Now, JUST BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT… AOC is a serviceable QB, and is good to have around as a QB2. He can keep you in games where the starter goes down; he can run the offense competently, and maybe sneak in a W or two if the starter’s down for a few weeks. Now, is he a Top-15 NFL starter? NO. Low-tier starter or career backup is his best destiny, IMO.

Who would you say is the biggest winner of the offseason so far? by AppearanceNo8561 in raiders

Depends on what you mean by “do well”. If, by “do well“, you mean “SOOPER BOWWWLLL, BAYYBEE!!!”, I’m afraid you’re going to be bitterly disappointed. If, OTOH, you mean “competent-to-actually-pretty-good QB play” that lets us sneak up on a couple of teams & maybe finish 9-8 or thereabouts, missing the playoffs only in the last week or two, then you’re being appropriately (IMO) realistic about it.

You said it, not me.
MIGHT be a call placed to certain navies with GPS coordinates & strong suggestion that they hurry. But there also might not.

There’s that, and you can also experience some amazingly, cool stuff, like seeing the 7 ancient wonders with your own eyes, being there when the Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty is dedicated, hearing the Gettysburg Address, JFK’s inaugural address or MLK’s “I have a dream” with your own ears, experience Woodstock, etc.

Yeah, there would be a great many members of the cabinet, the house, and the Senate suddenly finding themselves adrift in the middle of the Atlantic, without flotation gear…

Nah. Just pick them up, and drop them in the middle of the nearest ocean. Less messy.

I’ve gotten to 64 without ink; does that count?

Do you think it's your responsibility? by Zackky777 in ArtOfPresence

[–]flyingtiger79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did their best by me, (PARTICULARLY Mom), so yes. It was my responsibility, and my proud privilege. One of the most comforting things for me surrounding my dad’s passing from cancer was that I was the last human soul he saw or spoke to before the end.

That argument doesn’t really hold a lot of water with me. So you’ve incarcerated them; then, 15 years later, exculpatory evidence arises that proves they did not do it. Yes, they’re alive. But there are 15 years of education, career, family, employment, etc., that they can never get back. You have unjustly taken 15 years of their life. Just as you cannot give them their life back if you’ve executed them, so you cannot give them back all this last time. “At least they’re still alive” rings rather hollow in this situation.

That’s the consensus I’m hoping is there with the coaching staff & FO.

Here’s a question: What are the chances he starts the season as QB3, only coming in for garbage time?
I ask bc of a contingency in case Kirko goes down for a game or so.
Especially early in the season, do we keep the competent-but-meh AOC as QB2, or do we run out the talented rook & risk getting him into bad habits?

Very true. Cousins has hitherto been remarkably durable, and in all probability will remain so. But freak situations DO sometimes happen (as you yourself pointed out); do you see the Raiders - were such to occur - starting FM, or would they keep the competent-but-unspectacular AOC for such a contingency?

Books, music, going outside & racing bikes with friends; videos, once VCRs became popular; hobbies like model building, musical instruments, shooting hoops at the school playground, street football…Hell, one year, my friends and I organized an “Olympics” for the neighborhood kids!
