This is what I expected in his first game, and I am happy with his progress. The accuracy wasn't horrible. That throw between the defenders was special and I can see how people can easily get caught up admiring his physical gifts. I honestly think we might have something with Josh, I have no problem letting AJ or (Dare i say) NP start while Allen develops more.
Loved Marv, he was a true leader of men.
"Fight on, my men," says Sir Andrew Barton, "I am hurt, but I am not slain; I'll lay me down and bleed a while, And then I'll rise and fight again.
There is rarely a case where I understand why a guy is holding out. Donald deserves every dime he gets, dude is a game changer and one of the best defensive players of the past 10-15 years.
Maybe they did reach out to Decker and he didn't feel the love on the telephone. Maybe he has loved the patriots style of play for some time and Decker realized this offseason the flame still burns. Maybe our front office did reach out and fought tooth and nail to sign him but he ended up going somewhere else. And now that he's signed with a division rival McBeane can only sit and stew and say to themselves I'll get even with you.
Duuuuuhhhhh
This thread reminds me of the Michael Jasper hype from years ago on BBMB, a small contingency of people incredibly excited for a guy who ultimately gets cut. Not saying NP will be cut, but I highly doubt he ends up the starter. He will have more pages on this thread then he will TD's in his career.
Completely agree, I doubt a first alone gets it done. rarely do players of his caliber at his age become available, if the FO thinks it's doable pull the trigger.
So all the evaluations were wrong when they had him as a first round grade? I am sure there were some outliers who had him going after the first round but those opinions, like your's are an anomaly. He was a consensus 1st round prospect.
I dumped Comcast for PS Vue a couple years ago. The sports package that includes NFL network MLB NHL and NBA and tons of other channels is 60$/mo. Best decision I made, I hated comcast.
I really hope he is the exception to the rule, love the guy and love his attitude and I really hope he doesn't have the precipitous drop like most RB's do. I would love if he could be serviceable this year and we could get a stud in the mid rounds next year.
