Who is asking their doctor about a medication that half of the ad is reading off a list of side effects like anal leakage, dick falls off, sudden death, etc? It's primarily about buying off the media to not report on their activity that should be criminal.

People have to understand that the pharma ads aren't targeted toward them. They're not "ads". They're payment for favorable media treatment. Are you going to do a hit piece on big pharma if they're completely floating you financially? I think not.

The problem here is that if you're inconsistent with it then you're definitely not elite. Every QB with an NFL contract can do these things on occasion or else they wouldn't have an NFL contract. Every QB on an NFL roster can show flashes of the talent that got them into the league.

Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.

As can every other position. My point is that once you get the very top prospects in every draft they all have warts. The ideal prospects go very high.

I'm a UNC fan and seeing Flagg flop would be entertaining to me but burying the dude after one game seems a bit quick on the trigger.

I don't know why it wasn't included in the Goodfellas movie, but Henry Hill (played by Ray Liotta) and Jimmy Burke (Robert De Niro) ran a point shaving scheme with the Boston College basketball team in the late '70s.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm sure we would've squandered the picks.

Upgrade where you can, when you can. Reaching based on need doesn't help you.

That's the only place a game breaking can't miss player is available on any draft and yet some of them still bust.

Sanders looked like a guy who didn't belong in the league at first then improved then got hurt. I still don't know who he is as an NFL player but I haven't seen enough yet to count on him as anything more than camp competition long term. Tremble is a mediocre #2/solid #3. That's just what he is. That people are excited about Mitchell Evans and his 9 catches for 90 yards through 7 games kinda says everything about our TE group. Wanting to take TE off the board this off-season is bat poo crazy.

So you'd forego an opportunity to upgrade based on what you've seen? I wouldn't. I think these ideas of going into off seasons with clear plans on which positions to target usually end in reaches in the draft and overpaying in FA. Upgrade where you can when you can where it makes sense

To be determined. They haven't shown me enough to forego opportunities to potentially upgrade that's for sure. Right now I'd say they look like a group of 2/3s in need of a #1.

Early Romo was great. Dude was literally calling the play like 80% of the time. Really just hammered home how hard it is to trip up a veteran NFL QB.

I think the former players jump all in at first and blow minds because they're used to breaking down film from a player's perspective then they get lazy with it and just become another talking head. Except Brady. He just jumped in with his crazy contract and immediately just became another talking head.

Greg Olsen is the best announcer in the game. Straight up. Romo was the best on his early days but had started mailing it in in recent years. Greg's the best now

Bingo. Two rings and he played absolutely out of his mind in those two runs. It wasn't like he got carried to those rings. I get that he was inconsistent throughout his career but in those two SB runs he was HIM. Do I think he's a top level HOFer? Honestly, no. But I couldn't be mad about the guy getting in.

Yeah, just one of those complete head scratchers like WTF was THAT??? I'm not sold on Penix as a long-term starting QB yet, but he's normally a lot better than that. Dude looked like a guy signed off the couch who was gonna go right back to the couch. LOL

That and the Falcons just inexplicably shitting the bed. Not to say our defense had no part in that, but the Falcons definitely just flat out didn't show up that day and Penix in particular was god awful.

Saying the D is improved from last year is giving credit where credit is due. Our opponents are a combined 18-29-1. Our overall schedule has been very weak so far. It is what it is. I look forward to seeing how they can play against consistently better competition as the schedule ramps up.

They're certainly playing well albeit admittedly against weak competition so far. We'll see how it holds up as the schedule gets tougher. Either way, the defense is certainly improved from last year's mess.

What? You weren't thrilled with the Sione Fua/Terrell McClain combo?

This is why I think Brown might actually be the better of the two. The DL Jenkins played on was beastly. HOFer Peppers on one end, good starter Rucker on the other, and good starter Buckner was probably the weakest link. The opposing OL couldn't focus on Jenkins near as hard as they can on Brown.

The only thing that upsets me is that we didn't take the offer from the Rams.
