    I’m a grown man. I do not need you to do anything for me, I’m pretty clear in what I think. Thank you though.

    The most vocal proponents of Stroud absolutely claim he’s the franchise and a future great. I don’t care if you’re lumped in with them or not.

    No, me wanting odds for a long term bet isn’t contradicting anything. A straight up bet is never going to fly when someone offers a bet like that. I’m going to let someone hold a thousand dollars for a few years to win a thousand? No, that’s losing money.

    No one mentions knob-slobbing, again, that’s just you.
    Your “compliments” are always followed by a stipulation or som snide comment. I did t even want stroud in the draft, in fact, I agreed with you for most of it. But I’m excited for my team and my qb is looking better than expected. I also, for the life of me, can’t see the difference between these stroud knob-slobbers and you with Maye and Levis..

    And for the record, both are over the top.

    For one, nowhere did I clamor for Levis, that’s the rhetoric the unintelligent here ran with. Don’t be like them.
    Maye? Absolutely. Because he’s an elite prospect.

    As to your first part, I literally have said he’s doing great and is a beast when clean. No stipulations, no backhanded compliments.

    That’s not good enough for you and the other fanboys I guess. Sorry, I don’t care

    Off subject but Daniel Jones might have the worst wr core in the league. He would kill to have a Nico or Tank to throw to.

    I'm looking at all white running backs in college with 4.4 speed, who can catch the ball to compliment Pierce.

    Exactly of who I was thinking. It's the only I could think of lol. Gave up my hopes of adding a white WR last year when we passed on Pierce. Sad.

    Have you seen Panthers WRs? Giants have a good TE, need to use him more.

    We can win with CJ. Posturing the "what ifs" is meaningless going forward. Need to figure out how to maximize his talent and fill out the peripheral squad around him. Im not super thrilled with the offensive scheme, but its too early to draw any conclusions other than CJ has shown he belongs.

    I agree with this, although I think the scheme is a winner. If and only if there’s time, but since the line sucks id like to see some variance and quicker passing game until we can run the longer developing plays

    Tank Dell should be a highlighted player IMO and overall the short passing game should be more of a focus right now. Quick hitting 6-7 yard passes are just as good as force feeding an incapable run game due to those OL issues. Im hoping the coaches we have are able to see the problems and adapt vs being stubborn with "their system".

    True. Their offense looks so much better uptempo, and Stroud looked like he can handle it. Current OL does not give enough time for Stroud to wait long and not enough push/movement to force the run game.

    I'd love to see DeMeco go 'muddle huddle' at times with CJ and completely throw off the Jags defense.

    He’s also being sacked easily because his o line sucks

    Unless I think a guys a generational prospect like an Elway or Manning I pick the guy that's not a DM client.

    Stroud would have been the right pick at #1. Just wait until we have a healthy offensive line.

    Another little thing, and it never happened with Watson or Mills, is drawing the defense offsides with your cadence. 3x last game.

    So to be clear, if Williams and May choose DM, you would still take them? I understand it’s because they are better prospects, just wanted to see if their rep would matter or not.
