i think of my role as the equivalent of a psych ward janitor.

good riddance.

solid perspective.

yep. said it before richardson was drafted and while there was so much hype going on calling him the best prospect since adrian peterson. who was right? i'd have a hard time arguing against brown.

bant for spamming.

i feel the same way...that we aren't done at receiver. but then i remember feeling the same way about OT pretty much all offseason last year.

didn't read the whole thread and i'm not likely to, but hardy wasn't exactly disciplined. he was basically given a $13mil paid vacation with no responsibilities. How the hell is that being disciplined?

i still think he's too obsessed with the DL. that's my only criticism.

my typical and prefered breakfast. monday-friday...scrambled eggs and non-link sausage (either venison or pork) or bacon. saturday and sunday...see above and add grits and maybe a pancake or two and maybe substitute the sausage or bacon with a pork chop. really chicken and pigs provide all the breakfast i need or really want. add in a half a cow, a couple deer, and my garden and i'm pretty much set for the year.

let him be someone else's headache.

i love the offseason.

you make a lot of threads.

birth of a child, esp. your first >>>>>>> anything else. you don't miss it unless forced to by being on duty in the military or something like that. and football is not the military nor is it something nearly as important.

i would love for us to go into training camp with the OL already set and the starters spend the whole time getting reps together with cam. we waste so much time having competition for starting spots on the OL every year (going back into the fox era) and that usually results in the OL taking several weeks into the regular season for them to gel. crap.....last year or two we've still been trying to figure out who the starters are going to be several weeks into the season. the interior is set heading into the future and RT might be as well. imo, we don't need to screw around with anything there. just build on what chemistry was there and let them use the experience of this past season as a foundation for the 2015 season. hopefully we add the LT early in the offseason via FA or the draft so we can even let them start getting reps together in mini camps. we can't start early enough building that chemistry, imo.

it would be nice to have someone with some actual experience returning punts prior to playing with the panthers.

wow.

keep your poo in the smack thread.

move your little show to the smack thread.

nope. we just think the buc fanbase is close to non-existant and/or just weak.

that's kind of embarrassing. i wonder how many free tickets the glazers gave away to make that rise happen?

i didn't know about about JC. that makes me sad. even sadder to find out that it happened last year and i didn't know. the guy was an icon. i'll still go to the beacon, but i agree a lot of the appeal of that place was JC taking your order and watching newbs get nervous or stammer and be told to step aside. the whole operation there is still pretty impressive and the food has always been good (even if it causes a blow out within a couple hours), but losing JC definitely takes something away from the experience.

i think a large part of it was the amount of time he took off to recover from pretty serious injuries. kind of restating and expounding on the OP... he only played 2 games at oregon before getting hurt, but that was after 2 years at a junior college. he got hurt in 2011 and the only thing he had done since then before we picked him up was playing basketball in 2012 at portland bible college. he was what you'd call rusty and didn't really come with a whole lot of experience. in high school he played basketball and didn't play football until his senior year and he played defensive end. so in addition to being rusty, he was very raw as a player when he got here as well. he's the very definition of and pretty much the ideal prospect, imo. i don't know what kind of catch radius he has, but i remember reading an article about him where he was asked how high he can jump and he said he had a picture and pulled out his phone and showed a pic of him dunking and his elbow was even with the rim. the dude fits the prototype of the modern pass catching TE.

could be, but we're gambling in an area that i don't think we should be. it's waaayyy too important a role to be doing that. i'd feel better about chander giving it a try if we had someone reliable on the other side. we don't. we have another gamble on the other side...that either bell will be a better LT than RT or that he won't suck at RT like he did last year. he says he loves his hog mollies and he leads us to believe that the trenches are important to him, but when you are looking at bell and chandler as your OTs, you don't get a sense that he really believes it. i think he does on the DL, but the OL is of a secondary concern to him, esp. the outside. i like gettleman and i trust most of what he does, but when it comes to OT and what he's doing....meh. he's got to prove it there and i just don't see it happening. what's funny is that so many people in here were saying, "just wait. gettleman will pick someone up to play OT. he's really not going to go with those two this year." the thing is, i think we're stuck with this little experiment. i think they are going to play it through with bell and chandler as the OTs and it's going to bite us in the ass. i would love to be wrong about it. i just have to be proven wrong and we'll have to wait until the season plays out to see who was right.

what would you rather have, your finger slammed in a car door or banged on by a hammer?
