I really don't care which team makes the super bowl at this point. As long as it ends with a NFC win, I'll be happy.

Lol, can you just change the thread name to the Joe Flacco Steaming Pile? Tough Talk just doesn't cover it anymore.

I am a big proponent of getting the sideline and goaline cameras involved. Have to have all the angles covered. I also believe they should have another ref in the booth to assist with calls on the field, not just for review. There are way to many missed calls that are blatant penalties where a ref in the booth should relay the call to the field.

I can understand and agree with the teams stand on DV. I also don't feel this team is just trying to bring in "choir boys". It makes no sense. No one here truly knows the amount of time that goes into evaluating players and if someone is passed by, it's because there was something seen in their play that turned the team off. There are always going to be players that all 32 teams will pass on multiple times and will go on to becoming big stars in the league. It happens every year.

Exactly! It's easy to just throw away 47.3m over the next 4 years for some rocket surgeons on here.

I feel that due to BWill and Wagner both being ranked in the free agent top 25, it will play hard on us retaining them. Especially considering they are both listed as the #1 free agents at their positions. Now of course, all that may change as cap cuts from other teams are made but, I still believe it will drive their price up beyond what our team feels they can afford imo.

I would expect that the team will do something this season in memory of David as they have with everyone we have lost. Hopefully it is something significant since so much of his imprint is in this franchise.

Agreed. Again based on the NFL draft value chart, our 1 and 2 together would get us in the top 10 to around #8. That's in range of a true impact player but like you said, it needs to be "That Guy".

Just curious as to why you want them to let Juice leave?

Based on the NFL draft value chart, our #1 and a 3rd round comp packaged together would allow us to move up approximately 2 spots, from #16 to #14.

It won't matter, they'll just complain about Flacco in every other thread. I'd say just leave it alone and stop responding to them. Eventually they will tire of being the only ones commenting in this thread.

Obviously, the man touched many hearts. Rest in peace David.

Congrats to Mosley and Stanley for making the top 25 players under 25. I expect to see more accolades for these two as their careers progress.

Maybe, lightning will strike again and another cap casualty will become available. We need to help ourselves out of this position we are always in by continuing to draft quality receivers in the early rounds until we find the right mix, just like other teams do.

You would let Wagner walk? By doing so at present, you would be letting the #1 top ranked free agent tackle in the NFL leave which creates another spot we have to fill with an unknown. Also, who knows if Lewis can even handle the RT position. Has anyone seen him perform there? How much bigger of a left guard do you want? At 6'6" & 315 they don't come much bigger than Lewis.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to see him play under our colors and in our house. Damn did those three years go by too fast.

David was a man who knew how important we fans are to this team. Thank you David for helping to bring this franchise here and making us champions again.

This is sad news for us all. David was a good person who had an enormous amount of affection for this organization and us fans. He has left us way to soon. My deepest condolences to family and friends.

I think the decision is more up to McDermott than Frazier.

Not too sure about that one Mom. With a new HC coming in, it's not uncommon to see the whole staff scrapped, allowing McDermott to choose his own staff. Now if Reed had ties to McDermott or Frazier, I could see it as a possibility but, since he doesn't, I suspect he'll be left on the outside.

I'm really bummed by losing Frazier. I felt he did wonders for our secondary this season. Can't blame him for taking a DC position though, especially with a HC he's already familiar with. Surprised McDermott didn't go the distance and take the last former Eagles coach we have left.

Yeah I researched his contract yesterday and found he was only signed through 2016.

I'm excited about Roman coming here and can't wait to see what he does with the Oline once we restock it.

Why TE's coach and not OL coach? Doesn't seem to make sense considering Castillo is leaving.

I'm surprised no one has suggested McDermott take Harbs as well, lol. I hate seeing Frazier leave after only one season here. He definitely helped the D become a better unit while here.
