We are further away from Bowling For Soup’s 1985 now than we were from 1985 when the song was released in 2004.

You start too many topics. They are random thoughts and not conversation worthy topics. We need some quality control on this board.

Yep. From 2019 to 2023 we have really drafted with a boom or bust mentality. While everyone drafted won’t pan out, I feel like this year and last year we drafted players that have a good chance of contributing as a starter or back-up.

I’m looking forward to seeing what this coach staff can do with guys like Ford, Stutsman, Means, Sanker, Matavao and Diggs.

That’s the garage we use. It’s the same garage the Rosevelt uses for valet, just in and out easier and cheaper.

is it free market when Unions wont allow it to happen naturally?

Yes. Someone else will create a cheaper or more efficient way to do it and people will move to that business.

That’s how free enterprise works. Labor has always been part of the equation.

If you have two restaurants and one pays its employees more than the other, that business either has to have higher prices or less earnings. Maybe it has better food and better service so it does well. Maybe it doesn’t. But people can choose to eat there or not. Maybe they have higher supply cost because they buy better quality food. Same thing apply there. If someone creates an oven that eliminates a job and the other business is able to charge less prices, then they have an advantage. That’s free enterprise.

They tried very hard to hit a lot of singles and doubles, without risking strikeouts for swinging for the fences.

All of the guys have played in or started a lot of games. All have solid production. Most of them were multi-year starters and multi-year captain types. All except Shough were extremely durable with very little time missed for injury.

They NEED young guys to make the team, basically

They said they had 200 countries calling to make deals. There’s not 200 countries in the world! And that includes the Vatican.

I have no problem with automation or technological advancements. My point is that the free market should advance those things.

My reply was to a post that was basically touting dictatorships and bashing unions. I’m not saying that unions don’t come with their own set of problems. But I believe in people having rights, a free market and not a supreme leader that dictates things to workers.

I’m done melting. At least Shough seems like a cool guy. I still think it was a very questionable pick for many reasons but hoping Shuck can prove common sense wrong. God help Mickey and KM if this doesn’t work out

I think you need to just let this play out. Look at San Fran for example. They had Jimmy G who was a serviceable QB. They moved up and traded to get Trey Lance. The next year the drafted Purdy. They took Kurtis Rourke this year. Kansas City took Mahomes even though Alex Smith was the starter.

All that to say, we currently have Carr, Shough, Rattler and Haener. One of those emerges to be our QB this year and they either prove themselves or they don’t. You keep looking for a QB regardless of what happens. We aren’t anointing Shough as the next Tom Brady or anything. A guy by the way who was drafted when they had Drew Bledsoe as the starter.

QB is the most difficult position to project and you don’t know (YOU DON’T KNOW!) who will or won’t work out.
