According to a CNN analysis, Trump made statements about ending the war in 24 hours (or shortly after election) at least 53 times. BUT, as soon as he was elected, he backpedaled and stated "could be little optimistic"--- we be in his second year and holding our breath. Classic Trump- say anything, do anything- get in power/ nothing else matters.
This is Sanders team to lose. They brought the kid into the facility on Monkens first day… he was the only player in the building and he was there to see Monken. Sanders is your QB for 2026…
Just clipping this from the convo because I have a couple questions (for anyone, really).
I can't argue with any of that. I really, really don't think Shedeur is "the one", but he's worked hard and improved. The NFL is ruthless, so me even implying he's "earned" anything is strictly fan talk; the league and this FO owe him nothing. And "improved" is not on the scale you would normally expect from a fQB. After an off-season, the bad habits we've made excuses for have to be way further in the rear view come TC.
With all that said, I really don't see how this plays out when the players hit the practice field. If Shedeur is not handed the job, then others have a chance to compete. If others compete and look better, how is Shedeur a shoo-in?
Now the real question... if Deshaun Watson is given any chance to compete, and looks the part, can anyone put lipstick on that pig (the situation) and say with a straight face "everything will work itself out"?
This scenario sounds like a first-class $h*tshow, and I'm starting to think it's almost inevitable.
Hell, for a guy who ran on NO MORE FORIEGN WARS- killing bad guys in Caribbean, killing in Pacific, killing in Venezuela, killing in Gaza, killing in Iran, on and on and on.....reminds me of Country Joe and the Fish song--" Whooppee We're All Going to Die". Trump, the businessman reminds me of Robert McNamara, the businessman who was so smart he thought his business way of winning the Vietnam War was brilliant. Trump is the smartest man in the White House ever, just ask him....God knows who we will start killing next. Peace.
Just stop already. The O is putrid. Jeudy looked good with better WR's around him. Yet another swing and a miss trying to land a #1 WR. The closest they came was Amari Cooper and even then he was available because Dallas made an upgrade to replace him. And at the very least you forgot to include QB on your list.
You listed............

LT C RG WR MAYBE LG
Then another WR or TE or FB, depending on the formation.
When you add QB to that list that's a total of 9 players needed on O.

