That's a job I would love to interview for. 👹 Other job desired: in-house mental health counselor for fox news employees.

I've posted enough about my take on Ron the HC from day one and throughout his devolution, football wise, from poor to atrocious during his tenure. But regarding the roster aspect specifically, I'm thinking of the (generalized) camps most regs here fell into on that matter as of his last year. One, a medium sized group that includes me, thought less than half the roster were average or better NFL players, and that we had maybe three to five "upper tier" players total on both sides of the ball with arguably zero "elite" players. Payne, Terry, or Allen were close to elite, but not quite there. Then there was a fairly sizeable group who thought the roster wasn't that bad though def needed serious improvement. And there were a few who thought the roster had enough talent on it that coaching changes and a new QB would do a lot and that the roster didn't need to actually be "blown up." I think the moves being made echo that "group one" position. The roster was that bad, coaching aside. No doubt competent coaching will help a few become worth keeping, but it needed to be blown up. Love that they aggressively did just that, starting in free agency, and we will see a fair number of even more signings before they're done.

Oh, "it's a number." 🙄 Ok, Mr. No Big Deal Guy. It's JUST a number. Then what about 1 is the Loneliest Number"? The Magnificent 7? The Fantastic 4? SEAL Team 6? Deep Space 9? 25 Or 6 to 4? 1st and 10? 16 Candles? There Must Be 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover? The 300 Spartans? The 13th Warrior? Billboards Top 10? Yeah. It's just a number. 😁

Gotta admit, I went back and read the last couple pages I'd missed and still couldn't figure out what this post was saying. 🤔 Which is unusual for someone of my brobdingnagian deciphering capability, plus knowing you as a poster for so long. 🧐 I love still being able to be surprised by my ES peers. 👍😛😁

I try to leach off everyone, regardless of the nature of the relationship. It extends the viability of my own resources. I'm a diehard conservationist. And I am open for business!

The three wins is optimistic. Imo Mariota was a bad pick whether we kept Howell or not. The QB room is shaky other than (hopefully) our shiny toy. If Mariota plays I'll be asking for a refund from the JD Fanboy Association cuz it means Mr. Already A Pro isn't, or his beanpole frame took one of his signature big time hits and broke.🫣 (Just kidding, tone-wise re: JD 😁, but seeing Mariota play would mean bad things and I don't like our back up roster)

This thread is a Hall of Fame of "cool music posters".... You kids still say "cool", right? On topic, read a review of the Hackney tour the Stones have embarked on and it was a great writeup. Until a few years back, I used have this rule that rock artists over sixty need to stop performing live.😁 Cuz rock n roll was for yutes. 👍 I've had to stand down a lot on that, and seeing clips of oldsters touring and performing like mick, ron, and kieth still can doing "start me up" is a primary reason why. To the bad boys who followed the Beatles in Ye Olde British invasion, Salute' . Older Newer

I don't get tired, obviously 😁, of noting that from day one I told TK ron would be one of the worst we've had at hc. Fine human, ho hum at best imo at Carolina despite the award. But even I didn't think he would descend even further in competence or actually check out like he did. On the latter, it's hard to be angry given his health situation and as I always note, I appreciate the personal character he brought to the org. Quinn has already shown he's far better at football than Ron. The lady five years have been so ugly on almost every front, even for this franchise in the Snyder era. We are def going to be ascending the hill instead of repeatedly rolling down it, flailing all the way.

Thank you. I just hid several posts and will be addressing the violations. There have been countless warnings given. Read all rules oriented sticky threads when you see them at the top of the forum and follow the directives per the forum rules as always.

The soulution, sadly imv, isn't doable.
