wow.

When I 1st opened this page i thought it was gonna be a joke.. Something along the lines that was like electro bet saintJ or BDiG that he would ban himself from this site of the Saints won...but I didn't expect to read that a fellow huddler died. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Although i never met the guy I know we posted in many of the same forums and he made some funny comments that made me laugh..

If there is a silver lining at all in this situation its that Ive realized the strong brotherhood among the people on the huddle wither it be from meeting at a tailgate or just exchanging jabs or sharing similar views over the forums, it makes me appreciate this site and the people on it even more...

But here is an Idea i propose and if its already been said then my bad i must have overlooked it.. But I would to see a Mod Or Admin start up a pay-pal account so us huddles can make a donation and get a flower arrangement sent up on the behalf of us who woundt be able to attend the service... I think an arrangement of black,blue and white flowers from us at the huddle would be something we could do to show our respects..

My God...this is terrible; like JR said, it's funny how you can never meet a guy in person and still feel you know him. And I really think we all got to know Clifton, in some way, even if only through the stuff he posted on the Huddle--like someone else said it just shows what kind of community we have here.

RIP man.

i like that idea- with me being in alaska its hard for me to do anything, but i would love to help with something like that...

Me too...unemployment be damned. I may drive down for the funeral depending on what day it is and what the weather has in store for the area between me and NC.

Just had me a shot of Barrel #1 Jack Daniels for my friend, Clifton...

Shinner, sorry to hear about your son's friend. Truly a sad day.

My relationship with Electro was the same as it is with most folks on here, internet only. A few have met me in person, but most haven't. He and I had posted back and forth here, agreed on some things, disagreed on others.

Still, as someone else said, there are real people behind the screen names, avatars and signatures here. And who knows what their individual situations are? Someone on here might be riding high with joy or they could be down in the depths of sadness. Unless you know them beyond this format, it's hard to tell. Regardless, it's worth keeping in mind when you talk to them that they are real people, and they deserve to be treated with respect.

In the end, a person with whom I communicated but whom I never met has died. Despite that lack of a personal meeting, I grieve for him and will pray for his family and friends.

damn Shinner...that sucks...sorry to hear it

Shinner, sorry to hear about your son's friend. Truly a sad day.

Thanks guys....this is the 2nd friend of his to be killed in a vehicle accident in the past year. Both came from the same high school. That school seems to have some aura of death around it. They had a couple kids die the previous year and also a teacher died while chaperoning a class trip to Ireland/England/Scotland.

Clif wanted to come up to AK this summer and do some fishing.

I told him to come up in March and we could ride snow machines, he said he would rather be here when its warm lol lol

Should raise the driving age to 18, or at least not allow them to drive under certain weather conditions. Hope your son is doing OK.

Guessing he was 17 or 18 as they're Seniors....I'm thinking it was definitely more of a lack of experience in this sort of weather kinda thing.

Son seems to be ok....he did say he was tired of all his friends dying. Been in his room playing his guitar and playing Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" (nothing new, he's been on a PF jag for weeks now).

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
