NAS

The context was about how some people criticized him for making too many changes too quickly as an owner and that others criticized him for not doing enough like "getting rid of Rivera" sooner.

Anyone hear Tepper slip up and say "got rid of Rivera" LOL

It's not even that, I think some people are just nervous at public speaking. Not the number one skill for a GM to have.

Good leaders admit when they make mistakes. Glad to see he keeps his ego in check. This was a very good interview

Man City or Man United will win it this year. This is one of the most exciting seasons ever because there's only 10 points separating 1st from 10th.

Supporters section is tempting but I already feel too old for that. I plan to be taking my 10 year old son to games so general or premium seating is what we'll be looking at.

I agree and don't think it was just his play either. He was not the "leader" that we were told he was going to be.

Confirms my fears that we will need to trade up just to ensure a QB falls to us. https://sports.yahoo.com/2021-nfl-draft-q-bs-could-go-even-higher-than-expected-with-all-the-teams-that-need-one-191058966.html “With all the forecastable changes at the position, there’s an argument to be made that half of the NFL’s teams might be seeking a “franchise quarterback.” A fair share of veteran quarterbacks will fill some of those spots, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that multiple rookies will make up a notable piece of that picture. Expect the top of the 2021 draft to be quite QB heavy as teams jockey to land their preferred choice. Scenario where five quarterbacks land in the top half of the draft (possibly even in the top 10) wouldn’t be a stretch. So if you want to snag one, you had better already be picking high — or be prepared to pay a premium to land in that range.” “Lance could end up one of the best quarterbacks in this class. He has tremendous ability, difficult as his projection might be. The team drafting Lance, however, almost certainly must buttress having a veteran option in place to start Week 1 with the assumption that Lance will need time to develop before he’s ready to start.”

Hurney negotiated the contract

Because we had Hurney for most of the century as our GM

Do we know if Deshaun actually likes this guy?

No thanks, Stafford is on the back end of this career.

Sad he never made the superbowl but choked in big moments.

Another bad contract, should have kept Star.

I would be elated if this happens

So how did Kuechly do this year?

Agreed, great film!

For those who still don’t take this seriously or fail to understand the meaning of exponential growth and how quickly we’re going to get engulfed by this virus. Consider the following parable about exponential spread. "You have a pond of a certain size, and upon that pond, a single lilypad. This particular species of lily pad reproduces once a day, so that on day two, you have two lily pads. On day three, you have four, and so on. Now the teaser. “If it takes the lily pads 48 days to cover the pond completely, how long will it take for the pond to be covered halfway?” The answer is 47 days. Moreover, at day 40, you’ll barely know the lily pads are there” At the rate we’re going half of our country will have the virus in about 8 weeks. I hope our government will do what’s necessary to force people into isolation and flatten the curve so our hospitals can handle those who are really sick

Maybe not to the extent of this crisis but we could have responded a lot faster than the idiot Trump who called it a Hoax for 6 weeks.

If you're going to get into that, then the only person to blame is Trump. Obama administration left him with the infrastrucutre and plans to deal with pandemic based on the H1N1 and Ebola experience. Trump dismantled it in 2018 and reallocated funding.

One thing to keep in mind is that this novel virus is unpredictable, we don't know if and how it may mutate again which could impact who is at risk and the ability to build a vaccine and general immunity

Copied:. Good explanation here: Feeling confused as to why Coronavirus is a bigger deal than Seasonal flu? Here it is in a nutshell. I hope this helps. Feel free to share this to others who don’t understand... It has to do with RNA sequencing.... I.e. genetics. Seasonal flu is an “all human virus”. The DNA/RNA chains that make up the virus are recognized by the human immune system. This means that your body has some immunity to it before it comes around each year... you get immunity two ways...through exposure to a virus, or by getting a flu shot. Novel viruses, come from animals.... the WHO tracks novel viruses in animals, (sometimes for years watching for mutations). Usually these viruses only transfer from animal to animal (pigs in the case of H1N1) (birds in the case of the Spanish flu). But once, one of these animal viruses mutates, and starts to transfer from animals to humans... then it’s a problem, Why? Because we have no natural or acquired immunity.. the RNA sequencing of the genes inside the virus isn’t human, and the human immune system doesn’t recognize it so, we can’t fight it off. Now.... sometimes, the mutation only allows transfer from animal to human, for years it’s only transmission is from an infected animal to a human before it finally mutates so that it can now transfer human to human... once that happens..we have a new contagion phase. And depending on the fashion of this new mutation, thats what decides how contagious, or how deadly it’s gonna be.. H1N1 was deadly....but it did not mutate in a way that was as deadly as the Spanish flu. It’s RNA was slower to mutate and it attacked its host differently, too. Fast forward. Now, here comes this Coronavirus... it existed in animals only, for nobody knows how long...but one day, at an animal market, in Wuhan China, in December 2019, it mutated and made the jump from animal to people. At first, only animals could give it to a person... But here is the scary part.... in just TWO WEEKS it mutated again and gained the ability to jump from human to human. Scientists call this quick ability, “slippery” This Coronavirus, not being in any form a “human” virus (whereas we would all have some natural or acquired immunity). Took off like a rocket. And this was because, Humans have no known immunity...doctors have no known medicines for it. And it just so happens that this particular mutated animal virus, changed itself in such a way the way that it causes great damage to human lungs.. That’s why Coronavirus is different from seasonal flu, or H1N1 or any other type of influenza.... this one is slippery AF. And it’s a lung eater...And, it’s already mutated AGAIN, so that we now have two strains to deal with, strain s, and strain L....which makes it twice as hard to develop a vaccine. We really have no tools in our shed, with this. History has shown that fast and immediate closings of public places has helped in the past pandemics. Philadelphia and Baltimore were reluctant to close events in 1918 and they were the hardest hit in the US during the Spanish Flu. Factoid: Henry VIII stayed in his room and allowed no one near him, till the Black Plague passed...(honestly...I understand him so much better now). Just like us, he had no tools in his shed, except social isolation... And let me end by saying....right now it’s hitting older folks harder... but this genome is so slippery...if it mutates again (and it will). Who is to say, what it will do next. Be smart folks... #flattenthecurve. Stay home... and share this to those that just are not catching on.
