.. Why no WRs??? I thought we were looking for a receiver with some size? Maybe Kingsbury is comfortable with the guys we have or maybe they don't want to tip the guys they're interested in to other teams. Or maybe they are visiting the receivers they like at their schools, this week. Either way on the surface it's puzzling, but underneath I know they are playing chess so they must have a hood reason for it.

Stepped away from this thread for a few days and I'm questioning why I stepped back in lol. This whole thread from beginning to end is just a case study in self-generated attitude change and self-serving biases. In true extremeskins fashion, each camp's attitudes have become more extreme the longer this has gone on. Now, we are discounting some of the media heads that earlier on were "the only resonable ones to listen to (e.g., Keim) or potentially supporting others that have been knuckleheads in the past (e.g., Gruden) just because it supports a viewpoint or agenda. To be clear, I'm in the take Maye or JD camp and I will support whomever we choose and also can't wait till Thursday night. I don't watch enough college football or have enough time to pour over tape. I like the little bit of JD's tape a little more than Maye's for a few reasons. But, when projecting for a career QB, Maye has the potential to have that 15+ year career (ala Brady, Rodgers etc. over JD whom I feel could have a few of good/great years and potentially fade much earlier.. But who actually knows? I would like to add that, reading these posts, those that feel that this discussion is equal and spirited in both directions may be serving their own biases. From a neutral (or as neutral as one can be) perspective, this thread is heavily pro Maye and the Daniels supporters aren't given nearly as much lattitude in their posts and opinions. Like you all are working at the Post jk Just my nearly worthless two pennies. Please carry on with your poor old dead horses and see you all Thursday night as the board melts down for about a week and then everyone begins convincing themselves it was the right pick to relieve that icky cognitive dissonance-like feeling, HTTR!

I think she even mentioned in the ruling that she sought advice from her bosses at the 11th circuit. Something that's straightforward that she'd too stupid to figure out herself.

They also got #81 back in that deal. And 33 is a bit of an exception to the trade value rules, since everybody has all night to put together offers and negotiate over the pick. Moving to 33 for a QB is always going to be a bit more pricey than other deals. I think the JAX example you referenced is a good one, but so is the deal that was made for the previous pick (#26 in 2022): 26 and 101 for 35, 69, and 163. I would do that deal all day long if Mims made it that far. Probably not for Guyton or Morgan. Realistically, I think they’ll have to go up a bit further than that to get where they want to be (in range of one of the top 6 OTs). I think the goal would be to do 36 + 67 + 152 to get up into the 20-22 range. And then try to trade back from 40 (into the mid-50s). to recoup some capital. I just don’t think sitting at 36 and 40 fits the board and our particular needs. I really hope they’re more creative about moving around the board than the last group.

I think GMAP willl go with the long term in mind. I can hear Timberlake proclaim "It's gunna be Maye"

My prediction is that the agency who reps Daniels will end up dissolving and reforming/rebranding some time in the near future after they do a nice little "what did we learn" session. Like comedy of PR errors over here, and they're all self inflicted in situations where you have no pressure to make a mistake. You're tweeting for ****s sake, you can just spend an extra minute to clean up the tweet and not hit post. First his agent liking tweets and emojis, now this "prepared to play for" thing. Like come on use "ecstatic to bring his skills to the NFL, and wants to build a bright future with every team he has the honor of playing for." Bam. Lookit that. Easy.

I’m going to say I don’t think anything the agent tweeted, retweeted, or commented on is going to have any bearing whatsoever on what the Commanders do. What WILL have bearing on what they do is how Daniels fit in with the players during the visit and how well he did in the 1:1 interviews. If you want to extrapolate the agents ire is because he didn’t do well in those situations, fine. Schefter had something to that effect. But we don’t actually know. Peters knows. I have been on the Maye train since the beginning. I still think that’s likely but Daniels wouldn’t remotely surprise me. To me, nothing has really changed.

I would imagine that the state and AG would prefer getting the money instead of going through the hassle of seizing properties and bank accounts and trying to (I guess) sell off real estate to get the money. If so, then one more week won't hurt if he's somehow able to indeed come up with a solidly guaranteed bond (or just pay the entire thing in cash). I'm also unsure if giving defendants several attempts to get things right is the norm or not. It very well may be. It may not just be because he's Trump...

