Quote:Do you think the Browns would have settled for less to drop to #27?
probably not otherwise a lesser trade would have been made. point is as good as Julio Jones is he isn't worth that many picks. they could have gotten a stud WR later and also addressed needs to their Dline and secondary and such
we wouldn't want to trade away a bunch of picks just to get Teddy I wouldn't think. Too many holes on the roster.
Quote:So now you've flip-flopped back again? What else is new?
A month ago you were OK with the Jaguars winning.
The month before that you weren't OK with it.
Why am I not susprised?
Oh, so you are chastising me for getting swept up in the brief winning? LOL, had I not, you would have labeled me a non-fan for not being happy they were winning. I got your act down....
As it turns out, the tankers were 100% right. Kudos to them for not getting swept up with the faux winning a month ago like I mistakenly did. I led with my heart instead of my brain,.
What was Bradley supposed to do?
Play people that didn't earn their spot? That would have undermined him as a coach.
We won 4 games because our players got better and fought hard. I can't be mad at that.
If anything, looking at how many teams are 4-12, we are extremely LUCKY to be picking #3rd overall. I'd rather pick 3rd and 39th than 8th and 34th or whatever.

still riding the tank train, eh?
smh
you're so silly. Professionals don't suck on purpose. Guys don't give up on their jobs for the better of the employer they will no longer be with... what is so hard to understand?
Kubiak did not tank to ensure he'd be jobless. Schaub did not throw INTs on purpose so he could be watching football next season. The clots didn't tank for Luck, Manning masked a many a deficiencies on that team and with a Painter at QB and no better option on the street they did what they did. Lost. A lot.
Get over yourself. You are just plain wrong.
But your posts make so much more sense now... you're tanking on the board so you can absolutely be the worst poster. Good job.

In the first round that is great, but unfortunately it means in the second round we are #39, not #35.

I would much rather have the higher pick in round 1 than in 2... and we got the extra picks later to move around in round 2 if need be...
I'm hoping the cowboys win their coin toss so we can get the higher pick in round 4 as well.

Tis the season to be jolly...
Caldwell and crew will get their guy. It doesn't have to be in the first round either.
3rd pick is a great place to be. This draft has talent and depth at QB and Pass Rush.
Looking forward to May!
Oh, nevermind! THERE ARE ONLY 2 GOOD PLAYERS IN THIS DRAFT! WE GOHN DIEZ!

Like I said, If I had to choose, I'd rather pick higher in the 1st round than in the 2nd round. So in this case, we're lucky.
Just stop it. You like Broncos and are a traitor. Please don't respond to me ever again. Traitor!

Oklahomie brought up a good point in another thread that delves into the above rhetoric...
What games vs actual good (winning) teams on the schedule did we even remain competitive to the final score in? Usually good coaches will at least have ONE game in their first season where they beat a good team. I cited a mediocre coach even doing this his rookie year with JDR when he beat a Colts team in 2003 that had a winning record.
Gus beat a lot of teams in the 2nd half of the season that were simply bad teams. In most of our wins, it was more about the bad opponent outsucking us or out-imploding us.
Quote:Do you read?
You said you hope they win the coin toss so we get a higher fourth round pick. Why does that matter to a team that is stuck in a five-way tie before the Cowboys pick?

Shhhh...don't tell Oklahomie he made a good point...
Quote:Why do we care about the Cowboys?
le sigh...
Cowboys and Ravens finish with the same record and same sos
so a coin flip will decide when they pick.
if the boys win the coin flip, we get the ravens 4th rounder at pick 14 in that round, if the boys lose we get pick 19
and then again in round 5 we'll get the Ravens pick again.
Basically we don't care about the Cowboys... just want them to "win" the coin flip so we get the earlier pick in round 4.

This team clearly wasn't good enough to beat any good teams.
I would argue that this team was worse than every team we beat also. So Credit to Bradley, for winning 4 games with inferior talent.
But the players and the coach need to coach and play to win. If we win, I can't possibly be mad at it. And you know what? It made this season more enjoyable. It really did. You don't go to the games, so you wouldn't know.. but losing even 27-20 is OK in my mind like we did late in this year. But it was also FUN to be at the Thursday night game and see our team win. We played hard and we won, simple as that.
Life is short. I will enjoy every victory that I can.

Dont worry... she's a Broncos fan... she doesn't actually care what happens to the Jags.
When they play each other, she was rooting for the Broncos... makes sense to post so much on the Jags message board right?
I wonder if there is a BroncosWoman on the Broncos message board?

Dude.
Seriously.
There is no "faux" of winning. There are never
meaningless wins. Because ...
Some of us might be DEAD before next season starts. We have men and women in our armed forces who would kill to watch a Jag game from a seat in Everbank, or from a bar in Pennsylvania. There are only 16 games a year (sometimes more if you're good). Each game is a jewel ... to be enjoyed (win or lose). Life is short. Enjoy your Sunday. That's all. That's it.
"Tanking"
doesn't ever happen in the NFL. Sure, sometimes wheels fall off but no one ever does it on purpose. That's the "faux"you need to grasp.
