  1. yeah, a D seems really harsh for Floyd. he's at least a solid starter. C+/B- range is where I'd be.
  2. Haha I always spell it wrong whoops you're not the only one on the past couple pages i noticed myself doing that at one point and wondered where the hell i picked it up. had to have been here lol
  3. Was Maholmes drafted in the same draft as Trubinsky?
  4. You've graded a draft a total failure one year removed from said draft? Okay. Come on. Montgomery, Ridley, Shelley, Whyte, and Denmark. How does that get better with time? I guess if you really feel Montgomery still has something to offer above random replacement RB. Both Montgomery and Ridley could both easily be valuable players. What? Montgomery had flashes and was overall disappointing but probably was also misused and the victim of an offensive line (and a QB) that didn't let the offense do anything. I was disappointed in his first year but I wouldn't declare him a bust yet. And Ridley just did what pretty much any mid-late round rookie wideout would do. I didn't think he was particularly good or bad given the circumstances and how much playing time he was likely to get. I'd at least wait until I see if he makes any sort of meaningful contribution in year 2 before declaring him a nothing (again, operating under the overall mindset that, yeah, most of these guys are going to be nothings anyway). They barely even played, which is pretty much what you'd expect from a team that was expected to contend for a Super Bowl going into the season and was always wishfully hanging around enough that they didn't go into an all out tank mode with doling out reps and there were too many guys ahead of them anyway. I have no idea what someone like Duke Shelley is. Supposedly had a pretty good camp last year but he was never going to see the field much barring a complete decimation of our secondary by injury. Do I think they'll amount to much? No, but that's because they're mid-late round picks and that's pretty much all we know about them. It was always going to be a surprise if most of those guys amounted to much and that's still the case just like it will be with any late round guys we take this year, but beyond that reasoning I'm not sure why we'd declare them to be any more nothing than any other guys that get drafted that late onto a team expecting to contend with a bunch of guys with established positions and roles.
  5. Is that the one where the 3rd championship montage capping with Paxson hitting the 3 was soundtracked by super cheesy "and then a hero blah-blah-blah" song? If so, then horsefeathers yes. the mariah carey song?
  6. i was so close to naming harden and felt stupid and didn't
  7. holy horsefeathering horsefeathers how on brand lmao
  8. Sammy Javy DLee Aramis Rizzo KB Wood Lester Schwarbs (his playoff contributions cement it) Brian McRae (just for the logan - but he really was one of my favorites at one time)
  9. he said that back then (that he advised scottie not to sign such a long term deal) and he has always maintained it when the subject comes up.
  10. i have never felt someone else's thought more
  11. that was horsefeathering great i want more right now
  12. I would prob combine the two approaches and have it something like Muncy, Freeman, Rizzo, Goldy
  13. 2nd or 3rdish... prob 3rd
  14. holy horsefeathering yikes this article
  15. to this day i still wonder...if jordan hadn't cut his finger with that cigar cutter, i gotta think they would've gone for one more go at it in the lockout year. especially considering they would've gotten all that extra rest after the 3 straight championship runs. who knows though.
  16. Dunno where else to post this but it seems like kind of a big deal... he'll have his own team!
  17. you knew paxson wasn't going to get tossed on the street. he'll have a title. same one doug collins has. I was thinking primarily of Boylen. gotcha. i'm thinking we probably won't see him officially canned until the season is actually canceled. but who knows...this is a very weird situation.
  18. Excellent...one down. you knew paxson wasn't going to get tossed on the street. he'll have a title. same one doug collins has.
  19. In case anyone was still worried about this...
  20. ohhhh right, this is a respiratory disease plenty of other ways to consume it tho
  21. Stealing the quotes/snippets here from a post on RealGM... Wowwwwwww. :o And perhaps most importantly: More at the link: https://chicago.suntimes.com/bulls/2020/3/18/21185570/bulls-gm-gar-forman-slow-rise-power-slower-demise
