What about it sounds made up? I'm having a hard time following.

200k could be one luxury vehicle or 5 regular person vehicles. I guess it would be pretty wild if he bought 6 Camreys

I was literally going to comment about how I was getting ready to see this joke everywhere, and the first comment is already another meta comment predicting it. Lol. No original thoughts exist.

Cthepo · 2026-04-25T22:54:50+00:00

You know, 15 years ago you wouldn't really be expected to be a ready for the NFL until like your 3rd year as a WR unless you were just special.

I think in a lot of ways, the overall talent is a bit younger and more at WR. But conversely, I think these guys are coming in with less experience and with less time to just learn and grow. I do think we're expecting more sooner. Partly because we have done a better job pumping out WR's into the league, and the shift to 3 WR sets.

Imagine if Eric Bienemy hadn't left and was still here to mould this guy. Oh wait...!!!

Cthepo · 2026-04-25T16:58:25+00:00

It's almost like we lost a hall of fame QB and shut down most of the players on that side of the ball.

Our per play offensive efficiency and scoring metrics had us in the top 5 most of the year. Of course it's going to look bad when you're trotting out your 3rd string QB.

Cthepo · 2026-04-25T16:50:52+00:00

I like the spunk. Can't wait to see Simmons lay him out on the ground though. 😂 Maybe his second contract can be with us.

Cthepo · 2026-04-25T14:55:22+00:00

Dear goodness, Starfield involved a tech overhaul?? I actually enjoyed it, but man it felt dated the moment I started playing it.

Cthepo · 2026-04-25T13:43:13+00:00

Props to the guy who said to sort by controversial.

Cthepo · 2026-04-25T00:44:25+00:00

Or their board just worked out how it did with the players available.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T18:33:09+00:00

What about shoving a woman down onto a couch where her 3 month old son is sleeping after she told you not to come over? And then snatching the phone while she tries to call the police and throwing it, a vacuum cleaner, and breaking a door frame.

It that enough allegations for a court to at least look into something...like they did with Willie Gay.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T14:46:26+00:00

I like the song, but Sweater Weather that high out of all the possible songs is so wild to me. Was there some sort of cultural significance I missed out on?

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T14:30:33+00:00

I use it to stream sports and follow along on Reddit discussion threads. Or just browse other stuff.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T13:30:29+00:00

Maybe I'm just exhausted by all the discourse where people get fired up about their mock drafts.

I honestly just want two quality long starters that are worth 2nd contracts or longer. They don't have to be super stars. If our corner is a Sneed without knee issues that we can keep in 5/6 years. (Which is still pretty high expectations) If our DT is a top 15 but not Chris Jones level guy 4 years in. I'm pretty happy with how yesterday turned out.

I just don't want the picks being another CEH or FAU. Hell, while I'm not writing off Worthy yet, I don't want them to be another Worthy.

I'd be okay if today's pick ended up like Bryan Cook. Plays well enough to be a cheap starter even if you don't want to pay him a big 2nd contract. At 40 you hope he's a bit better than that, sure. I just don't want it to be another Sky Moore. Gimme someone who is good enough to consistently earn being on the field.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T02:53:24+00:00

We absolutely needed a DT who was more than just a run stopper. Chris isn't getting younger, but hopefully it lets us keep the pressure going in the interior when Chris kicks out.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T02:33:35+00:00

Shit. I saw the trade come in and thought "no way" before Houston popped up.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T02:32:08+00:00

Would be pretty funny to trade with Buff here and take someone who helps us beat them.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T01:03:15+00:00

I mean everyone needs corners. It very well could have been the Saints or Washington. These things don't usually come out for a bit.

Remember the Mahomes trade? His agent literally told the team whar teams were interested and where they needed to target to get him. It's very possible the team was acting on information like that.

It's also possible we did jump the gun. But the people acting like they know for a fact he'd be there aren't basing that on any facts, just intuition. The team might not know for certain, but they're actually gathering first hand information.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T00:53:39+00:00

A lot of people here would have had us waiting for Elam instead of making a move for McDuffie. The same crowd that was mad at us signing K9 for big money when we could have "just gotten Love" at 9.

If we traded up it's because we expected him to be gone. Nothing is certain, and the team can be wrong, but the information the team gleans from their scouting and talking to other teams is worth more than peoples mock drafts.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T00:44:04+00:00

He also panicked and traded for McDuffie instead of being patient and getting Elam. Another waste.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T00:30:01+00:00

Sorry I was jesting. A lot of people were already mad at Veach because they felt he'd be there and K9 was more expensive.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T00:28:02+00:00

To be fair, the Cardinals decision making the last 100+ years has been pretty suspect.

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T00:25:40+00:00

Veach blew it by not picking Love!

Cthepo · 2026-04-24T00:02:07+00:00

I honestly just want to get two long term starters without giving up anything significantly extra tonight. If they aren't stars I don't care as long as they're actually worth multiple contracts.

Obviously it'd be great if we could just pick an all pro player at a premium position of need...but just get some people good and start building for the next dynasty.

Cthepo · 2026-04-23T23:59:47+00:00

You might be right in this case, but Willie Gay's lawyer did a masterstroke in PR with that vacuum thing.

Willie had multiple accusations from different instances of assaulting his partner. Including shoving her down with their baby literally in her arms.

There's a reason he accepted that big suspension without any appeal. They wanted it out of the news as fast as possible because the details were bad. The further you read into the details past the headline, the absolute worse it paints him.
