Yeah it was the pettiest, most passive aggressive nonsense ever. Got bent over on the Sam Bradford trade and got demolished by Nick Foles in the NFCC game, so he tried to put out some BS on Twitter to dunk on the Eagles. He's better than Dave Caldwell though. You ever see those Falcons drafts before he got to Jacksonville? Yikes. How about pretty much all of his Jags drafts other than 2016? Double yikes.

Basically a rookie. Imagine how good he could be with another year in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I don't care if him and Zimmer were laughing about passing on Jefferson. I was just being sarcastic. But when have the Eagles ever done something like that?

The flu is the same thing, I'm sure most of the people who had the flu in 1918 though it was just another cold, except of course, for the ones who died. As I pointed out a couple years ago, 0.5% mortality doesn't sound that bad until you realize it's a one in two hundred chance of dying. And over 150M, a mere 750,000 dead. Now Omicron fortunately has a lower mortality rate, and extremely low among those who are vaccinated (and lower if boosted), which means it's culling out the stupid. Because it's so contagious that probably over half the population will be infected by February. But that's luck. Could have been much worse. But you never know, maybe the next flu variant, or COVID variant, or some other virus will be both highly contagious with a 5-10% mortality rate (as long as it can incubate a few days and make the host infectious before killing the host, the high mortality won't stop the spread) before an effective treatment is discovered (could take six months). Something like that will solve the anti-vaxer issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell yes I would. If Rodgers can't win in GB, what makes you think he'd do it here, especially with the cap hit and the picks he'd cost? Last 4 years, miss PO, lost CF, lost CF, lost wildcard, with defense ranked 22, 9, 13, 13 in points allowed. The assumption that we get a "passer," therefore we're guaranteed a SB is a bit silly.

We made the playoffs with a scrub at QB, odds would be better. And getting to the CF multiple times increases your odds of winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather also died in a car accident without a seat belt as well. You are batting 1000 tonight. But, you seem more concerned with being right than showing human compassion. I hope that you never have tragedy strike you. It sucks, sucks more than you can imagine. But, I'm done engaging with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows? But it's the kind of scenario that scares the hell out of virologists. https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2021/08/04/a-warning-about-the-future-of-covid-19-from-the-scientific-advisory-group-for-emergencies-of-the-united-kingdom/?sh=13719e9e2e54 https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19/do-bad-viruses-always-become-good-guys-end The plague is a good example. The traditional story was it was transmitted by fleas, but an insect transmitted disease couldn't spread that rapidly, for one thing it would kill off its rat hosts before enough people got bite. So it probably mutated to a highly contagious pneumonic form, which was rapidly spread from human to human. We just don't know. SARS was deadly, but not very contagious. COVID has been contagious, but not very deadly (relatively). But in the future . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like any day mahomes and rodgers will get there. And that Joe Burrow guy Fing overrated. Who takes two years to get to AFC championship game taking over 2 win team. And who the hell is this Tom Brady guy so what he played 22 years means nothing. Jagr played 24. Get on his level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
