Well... were I to be an optimist - I might be able to somewhere within my cranium imagine that we are trying for a very early draft pick..... BUT...

I have been concerned about the team's situation since Tua was drafted. I thought it was an error then, and nothing so far has changed my mind....

I would rather take a gamble on three first rounders contributing to the Dolphins than Watson.

Very True. I would hope, though, we find someone who's mind is at least comfortable thinking about football and not just reproductive exercises.

Seconded!

Gentlemen, you were both blessed to have your fathers that long. Give thanks to the Lord for that.

Very few people could handle a warrior at the dining room table if the conduct was the same as when the warrior was afield.

Not until he gets an Unnecessary Roughness flag when he is carrying the football. THEN, he can remind us of Csonka!

Wow, guys.. Thanks much!

Well, some of you might remember and know that in the BAD OLD DAYS, it usually took quarterbacks 3-5 years to reach the point at which they might...

I will answer.. No he is not... Brady's draft falls under the category "Every once in a while, even a blind hog finds the acorn!"

If Burrow indicated that he did not want to go the the Bungles... to me that would show he had good sense.

That's why it is called a SWAG..... Scientific Wild @$$ Guess!. If the team is sold on Burrow.... Do it! If they feel any of the next three or...