That would be more than most GMs manage to do in their career
If that were even close to true they weren't NFL GM's for very long. They surely never held that job on the same team for six years.
You come up with a lot of good counterpoints on this board. This isn't one of them.
We aren’t disagreeing that the O is putrid, we are disagreeing that it can’t make a huge leap this off season. I did bring up the QB, and said it would be dependent on who wins the starting job to utilize those additions. Presumably, imho, Sanders is the only one that could make a difference, but I have serious doubts about it. I more expect the QB addition to come in 2027.
Still, Jeudy, Judkins, Fannin and Howard make 7 needs with the QB, not 8 without QB. Again, everyone needs to get used to the fact they are going to give Sanders every chance to win or lose the job. If Watson looks like the old Watson, that might upset the apple cart, but I highly doubt it. This is Sanders team to lose. They brought the kid into the facility on Monkens first day… he was the only player in the building and he was there to see Monken. Sanders is your QB for 2026…
So we are back to needing 6 starters this off season:
LT LG C RG WR
And one of either WR, TE or RB depending on the formation. If Bitonio comes back, we are down to 5.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen... what we have been watching for the last week is Putin slapping Trump upside the head!
Actually, it could be accurate to say that.
What was the Movie, Charlie Wilson's War where Afghanistan was being attacked by Russian Forces and the USA helped support the Afgans in there effort to stop Russians from winning...Ended up that Russian forces were turned back, beaten into the Ground and it eventually led to almost financial ruin for Russia.
Worse is that we have a President and his team that are so damn stupid that they don't see it's even possible....
I recognize that I'm speaking of a movie, but it's a movie about things that actually happened. Like FOR REAL!
I think missing the point there prove what Trump said,,, Smart People don't Like Him!
So shake your head all you want. but that won't stop this from maybe being the same situation in reverse.
Here, Larry, we'll try to reverse engineer this and maybe you can supply a sane comment or two. You'll have to answer pertinent questions though. No b.s., no strawmen, no reframing your narrative. Just answer...
Let's say we combine these two vague statements that helped create this story and tha fantasyland you've attached to it.
First: "two officials familiar with U.S. intelligence". We'll just act like that is all true, just, and they carry enough weight to even make a comment. Because that's what we're supposed to do in Pitland.
Then: We'll take a possibility and make it a FACT by predicting the future as if it has already come to pass. Because that's what else we are expected to do in Pitland... So "could help Tehran strike American warships, aircraft and other assets" is a reality and there will be dire consequences because of this.
Now you say this means "Putin smacked Trump in the head and he's doing nothing about it." You actually said "crickets".
So here, simple questions:
What the hell do you expect him to say? What the hell do you expect him to do?
Are you saying he's a [censored] if he doesn't bomb Russia too?
I didn't say or pretend only Black democrats do that - neither did he. If I say "the Browns suck" it doesn't mean I think all other teams are good, nor does that imply that I think the Browns are the only team that sucks.
All the other bluster in that post is just a bunch of "blah, blah, blah".
You have a bizarre way of thinking you can paint fantasy as true any time you think it fits a narrative. That doesn't fit a narrative, you're creating one. And when you do it in the matter that you did above, it's nothing more than a troll tactic.
You obviously would no longer recognize a fact if it hit you up side the head. The vast majority of Americans aren't buying the BS you keep slinging.
Venezuela had a very weak military.
Iran's military is well below that of both the U.S. and Israel's yet they teamed up to destroy Iran which now trump is calling for their "unconditional surrender".
That's like Bambi meeting Godzilla.........
Now we find out Russia is aiding the enemy by giving our troop locations endangering the lives of our troops and we hear nothing but crickets.....
I didn't make any of that up. Don't blame me because you are in denial.
In order to make yourself feel better you would have to pretend that only black Democrats do that and it's just a coincidence he only pointed out three black Democrats. Reality seems to be escaping you.
Newsflash. Not all trump supporters are racists. But all racists are trump supporters. And you are on here making excuses for one of them.
And voters are tired of "Immigrants are taking our jobs!" too. The problems of white people have always been blamed on people of color. Once it was black people and now it's immigrants.
Claiming the education system and opportunities are the same across the board are what have become your ammunition causing both to continue being the casualties. And this administration has taken it even further backwards.
You have applauded all of it. Even now you are playing Stretch Armstrong to make excuses for an obviously racist remark.
You don't "get it". You try to "create it" and think people are stupid enough to buy it. The only people that dumb are the three other voices in your head. The ones confirming the idea that constantly selling fantasy as fact is a good look.
No, nothing racist. And nobody was "targeted". They happen to be three Black people that are using a "schtick" (his words) to try to appeal to a certain class of voters. If they happen to be the three Black politicians doing it - pointing it out isn't racist.
He's merely of the opinion that voters are tired of it and are no longer putting "likely oppressed" and "show me how ghetto you are" at the top of their checklist before they go to the polls -- and that's both white and Black people.
It's just one in a long list of "schticks" that has lost its luster. It's riding shotgun with "Nazi, fascist, criminal, threat to democracy" and all the other b.s. that Libs somehow think will still pay the bills. Once they get past this (and just screaming f&$k! everyday) maybe they can move on to policy and start clawing to get some of their voters back.
Irish, I agree with you and I believe it can be done. I don't know why I'm being so optimistic but if the right moves are made, I believe we can compete for the division in "26 providing we also get decent QB play. With an improved OL Shedeur could be better or whomever we have at QB. Nobody could have been successful playing behind our line last season.
Just stop already. The O is putrid. Jeudy looked good with better WR's around him. Yet another swing and a miss trying to land a #1 WR.

So a conservative directly targets three black Democrats, not a single white Democrat, call these black democrats low IQ and ghetto and you don't see anything racist about that. At that point point you should be calling yourself names. Supporting racist comments is not attractive. Unless of course you're a trumpian. Then it becomes a badge of honor. I heard it will take between six and eight weeks for your badge to arrive.
I get it. In Trumplandia Russia giving Iran our troop locations doesn't mean anything. Just as I suspected. Endangering the lives of our troops by giving the enemy their location doesn't mean anythhing if Putin does it.
Only if some easy target did it. Then trump would be raising hell and using it as a reason to invade them.
In six years he did manage to build one half of a team. So there's that.
That would be more than most GMs manage to do in their career, if it were accurate..
However, Jerry Jeudy was a top receiver in the league when he had a #1 across from him.. so that's one piece on the offense side. We have what seems to be a good RB room with Judkins, Sampson and Raheim Sanders. They have a starting RT now, that someone in the media compared Francis Mauigoa to. TE Fanning might be the best offensive weapon of them all at this point.
The cupboard isn't bare...
They need starters: LT C RG WR MAYBE LG
Then another WR or TE or FB, depending on the formation.
They have free agency starting next week, a chance for trades and (4) draft picks in the first 70.
Realistically, he could revamp the offense over the course of the next 2 months.... then it comes down to QB.
It isn't like the defense was ready made. Just last year alone he added Maliek Collins, Jerome Baker in free agency, traded for Tyson Campbell and drafted Mason Graham and Corey Schwessinger. 5 players that catapulted the defense to prominence.
It isn't like it can't be done. Again, we don't need 5 All Pro players. We need above average players at every position to make a jump.
I'm anxious to see where Bitonio ends up this time next week.
You have proven in the past you're smarter than that. I have no idea what happened to you.
You know as well as I do those are racist comments. Unlike many I often call out people who make excuses to call anything and everything racist. But this one is obvious and you support it. Hmmmm.....
