  1. Let's be very clear about something: Parsons is 6-3" 250, runs a sub-4.4 and has a 35" vertical. 

    Very few humans have existed who are on his level physically.

    If he stepped onto an NBA court against a team of 6-7"+ skilled defenders, he would get smothered without mercy.

    He would get a few buckets I think, but wouldn't get close to 20 once, much less on average.

    Stroud's side here is on point.

  2. In my opinion, nothing to dislike about this draft. The good teams are always picking random guys that the 'experts' disagree with, and then later people are like "how did the Patriots get Guy X' or whatever so unconcerned about noise in the blogosphere.

    I will say this - anyone criticizing the Lassiter pick needs to go check out his film & resume. This guy is a killer, and basically everything beside his 40 time is premium. Modern NFL is a game in need of good nickelback play, and you also need that guy to be able to provide run support.

  3. Like what the Texans did, slight improvement over our previous super-corporates but we're not going to wow anyone. 
     

    Detroits blue helmet is the best new uni piece I've seen.

    Broncos I like as well, but agree they should just go throwback.

  4. 4 minutes ago, destroya said:

    Anything short of renaming the team the Oilers and going back to the old uniforms was going to be a disappointment. 

    Funny to me that people long for a franchise that defined disappointment and 'choke' with some sense of longing. Loved Earl & Moon, and the uniforms were great, but they choked hard and left town, and continue to define choking & disappointment in their new town.

    Our franchise value is higher than theirs (just to highlight folly of leaving for a smaller market bc the owner had poor business sense), we've won the division more than them, there are few metrics in which we are not the better team.

    Let it go.

    On to the draft.

  5. Forgive if it's already been covered but is this reveal going to be streamed or a tweetstorm or what

    TIA

    Im actually excited. All leaks had me less than enthusiastic but I think when we see full sets it'll be a lot different than leaked misinfo piecemeal bullshit etc

  6. Even if you were worried about Diggs being a head case or whatever all Buffalo fans are crying about now, check this shit out.

    If it goes bad, he’s on a 1 year deal with team renewal options. Trade value was right, price is right at $20M, gotta wonder wtf else there is to this story. I know Buffalo has bad cap situation but they just let him walk…

  7. Undecided on unis, which I’ve concluded is not good. Usually you want to see and like them right away.

    I read that there will be 4 different uni sets - not 4 combinations, but 4 totally different looks each with their own combos - so I’ll wait until they reveal to care.