Because you generate less revenue than a Chick-fil-a franchise, Devin. Your target market is limited and they aren't exactly the type that buys a new iPhone every year. You aren't going to have some boom of new users on your social media platform. Saying you're going to launch a streaming platform isn't the same as actually doing it. and, go ahead. Not all the people (numbers are dropping) that post on your social media platform are going to pay to stream your shows. How much a month are you going to charge?

Haha, it’d be quite poetic if Nunes becomes the target of these “retail investors”.

I don’t think Pakistan has rich royal families. Maybe use Saudi Arabia? But apart from that the analogy holds.

Because the glass is unbreakable??... I thought it was gonna be because the dude was wearing a seatbelt lol...

I know we have previously called these guys idiots but they also like Maye ALOT. Making all the comparisons y’all have made (which makes the idiot thing kinda funny) about John Allen. They like him better at reading defenses pre snap too, it sounds. They never say it but it sounds like they are a step away. They like everything we like about him. And they don’t call him a project.

I would love to see/know exactly how the visit went though. It could be that Daniels felt uncomfortable since he’s naturally an introvert and struggled with the golf and felt bad/disappointed that he didnt present himself the best and perhaps that permeated into the actual meetings.

^^^Those things are the aliens.

I had 3 drinks with dinner, fell asleep at 10:30ish and slept all the way through to 5:45 or so. Which at my age, is nothing short of a small miracle. Maybe I should buy a scratcher today?

Yeah, I'm under the impression that, in order to get a stay on a court's ruling (that he owes this money), the person appealing has to show 1) That irreparable harm will occur if the ruling is enforced, while being appealed. 2) And that the appellant has a reasonable chance of winning the appeal. Now, I can kind of see how the first might be true. That, if the AG begins attempting to place tax liens on Trump properties, this could cause foreclosures and other sudden forced sales. It could trigger Trump being forced to sell properties, at well below market value. (Or at least, people will CLAIM it's well below market value.) I have no clue how a judge can rule that the second part is true.

I live in quietest place ever in my life. It's a non-hoa neighborhood but we are at the back with 2 dead ends here and a forest behind. Perfect place even on top of hill and corner lot with an old hide-in-the-house single person as the one actual neighbor. Still I stay up until 2-3 wake up at 7-9. I do have to take a nap or 2 during the day though while my wife is at work. Sleep has gotten weird. I have a bunch of prescriptions I'm supposed to take but I avoid them all except for the antibiotics that are required.

Lotta grasping at straws going on 'round here. anything and everything at this point. Whatever floats ya boat, I guess. Yup. Usually the high end dual threat prospect that comes out is pretty much all athlete and a mess on the passing side without the developed mechanics or fundamental skills/reading ability, or they lack any kind of production entirely and are just good bodies. (see Ant Rich) Dude is kinda a unicorn. Its very hard to find a good comp. Its why I settled on sport package Hurts. Better performance model, better transmission/mechanics, better wheels and a whole lotta weight removed via carbon fiber. Basically the Shelby Cobra to Hurts Mustang.

I do think there is a chance Daniels expected a bit of a red carpet treatment and was disappointed but I dont think he suddenly doesn’t wanna play here or anything like that.

Not directed toward this board. Just the nah sayers on SM… The issue with social media (more so X) where ppl just spew stupidity over and over again trying to prove their point… life would be so much better if X was gone along w/IG and even recently FB…. Everyone has a voice kinda like ppl just talking cause they got lips… man I can’t wait for Thursday to get here fast enough… but then after that it will be the why we took why we did bluh bluh….

Eh. I’m not sure I believe all that. He was very complimentary of JJ on Bram’s show and even threw a dart at OSU for passing over him. Apparently that was JJ’s first choice and the Buckeyes chose the other guy.

The kid himself has said and done literally nothing that’s the funny part. People are gonna hate him because of a bunch of **** other people have said about him. Reading into EVERY word on Twitter has never worked for anything
