BLU-RAY Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Wait is Alexis gone? Or is her in a ponytail causing late onset facial blindness? (I kid but it actually a semi-serious question. When I switched out the avatar, half the time it still showed the old one...or maybe to you none at all?) No double meaning. But that line has been emblazoned in my brain ever since I liked Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah on Pandora and now every third song is some cover of it. Anyway on Cam, he looks like a force of nature whenever I see him so I'm a believer.Y'ever notice all that talk of fake smiles and work ethic fell off after he had that likable turn in that commercial with that little kid who was gonna take his job? I stand by the notion that the only thing that can stop Cam Newton...is Cam Newton. Well that and a Panthers receiving corps that is Steve Smith and the cast of Good Times. Steve Smith's great but he really shouldn't be your team's best offensive weapon for an entire decade. BTW how about this recent draft record for Carolina: 2011 - Cam Newton - Offensive Rookie of the Year2012 - Luke Kuechly - Defensive Rookie of the Year2013 - Star Lotulelei - Defensive Rookie of the Year (Likely anyway. As far as I can tell it's between him, Sheldon Richardson and Tyrann Mathieu) Kuechly has graduated to being a legit DPOY candidate this year. And if they ever get Cam a better weapon than a 34 year old 5'9" receiver with a Napoleonic complex he'll likely be in the OPOY/MVP conversation in the coming years. She's back! Hallelujah. (See what I did there?) I think Kal is right about Kiko Alonso - who is apparently Hispanic, as it turns out (half Cuban, half-Columbian, who knew?). I think Lotulelei *should* win it (and man, that guy was a fucking beast in college, wow) but I think Alonso has both 1) been very good (one of the two or three best defensive rookies) and 2) has looked flashy as hell so far (remember that diving play at the line of scrimmage earlier this season?). He has those four picks, a billion tackles, and he flies around like crazy. Now, sometimes he does that because he's subtly out of position, but, hey, it looks awesome. As you can see above, Dante has no problems engaging in the insults and trash talk.I'd be mad too if a shithole franchise outplayed my team on Monday night football If you must rant about it, dude, could you do it over PM? Tiresome. Jace - do we think they're putting Harvin Marrison in the hall? I guess Ray Lewis is going to get in, so he will also... Also, unless you own a Colts' jersey at every position (which would be nuts, but hey, more power to you), why go for RB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for my jerseys: I bought a Marvin Harrison home jersey in 2002, then a Reggie Wayne, then a Peyton Manning, then an Edggerrin James, then Brandon Stokely, then Dwight Freeney, then Jeff Saturday, then Bob Sanders, then Dallas Clark, then Joesph Addai, then Robert Mathis. So, I've hit the most elite prospects at various positions (no Tarik Glenn, sadly) and I need to update that RB jersey otherwise it will be incomplete!

Btw, congrats (condolences?) on picking up the guy that couldn't make the cut on the Steelers.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Cam is a playoff win or two away from people asking "is he elite"........

Lightning Lord Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Booo! Way to burst my bubble! I read that he ran a 4.3 forty, so... Given the state of the Steelers these days, especially their O-line, I'd say there's a good chance Rainey will be better in Indy than in Pitt. Granted, that's faint praise, but might as well hope? :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Lord Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Jace, do you intend to update your QB jersey? I'd say that Luck is a safer bet than Rainey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanteGabriel Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Donald Brown's stock is rising, by virtue of being the alternative to Richardson. He did a decent job for me in fantasy last week. You could even sew a "Damn it Donald!" patch above the name patch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck is 1) Not done enough 2) He's too trendy right now. Marshall Faulk if you're looking for another RB. Or you could go all ironic and get Trent 3.0... Faulk was before my time, but it's looking like I'm gonna hold out another year and then make the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 She's back! Hallelujah. (See what I did there?)

He has those four picks, a billion tackles, and he flies around like crazy. Now, sometimes he does that because he's subtly out of position, but, hey, it looks awesome. Yeah there's definitely some Polamalu in him. My burning hatred for Marrone besides (he's such a dick to fantasy owners he's now vulturing TDs from his original vulture), I'm happy to see the Bills hit such an unqualified home run with him (in the second round no less). Every other recent high round pick seems to have some monkey paw to it. CJ Spiller is a sick talent...but Darren McFadden called and wants his career back Marcell Dareus flashes at times....but every other top 7 pick in the 2011 draft is now a superstar except him Stephen Gilmore feels like he'll be a legit star in this league...except his arm has enough metal in it to be designed by Skynet. EJ Manuel's TD:INT ratio is 4x better than Geno Smith...but doesn't Jameis Winston's season ruin any enjoyment of EJ Manuel? I mean isn't it like buying a palm pilot right before the iPhone came out? I don't know, just my outsider's take. How are fans feeling about Eej? But Kiko Alonso that's gotta be pure joy. And the flashiest thing in Buffalo since the K-Gun. *Thus fulfilling my community service requirement of one Bills post a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime L Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 For those interested in more in-depth film study analysis: FO Film Study breaks down Kaepernick/Newton - Long story short: Newton is far more of an advanced/polished passer at this stage. It's something he doesn't get enough credit for. Kaepernick is the more accurate passer of the two but still locks onto his first read way too much (something I think that RGIII struggles with as well). Matt Waldman breaks down Bobby Rainey - Basically he runs like the anti-Trent Richardson. The Browns deserve credit for fleecing the Colts on TR 3.0, but could be they end up looking pretty foolish letting Bobby Rainey go in favor of Chris Ogbayanna and Willis McGahee, two of the most vanilla/nothing backs in football. Winston may be the second coming of Fat Ben Rapelissberger in more ways than one ;)ETA: forgot the linkhttp://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10009077/dna-analysis-matches-jameis-winston-accuser The whole story depresses me.
