going into a season expecting your team to fail sucks. honestly i don't see why you'd bother with it at all. seems pretty miserable. i know i was that way with rhule and i was about ready to call it quits because life is too short to try and be a fan of a team that you have no faith in at all. seriously i just don't see what the point is in staying a fan. life's too short to spend emotional energy on being a fan of a team that you thought was just horrible. i'll tell you this...i'd much rather have my hopes up and have them dashed again than have no hope for the team whatsoever.

with the exception of a few, they can't look over. better yet, they don't. that's just something that they don't do. i was watching David Carr talking about Young and that was something that he was bringing out, QBs don't look over the top of the OL. they look through them, they all pick their lanes to scan the field and pick their targets.

NFCCG next year. playoffs this year...and not one and done, either. that's where i have the bar. but even if it's just a winning record, that's a win for me and trending in the right direction. we almost made it last year with a fugged up coaching situation and an even more messed up QB situation. the team was a mess, and we almost pulled off a playoff spot and weren't too far from a winning record. we are much better off this year than at the the end of last year. no reason to think that we won't be better this year.

thanks for the concern. go be miserable by yourself. don't try to drag others into whatever puddle of mud you're stuck in.

For many years playing fantasy football, there would be this question when you were looking for options at WR..."who is Tom Brady's favorite target?" For other QBs, it would be a pretty straightforward answer. For Tom Brady, the correct answer was 'the open guy'. I think the same thing will be true with Young. We might not have a true #1 stud receiver, but we might not need one. I imagine we'll be spreading the ball around a lot. He won't be targeting just one or two consistently. He'll be targeting whoever is in the best position to move the ball forward at any given moment during the play.

i can't remember his original account, but he's the numerology guy. he usually posts for a while before he starts spouting all that stuff. didn't get around to it this time in time. he's been known as @Peanut Butter @Aquemini and a lot of other ones. he's one of the most persistent ones we've had in a couple years.

lol bye again. you'll probably hit 60 accounts by the time the season starts.

will anderson vs bryce young would also make it interesting.

that actually could very well be the matchup. makes sense. almost too perfect. primetime game maybe? would be a home game for us as well.

dude is going to be really fun to watch. probably the most fun i have watching highlight vids of about any player beside BY. dude is straight up fierce and he's going to piss a lot of people off. he doesn't just knock people down or take them down, he tears them down. and then he just walks away shaking his head.

dude is eager to get to work. and get paid.

I'll go with that.

Average height for an Olineman is 6'5 . How tall do you have to be to see over the OL? How many QBs are capable of doing that? QBs don't look over the OL. They all look through them. They all choose their lanes to look through.

Assigned parking spots for players

As many or as few as anyone else. Until it's a demonstrable problem it's not a problem. Not anymore than it is for any other QB.

You watch his career highlights and watch what happens after he gets the ball out.....he takes big hits, just like everyone else. That very first play where the snap is bad, he gets that ball out and takes a headshot. The last week or two, that's what I've been focusing on, him getting hit after he gets the ball out and he gets hit just like every other QB and just as hard as every QB. And you know what? He gets up. Every. Damn. Time. And you know what he does every time gets back up? He makes magic happen. Again. Y'all act like he's some fragile piece of glass, but if he was, he would have already been broken. He's tough and he's as durable as any other QB coming into the league. He's got the same capacity to get injured as any other QB, no more or less. I'm just not going to worry about it. I'm just going to sit back every week and watch him work his juju and enjoy the wins.

True. For the first few years there was this debate about where they should put him, safety or OLB...and the argument would be he's not a prototypical safety, too big, but he's too smsll for LB. Very much considered tweener before that was a thing.

dude's got a temper on him. i like it

look up "star position" it's a hybrid DB/OLB that has the freedom to roam and look for opportunities to disrupt. they can line up anywhere based on what they see the offense doing. Jalen Ramsey played this role with the Rams and this is something that Evero became familiar with in LA and i think he utilized in Denver. just something to think about, because that is what Evero might have in mind for Chinn.

he's more than a scapegoat and there is plenty of information out about the amount of control he had, and it wasn't control Fitt gave to him. Fitt walked into a situation where the coach had been given too much control. it was eventually rectified, but not after a lot of really poor choices had been made. it was Tepper (still green to the job of owning a football franchise) and hurney (who sucked as a GM) that gave rhule that control.

he had a very limited pool to choose from as far as players and coaches and only went with whatever and whoever he was familiar with.

this was at a time that rhule had control of the roster (which was a REALLY bad idea). Darnold was the only option for a QB that rhule had any knowledge of and that was only because he interviewed there.
