JJ is typically used on the outside, Cobb has most practical use in the slot (where Driver has been used as of late).
I just don't why they'd trade him.
After this season after they test out Gurley? Perhaps. Not now though.

The only reason we resigned JJones last year because Buckethead demanded it and Ted felt bad. Well I've got my shares Ted, and I want Cobb in his spot!
Look at those eyes. He's ready.He's got a full offseason this year, I expect magic from him.
And I think we've got so much up and coming talent at WR it's time to give them a chance. Plus maybe we can add a value piece in return for Jones at a position we need more than WR. Nelson asserting himself and solidifying the #2 spot makes this mostly a nonissue for me anyway. This time last year when we were having this discussion\ it was a different story because neither of them really stood out above the other.

I rarely feel strongly about draft picks, but I so wanted the Rams to take him over Kendricks. The Rams had awful coaching so maybe he gets better with Fisher, but last year he was a waste, and the Rams had nothing in their return game

Rams have gone from awful to mediocre coaching. You will double your win total though

Jordy was our #1 last year Legendary old buddy old pal.
We're not going to have 5 TEs on the roster this year so I don't see it being about a roster spot either.
Speaking of the Packers, I'm excited to see Devon Hourse and the good doctor MD Jennings. Supposedly they've both grown a lot and lord knows we need someone who isn't Chuckles Peprah at Safety.

I don't see 7 wins on your schedule even if things go your way. Sorry bruh
Harbaugh improved us by 7 games last year but he is the greatest coach to come into the nfl since bill walsh. Jeff fisher isn't in harbaughs league and neither are any of your assistants equal to ours. A 3 game improvement for the rams would be incredible for them. You haven't added any good talent anywhere and your best qb isn't even starting

The defense should actually be quite improved. Going from DBs off the street to players with talent will be huge. Bradford becomes a top 10 QB and 7 wins is possible. I don't ever think Bradford will develop the pocket presence to be a good QB but might as well spend the offseason hoping for the best.

Straight up, finances and everything else included, I choose PSN. Its free and gets you essentially the same online experience as anything else.
Assuming that all of my PSN buddies could magically travel with me and XBL didnt cost 50 bucks a year or whatever, sure, I would choose Live.
Just pub stomp with Ursa until you understand the game.
Rush Vlads, only level w and e until 6 and worst case you should have Vlads and normal boots by level 9 at which point you can easily solo Roshan. Make sure you time the spawns (10 minutes after he dies). Get phase boots, blink dagger and the hammer that gives you stun chance. Once you stop winning all the time learn to play a real hero.
If we're ever on at the same time sure!
New strategy:
-Pick Chaos Knight
-Treads > Armlet > Helm of the Dominator > Manta > AC or Heart > Heart or AC > Satanic
-Win
The game is probably over by the time you get Manta, though. He's a godly pubstomper along with Ursa and Lycan. Plus, he looks cool! Almost as cool as Matt Flynn in the best jersey in the NFL throwing for 50 TDs this season.
Not that it changes much, but there's no reason to pay 60 when you can pay 50 and withhold your CC.
Big Ben is going to be a father and got his Bachelor's degree?

The NFL morals are out of balance.

Son, your boy is good, but he's not even the best coach in his own family tree.
Hey Mike, nobody is going to cry for you.
Maybe if he wasn't such an ass QB, he would be higher. Still relating to the list, Desean Jackson over Hakeem Nicks, lol. In yo dreams.

Or when you can pay 35. I haven't paid full price in years. Every month there's a deal for Xbox Live for 45 or less. Vastly prefer Live as well.

The fact that Pikmin has mp and coop but they are both local only is totally insane. It really does make me wonder what Nintendos plan is for the WiiU. It is really feeling like Wii 2.0 right now. It is going to have achievements but they wont be mandatory? That is such bullshit.
XBL is light years ahead of PSN still. I can chat with friends while we play different games on XBL, I get download speeds that are above 56k on XBL also, they are constantly adding new features/services to XBL. I love what Sony is doing with PS+ nothing matches that but for just playing online games and connecting to friends XBL is much better. I have been playing a ton of Just Cause 2 since I got it for free from PS+, and damn that game is awesome. I cant believe I waited so long to play it.
^ PSN had MLB.tv two years before Live. PSN has Sunday Ticket.
Your arguments are invalid.

So the "value" is that MS has convinced you and your dumb friends that you have to pay $60/month to play online games and shit like Netflix when there are comparable alternatives that do the same thing for free? This is why I hate having discussions with gamers because as a whole we are not that smart and are pretty irrational.
I don't really care if people spend their money on Xbox Live. Like I said I waste money on lots of dumb shit myself (buying a new MBA this weekend!) and as long as you can afford it and are not starving your kids or going into debt then it is your money, do with it as you please. But lets not act like it has any value to it or that it is not a complete ripoff. Even for the original Xbox when they charged for online gaming, I got the same shit for free on Dreamcast and then on PS2 (which admittedly was gimped as shit).

