Juan talking about erotic blitzes.

Hell, he ain't the only one. I'm experiencing problems too. Granted I don't have an amplifier, but I got good coax from my nephew who used to install cable for a living (he installs home theatre systems and the like now).

Dalton made a couple of bad calls in my opinion. Of course the TD INT was a disaster. On one of the screens to Thomas, he should've thrown the ball into the ground as opposed to throwing it 3-4 yards behind the line to a guy in traffic. He also threw the ball a tad early to Thomas on the one everyone is saying Thomas dropped. Dalton doing Dalton things.

He did not turn the receiver at all.

A ref making a call on an assumption... It was a bullshit call.

I thought that you had to redirect the receiver.

He was not down at the two. The refs gave a poor spot. He should've been at the three.

Looked like a bullshit interference call to me.

Y'all do realize the ball to Thomas was a tad early?

Dalton threw a hospital ball.

Damn. Hope that doesn't happen when Burns, Houston and Brown are in there.

Will some of you stop with the bad Bryce takes now? No? Carry on.

You do realize that that was a throw-out?

Nah, dude, it really doesn't.

Let's try to at least wait September out until we begin saying that our O-line consistency and depth are "HUGE" problems. Hell, I'd say give it four or five games. Ickey is still very young, as are a few of the guys, and, like it or not, it takes time to knock the rust off.

No, I didn't see Newton. Newton was a much smoother passer, and more patient in the pocket. Anthony Richardson may develop into a more accurate passer, but I doubt it. He may develop into a guy that can throw a pass with touch, but I have my suspicions. He can certainly learn to make better decisions but never get to an elite level, because in my experience that's something that doesn't come naturally to guys that rely on their legs and strength too much (like a Newton or a Josh Allen). Dude has a long way to go. And for all you guys still secretly (or not so secretly) wishing that we had picked AR, go root for the gotdamn Colts. Bryce Young is far and ahead a better QB, and it's likely going to stay that way because football is not only in his blood, but the traits that make guys elite for the long haul come naturally to him.

Didn't he say that he was going to write a hit piece on Ickey over the hot mic? Well, here it is. I'm going to continue to believe (until I don't) that Ickey is just rusty. If he's still making glaring mistakes by October with regularity, then I'll be concerned.

You have a right to your opinion, but as one who has watched most of Chark's catches, I disagree that he's only a one-trick pony (though a deep threat is important also). He also makes catches that move the chains, and he is a solid red zone threat. Chark also has great hands and phenomenal ball tracking skills. All you have to do is watch his catches. Is he going to juke people like Moore, or take a hit and keep on going like Smitty, or like what we saw Mingo do? No. But his skills should not be underappreciated.

I mean, that's easy to say, but Chark is younger and more explosive than Thielen (who is on the wrong side of 30). Of course, it's all for naught if he can't seem to stay on the field. On the field though, Chark can really hang with the best of them. A healthy Chark is a receiver to be reckoned with. The only reason I am even saying that Mingo is more important is because we just drafted him. We think that he can be a Pro Bowl receiver, but Chark has been there. Again, don't get me wrong, his injuries have overshadowed his skill. If Chark doesn't work out, I'd like to think that TMJ can, but that's just hope (unless he proves it). That being said, If I'm Fitt, I'm not relying on Thielen or TMJ in 2024, I'm acquiring new blood.

On paper, I'm still taking 2023. Chark, Mingo, Shenault and TMJ were all second rounders. Thielen has been a legit go-to quasi WR1. Take 89 from 2011, and it gets ugly immediately. Not even a half dozen red Solo cups of Hunch Punch will make that look good.

Well since you brought it up, I'll say that I have no problem with Huddlers getting warned, but I have three issues in general. 1. Warnings need to be meted out equitably. I understand that you must use judgement in any specific situation, but you can't warn one when another in that specific situation has obviously done the same thing. 2. The same forum member shouldn't receive two warnings from two different mods with two different outcomes for the exact same infraction. That's akin to douchebaggery by the second mod, punishing you when one mod has already warned you. 3. I think that mods are able to "hide" in the sense that you won't even take messages about said warnings in order for Huddlers to make their case if they so desire Points 1 and 2, I just will never understand as it speaks to justice and fairness. Point 3? Well it would be nice. Sometimes appeals are justified (sometimes not). Just my two cents (especially being that @Zod seems to be letting the prisoners run the asyluml).

Yeah, I think that the cost to trade up for Corral was simply your average run-of-the-mill trade during a draft. It's a swing with relatively minimal cost. As for Rhule giving Corral a legit shot, I believe that was his intent until Baker Mayfield really became feasible. I think that once we were able to acquire Baker for relatively cheap, Rhule flipped the whole script for Corral. Corral had a decent situation turn into the worst situation possible. He was not put into the best situation to be developed, much less succeed.

You should know, Big D.

We'll have to wait and see, but 2023 has more potential.
