13. I was distraught when we drafted him. I thought his upside was Jake Locker. Now, I love the kid. He's our John Elway.
  14. Wentz is their future. Foles is just a guy. They will regret it if they stick with him after this season.
  15. I love Allen. First QB we've had that exhibits confidence and swagger since Flutie. Sky is the limit with this kid. He's got the size, arm, athleticism, leadership ability, brains and huevos to be an all-time great. Just needs to learn and refine his game at this level.
  16. I like Sal. Seems like a genuine dude and doesn't just spew declarations out of his azz. He's a nice counterpoint to the other two buffoons doing Bills talk.
  17. That was the first real drive given up by the defense today. They've done their job for the most part.
  18. Not sure if this is a strategy or more just his personal mindset. Josh has serious swag and loves to push the ball downfield in search of the big play. I was pretty distraught when we drafted him over Rosen, but he's absolutely changed my mind. His attitude, charisma and mental makeup paired with his freakish physical gifts scream future superstar to me.
  19. Absolutely! His leadership is invaluable and he's still a stud on the field. Give him a nice 1-2 year deal. He deserves it.
  20. So far, I like what I see, but I'm sure Titan fans were saying the same things about Vince Young and Marcus Mariota.
  21. It was Herculean feat by JA just to escape pressure and get that in the vicinity of Clay, so there's no way I put the blame on Josh for that. At the same time, it wasn't the easiest of catches for a tight end with bad knees. Zay is as much to blame for dropping the prior pass as Clay was for dropping his. Neither were "easy" grabs, but you'd like to think we'd be able to hold on to at least one of them. So, yes, Clay "should" have caught it, but it's easy to see why he didn't.
  22. Zay will go for 1k next year. He's building chemistry with JA, and so long as he keeps working and doesn't quit on plays, JA's athleticism will buy Zay time to get open. I see him as a high end #2 slot guy. Need to find a big fast do everything elite guy and we are set for years to come with Zay and Robert Foster serving the roles of chain mover and deep threat.
  23. Similar in strength, but Allen is a freak athlete. Ben not so much.
