haha wrap it up.

still not sure about that whole corbett to center thing. we have to draft a guy.

yeah i almost feel bad for him and his wife because they worked so hard to become a part of the community down here. oh well...moving on.

sometimes a good thing is just a good thing. it's a good thing that happened. let it be just a good thing that happened. you know, until/unless it turns out to not be one. but just focus on the idea that this might just be a good thing for us and be glad it did. it's ok to enjoy things like this from time to time.

i like it too. much needed.

lol you'll be ok.

i mean he could be. i don't know. i do think that the injury thing is overblown, though. that's not a concern i have. doesn't seem like anything he was dealing with would be long term issues.

he could choose worse mentors. andy reid could benefit from canales some as well...but more as a personal trainer than anything.

yeah, as good and as deep as this class is, there's going to be first level talent falling all through the second round...especially in the WR ranks.

yeah i basically think of him as another thielen. quickest and easiest comparison.

one thing that made matters worse was that we weren't just bad at developing talent, identifying talent, opting for athleticism over positional talent and drive...we actually thought each year we were ready to contend with just a few vet additions. we thought we were only a pick or two away from being really good. Once rhule got here and we started losing what dawgs we had here we needed a rebuild. there has not been a long range vision for the team in a long time, i mean aside from rhule's "7 year plan" to change the culture, which he did in one year by completely destroying what culture we had. they finally realize they are starting essentially from ground zero, especially on offense, and are acting accordingly, and are realizing that you build through the draft and fill holes through FA.

i hope he wasn't. should be a much better situation for him this year (w/ improved coaching and scheme and overall passing game), but he's probably going to have a lot more competition for targets, which he should. he just needs to be a threat to catch the ball when it comes his way and make some good positive yardage. use them muscles.

whole bunch of nothing here. i just hate that i spent any time watching macafee. i swear that show kills IQ points.

i don't think he'll be unreasonable and he has demonstrated his worth far more than burns. i have no doubt that this will be a top priority, but it's nothing that needs done right now. as long as they are having good discussions and are in the same ballpark i think we are good. with burns, i don't think we were ever on the same continent with him.

now as to why ladd is highly regarded...i think it's just because he's quick and a safe option to throw to. he's seen as a reliable option for any QB. nothing particularly dynamic about him other than that. actually he just seems like a good boring but reliable WR. won't get much as far as TDs and probably won't produce much in the way of highlight reels, but between the 40s he'll be solid. i kind of think that he might be hyped a little too much, but i wouldn't hate it. he can get open, get some separation, and catch passes. we kind of need that. i wouldn't be content with him being the only WR we take in the first 4 picks, though. get someone like Leggette or some other big X receiver who can also high point balls and give us a red zone threat. mingo has the potential to be that...but i'm not going to bank on that or use him as an excuse to not get another X receiver. we just need guys with reliable hands who can either get open or fight for the ball and win. gimme two or three this draft and i wouldn't hate a big TE getting added, either.

@csx @TheSpecialJuan csx i hope that was an accidental typo and i'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but if it wasn't and for the special kid and for anyone else...don't even start with the race poo or you will get some time off.

i like coleman, but i wish we had double dipped earlier to get a better all around or slot guy. i like van pran. overall ehhhh....

i can appreciate all of that and that they aren't making panic decisions. they want to win this year, but they aren't willing to sacrifice long term plans to make that happen. cost of some players that could help us win this year could affect us being able to acquire some long term answers.

seemed like a good idea at the time.

ouch. true. i just don't see rodgers as being beloved enough to pull that off, but i guess it could happen. but think about this...rodgers is 2 years older than favre was when the jets went this route with him. more just an interesting bit of trivia than anything, but still...jets.

oh i know. it's just very rare that this ever works out. i mean we saw it with brady and the bucs, but that was as much a unicorn as drafting a 6th round scrawny QB and him taking you to 9 superbowls and winning 6 of them.
