Vikings HOF coach Bud Grant passes away - Age 95
SoCal Deek replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
Always seemed like a class act. His resume appears to be a lot like Marv Leavy. -
Thanks. That’s a simple, great breakdown. While I realize the players association stepped in long ago to reduce rookie salaries, it’s still hard for me to get my mind around the fact that Robert Woods just signed a contract as a maybe at best a Number 2 or 3 WR that will pay him more than a team’s entire draft allocation. Geeez! Seems to me that the pendulum has swung way too far.

Get Well Soon Mitch!

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve mentioned this before. I worked for decades in and around State government and I saw it so many times. In the case of the federal government most of these people simply don’t know anything else. They’ve been in Washington for so long that it’s become their home, their social circle, and essentially their entire life. They’re not there to use their experience and wisdom as public ‘servants’. They’re there because just like the classic Richard Gere line from Officer and a Gentleman they’ve “got nowhere else to go”! It’s sad and pathetic and needs to stop. The voters in these districts are not doing anyone a favor. -
Robert Woods to Texans, 2 years $15mm
SoCal Deek replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yikes! These salaries are out of control. A second/third tier WR gets $7.5M per season? Sheesh (That’s $500,000 per game!) What are we paying Gabe? -
I said the exact same thing just the other day…but I’d only been to the gas station and grocery store! 😉

Don’t waste your time Augie. We’ve generally found that everyone in Paris is more than happy to speak English with you. 👍 Super envious! Enjoy your trip.

This is going to sound odd based on a lot of the discussion around here, but the current Bills player that reminds me of Taylor is Gabe Davis. I have no idea if their physical measurements are anywhere close to the same.

Hunter Biden's Laptop Thread

My presentation went really well if that’s what you were asking. Thanks for thinking of me. 😉 -
I’m definitely old enough. He was a great player indeed.

Is there any defensive player you'd be happy with at pick 27?
SoCal Deek replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
We’re definitely going to disagree there. While not sexy, this team desperately needs two young stud Guards to anchor the middle of the line for the remaining years of Allen’s contract. They’ll be cheap for the duration, and improve both the passing and running game way more than a rookie WR that at the very best will catch four passes per game (maybe one or two more than Gabe would’ve caught). -

SoCal Deek replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don’t completely disagree but I’m more interested in using draft picks on positions that are in way worse shape, like the offensive line. Remember this thread is about Pick 27. -

I disagree on Davis. He’s definitely had his moments. Many of them. His problem is consistency in hanging onto the ball when challenged at the point of the catch. The coaching staff can definitely work on that with him. As regards the other skill positions, Singletary has consistently been merely average at best, and Knox simply isn’t thrown to in this offense. -
Wow! You missed the ENTIRE point of his report. The central theme was NOT that what happened was excusable, appropriate or should encouraged. His point was that your government is LYING to you. And….they did! To prove his point he shared specific examples of just that. He was NOT making an overarching finding about the protest. Wake up!
