  1. Im pretty sure I saw him downtown in Greenville, SC the other day. Maybe he’s working out at Clemson? Definitely strange that he can’t even get a chance, unless he’ll only play for a set price.
  2. This is the more overarching issue. Even if he gets back fully healthy for Week 1… this is who he is.
  3. I don’t think we’re trading for him because I doubt Dallas would ever consider it, but I feel like Beane would definitely call and he is Keon’s cousin. The price tag is big, but he’s a Top 5 WR and it’s reported that some of the hang up is cash flow/structuring. Jerry can do it if he wants to, but there’s only a handful of GM’s that can financially just say ok to a heavy frontloaded cash flow, and Pegula is one of them.
  4. For the right player, just make the move now and structure the cap hits for future years. We probably will, but don’t have to, wait until the money is officially off the books. If Beane had another draft class looking like the one he just had, we’re going to be able to stock the depth/rotation of this roster with cheap talent.
  5. I mean.. Pegula is one of the handful of owners in the league that would have no problem giving Ceedee his cash flow demands … Jerry is obviously one of the others, so, not sure what his hold up is.
  6. Lol.. ok, if we somehow traded for Ceedee Lamb, we will not have a high 1st next year… stop it.
  7. Keon Coleman’s cousin posting cryptic on IG… (Ceedee Lamb) I’ve definitely been on the “we have enough” wagon, but my goodness… these injuries are insane. For that guy, I’m on the phone if I’m Beane on the off chance he’s available. Not overly concerned with most of those injuries as they are minor or players we hopefully won’t need/have depth for, but Samuel with turf toe is less than ideal… at worst, a major issue.
  8. Not mean at all .. the excuses are valid for injury, but at a some point if you can't stay healthy while other teams can, that's a you problem.
  9. This is true, but they've also had some good injury luck compared to the other contending teams. Nobody of the caliber of Tre White, Von Miller, Matt Milano has been down due to injury in the playoffs (except for one game where Mahomes went out towards the end), let alone the avalanche of injuries we had last year.
  10. Some rumblings out of Washington about Jahan Dotson.. what if we could move Cook for a guy like Dotson straight up? I know we're 99% not moving Cook, but that's the type of trade I'd listen to.
  11. I'm seeing a lot of people resigned to this being a down year or becoming openly frustrated with the roster building for this season. I'm not going to say that we're better than last year or those people don't have justifiable reason to feel that way.. but I don't see this roster in the same way. So what has to happen for y'all to feel like we have a Super Bowl contending squad again? For me: 1) I believe the OL will be a strength again. We have talent and depth that has been in the system for multiple years now and Kromer is one of the best in the game. When we look at the AFC contenders, I think the Bills and Chiefs likely have the two best OL's. 2) Kincaid makes the jump to a legitimate "focal point of the Offense" type player. 3) One WR steps up to give us a reliable 3rd option outside Shakir & Samuel. 4) Von & Jones return to 80%+ of what they were pre-injury and Rousseau stays healthy, making the jump to a double digit sack EDGE. 5) LB opposite Bernard & both Safety positions give us baseline average play and don't become liabilities as I think we need the DL and CB's to carry this Defense. Not factoring in coaching (Babich/Brady), as we don't really know what they want to do yet, are these five points too much to hope for if we're being realistic? Anything else that should be added?
  12. Probably not, but a player for player swap I would listen to.
  13. This man is literally begging Taylor Swift to do some grand endorsement of Kamala Harris at this point.
  14. Trump spent like a drunken sailor during covid, but you outlined one major piece of his economic policy. Harris entire economic policy is based on government control and free handouts .. floating various forms of UBI, $25k homebuyer, student loan forgiveness etc., Everything she proposes is on the backs of the taxpayer/future generations while creating inflationary pressure on the economy.
  15. The thing is, nobody has any idea what this offense will look like. So what are we referencing when we say “would it help”? Im not opposed.. I just have no frame of reference to compare it to yet.
  16. They won a playoff game with a backup QB coming in over the Browns. This is also a Mahomes comment, but I digress.
  17. This is at the core of everything Harris proposes. She relies on voters (and the media) not asking this question.
  18. I honestly 100% understand this sentiment. I just can’t do it. This Presidency likely replaces 1-2 Supreme Court Justices. The long term border actions are not only disastrous for money, safety, drug, terror implications, but it’s being done on purpose. This will yield future voters. Voters who will have grown up relying on govt handouts. So they’re predisposed to vote Dem. Nevermind the fact that house seats and determined by overall population and states like California are backfilling their exodus by importing residents from the border. So far, it’s been a net of maybe 1-2 seats for Dems, as apportionment goes both ways .. Texas/Florida gaining a seat too, but it’s something to think about. So, I understand the want to remove Trump from the party - I do too … but Harris wants to implement aggressive handout policy and as we know.. once you start handing out money, it’s rarely reigned back in. A lot of long term consequences in play for the immediate satisfaction of removing MAGA. My only hope, should you get your wish, is that the next four years would usher in 8 years of DeSantis or Youngkin, but damage will likely be done prior to that.
  19. People can get mad at JD Vance all they want, but he’s correct when discussing “cat ladies”. Im not exactly sure what’s going on with liberal women, but it’s not healthy. Many of them seem to find their identity in social causes, absent a healthy relationship, a family or religion. It, by default, becomes their religion. They harbor so much anger & resentment towards a large portion of the white male population. And the truly fascinating aspect that needs to be studied is the absolute sky high usage of SSRI’s amongst white women. It’s spiking off the charts compared to every other group. Why?
  20. Where’s the money coming from? Question that needs to be asked about almost every single one of her handout policies. Yes, this will likely just raise home prices by both artificially boosting the money supple people have to purchase homes and the likely surge of new home buyers under the plan. By giving folks down payment money, it does bring into scope the worry of a housing crash where people buy homes they can’t afford. Im not necessarily hardcore against this plan, as I think something needs to be done to level the playing field for millennials/gen z, who have been completely ****ed over by prior generations and corporations like BlackRock when it comes to home ownership. But every single one of her plans seems to rely on free money and/or government intervention. Thats a very worrisome, and somewhat predictable, road to travel. She needs to answer real, substantive questions on how her plans will be subsidized and implemented, because she is honestly playing games with the economic future of this country. Call her communist, socialist, whatever… I’ll try to have a substantive take on this without labeling, but anyone with any economic sense will look at her proposals and either conclude she’s lying or this is incredibly troubling policy that needs to be thoroughly explained to the voters (but it won’t, because she’s relying on it not being explained).
  21. I’m also getting sick of the comments I see about “well, if Josh gets hurt, doesn’t matter anyway”. No, actually, it does matter. Josh Allen has played through injuries that would have sidelined 90%+ of other QB’s for a 2-4 weeks. As of right now, if he actually does miss 2-4 weeks, chalk up 2-4 L’s with this schedule and the difference between making the playoffs or not. Im not saying some rookie QB or a better option would help, but nobody should have any faith that Trubisky can even win one game against a lighter opponent on the schedule, if needed.
