    Overpassing, not hitting the corners. He's leaving some second chance rebounds there.

    Winston was impressive last year as a rookie. Obviously some ups and downs, but management knew who was responsible for the improvement in Tampa's record when they canned Lovie.

    We either get to Neuvirth early, or settle in for another asshole clencher. If we quadruple their SOG again though, this series ends today.

    Whoa, who has actually said they're better than Winston/Mariota? Also people need to qualify their "ranked highly" statements on these two. It's one thing to say Goff was rated as a top 10 pick, it's quite another for Goff/Wentz to be locks for #1 and #2, with TWO teams trading hauls of...

    But there's a difference between being projected high and being "franchise QB" material. There's QB desperate teams every year, and whoever the top one is, they're going to go relatively high. These aren't RB's we're talking about. Everything I heard through the end of the regular season was...

    Except I was never defending this move. From the start I was looking at the $50M guaranteed like it was the worst thing I ever ate in my life. I'm not going to sit here and say it's not a massive upgrade to our secondary this year, but realistically there's almost no way he exceeds this deal...

    Flyers win a game in which they were out shot 44-11, Wild a couple minutes from elimination but win in OT to go back to Minnesota for Game 6, Isles break streak of losing 11 consecutive Game 5's by winning in Double OT.

    Tonight is just crazy. Isles break their Game 5 streak (had lost 11 straight) in 2OT, Wild/Stars going to OT. Sharks up 3-0 early, but Kings now tie it up 3-3 late in the 2nd.

    Elurin, Convo just wants someone else on his "this move was a GREAT move, you'll see!" train. For me, Norman will have to play top 5 in the league level for at least 4 of those years to justify this. Just worried what this contract will keep us from being able to do next offseason.

    Eh, we beat Halak last year in Game 7. Neuvirth looks like he's ready to crack. Philly didn't even have a single shot attempt in the final 10:11 of the 2nd. No way he can keep this up for another period if we put that much pressure on again...let alone 2 more games.

    Problem is we're going to need to give new deals next year to Reed, Cousins (almost assuredly, as tag a 2nd year in a row the cap number would be insane), and Baker. Now we will have Jackson and Garcon coming off the books though, so that would help.

    Yeah, by basically saying he has to perform at an elite level for the majority of the deal and stay healthy. That much guaranteed leaves you no outs if it goes bad.

    I don't think the $15M per is overpayment, that's easily what he would have gotten elsewhere too. The guaranteed money is massive though.

    Lets be real though, we all agree the guy was the best corner in the game last year. What would it take for this to NOT be a bad deal? Just staying healthy (or mostly healthy) throughout and playing at a high level?

    Vet is a little misleading when it comes to Norman. For instance he's barely older than say, Sherman, but has played one less year. Still, at that age, a 5 year deal with that guaranteed money makes me worry. It's still a massive upgrade.

    Don't mind him bringing to attention the fact that the fighters are underpaid at all. Have serious doubts he's that well liked among the rest of the fighters for him to be the guy holding the standard with a line of guys behind him, though. Also don't think he's wrong about all the...

    I don't know if I saw them projected that low, but the talk was certainly that "if you needed a QB to be a potential franchise guy, this year probably wasn't the year". I feel like they were being projected as late first, or 2nd/3rd depending on how high a team was on a particular guy...

    Convo lets be honest here, for months during the season the commentary on this year's draft was that it was a deep one, but not a great draft for QB's (especially compared to last year's).

    Since when are the Skins in the discussion as one of the teams to beat? Yeah, we won the division last year, but we had to have a lot of things break our way for that to happen. I don't see us being some giant hurdle for another team in the division's record. I'll be happy if we go 8-8 next year.

    He has a history of being a dirty little shit, just none of supplementary discipline. Also, it's not like you're missing Sid and Geno this time for them to come back from 3-1 down.
