No, I like it here. I plan on sticking around til it closes.

It's a good thing reddit isn't closing any time soon then. Feel free to sign up over there.

That's a given. The homers will never admit it, but that's why we call them homers; they aren't realists like us. Duh.

My favorite movie evaaaar

Actually we agree on a good bit, but agreeing is boring LOL

Abso. Freakin. Lootly. I don't give a rat's rear what the stat sheets say, Flacco is at his best when he is throwing intermediate and deep passes all game long.

Call me crazy, but I actually am starting to miss Cam Cameron. This offense has been even worse since he left, save for 2014 when Kubiak was here. At least when Cameron abandoned the run game, he still had the good sense to utilize his QBs obvious gifts. Abandoning the run AND trying to turn Flacco in Captain Checkdown...well...it's no wonder why this offense struggles so much.

I know! Franchise added me on Myspace years ago to keep in touch...but, well, it took a dump shortly thereafter once FB took over the world. He and Wardie were great people, I missed them as well.

Honestly, I think the effects of that were a little overblown. Like Mixon, who is far more concerning to me, still went in the top portion of the 2nd. But that isn't to say it had no effect, it clearly did play a role as well. I just think the lack of experience / one-dimensional player had a bigger role.

I wish you and Harbs would stop saying that after every interview LOL.

The only reason I am not carrying points is that I haven't been active the past few months Listen, there were times where I thought the mods were being way too knit-picky, even with the understanding that this is a family oriented community. But they have also let me slide many times, more than I deserved. They have been more than fair to me personally, and for that I appreciate it. You know, the other night I went through my content just to reminisce; as narcissistic as this is going to come off as, I got a lot of laughs reading through some of my old threads and the responses to them. The Purple Reign thread was probably my favorite thread ever So it's kind of depressing on a personal level to see this forum die. So much time spent on here, so many laughs shared with others, so many awesome and cool new people I've gotten to meet. but instead of being sad about what we're losing, I'm just thankful for what we had!

I'm of the mindset that it is better to be great at one thing rather than being good at two things. And just look no further than AZ last season as proof of that; a top 5 defense and offense got them what, 7 wins? So I like what they are doing here, especially with the anticipation of bringing in veteran help in the coming months to fill holes along the offensive line. Top notch front office, as always.

I heard from him a while back, but nothing since then. I think he's been busy as of late.

Maybe, maybe not...if anyone can bring out his full potential, it's PIT. In a vacuum, I have more confidence in him than Bowser; he has a much higher floor I believe, although Bowser does have a higher ceiling.

Biggest issue, in my mind at least, is that he hasn't seen nearly as many snaps as many other players during his career. So therefore, less tape on him, and less ability to make a confident projection. He had something like 600 or so less snaps than Barnett just last season alone. That, in addition to the idea that he may be a pass rush specialist rather than a three down player, dropped his draft value a bit. But make no mistake, there is great value in being a pass rush specialist. If we had a chance to draft the next Dumervil in the 1st round, certainly we would do so, despite Dumervil only bringing pass rushing ability to the table and little else.
