  1. FYI: The guy talking up Chubba Hubbard at about 19 minutes in is the scout who left for a promotion with the Lions.
  2. I can agree with the choices, but not the order. I think Chinn would net a better trade than Brown. Burns likely does have to be at the top though because the league puts a premium on pass rushers.
  3. I remember seeing a comment that they had Christensen, Cosmi and a couple of others all graded about the same but I don't remember where.
  4. I'd probably vote Brian Burns for that spot. On ability, McCaffrey but Burns has an infinitely more tradable contract. Mind you, I'm not interested in trading either one.
  5. It's kind of a function of the structure. You have to win your division to get to the playoffs, so the other three teams in your division become your rivals. The animosity between teams just kind of comes naturally in that situation, but certain people do "stoke the flames" as it were
  6. I actually think it's kind of interesting that they're grading players at more than one position. I wonder if that's been done in Carolina before.
  7. Honestly I think that happens to a decent number of quarterbacks. It's been argued that's what happened to Darnold. I think of David Carr as an example. I've long believed that he could have been a good NFL quarterback if his first few years hadn't suffered from such sh-tty coaching and team management on the part of the Texans.
  8. I don't really give a damn if he's the most boring person in the world as long as he wins.
  9. I said before it wouldn't surprise me if he plays left tackle this year but gets shifted to guard in favor of more highly drafted left tackle next season. And I'm okay with that.
  10. Very possible. There's a saying that the length of the average NFL career is one year too long.
  11. Not necessarily about Ron, but potentially about the organization. Granted, our organization wasn't exactly stellar for most of his years here. Given the faith they showed in him though, his opinion might be different.
  12. That's supposed to say "technically", but autocorrect is a birch
  13. I remember being told I was too much of a pessimist. Now apparently I'm too much of an optimist
  14. I guess part of my reason for optimism is that it really feels like our current leadership actually knows what they're doing. It's been a pretty long time since I've felt that way.
  15. Also, not directly related but for anybody who does video work this might be of interest.
  16. Meanwhile, over at Texans minicamp... Just remembering when people were saying that John McClain was the shill for the Texans brass And yeah, he's right. That's pretty stupid.
  17. "So are we trading back again?" One of the stories that I found about Fitterer back during the GM search was that one year when John Schneider had traded back a bunch of times he got a little frustrated, went to Schneider and said "Okay can we stop now?"
  18. I mean, as an example of a guy who was pedestrian his first few seasons but turned it around, it's valid. Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't think it's meant as a comparison to Brees (or at least it shouldn't be). And personally, I'd be happy if Darnold was just good to great. He doesn't necessarily have to be Hall of Fame worthy for us to be successful.
  19. I switched from Chrome to Opera on my phone and I gotta say I'm liking it right now.
  20. The Camp Confidential video does kinda make this story look like bullsh-t.
  21. Back when I was in high school, a guy I knew who was an assistant coach at an opposing school asked me that question. I named his school. He responded, "You know who our rival is?" I asked who. He said, "Whoever we're playing this week." That always kinda stuck with me.
  22. Speaking of wives talking about their husbands
  23. Boy, would I love to hear some context for that last comment
  24. That, plus you can tell from the pre draft discussions that they really liked Jaycee Horn.
