WFT's Off-Season Thread

Scalper: I've given you a hard time before. And am still kinda doing it here.



Every once in a while, I'll read thru one of these novels, and I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying.



But for the most part, I just scroll past your posts, because it's just too much to read. This isn't a news site, it's a fan site.



I'm assuming you're posting here to engage with other fans, so that's why I'm saying this. I'm sure others agree. Less words please. It's America, so do what you want, but less words lol.

Ok, let's not get it twisted...he had a form of skin cancer, not a BRAIN TUMOR. Many doctors misdiagnose...medical practice is not fool proof. The team docs were monitoring the situation and when they thought it might be something more serious, they referred him to a specialist who made the cancer diagnosis. Cancer is often not found when we would like it to be found...it's F'n cancer... That's why Cancer sucks...

Trent Williams had MAJOR surgery. I don't believe everything we heard through the media, and again, team can't say their side of the story, while Trent can, so I factor that in. I watched Trent describe his operation, and he made it VERY clear publicly he thought the medical staff had been negligent. I don't know the truth, no one who isn't Trent or the staff does, but Trent's beef with us was about WAY more than money. Whether he was "right" or "wrong," I can't say, but it wasn't just a money grab. He felt (again right or wrong) the staff had contributed to his medical problems via negligence and this was a HUGE factor in his leaving.

Like SD said it is just too time consuming to read your posts. You can post as long of a post as you would like, but if you actually want people to read them you should just get to your point quicker.
A message board is alot like a real life conversation- back and forth. You are having an entire discussion in one post and if one person won’t stop talking the other person is going to walk away. Sounds like you are very educated, insightful, and passionate but it is all wasted if people do not read them, and there is no way me and SD are the only ones scrolling past them for times sake.

I totally believe this to be the case.

I am long-winded at times.
I also refuse to dumb down for a generation which thinks 140 characters is meaningful communication.
Would you prefer posts in iambic pentameter? :-)

A bullshit propagandized definition of the war. The Civil War was about tariffs, not slavery. Emancipation was just to propagandize an unpopular war and make it popular. The GA was effective propaganda, but let's not mistake it for historical fact.

Propaganda for plebs must always be brief and dumbed down, and this is one reason our democracy is crumbling. The infantile attention spans of social media junkies, whose brains are wired like those of heroin addicts, make meaningful public discourse on crucial issues impossible. That being said, my posts are often too long, I use voice rec. and don't type them though.

Lincoln went through no fewer than a half dozen revisions to get a long address short. Shakespeare, whoever he was, revised his plays for brevity. I hammer out my posts, not revising them like GA or plays. :-)

I am fine with everyone busting my balls though. It is funny and I deserve it at times. LOL.

I am all for forward thinking when it comes to managing the cap and keeping the young building blocks, and if they prefer the other options they have at OT then great save cap space when final cuts come. No need to cut him today, doesn't save you a bean compared to cutting him at final roster cuts ( unless he has some odd date in his contract where his salary is guaranteed).



One of the main challenges, before you factor in the COVID farce, of present structure of NFL is stringent rep limitations. You could bring Moses in and have him do nothing, but otherwise you are taking reps from players like Charles and Cosmi that desperately need them to develop. The current CBA favors teams with continuity big time.

I think the FO saw Moses' film and knew he had lost a step, and had decided he was gone no matter what with Leno and Cosmi on roster, because his contract overpaid him relative to his present production level and talent. One reason people love RR is that he is a players coach. Leno said this is why he signed. Releasing Moses early gives him a chance to sign on somewhere else, and is a class move that typifies RR and why players love him. The FO had obviously 1,000% decided Moses was gone, maybe they wanted him to take a pay cut he refused, and it was the right decision. The reps can now go to players competing for starting spots and learning our system, rather than those with one (slow) foot out the door.
