I've always thought that Wormtongue looks like a slightly aged Edward Scissorhands. It's that bizarre Goth thing, I think...

I would have gone with Exodus and Pharaoh hardening his heart, causing the various plagues to befall Egypt. Job works, though.

You already know the answer. Say it with me, 'Build the offensive line.' Here's another phrase to embrace; say it with me now, 'If we build it, he (quality future FA QB) will come." My work here is now complete...

We may see four QB’s taken in the first 8 picks. What are the realistic scenarios where Sewell is still on the board at 8? If he is, I think you have to take him. But what if Trey and Sewell are both still on the board at 8? Teams don’t get to choose in this draft position often and when you do, you can’t afford to whiff. Sewell looks like a high probability, long term solution at a position where we perennially have a dumpster fire. Trey may be a future franchise QB but at draft time, he is still developmental. There is some level of risk. You may whiff. Choose Sewell.

Let me try. CMC’s injury wasn’t the disaster some feared. Teddy’s inadequacies were exposed. We moved up in draft order. CMC’s injury saved another year of wear and extended his career. We went cheap in signing Teddy Checkdown because we resigned CMC to a massive contract extension. Draft Mac Jones. Did I get it all?

Ouch! Brutal but true...

Perhaps not character but businesses do look for emotional intelligence, the ability to communicate effectively, poise under duress, etc., all things that can be revealed when watching a prospective employee speaking publicly. They are valid 'tells' and part of the overall evaluation process. Will not make up for a limp arm or lousy wonderlic test.

Apparently, you've never driven through the Sanctuary...

Sweet. The all purpose additional ingredient that covers both hangover and angina.

No matter what, she will always be Daddys' little girl...

A snack food for males with low T?

Imagine that. A coach that actually coaches, pushing players and coaching staff to strive for better. What a novel concept. I like this much more than coaches standing stoically on the side lines, looking constipated.

You must be thinking of Cream of Wheat...

Would you and all the others still flogging this dead horse please let it go? It’s only been mentioned 1 million times now. Repeating this over and over won’t change the outcome.

From my perspective, the problem with Teddy Checkdown wasn’t his arm but his head. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone make the argument that he couldn’t throw down field, just that he always went ‘safe’. If true, than any draft candidate that has any ‘adequate’ arm but with leaderships traits and coachable may be serviceable to get us many years of playoffs, a la Jake. Just my opinion. YMMV.

True but do bullet point three the wrong way and you could be facing very expensive litigation. Even if you win, it could be costly in dollars to defend and business reputation. YMMV.

Interviewing employees of your competitor is a long standing practice and an invaluable tool for collecting intelligence. You do it whenever you can, subject to certain ethical considerations, such as... Do you actually have an opening you are trying to fill? Interview separated employees only or those still employed? Do you induce the disclosure of protected information through the possibility of a job offer? Your moral compass will determine how you answer the above questions but be careful, if you are too aggressive, you can step over the line into questionable legality.

Thank you, Dwayne

I see our new GM is dressed in Bill Belichick casual...

Do a sign and trade with Samuel. Detroit gets Samuel as a valuable weapon for whatever QB they draft at #7, we get Stafford, we keep our #8 pick and take Surtain or Sewell, whichever is available. Win, win, win. Never going to happen but a man can dream...
