Yeah, i love old grizzled vets. I was hoping that is what McV would do.

I mean, what choice did they have, really?

He’s still a ? due to the health issue, of course.

I love the fact that the CENTER is familiar with the system. Having said that, i hate the fact that McV didnt want this guy — he wanted the Buffalo guy. Even though this guy knows the system. Still, he’s a good plan-B.

Now they can go BPA with their picks.

Well if they draft a RB with their top pick or next pick, we’ll
know they aint sold on TG.

I just think this is a team of question marks (as per usual):
Goff is a ?
Gurley is a ?
Quinn is a ?
GRob is a ?
Center is a ?
WRs are a ?
TEs are a ?
Saffold is always a ?
Tavon is a ?
McV is a ?
CB is a ?

The only non-?s for me are Wade Phillips and Aaron Donald. Maybe Ogletree.

Why didnt we evolve more eyeballs? I would think it would be an advantage.

Because we invented marriage at about the same time.

Well how do spiders handle the marriage thing then?

I’m not worried about moving Havenstein to guard and GRob to RT. That could become a pretty good tandem to run behind. Worst case scenario – it doesn’t work out so you switch them back (GRob to guard, Havenstein to RT).

Hard to get too excited about any of this until they get a center though.

Well, wv-ram is, like, TOTALLY worried about Hav at guard and Grob at Tackle.

I dont think Hav is a guard and i dont think GRob is a Tackle. But what do i know. Apparently the OLine coach thinks he’s a miracle-worker. Or else the organization just feels stuck personnel-wize.

Well my first reaction is…this is going to be a disaster.

But then i have to remind myself that they know more about football
than i do, so…

I was watching a tv when Trump was yapping about the defeat of trumpcare
and i was thinking that this is the first time I’ve really thought to myself….even his supporters are gonna see through him on this one. His ‘schtick’ just wasnt very convincing on this one.

Governing is starting to create cracks in his teflon.

The Chargers belong in San Diego.

Moving them will anger the old Gods and new.

That is from The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. A great play. It’s about something else. But I want it to be about this. “We are what we always were in Salem….”

Humans. At best, we’re hypocrites. At worst, well….

I listened to the Crucible on an audio-CD in my car.

And I can’t help but wonder, if the 9ers had the best record in the league, if they wouldn’t have gone ahead and watched them while complaining about Kapernick.

People compromise with stuff they don’t like all the time if it gets them to a larger goal.

When that compromise is not going to get you to your goal, it is a lot easier to make that point of compromise the “straw” that broke the camel’s back.

Yup. The Steeler fans hate big ben…but they love big ben. If ya know what i mean.

I have no idea, but my wild-speculation iz — its mostly just that player evaluation experts think he’s no longer a decent QB.

Teams seem to have figured him out, and he wasn’t able to adjust.

If Tom Brady or Russell Wilson joined the Black Panthers and burned the American Flag on Oprah, i think teams would still sign them.
But if a mediocre or role player did the same thing — then yeah, the powers-that-be might make an ‘example’ of em.
Kapernik just aint a bigtime talent anymore. I wouldnt want him. And i love running QBs
