I was watching the draft with a Bengals fan tonight. He feels sorry for me. This isn't even entirely about Mallet. If they didn't want him, fine. But don't sacrifice the majority of our remaining picks to take a mediocre mid tier blah ****ing blah RB. If any of you think this play it safe regime with their limp dick picks is ever going to build a team that can even sniff the playoffs I want some of what you're sniffing. I hate to say it but the best thing we can hope for is a disaster season in 2011. I've never been that type of fan, but our ceiling is another 6-10, 7-9 season and that won't bring the changes this franchise needs. A fist pumping play for field goals cheerleader of a coach + 2nd from dead ****ing last offensive coordinator + struggling QB + ***** draft picks + Ireland = ***** = ginger = ****head _________________________ = clean house + Andrew Luck + Bill Cowher BTW, I'm half cocked so this thread is posted in the rants forum where it belongs. Smell.
Gotta agree at least that its A$$backward with drafting RBs higher and QBs lower.....Unreal. No team (pats luck aside) can win like that!!
Patrots JUST did that very thing, they took Vereen and Ridley then took Mallett. Running game needed fixing, what more can be said?
True, we have what we have, now you know I think Irish does a solid solid job finding UDFA's who can contribute, that is one of the reasons why I like this draft so far but do think we need a passrushing specialist like Carter or Acho and ST help, otherwise I spent the offseason pointing out how far the running game fell and they are addressing it..how can I complain to loudly? Will say I'd have liked it if they sniffed CFL running back Corey Boyd, but it is what it is.
Dude your are the "King of the Diggers" Were you anticipating Robert Quinn last night like I was before he was taken before us. Twenty year old kid on the other side of Wake and move Misi inside. LB would have been a done deal. Oh well. I'm not complaining either about addressing RB tonight.... Williams and Leshoure off the board
I don't think we will be horrible enough to get Luck. The defense can win us some games. We wont know how this team is going to look until after FA.
Coming from a Bengals fan whose team has a group of middle school kids on a field trip as scouts, that's likely a compliment. You should probably thank him. Box of chocolates perhaps. Any kind of thoughtful gesture really. pardon my intrusion. rant on.
Yo uare 100% corerect. Even through the mediocre years, I always said "We need to tank a season to get some picks and clean house". Well. that season (1-15) happened and what did we get? a flash in the pan season with no chance and then squat. A total organizational enima is in order.
Well at least we can scratch 'struggling QB' off of the list for now... won't do us a lot of good with a coach who is out of his league.
I'd like to remind everyone I created this thread whilst hammered during the draft. However, I stand by (most of) the stuff I said about Ireland. Ireland is definitely a ginger weasel, no doubt about it. Daniel Thomas pick still pisses me off.
Well, everything I said about this team whilst wasted during the draft last year was correct. **** this regime.
This team is going 0-16 if they don't beat the Denver Tebow's next Sunday. We have two winnable games this season. Cleveland and Denver. Already lost one of them.
