Mr. Scot

He was a backup. He wasn't even guaranteed to make the squad. He didn't cost us anything. Camp hasn't even started yet. EVERYBODY PANIC!!!

I don't see any gain.

Are we really talking about guys like Anthony Collins and Sam Baker?

Twitter is the Soapbox of the stupid.

Better player when healthy, but not healthy.

I honestly wasn't expecting much from him anyway, so I'm not that bothered.

Ouch.

I blame you.

Whereas those of us who made the best posts in this thread get one of these...

"Vacay"? Is that you, Joe?.

On again at 1:30am. When you watch these, always remember they work to put the best spin possible on every team, every season. Heck, go back and watch the ones for 2001 and 2010.

I'm probably one of the biggest math nerds you'll ever meet. I do a lot of spreadsheet work at my job and I track my own personal expenses the same way. My household budget is plotted a year in advance. But even so, there are few things that make me laugh harder than people who think you can judge the quality of a team or a player using stats as your primary tool.

Well, there's certainly no source I trust more for good football analysis than Harvard.

No DVR? It'll be on twice, and the first showing isn't till 9:30pm tonight (Eastern). The next at 1:30am. Will you be working at both those times?

Or you acting like his being suspended was some terrible injustice rather than understanding that it happened because he did something to deserve it. It was his own fault. No one else's. (and don't bother trying the "it should be legal" argument; that's no excuse) Again, it's not like we're ignoring someone the rest of the league is panting after. Nobody wants this guy right now. Maybe he'll get a shot somewhere eventually, but the fact no team has any interest right now when there are 90 people to a roster and he'd come cheap says something.

They go 7-8-1 in the regular season, win the division based on a strong finish, beat the Arizona Cardinals in a playoff game but then get knocked out of the playoffs by the Seattle Seahawks.

That he was in some undeserved 'doghouse' is not a fact. It's an opinion.

My cable listings say 9:30pm and again four hours later at 1:30am.

I'd forward that question to the league's 32 general managers, because so far not a single one of them has found him worthy of an offer sheet (even at a time when teams are carrying ten receivers). He might get a shot somewhere at some point, but the fact that nobody was even willing to pay him a fourth round rookie contract doesn't bode well.

Not really. He's pointing out that rookie success doesn't guarantee continued success. Colbert is a perfect example of that.

Not always.

This is why it's long.

This sure as heck feels like it. Honestly, if the team continues to acquire talent and improve, future years will probably seem even longer. But looking at the big picture, I'll take that.

So this is you?
