Grats Sut. With Brady, Manning and Rapeyburgers all old and broken down, the coming years should be a battle for AFC QB dominance between Tannehill and Flacco.

Speaking of the Dolphins, Peterson is still the pipe dream, but I'd be perfectly ok if Jones dealt for Lamar Miller. Would love to see him run behind the world's greatest offensive line.

Tannehill shows improvement each year. Wouldn't say Top 10 yet, but certainly a good deal.
Miller isn't going anywhere. He's our feature back and will be the workhorse with Ajayi picking up a small amount of the work load. I would love for them to bring back Moreno and have Miller/Moreno split the carries but I really don't see that happening especially since Miller wants to take 20+ carries a game.

God the crop of QBs in the last few years have been dumpster fires.
Sure there have been some crappy players but really, dumpster fires?

2014
Bortles has potential, Bridgewater looks good, Carr looks good, Most moronic pats fans thinks Garoppolo is the second coming of Brady, jury still out on Mettenberger.
Manziel was obviously trash but everyone knew that.

2013
EJ/Geno combo brings this draft's grade down hard but Glennon isn't complete trash and Nassib is a sleeper waiting to unleash.

2012
Luck, RG3, Tannehill, Weeden, Russel Wilson, Foles, Cousins

2011
Newton, Kaeperbro, Dalton
and the suckage of Locker, Gabbert, Ponder, Mallet.

That's one thing that shocked me about Mettenberger last year. Dude lasted to the sixth round and he's absolutely an NFL QB. Maybe not a starter, but he has a great arm, pretty good accuracy, and he looked competent as a rookie. Then you have all these guys get drafted higher who don't look anything like NFL QBs. It honestly feels like drafting a QB is a complete crapshoot, because if they aren't lottery tickets they would be going in the top 3.

Excellent.

Chargers line keeping Miami company at the bottom of the list but none of our top 3 picks were line related. It's good to be a Chargers fan.
Dallas has more OL talent than we know what to do with. I mean we didn't even draft one but still got one of the best in the draft

I was surprised you guys took mariotta. Didn't get to see the titans play much but was hearing decent things about him. Do you think the pick was the right thing for Tennessee, especially with your coaches preference for traditional QBs?

Are you brain dead? there is a huge difference in playing a sport where people as a side product have the chance to get hurt to paying out a bounty to a group of people to purposely injure someone. It's not fucking cage fighting you dipshit.
I understand the difference you don't have to be so upset about it as what I am saying is I don't care if that if they were paying to try and injure someone, the injury can't take place if your players do their job. Then again like I said I am all for paying people to try and play /hit harder/making them want to do their job vs big vagina dudes like Jimmy Graham who are afraid to block.

Miami is making some great moves. Locking up a franchise QB for pennies compared to some other ones when hes been getting better every year is a nice move. Too bad Wallace was such a little prick, he was putting up Jordan-like numbers in Pittsburgh then ruined his career by thinking his shit didnt stink and went to a far worse offense.

Well, our GM isn't good so I don't trust anything he does, but if the front office thinks he's a franchise QB they have to take him, period. I'm not so sure, so I wanted to go D-Line, but it's practically impossible to get a good young QB in the NFL nowadays and it's not like we were going to win anything anyway so go ahead and take the chance. Maybe you luck out and he's the next Aaron Rodgers or Mcnair. Maybe you don't and he's gone in four years. But unless you have a great organization you aren't winning dick without a franchise QB, and the Titans are not a great organization, and probably can't be until they get new ownership.

Good Contract for the Fins with Tannehill, but it doesnt change the fact that teams kind of need a cheap QB to win at this level. 16m cap hit in the same year Suh is going to eat up 22m? Thats a whole lot of money invested in a couple players.

NFL is success, especially in the AFC, is all about depth. And being able to get quality depth especially at the O-line. The defensive lines in this conference will make your life miserable if your 6th, 7th and 8th man is bargin basement stuff.

Better do it this year...it gets ugly from here on out for you Sut,

We have 25 mil in dead money. We free up a ton next year and signed almost all major contacts this year. Shouldn't be too bad.

Azeth, stop fronting with these ridiculous Lifetime bets. We all remember you pussying out when we asked you for a bet that was actually reasonable.

Shall I link that conversation? or do you want to shut the fuck up now?
