If you threw parties with the logic of fantasy football you'd find yourself at Igo's eating vegan food and drinking non-alcoholic beer.

I couldn't care less about fantasy football. Any system that makes the least valuable position on the field the most valuable position in their algorithm is dumb and should cease to exist or at minimum be heavily revamped.

I don't care so much about the actual stat line. Just show me something to get excited about.

You got that DeLorean up to 88mph? How else did you make time go backwards?

DJ Johnson is the type of pick the Dolphins or Rams or Eagles can make. High athletic ceiling but the floor is the basement. Then again, they are where they are by not making dumb picks. If you're going to take a guy basically solely on athletic upside, make sure he's no in his mid-20s already. DJ Johnson is basically the same age as Brian Burns who is entering his 5th NFL season. There's only an 18 month difference. Marinate on that. That's not the type of "upside" pick you want to gamble on.

I'm just waiting for the Scooby Doo moment wen Sir Purr rips off the Fitterer mask to reveal that it was actually Marty Hurney the entire time.

What is most depresso g is that we've been at our absolute worst since Tepper started to "put his stamp on the football side of the house" after focusing on the business side first. The stamp:

Dude talked a BIG game about what all he was gonna do. Meanwhile, he tied those brass balls around our neck and tossed us into the deep end of the pool.

Okay, Michael Vick never got ran down from behind by NFL DEs except for that one time by a complete freak of a 1st ballot HOFer. Practically every time Bryce has tried the run around to buy some time act that he lived on at Bama he's gotten caught.

Michael Vick past his prime never got ran down from behind by NFL DEs.

Most of us weren't expecting to win a SB this year and we'll be plenty happy if we just see reason to believe that we've solved the QB problem.

"In on every deal" is starting to look more like "call that sucker in Carolina".

When you're 0-3 and pretty much look like poo a 3rd round rookie is pretty far down the list of concerns. Especially when your #1 overall pick has looked mediocre and is out with injury. All the focus is on Bryce right now, which we all knew it would be for better or worse.

The word was that his visit went terribly and he rubbed everyone the wrong way. Maybe he just didn't want to be here.

Fitts is more and more looking like Hurney 2.0. I haven't seen much to be impressed with.

The guy is a 25 year old rookie who bounced around the roster in college with his coaches trying to find a spot to make use of his athletic talents. It was always a baffling pick to me and a pick they forced IMO. Seemed like they were hell-bent on drafting an edge rusher relatively early and panicked when they started flying off the board. I said as much when the pick was made.

Well,this ran it's course. Now we just have people spending time on the Huddle bitching about how awful the Huddle is. That makes a lot of sense.

We'll see how he progresses over the course of the season. My primary concern is that so far it looks like both of my concerns about Bryce pre-draft were valid. Those concerns being how his physical tools would translate to the NFL (mobility and arm) and durability. Through two games we've seen him not be able to escape, his arm look below average, and missed a game. I'm just not convinced that his mind is going to be able to overcome the physical deficits but it's still very early and we'll see.

We're a dumpster fire but is Houston really any better of a landing spot?

No disagreement there but giving up 14 QB pressures is just unreal for an individual OL.

PFF game him a 0 pass blocking grade against the Seahawks. He gave up 14 QB pressures. FOURTEEN.

I was really hoping that Tepper was going to occupy himself with the business side of the house.

I don't know, they've pretty much never had a legit top tier QB in their looooong franchise history. Probably not much they wouldn't give up to secure one and so far CJ has looked the part. No one would care that we're 0-3 of Bryce was playing like that. Then again, we wouldn't be 0-3 if that was the case.

We didn't have the 49ers roster either. DJ is the equivalent of a 1st. Two 2nds are about the equivalent of a 1st. We gave up about four 1st rounders worth of value. Definitely not peanuts and yeah, if Bryce doesn't work out we're gonna feel it for awhile.

If Bryce doesn't work out the dinners need to stop. We ended up with Matt Rhule because of Hurney shoveling meatballs down his throat.
