I look at him as a poor man's Andy Dalton. Which isn't much but I guess when you've been searching for so long you take what you can get. Pretty much how I see him, too. It's weird, just reading the NFL subreddit, you'd think Miami just locked up a young Marino.

Lol. Am I the only one who doesn't get the Tannehill hype?

Yay, an article about LoZo that isn't about his freaking childhood.
Great dude with a tremendous story, but my God, how many articles about his story do we need before we get an article about him as a player? Geez, he even said that number of foster homes the media was talking about wasn't even accurate.

I was going to bring that up last night, but didn't want to give SAR any credit. I think he used a star analogy, something along the lines of the brightest stars burn out the fastest. That's exactly what happened. Haha, hard to admit but SAR nailed it on Rex about 3 years ago. That horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach when you realize Scott was......*gulp*........right.

While I agree for the most part, let's not forget that this team is totally revamped from last year's squad. The talent level of this team has seen an incredible boost. If we were going in with the same squad as last year, I'd say it's a huge leap to say we'll win 9 games with these QBs. But, considering just how drastically different the team is this year, I personally don't think it's a big leap at all, and while I'm not exactly expecting 9 wins, I don't think it's out of the question at all. And, typically, I'm more of a pessimist. So, gather from that what you will. I don't know how anyone could expect, or be okay with, six wins this year after all the moves in FA and the draft (including upgrades at QB), while at hte same time think 4 wins was underachieving last year. I don't know how those two views can be reconciled. Honestly, I don't believe the two are reconcilable at all. We've got Wilk, Sheldon, Revis, Cro, Harris, Leo, B-Marsh, Decker, Kerley, Ivory, Brick, Mangold and decency in Fitz. If that is only worth 6 wins, then we should all give up on football until we draft the next Rodgers/Brady/Brees.

And, typically, I'm more of a pessimist. So, gather from that what you will. I'll be pissed that we don't turn around a .500 or better season but I'm not ready to put money on it as a prediction...yet. Once I see what's being done with the QB position I'll be a lot more comfortable enjoying my usual optimism for a new season. Generally I think it's stupid to be throwing down predictions this early whether it's 6 wins or 16. Honestly, I'm not super comfortable with making predictions yet, either. The team looks real solid right now, but the Jets always find a way. Just looking at the schedule, I can see it playing out like this. BROWNS W@ COLTS LEAGLES LNS DOLPHINS WREDSKINS W@ PATRIOTS W@ RAIDERS WJAGUARS WBILLS W@ TEXANS WDOLPHINS LNS GIANTS WTITANS W@ COWBOYS LPATRIOTS W@ BILLS L

It's ultra homer to predict 9 wins? Setting the the bar real low aren't you? Right now we have a complete question mark at QB in which our present options include Geno, Fitzpatrick, Simms, Heaps and Petty. Two guys who haven't done wondrous as a starter, one guy who has been nothing but a third stringer and two rookies and out of the lot Fitzpatrick is probably the best. So as it stands right now, in May, it's quite a leap to pitch an argument that we are going to have more than twice as many wins next year.

Really don't even care. Whether they did or not, who gives a shit when FA was a whole 5 minutes away from starting?

Can't teach a mediocre coach good tricks.
I think that's how the saying goes.

He's pretty much right, though. Brady's biggest crime in this whole thing isn't the deflating of balls, it's blatantly lying about the whole thing to the league's face and thinking he could get away with it. The douche thinks he's above the rules and got sat the fuck down and told, "No, you're not. If you want to circumvent our rules, we'll humble you and your team.".

Honestly, it's funny that the NFL caught them cheating again, recognized that, suspended one of their player's for conduct detrimental to the league, and those trophies still won't have asterisks next to them. Yeah, funny. Ha ha ha ha ha. Hilarious. How does the NFL look itself in the mirror every morning, or go to sleep at night? > implying the NFL cares about integrity VTN, you crack me up.

That 4 games won't stand. It'll probably be reduced to 2, sadly.

Cowboys, Ravens, Bengals, Browns, and numerous other teams participated in this as well. Who cares, anyway? Military worship is silly, and doesn't change the fact these sports teams are businesses. If you think anyone in business does anything nice just to be nice, you're a fool. It's not worship, it's appreciation. It's no more silly than worshipping football players.Some people dream of playing pro ball, I dreamed of serving my country. Military people are no better than anyone else IMO, it does not mean people can't respect what they do and the sacrifice they make. Which, itself, is pretty stupid, too. Either way, this country goes so overboard with the ball-washing of the military - as though being a soldier automatically makes them a person worthy of adoration and respect. If this country actually wanted to show appreciation for GOOD soldiers, instead of silly little ceremonies during sports games, they should try fixing the freaking VA and not leave these guys buried under mountains of paperwork that never even get looked at - effectively leaving veterans hanging around with their dicks in their hands hoping their medical issues sort themselves out because that's more likely than the VA ever getting shit done. Oh, or maybe instead of deploying these guys out into the fucking desert to do nothing but sit on their hands because they aren't being given a job to do while they're there, and waiting around for fucking ISIS, maybe they could be like, "Oh, you've already put in your service? You've already deployed numerous times? Oh, your term is almost up anyways and you've got a fiancee and kids waiting at home for you? Yeah, sure, go ahead and stay home". But, no, they tell 'em to suck a dick and get bent. But, hey, at least one random soldier got honored at a football game. That makes it all worthwhile.
