I think the biggest problem was the fact that they didn't know if it would make landfall as a cat 3 or not. It was either going to get big between FL and NC or it was going to start to diminish in strength. They said wtf and called for a larger storm.

some of the death's here were more stupidity related than hurricane related. a co-worker told me this morning that one was a guy who decided to go swimming in the cape fear during the storm. another was considered hurricane related but it was really more medical. the guy had a heart attack while boarding up his house.

Oh yeah... people that live in low lying areas or flood prone areas should always be prepared even for small storms. My problem is that the media so overblew this storm that was supposed to affect "30 million people" and all that do the public a disservice by spreading that type of hype and over-dramatization.

I agree that the media did over do it a bit, but humans have a "pics or it didn't happen" mentality. Better be to safe than sorry, just imagine if more people had stayed in certain ares and had been killed because they were not told to leave? I don't really have a with the media coverage or the Government precautions.

      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.
