just some more unreasonable dancing here... and to that i say...

if we don't dance now, when can we? if this whole thing flops, at least i had this summer of hope and optimism. i've had years of hopelessness and apathy. Why the hell wouldn't anyone want to take a chance on this and feel good about it all?

we've been in the doldrums for maybe 8 years and this is the first year i think we've actually had an inkling of a reason to be excited and optimistic. i think i'm not alone in being tired of the doldrums and i'm not turning back. not until i'm proved that my optimism is misplaced. i'm going to enjoy this feeling good as long as i can and i'm going to milk it for everything it might have.

"i never said you couldn't be foolish, unreasonable, and immature! quit putting words in my mouth!"

it's a shame there's some among even our fanbase that can't see this.

still trying to find out why you feel it necessary to go and tell everyone that they shouldn't have rose-colored glasses? what is the harm in that?

@KSpan , when you are saying that these excited fans are being "unreasonable" and "unrealistic" or whatever...that is kind of demeaning. and it's hopes that we have, dammit. no one is saying that it's guaranteed. what kind of foolishness is that? We can see it happening. That's what we're hoping for. We feel good about it. ahhh never mind. go back ahead and consider yourself one of a small group of reasonable rational and reserved grownups in here. you win. please continue to tell us how we shouldn't be excited and maybe, just maybe we'll be as grown up in our fandom as you.

I didn't say anything about giving out your "tempered" opinion on Young or whatever. I mean don't expect people to not be pissed at those "tempered", "reasonable", and "reserved" opinions getting thrown into every discussion between "unreasonable" fans who are, again, excited about Young. And also again, who the fug cares if we are so excited? It may not make sense to you, but...newsflash...it doesn't have to. You all hold a very unpopular and even unwanted opinion about Young, so don't expect it to be received any better than you all might receive our brazen excitement and constant glowing and beaming about our new QB. btw, i guess according to you we're all unreasonable and just not thinking rationally and logically...kind of an insult there, but hey, we're fans which is short for fanatic so i'm not sure what you expect. We're excited about this QB. We're excited about this coaching staff. If you don't want to get pooed on for voicing a very unpopular opinion among those of us who are really excited, then like i said. Stay in the car while we party. if you are fine catching poo for trying to burst our bubble, then have at it. Just don't say you weren't warned that it would happen.

over the top according to who, exactly? Is there some board that decides what is acceptable excitement for a rookie? If we want to crown his ass, we'll crown it.... without anyone's approval, thank you. and those who bring a "reserved, non-trolling" viewpoint, they feel it necessary to tell others to tap the brakes or whatever. To that i say, what business it of yours to tell others to not be so excited? that it's unreasonable to be so excited about a rookie. for the first time in quite a few years most fans are legit excited about what we just got as far as a new awesome coaching staff and a new stud rookie QB (yes, all excited opinions held by many excited fans)...why the hell is that a problem? is it too early for you and a few other "reasonable" fans? who the fug cares? who is telling you all to get excited or how to be a good fan? No. Body. If they/we are just setting ourselves up for disappointment, again, why does that matter to any of the "reserved" and "reasonable" fans? We'll live. We'll bitch, but we'll live. But for the moment, we're jizzed, and that's totally fine. Again, no one is telling any of you "reserved" and "reasonable" fans how to be fan, but I see pity coming towards you "reserved" and "reasonable" fans for not being excited and missing out on a great moment to actually celebrate the future of the franchise. if you "reserved" and "reasonable" fans don't want to join the party, you don't have to. Just stay out in the car and let the kids have their damn fun.

And that's absolutely 100% ok and completely understandable. It's totally appropriate to feel like that.

Seriously? All he ever posts in here is negative poo about either Young or fans who are excited about him, which that absolutely was. Seems like posters like @CPcavedwellerare the sensitive ones having a cow over actual fans being excited over the our new QB who is impressing the hell out of everyone except for a few of you. I seriously don't see why any of you feel necessary to try and tell anydamnbody to not be excited and settle down. And yes, this kind of poo is seriously pissing me off. At least you contribute to other conversations in here. People like who I was responding to only seem to interject anything at all in here when it's about Young either criticizing the pick or people excited about him and at this point it's just being a negative ass troll.

Couldn't be anymore different.

Seriously just shut the fug up, troll.

this needs to be happening. seriously.

there's a lot to like about all the FA pick ups this year. Shy is going to be a huge ass asset there in the middle of the line. should be a big year for Brown. i'm just hoping that we see more action like this, though...

It took a while but i got it. Haha

And amen.

they are playing up that '2 first round picks' part too much making it sound like they got more than what they did. it wasn't that. they swapped a 1st overall for a 9th overall. and then they got a 2nd. and then they got another 1st next year and a second the year after that. and they got a above average WR. meanwhile we got a guy who is going to make this team one of the best in the league for years and win us multiple superbowls.

btw...for anyone who isn't on the Young bandwagon yet (and i do mean 'yet' because it's going to happen) i'll save a spot for you

what you call a ban i call a vacation.

the mental part of the game will get you further than the physical part of it. the good thing is that i think bryce has plenty of the physical part of it. sure he's not the physical specimen that cam was, but he's still plenty mobile.

actually @poundaway is the one who found it and posted it in the OTAs thread. But i agree. it was a good find.

agreed with all of that. I'm not a huge Mac Jones fan. I think the guy is a bit of a putz, but aside from that he is smart but was put in a really crappy situation with Belichek and the pats. Best thing would have been for him to get traded somewhere else. Second best thing that could have happened for him did happen... the pats got a good OC for him (Bill O'Brien).
