  1. We had two dogs for 15 years who we had to put down, oddly, within a month of each other in Spring 2015.  The sedative is a MUST.  We told our kids (10 and 6 at the time) to say goodbye because we were taking the dog(s) to the vet and they may not be there when the kids got home from school.  That might have been as much for the kids as for us, because neither my wife nor I had ever taken a dog to be put down before.

     

    When it came time, I held the dog in my arms when the shots where given. I felt the life go from the body.  Haunting, but I wouldn't want my dogs to die any other way.  Peaceful in my arms.  

     

    As for getting another dog, you will know when (if) you are ready.  We waited a bit and rescued a husky in April 2016 and then another in July 2017, so we again have two dogs.  But it took a while.

     

    EDIT: Might be cliche, but this gave me some comfort.

    I think he is generally regarded as a guy that really understands the position. He played it at a high level in college and played a few years in the NFL with pretty much zero athletic ability or talent. He had a noodle arm, so he got everything he could by being smart and good technique. That's the kind of guy I want as my quarterback coach. He is very strong with the cerebral side of the game. He also has a background in pro scouting. He is generally credited with doing a lot for Cam Newton in terms of technique etc.  

     

    I also like the idea of some young blood on the staff. 

     

     

    This is an absolute spot-on comment.  Dorsey would be a nice "get" for the staff and may also help in evaluating the QBs in the draft.

  3. My point with Brees is that if the Bills braintrust believes Cousins is the next Brees, go all in.

     

    CLE and NYG are taking QBs at 1 and 2.  So, at best, you are getting the third best QB in the draft class.  How many draft classes have 3 franchise QBs?  Not many...last one I can think of off the top of my head is 2004 (Eli, Rivers and Ben).  That was the year we took Losman.  Nothing will set this franchise back more than giving up all those picks and ending up with JP Losman part 2.

     

    EDIT: I mean...that list is ugly for the "third" franchise QB....
