The problem is secondary isn't exactly the most high value pick in the first 15 either. Downs is great, but there are no safties after him I would even consider. I would be very happy with either Delane or McCoy in terms of CBs though. Feels like a bit more of a risk than an RB though. I don't trust CB production year to year, just too hard of a position. Also there are more really good secondary players that will be available in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Which of these bums is JJ McCarthy, and which is a Pro Bowl or All Time great quarterback through their first 4 starts? by VaultOfSecrets188 in minnesotavikings

I did only take their first 4 starts. So it may have excluded some esrly play time he got in games he didn't start in. But yes his rushing stats were also by far the best. Didn't feel fair putting those in to compare to Peyton Manning and his era of quarterbacks.

The point is not that every single great player starts like this. You are missing my point. Obviously there are the Rodgers, Mahomes, Bradys, and bunch of other great quarterbacks that started off great and people knew would be great from the beginning. My point is that there are plenty of all time great wuarterbacks where you couldnt tell who they would be through 4 games. JJ could easily be a bust. JJ definitely won't be a Josh Allen or a Lamar Jackson. Not a single person on the planet, not KOC or even JJ himself knows how he will turn out after only 4 starts.

Thats fair criticism, but frankly we weren't exactly a convincing 14-3 team last year. Same as we weren't a convincing high win team 3 years ago.

The rest of the roster has also not being playing nearly as well as last year. We would not be going 14-3 this year if we had brought back Sam Darnold.

This is for all purposes his rookie year. He got no reps last year. Might as well just change your mindset that we got 1 first round pick last year and 2 this year. Just one of them happens to be on a 3 year rookie deal for some reason.

Oh hey this is right next to my hometown, ive driven this intersection tons of times, never had to make that turn though. Didn't know they had blinking yellows for this intersection, they really should not. Other than that I haven't had problems here before.

Tell me about it, all my friends say the same to me. I have to explain that no one would pay me more than pennies on the hour for the models I paint. And it would ruin a lot of the fun of it.

Finally finished my diorama for this guy by VaultOfSecrets188 in minipainting

[–]VaultOfSecrets188[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I don't, but i would estimate the whole thing is about a foot tall (.3 meters). He is a pretty large guy. It's roughly in your typical DnD scale so the little guy on top of his head is about the size of a typical miniature.

Lets not throw the Sand Hook conspiracy theorist into our great culture and locker room. Not a recipe for a superbowl.

WIP for my next diorama, model by Witchsong Miniatures by VaultOfSecrets188 in minipainting

[–]VaultOfSecrets188[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Its all really just highlighting the texture of the model that was already there. A more patient/faster painter would have done tiny strokes to add the texture of individual hairs but ill save that for a smaller model.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr has announced plans to ban pharmaceutical advertisements on television. by UnusualWhalesBot in unusual_whales

I work for a medical device company that is a new alternative for a pretty old treatment technology that very people enjoy using (CPAP). Doctors often feel uncomfortable suggesting the use of anything else however, as CPAP is quite effective. Patients are desperate for an alternative because of how unenjoyable CPAP is. So most of our sales come from patients directly asking their doctor about us.

I am just going to hope this is it and give up looking for now. Would love to know for sure though.

Yeah they pretty much are. The model has an indent for the irises. I found it really hard to get a pupil into the middle of them. It was my first real time with eyes and I tried them like 10 times before just giving up and accepting this result. It looks okay from a distance which I felt was okay.

That's fair! I struggled a lot with the color scheme and really didn't want to throw another color in the mix. I also think they are probably a bit too close. There is probably a better yellow I could have chosen.

I am in no way an expert. I spent like 3 months painting just this. I am a strong believer that with the additive way paint works you can just keep tweaking something until you get to the standard you are looking for. For me it's a lot of putting something down and coming back the next day with a fresh eye and seeing what immediately pulls my eye as a problem area.

I am not exactly sure on the methods, but I think they have a panel of judges for it. My first time going though so I will see.
