...think there was a similar knock about Houston not using Oliver effectively as well....easily correctable IMO....

...look at some of these guys who despite lackluster NFL QB careers have emerged as still connected to the game...start with Palmer, a former bill for what, 20 minutes?...now a recognized astute teacher who has tutored Josh....or how about Simms and Dilfer s astute analysts?.....pretty damn good IMO...Dorsey could be the next Palmer....add in that Anderson's deal only guarantees $180K up front until vested vet for full salary kicks in at week 1.....cut him and assign him to Dorsey as an assistant....he deserves the "Good Soldier Award" for bailing out McBeane's Peterman/McCarron gaffe IMO....

...LOL...but under the radar "giddy".....exciting an old fart like me just doesn't happen any more...."Alex I'll take Exciting The Old Fart For $800"....

..is it just me my friend, or has it been a long time since we have had this much talent (yes on paper so far) heading to camp within the 90 body count?.....hell we're talking about tough choices to get to the final 53 and how some formidable talent may be in the 37 cuts..am I clueless (usually am)??......

...thinking we have a pretty formidable talent pool of 90 to work through now and there will be some significant talent in the 37 let go...grass ain't always greener IMO.....

...and where did I us the word "supreme"?.....besides that is an alleged objective analysis usually tainted by subjectivity..."supreme" translates into "above all else" and you're way off base categorizing me as such....sorry, but I'm NOT a "Jim Jones Kool-Aid Drinker (they are ALL DEAD)"......your prerogative is to be pretty negative about this regime in general and I'm fine with that....differing yet respected opinions are how this place is supposed to work.....me for one is cautiously optimistic and I like the current path McBeane, McDermott and company are on even if we differ...

...LMAO...most improved line in history?.....can somebody assist this lad off the ledge?....think Greenspan called it "irrational exuberance"......we are a LONG way from legendary tandems of Shell/Upshaw or Hutch/Jones......throw in the "Electric Company" for good measure.....try "slow 'n steady" development as we go first....

...not sure if that should be a definitive statement versus "let's wait and see".....certainly FA acquisitions and draft picks are "all on unproven paper" as of now, but it is a bit disingenuous to deny that McBeane and company have not made a supreme effort to improve the talent around Allen IMO....he cannot do it all , similar to last year if you want him to be your long term franchise QB versus a quick exit on a gurney......

...WHOA!!...had to be a shining star at SOMETHING?...after all, we snookered everybody and took him before Russell, right?..........

...plenty of tears were shed....did not like NFLN's Terrell Davis and his inference about how many (mockery).......same azzclown who said AB avoided a "potential QB disaster in Bflo" and was "much better off with Carr and the Raiders"....eff him...and I hope these kids are true to their emotions and work their tails off to realize their dream.....Haskins was pretty smug about where he was selected.....he's not even worth a comment...BTW, mea cuplas here.....I have loathed Josh Rosen and his attitude from day 1...saw his video piece where he congratulated Murray on his Cards selection, thanked all of his 'Zona teammates and said he was excited to be with Dolphins for his "next chapter".....whether contrived or from the heart, takes bawls to say it publicly and I commend him.......manning up takes bawls IMO......

...we should probably keep you around for the "entertainment value" alone.......

....excellent assessment Hap......because of WHO you know, there is NO such thing as 9 lives.....this is a privileged membership afforded to 1,696 annually, not a RIGHT of passage..high payiong Big Boyz League requires big boyz pants.....he's a diaper dandy stuck in a hi-chair.....Walmart now hiring at $12.75 an hour.....

...adios and no need to come back....Ice Bowl is a true TBD friend who comes her often to engage in good conversations.....if you and others do not like him, IGNORE is a beautiful thing.....just loathe some of this reviled and repugnant crap towards TBD posters from where ever...... do me a favor and put ME on IGNORE......SMH.......

...translate...I'm NOT the brightest bulb in the lighting store.........

...FWIW, Casserly was pretty positive about Pack picks on NFLN....really likes the Sternberger kid............

...Jesus...."Sunday Sand In Thy Jockey Shorts" sure sounds painful.......

...McBeane masterfully crafted his contract with only $180,000 guaranteed, so Anderson is an easy out at any time....can then slide him onto the coaching staff as perhaps an Assistant QB Coach as a reward for being a "good soldier"...certainly bailed McBeane out after the Peterman/McCarron gaffe IMO...I believe week 1 would be the deadline before salary is fully guaranteed as a vested vet... Derek Anderson signed a 1 year, $1,120,000 contract with the Buffalo Bills, including a $90,000 signing bonus, $90,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,120,000. In 2019, Anderson will earn a base salary of $1,030,000 and a signing bonus of $90,000, while carrying a cap hit of $735,000 and a dead cap value of $90,000.

...good Lord, PLEASE no "Shaud draws" or "Spiller 'tween the tackles"....THOSE flashbacks are nightmarish..........

HINT: supreme sarcasm.......BOTH have some loose screws.............

....agree....that would leave him about a month to get up to speed on everything....not really fair (if that matters) to those going through minis, OTA's & TC, busting their butts for him to jump ahead.....

...or..."down and out"?.................

...well the good news is nobody has labeled him a bust.....YET.........

....maybe it's my imagination, but we seem to have one helluva talent pool of 90 heading to camp, more optimistic than in recent years.......camp competition for the final 53 should be fierce........

....not to worry!!...Irsay will be his mentor and guiding light.................

...a "job well done" is a woefully vast UNDERSTATEMENT....cannot even begin to imagine the countless number of hours you spend annually leading up to NFL Draft....truly extraordinary.....then to share it with TBD members and stay engaged here for the entire three days is the icing on the cake...thanks GB...
