There you go wanting to cut everybody again. Suggs is 30 years old and in the middle of his prime.
Fire Emblem Update:
There's an official reason for no feet, they didn't include them in the initial modeling stage, because they weren't sure how well to model them, and decided it worked well enough so they didn't add them in later in.
Pretty interesting interview for the fire emblem fans.

Agreed!
I don't like guys off of achilies injuries, especially older guys who like to play a little heavy
Do you not think Indy should have cut Freeney?

Straight out of the Rob Liefeld book of design.

Of course I do, but Freeney is used up. Same with Harrison. Unless he gets the injury bug, Suggs has plenty of use left in him.

Honestly from a design to dollars perspective, did they believe that having no feet would sell more copies? I imagine not modeling them in has costed a few sales because it looks so weird. The game is great so maybe that's what they were banking on but it's really bizarre.

If I weren't playing Monster Hunter I would D/L Fire Emblem right now.

Luckily they didn't take that approach on literally every other aspect of the game!

Squicken is either just a Ravens hater, or a undercover Niner fan, because anyone who could seriously call John "Worstbaugh" has some salt lurking.
I think they are taking the wrong things from it if their laughter is genuine. It seemed lazy and amateurish to me, not funny. I'm not preoccupied with feet, I'm preoccupied with a design decision that screamed: "we're lazy as fuuuuuuuuuuck"

He's just setting the table for next year's Niners squickening.
The King of the Ravens is Ozzie. John is a Field Marshall. Jim Harbaugh is the King of the 49ers, but more than that, he can develop quarterbacks, which only like 3 people in the entire world can do

The Raiders save quite a bit next year (2014 season), somewhere around 10 million

I think it's a fine move for the Raiders since Palmer is a known quantity whereas Flynn may be really good in the right environment (I don't think Oakland is that environment though).
I'm pretty baffled that Palmer can command so much money when we're nearly 7 years removed from that dollar level of production from him.

This is textbook missing the forest for the trees, man. The game is overflowing with content and attention to detail everywhere else.

I don't know....I'd rather a coach that wins Superbowls than one that develops QBs.
Definitely time to move on from Palmer, either by release of trade. I'm just not sure how improved their position is. I thought Flynn did okay last year in the preseason, but he needs things around him to succeed. Maybe the move to a new coordinator will turn things around a bit?
And yet Brian Billick remains unemployed
I already told you how much I love the game! I'm just saying what that one particular (glaring) oversight says.

Haha, I know. I'll admit, the lack of feet is definitely distracting and odd.

Excited to celebrate w/@GenoSmith_12 on 4/25@ the NFL Draft. Geno's the hardest practicing QB & most gifted student of the game I've coached
edit: It's glib, but OAK traded a first and second for 25 games of Carson Plamer and a conditional 7th
w/Palmer now gone, total dead money for Raiders this year is 50 million. Insane

Jim harbaughs team is built on the back of countless years of 49er sucking which led to good first round picks. Ozzie has had 2 years where the ravens have had a good draft pick in the past decade and they were still outside the top 10.
Jim has his front office and the previous teams ineptitude to thank for his success more than anybody in the league.
In opposition to your outlandish claims I offer into evidence his goofy goober face. There is too much ignorance and innocence in that face for him to have had sexual relations with a woman.
I thought we all agreed long ago that Eli was far too shy to ever have sex with a woman and probably fainted at the idea of nudity? I thought we also came to a consensus that Peyton took care of her needs in the bedroom at least until Eli could conquer his crippling fear of nudity and cooties?

It sucks, but it absolutely had to be done. The stink of all those contracts Al gave out as well as the trade Hue did will soon no longer haunt the Raider franchise and they can start to build as a modern day franchise

In light of all that dead money, I'm somewhat surprised they bothered to grab Flynn. He's a cheaper option and potentially better than Palmer but what kind of weapons is he going to have? I had totally forgotten that they went out and got Terrelle Pryor. May as well have given him a shot while they were at it since this season is probably a rebuild year.
Kind of an interesting argument as to who did more damage per day to his organization: Josh McDaniels in Denver or Hue Jackson as coach/GM in Oakland?
I do like what they are doing as far as just taking their medicine this year. Hopefully they don't reach on a QB. It's be great if they could trade down, but it seems like the entire top 10 wants to trade down

Blast of Brown!
Flynn is only 27 and they got him for nothing. It's worth a shot.

I wonder what the Dolphins would have to give up to trade up for Milliner or Lane Johnson?
We did get some serviceable to good players out of McD. Contracts are/were decent outside of overpaid guys like Dumervil. At least he didn't mortgage out the future too far. If anything I would take a few down years, than be associated with cheating. That made me far more angry.

probably just a 3rd and some lower picks, maybe a 2014 future pick?
But if theirs really 3 teams interested a nice bidding war could start up and we could maybe recoup a 2nd. Miami has two 2nds right?

Why aren't the raiders dominant then?
The_Darkest_Red

Yeah. They've got 11 overall so they definitely have some picks to work with if they wanted to go that route. I don't see them trading more than one or two away though, it seems like Ireland has been working hard to secure as many picks as possible for this draft.

AL Davis being a nutjob.
Holy shit that's not his mother? That's his wife?
This whole time...fuck I duped myself.
But they did get much younger. They might believe in Flynn enough to give him a solid shot as being the #1 guy going forward.
And I am sure they restructured his deal good enough that if he falls flat on his face this season they can cut him and draft whoever is on the board next draft.
Can't fault them for letting go of Palmer and gaining Flynn.

where's a gif of the steelers killing pat white? not sure he played another NFL down after that play.

I was hoping everyone had forgotten about that little incident.
Because they have an incompetent front office?? No where did I say the 49ers didn't draft well. I'm saying its because of that drafting that they are currently good. Not because Jim is somehow better than John.
