    if they were actually good, having two corners who are brothers would be the coolest thing ever. they all better be (i'm sorry, I apologize, that was bad, I will walk away now) i served it up for you and i knew it was coming

    devil's advocate (and i love this FO as much as anyone and we all know that you can easily screw up early round picks) - all of those guys were relatively early picks in the 1st round i want some of these damn random 6th rounders to come out of nowhere and turn into real guys. i realize it's easier said than done with overslots being less of a thing than when they were finding guys in boston. just give me a dylan cease breakout this year or something. or can some random older dude like stephen bruno or hanneman become a cardinal-like thing?

    It better be a strength because they won't be lighting up the scoreboard. What is the front 7 depth right now? If the line is OK (right side should be substantially upgraded) and zach miller plays most of the year, i think the offense will at least be average. could be more depending on how good white really is. if white is really good, then that's a hell of a WR combo. if he's just OK, it's still pretty good. if he's trash, then, yeah, we probably don't score much. i guess alshon's health is a question too. he did play 2 full seasons before last year.

    No, I didn't say they have a license to suck. I said they have no pressure to shove a rookie QB into the starting lineup right away. A Super Bowl win buys you time. It just seems like throwing a rookie QB on a team that just won the SB but suddenly has no QB at all isn't exactly a clear cut low pressure scenario.

    I'm not taking issue with any of what you say (I didn't really care about the risky/best classification anyway...just wanted to see the analysis/info on Floyd) nor do I disagree with any of it except this part. What does that matter? They won a Super Bowl, yes, but their starting QB retired, their other one left via FA. How can they really afford to be patient when they don't really have a quarterback? Or are you just saying they have license to suck for a bit if they have to because they just won one? What does it matter? Seriously? What does winning the Super Bowl last year matter? They won the super bowl last year. The pressure is off for 2016, at least. There is no desperate need to shove a guy who isn't ready into the starting lineup. Desperate teams who trade up into the first to take a QB they need to start right away are taking a risk. Nobody has their job on the line. ok, so you're saying the thing i said. that's what i asked. i don't really agree, but whatever.

    Try the actual season ticket holders thread next time if you want to get a hold of the season ticket holders. ;)

    It absolutely boggles my mind that a presumably educated person actually believes this. I could understand it if the Cubs had a team filled with players that choked miserably in the past (yes the Cubs got swept by the Mets but that was a systematic destruction not players choking IMO). But to believe some higher power is directing the Cubs to fail simply because they are the Cubs is ridiculous as a serious argument. it's all cardinals and white sox fans have left to cling to. it's a good thing. that line and the goat references.

    http://interact.stltoday.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1173165 A lot of this is boringly level-headed, to those posters' credit, but there's plenty of hilariously delusional stuff too. Like the guy who thinks the Cubs offense sucks because of batting average and the guy who thinks the Cards roll out a better 8 than the Cubs on any given day (might've been the same guy - too lazy to check).

    Anybody interested in 4 tickets to this game? Section 209, Row 2. Let me know.
  19. David
    With the Cards starting a series with the Nationals, I think I can be happy with any outcome...especially since we're already 5 games up on the Cardinals in the L column. I was getting annoyed for that like day when the Nationals had a better record than us.

    It's also much, much easier to get to balls in front of you than balls over your head, playing dudes shallow seems to make little sense to me, but I await more learned gentlemen with more evidence to show how wrong I am. I actually found that not to be true. I'll admit that this is all anecdotal and playing CF in Iowa HS ain't exactly the NLC. But other than balls directly behind me, I found going back easier. I think it's that on a ball hit deep, it's a dead sprint until you get there. You either get there or the ball hits the fence. On shallow hits, there's a point at which you need to decide if you're going for it or pulling up and that hesitation felt like it cost me some range. And on almost every short ball, except gappers, you have to play conservative as a ball getting by you is a disaster. I don't know how to possibly measure that and I'll admit I could be totally wrong. But that was definitely my experience in about 100 games in high school OF. I think that's how Dexter felt, too, which is why he always played shallow and was resistant (even in ST this year) to playing deeper like the Cubs were asking him to.

    I might've had the wrong guy, but as long as the NFL tests for it, it matters. I think your mind would be blown knowing how many nfl prospects and players smoke weed. It does not bode anything for a career. Obviously a ton of them do. I was thinking of some guy who, rumors were, did nothing to quell teams' concern over it in his interviews (basically was defiant about it). It looks like I had the wrong guy. I don't follow this stuff too closely.
