Don't worry, I fully understand coach speak. I fully understand players don't say anything negative to regarding teammates. I also know you can listen to what isn't said or look at the context the comment was given in before completely dismissing it.

I also know you quote player and coach words as if they were gospel in your "arguments" when they support your position, and dismiss them out of hand them when they don't.

You certainly are magnanimous in your self appointed mission to rescue this board from all us dumb homers with your special brand of "truth." Get over yourself.



Let me guess. Teddy pulled your credentials, so now he is the anti-Christ.

I say you and others because I have been in the business for 20 plus years.

The 1st THING I always tell my new people is when going for a story, ask stupid questions and you will get stupid answers, ask incredibly stupid questions and you will be shown the door!
Someone learned that lesson the hard way!
😄😄😄😄😄

Back on topic, I like what I am hearing so far, not only with Adams, but just the overall crispness of the practices.
Seems this team is focused from top to bottom to make the coming year something special.

Let's start talking some numbers. If Davante is truly this star we keep hearing he is he will obviously have a much better season than he had last year when he was anything but a star. He didn't even look like a star in the making to me whereas Randall, Greg, Javon, etc. surely did.

What are your expectations based off what you've READ because you haven't seen anything but quotes.

Tell me what is going to prove to you that all this hype is warranted? I say nothing less than 70 receptions with an average reception of 14 or more. That puts him to very close to a thousand yard season at 14.0 per grab. Throw in 8 or more TD's, too. Hey, the kid's a star...Randall didn't get this much love from Rodgers back then and he didn't even get it in the recent quote that spoke to Woodson, Peppers, and Greg Jennings have that confidence that Davante has. Oh, but Rodgers did say when all was said and done RC18 would be Ted Thompson's best draft pick. I guess Aaron was dissing himself because he's such an accurate gauge when he gives quotes?

BTW, I left the business when I learned the only places for me to go to grow were NY and LA. I didn't want to live in either city. Was never fired from anywhere. The Best Damn Sports Show was the last place to seriously pursue me and I did some work for BEYOND THE GLORY there at Fox from my home because I didn't want to live there. I probably got to work directly with one of Buck's heroes...Pete Rose. It is a different world, Buck, or maybe not in Lima?

Oh, if you're referring to me, I don't care either. I am curious, though... Are you a Pete Rose fan?

Amen, wideside! Oh, and that 5th rounder was one we traded up for!

I just wish these crazy hype trains would get derailed. It's one thing if you actually believe it based on what you've seen and completely different if you're getting all hyped up from reading quotes.

Real football...soon!

Unlike your love for Janis, which is completely rational.

The only thing that will get in his way of those numbers is sharing the ball with Jordy, Cobb, Richard Rodgers, Eddie Lacy and whoever emerges.

That's an excuse right there. He's already sharing the ball with those guys to begin with...did last year. The one who emerges absolutely has to be Davante, right? He's the star. If anyone besides him emerges then Davante is NOT a star.

I think he should hit AT LEAST 70 receptions...that is a ground floor. 8 TD's and 900+ yards. He's a STAR. MVP of OTA's...Aaron has put him in the Peppers, Woodson, Greg Jennings category.

Crazy hype train on Janis? No. I haven't a clue if the kid will catch one ball for us this year or more than Davante...I just KNOW he has more attributes to him than Davante and should be a better player if he gets it.

How about this: let's compare Janis's numbers to Adams'.

A star is a star... what is Richard Freaking Rodgers or Andrew Quarless going to emerge? OR...Do you fear Janis! 🤣

Ha ha...yes, let's compare a guy who got to play in garbage time and got 2 receptions to the high draft pick who got to play all year. Sounds fair.

In fact, YOU are the one who is qualifying, by saying Davante only gets to play because of his draft status. So yeah, didn't think you'd stand behind what you said.
