Oh, I get it. It gets a lot worse than CO too. That $700k in Evergreen, CO is $1M in Seattle. $2M+ in San Francisco.

Yeah, understood. My point is that if it was anywhere near as aggressive those prices wouldn't be so low. $300k in Charlotte is $700k+ in the town I bailed from in CO.

It's not. Yeah, Charlotte is experiencing a nice uptick but it's insane out west. If it was anywhere near as aggressive in Charlotte then the price points wouldn't be so much lower.

Sometimes.

What's going to bust the Denver bubble IMO is people realizing that the days of being able to feasibly take day/weekend trips to the mountains are basically over. Everyone moves out there for the mountain access. Without that, Denver is just another city with nothing to justify the rapidly becoming insane cost of living.

Yep, you hit the nail on the head. Purgatory is the worst case scenario. At the end of the season we're left pretty sure Darnold isn't the answer and way too far down the draft order to have any shot at a Howell or Rattler. Better hope some other QB prospects emerge.

It's time to see what we have, not give up future assets. It's feasible that we go into next off-season still needing a QB and a LT. As we well know, those don't exactly grow on trees.

Fair has nothing to do with it. You just get off on authority figures. You have a bizarre complex. Seek help.

I would hope his play last year wouldn't have his spot locked up. He was okay but I would expect that spot to be a competition.

I think we're high on potential but we're light on proven NFL performance. We'll see how it works out.

If Moton would just say "Yeah, I'm down for that." I think he would've already been announced as the LT. I think the staff thinks he can play LT and now it's about convincing Moton that he can play LT.

What came out of his mouth first matters. I think Rhule kinda realized he said something a little too specific and then said they think he can play on the left too and that he could make an excellent guard, but when asked his initial comment was pretty strong. "We think he's a right tackle." And he indicated that they'd primarily been playing him there.

This is exactly what Rhule said: "We think he's a right tackle. He certainly has the ability to be on the left but I think most of us would like to have more length over on the left side. So, he's playing right tackle but I think he can be a guy that can go inside and be an excellent guard. I've been really pleased with him and his ability to play tackle. When we drafted him we thought, hey, there's a guy that's going to find a place to play and I feel good about him out there. I wouldn't say he would never go to the left side but we put him there and feel really good about his growth there."

Some of it is somewhat outdated positional prototypes. The LE playing over the RT was usually more a power rusher/run stopper type where as the RE was the speed rusher pass specialist to attack the QB from the blind side. As the NFL has become more and more pass happy, they're all pass rushers now. If you're playing on the edge in today's NFL, you HAVE to be able to effect the QB. You're practically useless if you can't. Also, somewhat of an outdated norm is that the TE typically lined up off the RT, so he had help to deal with speed off the edge so arm length was less of a necessity for RTs. The TE is basically a move position in today's NFL as likely to be split out wide, lining up on the left, or lining up in the backfield as he is to be off the RT. There really isn't much of a "strong" side anymore in today's spread formations. The priority on LT in today's NFL really just boils down to that's a right handed QB's blindside. He can simply see pressure coming from his right side better, so put your best pass protector at LT.

I think Christensen will be a good player, I'm just not sure where. Rhule has said repeatedly that he thinks he's a RT. We just signed Moton long-term to huge money. The tea leaves IMO point toward trying to convince Moton to move to LT and plugging Christensen in at RT. It's a lot easier to find serviceable interior OL than it is to find serviceable OTs. If we could solve both OT positions long-term with a rookie draft pick and a vet with a long-term contract that would go a loooooooong ways toward solving our OL problems.

I think it's possible. Improved coverage could potentially help a lot. Everyone focuses on how much a pass rush helps a secondary but the reverse is true as well.

He's the one guy rooting for Judge Smails while watching Caddyshack.

WFT or bust. The Rivera/Hurney combo has always been his only hope of making a final roster.

Your logic is very one sided. It's fine for the team to exercise their leverage, but the player is juvenile to exercise his. A psychologist would have a field day with you. Enjoy your day of caddying.

Seems likely. When there are multiple players unhappy something is usually amiss in the organization or within the locker room.

What other team has multiple key players voicing displeasure? Sure, there are always some vets angling for new deals or otherwise expression displeasure across the league every year, but when there are multiple key players on one team something is probably up.

It should be. We have more questions than answers right now. The depth chart will be throughout the preseason as we try to find our best five and our roster will likely be fluid as other teams start to make cuts. There's probably at least one OL that is on our final roster that is starting camp somewhere else today.

So if the team offers a player say a five year contract, I want to see you howling like crazy when the player is cut after three years because the team did not fulfill their end of the bargain. Teams have the ability to terminate contracts. Players have the ability to utilize the media and threaten holdouts. That's the way this works.

An acknowledgement that the only avenue a player has is to utilize whatever leverage he may hold. The team will always hold the leverage of being able to terminate the contract. Barking to the media, threatening to hold out, actually holding out, up and retiring like Barry Sanders or Calvin Johnson. That's the only real leverage a player holds yet you act like they've committed this grave dishonor by actually utilizing any of that leverage.

What are the sources on those reports? Anything credible? Not being an ass, legit question.
