So now that it appears as if you have no rebuttal to my points on RR's roster moves you are going to keep hammering home this one? As I already pointed out the best players on this roster were here before RR arrived. As has been pointed out it's hard to know exactly how much control Smith had, and again Snyder stole his first round pick. But the fact remains the best players on this team, specifically but not limited to TM, and Allen, were picked when Smith was here.

No actually my point was this staff has not done well. A point you continued to ague so I have simply responded to your arguments. As for Smith as others had mentioned with Bruce and Dan (who torpedoed their first round pick by forcing Haskins, if not we could be talking about a hit by Kyle Smith) around it's hard to determine which were really Kyle's picks. What I do know if the best players on this team were here before RR took over personnel.

While I admire your passion this is a homer post. Cosmi is solid, I'll give you that. But "very good" as you claimed? Well as my example showed at this point in time he is not at the Very Good catagory, not even close. We don't know about Davis. But you seem convinced he will be an impact player. That has not happened yet so too early for you to spike the football there, to date he has not lived up to his draft status, not even close. But you are right, he was drafted as a bit of a project. Which of course lead to the question why are they spending the 19th pick in the draft on a project? We'll see on him but to date, well.... BSJ is a pick I really liked at the time. But to date there is nothing, I repeat nothing, that shows us that he will be a "good" starting CB. And he sure isn't there now, so again your claim that he is "good" is premature. Finding a blocking TE in the middle rounds is just not that difficult. Why are we even mentioning back of the roster players like Milne? They have no impact, every team in the league has a Milne on their roster. Year 3 and to date not one impact player has been drafted, or signed as a FA for that matter, by this staff.

I'm pretty sure the leak came from a Secret Service agent. They have taken an oath to protect the country right?

Again you are dealing in theory. Yes Cosmi was pretty good, when he played. Not sure what the definition of "very good" is but for argument's sake let's say that means he is in the top third. Anything below that would be considered "above average" which is a far cry from "very good". So are you now arguing that Sam Cosmi on August 28, 2022 is considered in the top 3rd of all starting RTs? Come on now...... And no it's not only dip****s that are labeling Davis a potential bust. It was pretty damn apparent. How many times have we heard coaches talk up players in camp? Remember how we heard how Devon Thomas has really improved? We've heard that about a thousand players over the years. Of course he could turn out to be really good, but we are a long way from actually seeing that in games that actually matter. Preseason games don't count, just ask Marco Mitchell fans. If you ask me only dip****s will listen to that talk and actually argue that it's fact. Still looking for that one impact player, and you have shown that you still don't have any. Just wishful thinking

Cosmi is still a bit unproven. And finding OL in the draft is not that hard, as are backup TEs such as Bates. Davis? Are we talking about the same Davis that still has BUST written all over him? He has proven nothing. Are you really using Milne as an example of solid drafting? Really? Those guys are a dime a dozen. I'm still looking for one impact player and it sure ain't on your list. And then we have the free agents they have signed. Only way to describe that is sigh. This is Ron's third season, can you really look at this roster and claim it is vastly better than the one he inherited?

The best players on this team are still players who were here before RR and his staff arrived. As was pointed out above Smith's picks were certainly not terrible, had Tim Settle been drafted years ago without the DT they had here at the time he would have been considered a hit in the later rounds. Now how many impact players, or even good solid starters, has RR and his staff drafted in 3 drafts?

It's actually 25%. The third round has the second highest number of receivers drafted with 52 but only a 25% success rate. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2015/2/20/8072877/what-the-statistics-tell-us-about-the-draft-by-round I'm not calling out Ron for this pick specifically. As I said it appears as if this is yet another miss by a staff that has had very few impact picks.

Looks like another miss by Ron and his staff. I was big on the hire of RR as coach. Once I heard he had total control of the roster I thought that was a huge mistake. They ran off Kyle Smith who did a good job and this is the result.

So, like, WTF happened to the Mary Jo White investigation? Seems the league has successfully put this on the back burner again, here we are discussing the band when we should be discussing the Snyder situation. The story is dying folks. Dying right before our eyes.

It wasn't as bad as Todd Pinkston but it was pretty obvious what happened He chickened out.

But they aren't Trump. But I did learn that they may have the trial, assuming their is a trial, in DC. As the January 6th traitors learned DC is not where you get MAGA justice, this is where breaking the law has consequences

Getting way ahead of myself here but if Trump is charged will the trial be a jury trial in Florida? What are the chances that they can find 12 impartial jurors without at least one member of the cult who will refuse to convict despite the evidence?

I love how people are still being identified and being called out. I hope he loses his job.

Should we be concerned? Sorry I didn't post the text, it's too big and would have taken up too much space. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/old-case-over-audio-tapes-bill-clintons-sock-drawer-could-impact

This was one of the worst crimes committed that day. I've been looking forward to her trial. But correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these charges similar to the other cases where people were in the Capitol? I guess theft of government property but seems to me stealing a laptop of a member of Congress is much more series than simply stealing government property which could be a stapler.

Donald Trump is not in a position to demand a damned thing

Can you summarize?

I woke up this morning and my first thought was Donald J. Trump going ballistic at Mar a Lago trying to sniff out the whistle blower. You know it's happening. There is no doubt in my mind he is a raving lunatic down there right now.This made me smile, it's gonna be a good day.

Rough week for President Trump. We have this issue, which is enormous in itself. The judge ruled the criminal case against his organization can proceed and then we see him tuck his tail between his legs and plead the 5h after very publicly proclaiming if you are innocent you don't plead the 5th. Heck his praising of Nazi Generals for their loyalty may have been the best thing out of him in a week.

Um...no. I'm an idiot.

Wow DeSantis calling out Fox and defending the FBI and DOJ's actions. This is significant. I always wondered how the other GOP candidates (outside of Hogan) would react to all of this.

My thoughts exactly. I share your views that I don't believe I'll ever see Donald Trump sent to prison And obviously as we're seeing the base will never waver regardless of what he does But his base isn't enough voters to win him any election, He needs to pull in moderate republicans and independents. I don't see that happening now

Wow..... Just WOW. Look if you are a lifelong Republican and subscribe to their policies, and have issues with the Dems and their position on border control etc well I can certainly understand your position. It's totally reasonable. But if you looked out the window today at your party, members who criticized Dear Lord were forced to hastily change their public position and so much more that is wrong with the GOP today, you should feel ashamed.
