why does it not surprise me that the resident simpleton asked for the easiest team to use. Your effort is literally crud without the #2 and #13 picks you used as a crutch to buy your team with. Your five big trades literally hinged on inheriting those two high draft picks. Your team is weaksauce dude, and to illustrate that point: Unlike you inheriting the #2 overall pick for free, I had to utilize three trades and part ways with Red Bryant, Max Unger, Zach Miller, Jermaine Kearse, a 4th rounder, and swap of 2nd rounders to move my #32 pick up for it..... and unlike you using the #2 pick to buy your roster at the start of the league, my #2 pick is still sitting on my roster waiting to be used in the draft. I had to trade Lynch to gain an extra 1st needed to acquire Wake since I wasn't handed two 1sts like the lazy Rams GM. Unlike the #13 pick you inherited for free and used to buy more of your roster, I had to trade Byron Maxwell & Brandon Mebane to get the #11 pick which, like my #2 pick, is sitting on my roster waiting to be used for the draft. Add up all the players I had to sacrifice to acquire the #2 and #11 picks and then compare that to all the players you BOUGHT with the #2 and #13 picks, then tell me the massive net difference between them [not to mention all the trades needed to make it happen]. Here, I'll help you: Todd had to SACRIFICE Brandon Mebane, Byron Maxwell, Red Bryant, Max Unger, Zach Miller, Jermaine Kearse, a 4th, and swap of 2nds to gain #2 and #11. That's on top of already losing 5 starters or sub package studs in FA- Tony McDaniel, Brandon Browner, Walter Thurmond, Clinton McDonald, Breno Giacomini. Meanwhile, SituationJrLite GAINED Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy, Demaryius Thomas, Larry Warford, Suh, Josh Sitton, and Jason McCourty by using his free #2 and #13 picks, and he didn't have to lose anyone of value to FA. But hey, some of us enjoy and prefer a good challenge.
Only YOU would try to spin it some ridiculous way to make yourself look superior. Guess what princess....YOU INHERITED THE DEFENDING SUPER BOWL CHAMPS with a plethora of young talent to trade AND cap space, AND a franchise QB. I inherited a sub .500 team with 3M in cap room and a huge question at the games most important position, you suckered a couple of people into ridiculous trades...and when they didn't accept one of your shnitty offers?? You wrote a thesis about how dumb they must be and how couldn't they see that you were just trying to help. Besides, the fact that my team is better than yours isn't even the point. The point is you are the funniest thing I've ever seen in 5 seasons in the GML. I truly can rarely tell if you are joking around? Or you are really that big of a -----y. I'm stumped
LOL, here's your sign. [using CiF's accent] I took a team that: had the LAST PICK of the 1st & 2nd rounds and NO 3rd rounder. was CAP STRUNG contrary to your ignorant statement. 4M in cap space. not enough to sign Seattle's original draft class. Michael Bennett Golden Tate Brandon Browner Walter Thurmond Tony McDaniel Breno Giacomini Clinton McDonald Doug Baldwin the above 6 starters and 2 premium nickel players hit Free Agency w/o the cap space to sign a single one. For perspective, they commanded $44 MILLION in FA. What other GM faced a tougher free agency than that? Offensively, that 2 starting receivers and starting RT. Defensively, that's Seattle's top pass rusher, one of the NFL's best starting run stuffing DTs, one of the NFL's best interior nickel rushers, a quality starting corner, and arguably the NFL's best nickel corner.... and on top of that- the need to trade Cliff Avril for peanuts and cut Chris Clemons to create enough cap space to address all the lost starters to FA, leaving Seattle's D line dismantled and with only 1 of its 4 pass rushers left in the process. and the "plethora of young talent to trade" you mentioned? You guys poisoned my main trade player, Harvin [as well as Von Miller], and since Seattle is about defense, I wasn't about to destroy the L.O.B and mess up the defense even further unless a trade offer was impossible to resist. I had to steal from the already depleted offense by trading Lynch & Okung just so I could work on mending the defending #1 defense. However, restoring it to its prior #1 status wouldn't be satisfactory enough for this tough crowd; I'd have to make it even better than it previously was to be perceived as doing a GM of the Year worthy job, regardless of having to start off in a major hole. So to summarize, I was faced with improving a Super Bowl team that was minus 8 valuable players, without the cap space to sign any of them, and with minimal draft ammo to make up for it. So for all intents and purposes I took a version of the Seahawks that was noticeably worse on paper than the one that won the Super Bowl, yet I knew going into this that I'd be judged against the 2013 SB team rather than the whittled down 2014 version. And amidst all this, I knew the league would be even MORE critical of me BECAUSE I TOOK THE DEFENDING SUPER BOWL CHAMPS since it's the toughest team to live up to, hence taking Seattle posed an even heavier challenge, you absolute opposite of a genius. That's a tough enough challenge w/o having trades and players poisoned, auctions reneged on, and key free agents removed from your roster and put back into FA.
Hey, maybe if I keep it going a few more days I can get myself banned this year and hope to earn a badge that rivals your esteemed "2013 Banned CryBaby of the Year" one, eh? How devastating for you. First mommy informs you that daddy was in fact not a famous rock star who nailed her after a concert; then your 8th grade science teacher spills the beans that your 12th runner up Honorable Mention ribbon last year for your experiment about "how 1 cookie is in fact equal to the same cookie in 4 pieces" was made up; and now this. Somebody, QUICK, hide Fin-O's Gillette Sensor Plus before he grabs it in despair and shaves his arms to death.
I don't even know how to respond to that....TODDSPHINS. Just because the wife is nailing everyone in the trailer park besides you, doesn't mean you can take out your anger issues on posters of this site. You are hands down the sissy boy around here, I assume these issues have a lot to do with your dishonorable discharge. I feel sorry for you brother, you in all honesty need to seek professional help....and I assume I'm not the only one who has ever suggested that. Get well Toddsphins.
What your wife does in her spare time is her business dude, and the reason she's nailing everyone but me is the result of me having standards that exclude filthy, decrepit, needle-marked slags.
