He should have been fired for the racist stuff he said on air awhile back -
NFL GM's want Draft postponed
thenorthremembers replied to Mark Vader's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What "triggered" me was you acting like you were somehow not just a message board poster yourself. I am sorry but if these GMs dont have a solid idea of who they are locked in on 4 weeks before a draft they spend years preparing for, it is my opinion, even if you think it stinks, that they are being a bit disingenuous. You ignored the point I made about why they are waiting for the final weeks before the draft to get medicals and measurements. Do you legitimately believe, four weeks from the draft that they still dont have the height and weight of hundreds of players? As far as drafting a football player being a decision that livelihoods depend on, I'd say thats a bit of hyperbole on your part. People in different fields make real life altering decisions with a lot more at stake than a football game everyday, and they do it in a split second. -
NFL GM's want Draft postponed
thenorthremembers replied to Mark Vader's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
People just disagree with you, take it easy. Did you think for a second you may be wrong? Did you think for a second these guys who want the extension may be using the media to their advantage? Guess what, a lot of these experts were still going to screw it up regardless of having the extra few weeks. As for not having medicals, the Bills drafted two players just a few years ago who missed significant playing time on shoulder and knee injuries their medical teams cleared. On the 30-40% not having verified measurements, where were those measurements going to come from in the last month before the draft? They had 2-3 years worth of scouting, the shrine game, the senior bowl, and the combine and still didnt have measurements and medicals on players? Are you telling me the teams spend the last month leading up to the draft sending their medical teams and scouts out to measure up to 500 players? Give me a break man. Stop believing everything you read on twitter. Cool story calling people Arm Chair GMs, very mature way to solve a disagreement. Do you think you're somehow above being an arm chair GM by posting your opinion? As for me I wasn't planning on watching the draft. But keep arguing with people on a sports message board, there may be something deeper going on. -

I would if my boss told me it was due and I didnt have an extension. I am sorry but if you dont have enough information after 2-3 years of scouting, and your choice really rested on watching an athlete go through a pro day then maybe you need to be doing something else. They voted unanimously because they had a built in excuse for more time to do their work. Agree to disagree. If this was strictly about health concerns due to the virus I'd get it, but given the adjustments the NFL has already made, this isnt what it's about. -
Gave it a couple episodes but there is just too much sickness and sadness in it for me. Kept thinking of 1 Peter 5:8 as Satan is all over these people. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

If you could get an extension at work to finish a project that may decide the fate of your job 2-3 years for now, would you take it? I know why they are asking. I just dont think it needs to be done. -

Most of these guys have had three to four years to get an idea of who these players are. In addition, they've had the Senior Bowl and the Combine. No reason to postpone the draft. -

That was sarcasm. I'll forward it to Beane when his way of doing things stops working. -

I wonder if Field gets paid by the Panthers for hyperbole. -
Robby Anderson to Panthers

Man the Panthers are quickly becoming Temple South. I bet Panther fans are just up in arms about all the additions from Rhule's past. Time for the organization to move into 2020 and stop living in the past. -
Free Agency News and Updates - around the league
thenorthremembers replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He was very good in the post season. However, to call him a major force when the team ranked 26th in defense is a bit laughable. I said it before, and I'll say it again, Clowney is the defensive version of Sammy Watkins. He has phenomenal natural ability, and has two to three great games a year where fans can point to and say "if he was just in the right situation." But they are both lacking that gear that makes phenoms into all time greats. -
Bills re-sign Isiah McKenzie

Thought this way Isaiah McKittrick, Issac's brother. Issac plays for the Rams. -

He is 100% not worth it you're correct. The issue is dumb teams like the Giants and Lions paid guys like Olivier Vernon and Trey Flowers astronomical contracts to be average to above average players. I don't think he will get 20 million a year, but if I were his agent I wouldnt take anything less than the average of those two contracts multiplied by the difference in salary cap. Given the current salaries he shouldnt settle for anything less than 17.5-18 million a year. -

Dareus would have fetched a higher pick if he wasnt being paid like a quarterback. -

So many NFL teams get this right, get a good logo and stop messing with it. Its the reason the Steelers, Bears, Packers, Raiders, Colts and Cowboys have great jerseys they leave them be. Gotta stop messing with stuff that isnt broken.

His passing yards were 23rd just below the NFL MVP. His touchdowns were 23rd, much higher if you track total touchdowns. He is a 2nd year quarterback who is 15-12 as a starter, and took the team to the playoffs last year. Without his wheels they probably dont get there. On the QBR, which I think is a total farce, if you think Jacoby Brissett, Daniel Jones, Jameis Winston, Kyler Murray, Derek Carr, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Ryan Tannehill are all better QBs than Josh Allen go ahead, but you'd be wrong. If you want to look at stats to justify a Quarterback being good or not fine, but dont forget the player's entire game. Is Josh one of the best passers in the league right now, probably not. However, he is one of the top 15 players at his position, and he is pushing for top 10.
