Hall Of Famer

Hall Of Famer (5/5)

  1. Is it true that the Titans are "out" on Rome Odunze... why? They don't ever seem to be linked to him. He seems to be what Corey Davis was supposed to be.
  2. Seems like I can recall a lot of "prospects" who tested well athletically but could not make an impact on the football field. Tom Brady, for example.
  3. Nice to see some intellect asserted instead of obstinance...
  4. This is what it's all about: FUN (there's that word...) There is that nagging thing that Callahan said about a priority being placed on scorers. With Ridley, we may have taken care of that. Who knows? Nobody but Ran and Callahan probably and they may be dithering about it. Good arguments can be made both ways.
  5. Almost a Marcus Lemonis trifecta; I think "people" are in there somewhere.
  6. That changes if it's a QB they want and can get.
  7. My GMing career was launched by a journalism internship with the Oilers back in their Houston days.....
  8. Of key importance is that almost nobody thought Brady would be any good (forget approaching Manning) whereas everyone thinks Bowers will be a great and immediate contributor.
  9. Facts make no sense to oldschool? I pointed out that BOTH the Chiefs and the Niners reached the Super Bowl with top contributors at your key positions (QB, WR, CB, OT) who were not taken at the very top of the draft. Mahomes being the outlier of course. Then some of the key players that helped these team get to the Super Bowl (Niners in particular) played positions you deemed less important: Christian McCaffrey (RB), George Kittle (TE), and Fred Warner (ILB) for example. Brock Purdy as Mr. Irrelevant is a cherry on the top. The disaster of Lance is just part of the puzzle so don't try to use him as a distraction. In no way was he my focus so you are being highly disingenuous there. Can you deny that the Niners made the Super Bowl despite 6 of the 9 first round picks in the past 7 years have not participated in the recent successful Niner seasons. Is that a deliberate strategy?!!! The dominant Niner contributors played positions you say the de-value; seems like they are succeeding in spite of themselves. What do you think you are defending? Maybe Shanahan is that good to make up for that deficiency. Can you disprove that or do you just insist on making self-serving empty proclamations?! Address that fact rather than making ad hominem attacks and self-declaring victory in a vain attempt to end the discussion by not participating.
  10. Address my points rather than chicken-shit smiley faces... LOL.
  11. Their draft history was about as bad as J-Rob's.... LOL. Talk about their failed draft strategy all you want; I was talking about with whom and how their Super Bowl team was constructed ... in actuality that nearly won them the game. This is far more important than their failed theory of drafting... which as YOU accidentally pointed out backfired on them bigtime. 3 contributors out of 9 Round One picks in 7 drafts calls for a new strategy! Still can't fathom how you thought that proved anything other than bad drafting. Keep deluding yourself by moving the goalposts...
  12. Whatever, oldfart.... Did I ever tell you the one about the stupidity of J-Rob to give away three premium picks to move up a handful of spots to get Jack Conklin? He's not even a LT; he's a rightie. The Chiefs got Mahomes for about as much, but moved up 15 spots in Round One. Makes you wanna cry. What you call stupid was right-on at the time it happened and has never dulled in its accuracy. Yeah, I know you don't like being reminded, but that is different altogether....
