  1. I won't be available to draft live on the 2nd, but that's what auto draft is for.
  2. The young players have been playing really good team baseball, but they're young and will need to find consistency. They just finished the first series in a tough two week stretch and may be on their way back to the pack. The future looks bright, though.
  3. Well, sure. And I'm certain that happens in all cases. The test is just one measurement.
  4. That's possible. When the NFL is nothing more than bad College football.... yeah. At that point I might find the XFL,or USFL more compelling, or maybe not. It's crossed my mind.
  5. IE: I don't mind a mobile QB, AT ALL I just DO NOT want a running QB.
  6. I agree with pretty much everything you said except for your moderate enthusiasm for AR. Personally, I want him to prove he can be a pass first (only?) QB by year 3, maybe 4. Otherwise I hope it's obvious, by then, that he doesn't belong, so there's no thought of a second contract.
  7. Some think you're already there. Unfortunately, there's no authority, nor salary. The good news it that there's also no responsibility.
  8. Yep, it means we're not taking any of them.
  9. I just wanted to let you all know that, out of self preservation, I won't be commenting in this thread. Thank you for your understanding.
  10. Time will tell, but I think we dodged a bullet with both of those guys. And, I believe Wentz was on Franks urging, and convincing Chris and Jim he could make it work out, and that led to his dismissal.
  11. Well, if by 'defend this FO as much as anyone' you mean I don't trash them at every turn, O.K., but know I don't because I don't pretend to know why every decision is made. BTW, you don't know either. THAT and I don't have control over every decision. BTW, you don't either. That said, actually, I ponder if I'm watching next year if we pick up Lamar or Richardson. I'll likely start out watching and see if it's as bad as I anticipate. Ravens fans got used to it, maybe I can also(?). Mahomes is great, but he has a LOT of supporting cast, as well. Allen is showing regression. Maybe it's because he doesn't have the supporting cast Mahomes does(?). Hurts? I don't count one year wonders. If he can do that at least a couple more years, I'll start buy in. Burrow's career will be short if they don't get him better protection, and they could use a better defense. And, I'm certain Ballard's comment was long before Luck's retirement, or injuries. I don't think he was being disingenuous, and I agree with him on that thought.
  12. Opinion stated as fact. I'd lose respect for him, not only because I DO NOT want Lamar, but Ballard stated very early on after his hiring, that the team should not be about one guy, and I agree with that, and brining in Lamar at the rumored desired contract demand is putting it about one guy. Now, that aside, how about we swap this years, and next years #1s with Kansas City, and gain a decade of #2s, or players to make up the difference. Then offer Lamar a contract the Ravens may not want in exchange for our next two #1s.
  13. Nope, just wanted to point out that you dismissed someone else's take on Lamar as speculation, but you're doing the same. You have one good year to base your defense of him to go on, but that has nothing to do with the future, and I see his successful record as being just as much to do with the team as his talents. Another mentioned he may be a top 6 - 7 QB in the league. I agree, but think that says more about the decline of the talent at the position in the league as opposed to his ability to play the QB position. I see him as a wildcat guy who's going to continue to get hurt, as is the case with most all, if not all, running QBs. Considering a running QB for a $2m fully guaranteed contract after is incredibly difficult for me to justify. Actually, I couldn't justify the 'guaranteed' part for pretty much anyone, at any job. Not at that rate.
  14. I'm convinced. Trade far enough back in the first to pick up a first next year. Trade some firsts to move up and get a QB next year and save 200m.
  15. Your view of what he's 'proven' is different than mine.
  16. The only thing that's confusing is the inability to understand that they keep this under consideration. There's a couple of options.
