    Thanks, Somos!

    Colin in Black and White

    TWO THOUGHTS ON THIS: 1) I think talking about if Kaepernick is oppressed or not oppressed in a binary fashion is probably unhelpful, and maybe makes us talk past each other a bit. For instance, I think we can all agree that from the age of 4 on Kaepernick has been raised with and lived with...

    Expectations for the rest of the season

    The NFC West is weird this year in that all the teams in the division span from good to very good, but just as there aren't any okay teams or bad teams I don't think there are any great teams in the division this year either. Without there being any great teams in the division the Seahawks...

    9ers release Mike Person

    He fits the Hawks' Online in that he's bad at pass blocking, bit doesn't really fit the run scheme well IMO

    $20 million plus for Clowney

    Unless someone shows up with what he wants my guess is he goes for a one year deal. Clowney on a one year is actually a great situation for Seattle if he'll do it with them, but my guess is he'd probably be looking for somewhere he can stand up and move around the line more..

    Brieda RFA tender a difficult decision: NBC Bay Area

    ^^^ Yeah, it is ENTIRELY fair to say I'm griping about a particular thing that bothers me and ignoring the massive turn around and success that surrounds it. :2thumbs: It just stings right now given they'll be losing players I'd rather keep because of it, but I obviously still wouldn't trade...

    Brieda RFA tender a difficult decision: NBC Bay Area

    He's the 9th highest paid running back in the NFL. He had 23 touches last year. He's not even on the field for 2 out of 3 offensive snaps. Excluding punters and kickers, can you name any other time in history in which a top 10 player in salary only played 1/3rd of snaps and you thought it...

    Brieda RFA tender a difficult decision: NBC Bay Area

    I hope you're right, but I don't see any signs of that at all. With Breida and Mostert and Jerick still healthy and getting 6 APY he still got all giddy and paid Coleman another 5 APY, and that's only because he couldn't get Le'veon Bell at 12 APY. He's paying a FB nearly 3x what the next...

    Brieda RFA tender a difficult decision: NBC Bay Area

    Sorry typo. Shanahan's RB fetish is already hurting the team, and will continue to hurt the team IMO.

    Brieda RFA tender a difficult decision: NBC Bay Area

    Not really any point in tendering him at 2.1 as I can't imagine they'd match if he got a different offer, and that comes without any compensation anyway. Breida had a couple fumbles and started pushing a little bit and fell out of favor last year. The real story here tho is Kyle's insistence...

    Florio: Will 9ers make a play on Brady

    Give me a realistic scenario in which they could upgrade the QB position this offseason and what it would cost them to do it and I'll happily weigh in on if I think they would or should do that (seriously). I think the hypothetical would have to have some resemblance to the real world to make...

    Florio: Will 9ers make a play on Brady

    Yes, you're right, and I think this is the point to stick on. Even in a scenario in which you believe that in a vacuum a 44 year old Tom Brady is a substantially better QB, take all that and have it and from the 9ers perspective it still doesn't make any sense.

    Florio: Will 9ers make a play on Brady

    Yep. And I 100% agree with all your reasons above, but you left out maybe a big one too because despite how obvious it is it's also a little contentious: Jimmy, coming off an ACL and in his first season as a starter, was both statistically and by eye test (IMO) a substantively better QB than...

    Florio: Will 9ers make a play on Brady

    So according to Florio this thing is worth taking seriously for the following reason: (1) Florio fills the slow part of the offseason with a dumb thing (2) Sanders picks up what Florio put down (3) Peter King says Sanders and Florio are being silly (4) Florio and Simms fill time by saying...

    Florio: Will 9ers make a play on Brady

    I 100% agree with your premise (life for the 9ers, Rams, and Cards would OBVIOUSLY be easier without Wilson in the division), but for me personally, bizarrely, not really? As I've gotten older and watched my favorite team rise and fall over the last three and a half decades I oddly just don't...

    Should the Seahawks look at bringing Bruce Irvin back to Sea

    This. Doesn't mean he's not a good signing, but the question is likely do you want Irvin at 8-10 APY, not 4-5 APY.

    Florio: Will 9ers make a play on Brady

    Lol no. I'll go through the multitude of reasons if anyone cares but the end result is that this literally isn't happening.

    What is really important to foster the .Net community

    Yep me too. My old man rant about it is that newer platforms aren't architecturally designed for actual conversation: the anger and hatred and polarization that comes from them is literally baked into the way they're designed. If I was trying to have sustained interaction and mutual respect...

    What is really important to foster the .Net community

    There's much bigger forces at work here, and I don't think there's such thing as a phpBB that is what it used to be. Looking on Wayback it looks like this site went live in March of 2000, which sounds about right in terms of timelines. Every phpBB in existence is in a variable stage of...

    Colts wanted to draft both Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson in

    Who beyond the Eagles and now the Colts? Agreed with HawkGA right above too about this being a good strategy. I mean heck, this is essentially what the Seahawks did with signing Flynn and then drafting Wilson. (Flynn got 3 year 26 million dollar deal; for comparison sake Alex Smith was...
