re: Ace Bailey stock apparently falling bc he is refusing to work out for teams

It would be such a Pels move to draft one of them over Fears or Tre Johnson.

I feel like the draft is gonna be a disappointing as the lottery was. Dumars is gonna do what he does best, frick this up.

The fact this is the shite this franchise is doing, after the season we just had, is symbolic of how lost we are. frick this team.

Dallas is gonna have to blow it up and start a full rebuild around Flagg. Get some talent that fits his window. But knowing Nico, he'll probably trade the #1 pick for Embiid.

This is objectively false. The Divine Liturgy practiced by Eastern Orthodox churches is that of St John Chrysostom, from the 5th century, and that of St Basil, from the 4th century.

I like winning money, so I'll bet the under. Can enjoy making money and locking up a top 3 draft pick next year to get our franchise QB. Win, win.

Posted by RUFshreve on 5/16/25 at 1:54 pm

We're the biggest loser in that trade. I don't see the rationale behind this trade, from our perspective. We get worse, while giving up value (draft picks/swaps), so if we're trying to compete it doesn't make sense and if we're trying to tank, it still doesn't make sense.

Malauch seems like such a Dumars type pick, but I'd be disappointed if that's what we walk away from this draft with after all the talk and hope. Atleast give me Fears, Tre, Queen, etc.. someone who atleast has the potential to become an all-star.

After burning some tape im really liking Maluach. He’s going to be a stretch shooter at some point, too. Mark Williams’ agility for his size is what drew me to him, and I think Maluach moves better

With Joe Dumars here, we all know he's gonna be the pick.

re: Pels royally screwed up firing Griff

Posted by RUFshreve on 5/14/25 at 3:48 pm

Joe Dumars could screw up a top 2 pick. Has before.

Both franchises are a joke. Both are run by the same people.

ETA The FO must have seen something strong to use a second to get him.

I keep saying people say this. The reality is, they knew they didn't have a QB on the roster and didn't have the cap space to sign one, so they drafted one. Ward and Dart were gone in the first, so their options were take Shough or Sanders. They took the better of two bad options. It's not a shining endorsement.

It was a rigged lottery. They choose the top 4, they have every year.

No we don't. He is the new coaches handpicked selection. I'm giving him a chance because Coach Moore did also

Yes he has the chosen QB by Moore, among the available QBs, in a terrible QB draft. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

When Moore took the job and went over the roster with Loomis, they obviously agreed we didn't have a NFL caliber QB on the roster. They didn't have cap space to get one. So their only option was drafting one. Cam Ward wasn't an option, so they got to choose from Dart, Sanders and Shough.

If Dart would've been there at 40, he would've likely been the pick but wasn't available. So who was left?

A smart kid, with 7 years of college experience, who had good intangibles but didn't preform well in college, or an ego-maniac who thinks he's the hottest thing since his dad and had the worst interviews in the modern draft era, but put up big numbers in college.

It's obvious Shough was the one to choose. It doesn't mean they are in love with as a prospect and see him as the future. It just means they were between a rock and a hard place and felt they made the best available choice, with the options they had.

This is a lame troll attempt. Dude got bailed out by a QB who hated being here, so he retired.

They're not gonna pass the opportunity to get a legit franchise QB next April. They'll just have to admit their mistake and cut their losses.

It'll prove how short sighted the pick was, but it would be alot worse if they doubled down and passed on a Nuss or Manning.