I dont understand why you are having a hard time understanding this, it isnt that people are dumb it is that the online experience on 360 is much better. It is easier to coordinate on 360, you can just do party chat with your friends no matter what game they are playing, you know that everyone on 360 ha a headset so talking isnt a problem, XBL just runs smoother which is a big deal to people. I cant tell you how many times I get network timed out errors in mp games on the PS3. The 360 gets DLC first in almost every single case. There are lots of reasons to prefer the 360 for mp gaming, and the price just isnt a big enough barrier to overcome all the pros of the service.

Having to pay for for online gaming?
PSN > Live.
Nintendo's never gonna embrace online gaming themselves. Don't know what they have against it.

I guess I don't game enough online but I honestly never had a any problems with my PS3 or Dreamcast playing with friends. The PS2 was pretty shit, but I don't know if that was the console, netcode or my connection. I don't think I ever played a game online with the Wii, but I could be wrong about that. Been awhile since I turned it on.
I still think it is a ripoff, but hey maybe I am wrong.

You're not wrong. It is a ripoff. Problem is gamers are idiots who are being spoonfed garbage but still eat it up.
Weird that I can do all of this on the PC and no one charges me money for it.
Console gamers lololol
That isn't a new phenomenon.
Part of me wants to become a handheld only gamer. I wonder if the 3DS is going to live up to the DS? I think I will wait for the XL version though even though kid icarus and Mario beckon...

I'd wait. 3D Land is awesome though.
I've gotten to the point where there are certain games i'll only play on handheld, so the 3DS/iPad are a must for me.

I have a gaming pc but I have no interest in playing mp games on it. XBL is perfect for what it does and I can afford the $50 a year that it costs.

Even though I am a huge Apple whore I never got an iPad and have no inclination to. As I get older and my free time dwindles something about handhelds really appeals to me. I think one of the most appealing things about them is that I can get in and out of a game in a few seconds (even faster when in sleep). The updates and long load times really turn me off for consoles these days. Especially the updates on PS3 which feel like a punishment.
The one thing I don't like about the 3DS is the 3D. The effect is cool but not something I am into and I never used it that much when I played around on it. Vita seems pretty boss but I am not sure the games will be there. I was really impressed with the hardware when I played around with it. In the end I will have to buy a 3DS because that gets Fire Emblem, even though I could care less about the 3D.

I play mostly shooters and I wont use moue and keyboard to play games so that makes console a better choice for me. I tried playing Battlefield 3 on PC but it does feel like playing with a controller puts you at a disadvantage.

I just wont use a mouse and keyboard to play a game. It just isnt fun to me. I tried a few times and I dont like it. I undertand it is an advantage for some types of games but it takes away from the fun for me. I dont want a keyboard in my lap while playing and I cant sit up on my coach for long amounts of time. I think controllers work fine as long as everyone has one.
I feel the same way as him nowadays. Although, I'm simply not as serious about gaming in general overall.
Weird.

I understand where you're coming from.
I feel the same way about the Dual analog on console. I won't play a FPS with Dual analog anymore. Wiimote or bust.

I have a friend that is the same way, he only wants to play shooters on the PS3 with Move.
He must not play many games.
Over the last few months I have been bullied by my friends to upgrade my computer so I could actually play PC games. Last night I played Left 4 Dead 2 for the first time ever. Was pretty fun.
Was a bit hard getting used to using a keyboard and mouse but it was still fun. Although I refuse to become a PC gamer...at least until I get myself a more comfortable chair.

Hook it up to your TV via HDMI, get a decent KB/M lap table and get the "comfy couch" experience that some console gamers think is a myth in the PC world.Kave Man said:
I actually agree. May be mostly from getting used to it, but I've never had as much fun playing with KB/mouse. It's objectively faster/more accurate, but it's subjectively less fun.
I also have a general hate for PCs right now after my experiences with trying to restore my notebook after a crashed HDD. I'm in some ways a MS fanboy, but some aspects of their systems are just plain stupid.

I play primarily on PC...and who cares what input device someone prefers? Talk about grognard shit in 2012. Controllers are the preferable control method on almost all games now anyway, even on PC because that's how the market is. There's only a handful of games that are markedly better with kb/m these days.
Controller + PC = Heaven

I took me a while to get my controller to work the way I wanted it to, but Mass Effect 2 on PC with controller was fantastic. I just wish more games were like the Witcher 2 that support the controller right out of the box.
