  1. Here is an interesting take... Lamar Jackson said he dropped his weight to 205lbs.. same weight he was 2 years ago when he won the MVP...thats not that much heavier than JD. Makes me feel better about JDs weight now. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/lamar-jackson-says-hes-dropped-his-weight-to-205
  2. I understood your post just fine...and it wasn't aimed at only you.. but also other posters who tend to defend or explain away Rons mistakes. It sounds like you're putting most of the blame on Snyder.. and while i agree that working for Snyder was no cakewalk.. it was not an "impossible situation" you make it out to be, and Rivera made his own bed with his own decisions that had little Snyder influence.
  3. why is there this constant need to defend and make excuses for Rivera on this board like he is a bullied kid in the play yard? he didn't step in to a good situation with a crappy owner.. true, but everything else is his own doing! 1. Generally idiotic statements in the media and in the press, that frankly intelligent GMs just don't do 2. Criminal roster contraction and management 3. Atrocious drafting all around 4. Terrible hiring decisions of coaches and then giving them too much control 5. idiotically blind loyalty to players and coaches that didnt deserve it (cheeseman ring a bell?) He was SO bad as a GM/HC that that i can not find a single positive from his tenure here. This might be an unpopular opinion in this new whiny/ ****y world we now live in, but i also dont accept the "oh but he had cancer" excuse. If battling cancer was effecting his ability to make proper decisions that much and he is truly the stand up guy that media makes him out to be .. then he should have retired for his own benefit and for the benefit of the team. I also feel that the whole notion that Rivera is at least a "nice guy" overblown. Not that i really give a crap... Coaches arent paid to be nice guys, they are paid to win. The "nice guy" notion is probably propagated by the players that he keeps on the roster that have no business being there... and the GMs that rake Rivera over the barrel on trades, hang up the phone and then high five each other on how they once again took advantage of this buffoon. But no, by all means... give him a participation trophy along with the ~30mil in salary that he got from the team and make excuses for poor old Ronnie
  4. Jamin might still get suspended for his street racing this year.. i wouldn't count on him contributing much before he gets cut or traded. Just another reminder of the atrocious job Rivera did as a HC and GM.
  5. If we could get Aiyuk for a 3rd and give him a good contract (25-28mil/ year) .. i'd go with that! Terry is only here for one more year anyway.. team has an out after 24 with only an 11mil cap hit. So you would have both him and Terry for a year, and then rid ourselves of Terries contract.. and if 24 goes well, it will be a late 3rd round pick.
  6. That pick was beyond stupid. its hilarious watching some of the mediots try to explain away the reasoning when its obvious they themselves dont even believe it was a good pick. Of course watch Cousins get hurt in the first game ala Rogers and Penix light up the NFL as Atl FO will he hailed as geniuses for their foresight
  7. Lucas is actually decent at LT... he even plays well at times. The issue with him was that when pressed in to a full time role, he cant stay healthy and now at 32 that will be an even bigger issue. Leno was overrated as hell, Lucas might actually be an improvement. I think we have enough pieces (including those drafted last year) and Olineman i expect the team to yet bring in, to put together a half way decent OL. We might be in for a lot trial an error lienup changes early in the season though
  8. Just because Niners want a 1st for Aiyuk does not mean they get anything close to that. Keenan Allen (who is much more accomplished) was traded for a 4th rd pick. I wouldn't give anything more than a 3rd for Aiyuk but dont see it happening since we are already paying Terry 20mil/year and this is a deep WR draft.
  9. I doubt Wash will find a starting LT In the draft this year. I would bet they do find a veteran after the draft or after cut downs at least for this year and try to develop a guy. Current FA options are: Bakhtiari Duane Brown Danavon Smith ......Not too inspiring
  10. I think Pats are in a good spot. They brought it Brisset with the idea that he will most likely start and keep them competitive in 24, so at worst they are looking at a mid round pick in 25(which wont get you a franchise potential QB especially in a weak QB class) Maye gets to sit for a year and learn/ improve his mechanics and then Pats get to reload in 25 with a O heavy draft to set them up for years to come.
  11. Thats the kind of thinking that got us to where we are now... is that you Ron?
