    5-11 is ridiculous. That is saying we go 3-9 the rest of the way with a pretty easy schedule.

    Specifically what that I said do you disagree with, runpMc?

    Let some other team grab Penix. Then ya'all fools can have Penix envy.

    Okay, Tex, the last two sentences of your post were straight-up hilarious.

    Hasn't our schedule been dam easy up to this point ?

    I'm still thinking my iniitial prediction fo 7-10 is prettty close
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Honestly, all this "Penix" talk from people in here like it was something somehow weirdly sexual, I was wondering, was it some kind of porn thing or video game or "device" or whatever? So I Googled it and found nothing except this football player. Then suddenly, I looked down and realized ...... ya'all were just one letter away hahahahahahahaha.

    Generally I don't do this weird non-serious crap, but it's bye week, so what the hell.

    Coach Prime said he couldn’t see himself coaching in the NFL cos his sumptuous ego wouldn’t mash well with the sumptuous egos in the league. But everyone has a price, so we’ll see.

    The Sanders, much like Tony ODay, are pompous mofos. They think they shit gold and are winners in every walk of life.

    Love’s game ain’t inspiring but much respect to the dude for his humbleness. Still, the mission of every jock has always been pomp. Can’t be pomp if you ain’t winning, and winning ain’t everything, it’s the only fucking shit that matters, to paraphrase the famous hot-tempered Italian coach.

    Deion is a complete self-creation who was a decade ahead of his time in generating his own hype. I think he's an exceptional athlete who improves his skills and tactics and is a supportive teammate when the red light is off.

    But take anything he says or does in public with a big ol' salt lick.

    If Deion was speaking from the heart, then I think he's living in the past. There are a lot fewer walking soundbites than there were during his era. Kids These Days are a lot more risk-averse than when he was running picks into the endzone. Nowdays, it seems like everyone as a whole is still competitive, but less edgy and attention-seeking.
    I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.

    I see quite a few attention seekers in the NFL. Not sure which league you are watching. I have nothing against it, just pointing out it hasn’t gone away.

    Lots of great lyrics ain’t rhyme, like, Lennon’s “Across the Universe.” But if rhymes are what you seek, I have a tons of unpublished “Ted Is Trapped In The Closet” to post.

    Drafting a first round or near QB also would be stupid - many times QBs also don't pan out just because they were great in college, and because taking a QB early would be basically giving up on Love, which doesn't make sense as of this point based on the way he has played, and as was said, Clifford is a very adequate back up.

    It would be nice to have a star quality D Lineman, but they better be damn careful, as there seem to be a helluva lot more busts and mediocre ones than stars among first round D Line picks.

    We're about full up in quality OLBs and Corners and WRs and TEs.

    I've always hated the idea of a first round RB, but this might be the year considering need and what's available in the draft.

    ILB is another position I've never like drafting early, but Campbell seems washed up and Quay would be a lot better with a matched pair or somebody even better than him.

    Safety too is something we need, but it's a crap shoot taking one early, as college quality doesn't often translate.

    That about covers every position. I guess I'd go with one of those last three, RB, ILB, or S, but they better be damn careful not to guess wrong and waste the pick.
    You would be spot on except that every single data point historically negates your point. Starting LT is the highest average draft capital spent outside of QB. We don't currently have a great LT. Although I think moving Jenkins to LT can word very well, drafting one if available makes all the sense in the world.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    I say again, a LOT of high drafted O linemen turn out to be busts or at least disappointing.

    1989 draft supports your theory...

    A lot of high drafted players turn out to be busts or at least disappointing.

    If you go through the starting tackles in the league, the vast majority of them are R1 picks. That's not a coincidence. Nor is it a coincidence that next to QB, a good LT is considered one of your most valuble players on offense. The contracts they get even reflect that.
    Go back and look at who made All-Pro. All-Pro is determined by people who know, not fans, so it's the real deal.

    There are a few outliers (Terron Armstead, Mitchell Schwartz, and.... David Bakhtiari) but the vast majority of the All-Pro OT's are not just R1 picks, but top 10 R1 picks.

    In other words, you are incorrect in saying drafting OL early is never good. There is plenty of proof to back that up.
