I think Brady and Gronk would take another paycut for a chip.

i hope the niners sign him for two reasons:
1. he is better than any CB we have even though i don't think norman is some elite CB
2. i want york to have more money spent out of his pocket and i dont give a fuck who it is that gets the money so long as he is having to spend it
Nah. Gronk want to get paid again after he saw what people were getting this offseason.

gronk is that you!?
FMT!! Game of thrones in only 4 days!! We watching it together or what!!
It's rare for the Bills to draft a player that hasn't come in for a visit. It's even rarer for them to not take someone from the ACC, I swear that area scout has more clout than anyone, so I'm tempted to put down Shaq Lawson's name. ACC, pass rusher is a need, and he came in for a visit. But you know what, fuck that, they need another weapon. They've emphasized speed, but I believe they have a guy on the board that doesn't need speed to kill a D. First off they have 1 WR signed going into 2017, 1 worth a shit anyway. It's a need position, they will draft one early, so even though they've spent a bunch of picks on WR they still need someone opposite Sammy. That someone is Doctson, he's a no brainer pick.
He's a fucking eraser, your QB makes a bad throw, don't worry Doctsons got him. He attacks the rock like a basketball, arms extended, give me that shit bitch it's mine type of attitude. Has played with a mobile QB and knows how to freelance when the play breaks down. I can't emphasize enough how WRs didn't come back to the ball for Tyrod, Doctson does this all the time, I think it's part of his BBall instincts. If you want the rock, get open, don't just stand around and wait. He's a good enough route runner, and his size creates separation. I wish he's there and I wish they have the balls to take him, because this, to borrow from Farooq, is an Ozzie choice.
Or they can take a DL like Lawson or Vernon Butler.

Yeah, he's pretty good, like Patrick Peterson-tier, and if you have the money you might as well spend it.
I just don't think he's worth that.

yes! my body is ready!
damn, i hope we never have to play the raiders/michael crabtree again then
also, we have $60 mil in cap space and no one good to pay on the horizon anyways. i say overpay him!
He might have been the reason for hiring the Syracuse head coach.
Doubt it. Gronk hasn't even got his big payday yet. He has one monster contract left.

Sorry to derail but has anyone had a chance to play Battleborn or overwatch? Both look kinda cool, mainly interested in Overwatch
Chip has a real rigid profile of who can play CB for him. He likes press man corners with length. Norman wouldn't seem to have the speed Chip likes
Been in the Overwatch closed beta since Oct. It's fun as hell. Especially if you like shooters like TF2 or Quake. If you are more of a CoD fan, it may take some getting used to.
Open beta starts in a couple weeks, so you can try it for yourself then.

I know it's hurtful now, but You'll have life after Squicken. We've all had him :/
Awesome, can't say I was huge into TF2 as I was a console gamer. Only played alittle of orange Box. I was a big Shadowrun fan though if that compares?
Any of you guys done any extension electrical work on a house recently? What does a modern home have? Is laying network cable all through the house worth it?
Doug Pelerson and Howie Loseman drew first blood. I'll hope for good things but I can't cheer for them week to week.

Overwatch looks fun. I'm not really into competitive multiplayer games outside of fighting games, but I'm probably gonna have a lot of fun doing and saying dumb shit with friends.
I'm right there with you, I'd love for us to overpay Norman (we ain't fucking spending the money on anyone else), but I see about a 5% chance of that happening. Has Baalke ever signed a big name CB? We signed Nnamdi after he was significantly washed up, but that don't count.

None of those players will help the Eagles though.
Can we definitively say that Andy Reid was the sole reason for the Eagles success? (and to some extent, Chip Kelly before he was given free reign over the roster)
Or at the least, that Howie Roseman doesn't know what the fuck he is doing. How do you give Bradford $18 million and not look to him as your future QB? Why not just sign Daniels?
Does anyone (outside of Pepiope) actually think Bradford is significantly better than Daniels? Especially given he's going into another new offensive system?

1. JNCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC at the Eagles trade. Jesus the Rams and Eagles are dumb. These are not the QBs you trade the farm for. I saw Pep was in denial earlier thinking they aren't drafting a QB at 2. Poor guy.
2. Panthers losing Norman is great, a sizable blow to one of the better teams in the conference and in a year where we play them (besides playoffs). I'm surprised they didn't shop him on a franchise tag, surely the Jags would sniff and they have the capital to keep him afterwards. The Niners and Jags are the obvious choices for most likely candidate and while I wouldn't be concerned with the Niners getting him as they are trash all around, I'd prefer he not go to a division rival. I'd say he's in the second tier of CBs.
3. FFS, Bionic! I just brought up you getting yourself banned this very day! I guess we'll have to get your draft reactions late.
4. On behalf of this degenerate insular community, thank you for fighting for us, Xia. It's appreciated.
5. Man some of you guys are reaching in this mock...

Who was signed like weeks after FA started and was thought of as not really great. He had one good year with us and that was it. But yeah, I think you're right.
Never played Shadowrun. Is it more arcade style? Overwatch is very much a fast-paced, arcade shooter. Not at all like the tactical shooters that have been so ubiquitious the past 5 years or so.
One thing that is also different about it is it is completely objective focused. There's no death match mode, only team objectives. And just running around killing people isn't going to be helping your team much. You have to be capturing or defending the objectives. It's almost like a MOBA, in that regard. That plus the emphasis on different characters fulfilling different roles and a balanced comp being needed to win leads it to being compared to MOBAs quite a bit, actually.

he signed a vet minimum contract i think. the last big name CB i can remember the niners signing was clements. i am having trouble remembering ANY cb's we signed period over the years. i know we signed chris cook a couple years back. then we signed shareece wright last offseason. beyong those two i can't really think of anyone at CB that we have signed in recent years.
i guess baalkes philosophy is: after 10 seconds of no pass rush, all CB's in the nfl are equal so why spend money on them!

Hi. So yeah, I'm new to NFL-Gaf. Just call me Vaal, I've been a Bears fan for all my life because everyone in my family are Cowboys fan, and I hated the Cowboys when I was little.
That Eagles trade, oof.

How do you feel about anime and Uggs?
I cannot argue against that line of reasoning. Welcome.
Look, Baalke is of the opinion that he can draft CB's in the 4th-7th rounds every draft and eventually some of them will pan out. Or he'll draft a fucking safety in the first and try to convert him to a nickle corner (we were like 2 picks away from Varrett, who I do not think we would've grabbed even if he did fall to us). God his philosophy towards CBs is fucking infuriating. When was the last time our CB crew was actually great and not just being propped up by the front 7? They were debateably great in 2011 and pretty mediocre in 2012.

Yes. Lurie was right in Reid, and I think on Chip but pulled plug too fast to really know. Joe Banner and Roseman were also both ahead of the curve as far as contracts go
This is the scary part for Philly. The magin for error on draft picks is lower now. Howie has to have a higher hit % than the rest of the league b/c he has fewer picks. Howie is good on contracts. Not at picking players
Obviously the trade is good is Wentz is a stud. But that doesn't mean that Howie can't take heat for wasting money on Bradford. He could have Cox locked up right now with another guard on the roster. It's a big mistake. He needs to trade Bradford for whatever he can get. They've already paid him $11m, so whoever takes him would have him cheap

Anime is pretty cool and Uggs are okay I guess.
Me and my brother (Cowboys Super Fan) are going to the Week 3 game in Arlington we live 4 hours away from Dallas. I REALLY hope that Cutler isn't already hurt before that game.

Speaker wire yes.. ethernet cable no. Unless your home is thick poured concrete or you're an anal online gamer, WiFi technology has evolved enough to cover your entire home easily with few drops.
wtf how can you start the scale at 8!? i thought i could trust you, scooter.
no honest person would rate him below a 10
