Typically I agree with that logic but our FO has not shown logical progression where Bryce is concerned.

Bryce trusted AT. It was part of the reason AT had to go. Bryce had to look beyond AT as a 1st read. If Metchie falls into that security blanket role AT used to fill, it's a step back for Bryce. That's not something we need in such a pivotal year, if that were to happen.

It does but I'll hold my who's the asshole until it plays out. Somebody is gonna come out covered in poo. Just glad it wasn't us.

What i was referring to was so many people making it sound like the Ravens were sinners and Crosby and agent were saints. It could easily be the other way around. No one knows until we see Crosby live in a game, whenever that is and where his health is long term. Until then, it's all speculation on who did who wrong.

Having our starting LT coming from the Raiders 25' oline is more than code red for me. That's some close the blast doors on Crystal Mountain and pray Joshua can figure out tic-tac-toe.

The question was really meant to make one consider the motivations of the FO. Would you bring in another QB at 4m per season who had a statistically better season than Bryce as a "backup" or would they allow an open competition? I question the reasons behind signing Pickett. Is it about improving the team or protecting Bryce from competition.

The Saints have been in cap he'll for years and it was finally catching up. Their way out appears to have come by finding a QB on a sweetheart 2nd round deal.

The truth will come out when Crosby actually returns to the lineup. He and his agent could be blowing smoke about his progress to get a fat new deal witha team that has SB chances. NFL GMs aren't the only slimy ones out there. If Crosby returns on schedule and at full speed, the Ravens lose face. If he doesn't, Ravens look smart and Crosby and his agent do. We went through similar drafting Brooks. He was going to be ready by camp, then he wasn't. Then the start of the season. Then week 3, and so on. Time will tell if the Ravens or Crosby were in the right. Either way, the Raiders have got to be pissed.

I didn't sip mine either. I have no memory of it. I just know the pictures all my friends took. Evidently it was something I would have wished I could remembered. Afterwards they said I passed out and the only knew I was alive because they heard my head lift up and hit the floor. Probably should have called an ambulance for alcohol poisoning. Evidently it was good times. I just remember none of it.

I just remember the Popcorn Sutton name from my first jar because it was such an out of the normal name. A friend of mine bought me the most recent jar on a trip to Nashville. I'm not picky either, it just has to be really good. I've got a local shiner I buy from now when he's brewing. I haven't heard of the Good Time Boogie but I've been to similar. Something about good pig pickin, good liquor, and just some good Ole boys and girls having a good time I really miss. And I think much depravity might be an understatement.

Hard to say the Ravens did dirty until Crosby actually returns to play. Brooks was supposed to be healthy too and went months past his anticipated return date. If Crosby hasn't progressed as much as projected, it could definitely create cold feet. Like I said, no one will really know until he actually returns to the field.

Is there a defensive lineman somewhere we can convert to a LT?

We had a bottle of apple pie whiskey a few months ago. Tasted just like apple pie, so smooth and tasty you would swear it was out of your grandma's oven. The hangover the next day, not so smooth. Worth every damn penny we paid for it. That was some good shine.

The only one from the Raiders line last year would be JPJ. Tha was some of the worst OL play I've ever seen. The fact Jeanty got near to 1000 yards is a credit to how talented he is because that line sucked at pretty much everything.

My first experience with shine was from a jar alleged to brewed by Popcorn Sutton. I wouldn't be able to tell you, it tasted like turpentine. I had a jar of white lightning from the Popcorn Sutton Distillery from just before it closed. Tasted about the same. Either one would send your head into a whirlwind.
