And that strategy has rarely ever worked. We will see what the Bucs look like next season once they get bounced from the playoffs.

Who said use 1st round picks on depth? I get that you guys are star struck over Watson but the reality is he alone cannot do it all. You need a complete team and brother this team is not complete, not even close.

Turn him away? Hell no! We can't afford him.

Kinda goes against the one player away philosophy don't it? That's called going all in for ONE shot at a SB title.

And when those few pieces get injured and the loses start piling up because you have no depth or heaven forbid your high priced big name qb that you traded away all your capital for building to acquire then what?

But we are more than a QB away. This team needs about a dozen starters and depth everywhere. You guys are drinking the Kool-Aid just because this team managed to not look like ass and win a couple of games.

Giving up so much for one player, no matter how great, on a rebuilding team is exactly the thinking that gets GMs fired. You are never one player away from a championship. It's the way fans think but not realistic for a team starting from the ground up. Despite what the homer's think around here this team is a long way from competing for the playoffs and giving up everything for Watson will not change that. It would cripple this team for years. Thank God there are smarter people running this team now.

Not me. I am in favor of staying put at 8 and play the hand we are dealt.

That's a tough call, they both are assholes. Push?

I assume this is your first?

Makes sense to me.

I lived in Greensboro through the mid 80's to early 90's and the same thing happened there over time. I knew every inch of Greensboro and where to go and where to keep your ass out of. I don't recognize the town now. Asheville is trending that way now. I'm just getting old man.

Sounds eerily similar to Asheville, NC. I moved here 20 years ago and it was much different then. It's gotten too crowded for me.

I'm considering selling my home later this year but fear it will be too late and will be stuck with this mortgage and no job. I have debated whether it would be money saved to just sell out and rent an apartment until my son gets out of college this fall. I'm saving a lot by him commuting to class from home. His younger brother may just have to delay college for a year and work construction. It will be a good motivator to get his ass thinking about his future. But yeah, I want to head west after I retire, if I get to. I want to own a ranch in Montana and marry a round American woman and raise rabbits.

That is the wise thing to do if you are living paycheck to paycheck, which the majority of us are. It will come in handy if you have to wait for an unemployment check.

I'm expecting salary dumps in every sector. I'm a prime candidate, senior exec 3 years from retirement eligibility with a salary in the range you would expect for my experience level. Easier to replace for half the cost.

It is eventually going to get a lot worse if something doesn't give soon. I may make it until the end of this month but after that who knows?

Sorry to hear that brother. Rumors are circulating that we will be furloughed in the coming weeks. It's only a matter of time before I will be joining you on the unemployment line.

You know those chairs can move right? And they can wear masks. It not that complicated.

Probably not but I wouldn't use it as a blanket statement without current numbers.

That's from 2008?

That's not exclusive to the South.

There's corruption all over government. That's just a fact of life sadly. You will see news today about the DOT shortfall blaming it on the Covid-19 outback. That is only a half truth. The real truth is it was circling the bowl long before this outbreak due to mismanagement from the former Secretary and his minions. That you will not hear them say. But I digress. Maybe for once our government will do something for the people instead of their friends.

I agree to an extent, but there's many more professions that benefit from infrastructure spending than construction. Construction is what you see at the end of the process. The vast majority is the white collar workers that make construction possible. That's the part the public doesn't see.
