But you're basically costing yourself more around $13 for all the when you can buy one that's ready made for $5
- GERBE!!!75PTS



1/2 cup of SC
1/2 cup of Crumble
1/4 cup mayo
tbsp of lemon juice


You'll spend $20 or more buying those little jars for the same amount of product that cost me $13.

You can buy the good poop by the gallon at a food service place. Most of them closed around here, but there are a few still hanging around. I used to love that Sysco was like 5 minutes away. It was also nice when the nimrod who made the Sysco order (frank)ed up and I had to go and get bleu, Franks, cheese, lettuce...

6-9 wins in his 1st year starting? I'll take it, that is what Tyrod will get you but at 30 million next year and a longer contract. If that were to happen, no brainer, Cardale but no guarantees that will happen.
- GilPerreault11


Lets not massage numbers to try and strengthen a point. First of all, it's not your $30m. 2nd, the cap hit is $15m which is very reasonable for a starting a QB. Keep Tyrod for two years or more, draft Williams or Davis at #10, draft mahomes in Rd 2 if he's there. An offense of Tyrod, shady, Watkins, Clay, Williams or Davis looks pretty good. Sign a UFA Wr a UFA safety, franchise Gilmore, sign Alexander and you have a team that has playoff potential. Seems pretty simple, but nothing is simple for Whaley. 1.7m for Hogan and no compensation or 2.2m and 2nd round compensation = pretty simple decision, one would think. Must be nice having job security cuz your wife is best buddies with Kim Pegula

Well, that's great and all taking a flyer on 2 Qbs with a 1st & 2nd.
In the meantime, we have significant holes at WR, RT, LB, S and CB which will cost $$$'s we don't have ... and the result is an aging team the still has no QB, finishes 6-10 and drafts 9th to remain the QB he'll.

Take the medicine, tank and rebuild.

not trying to add fuel to the fire, but the question or problem comes from these two areas for me:

1. if we want to extend him after next year, what will the cost be?
2. will this production keep up, or will it tail off?

If he is not part of the future plans, and they are worried about production, then get what you can for him.


I don't think this is different from the point of view of others on here.
If he is part of the future, and will not ask for an arm and a leg, then keep him and move out others.

15, 23, 90, 21, 55, 29, 9. Those are the guys I want on the team next year. Anyone else should be in play in order to give the bottom 6 a major shakeup. Losing Larsson hurts, no doubt, but I think the PK is a major indicator that the bottom 6 is rotten. You have to have guys like Gaustad and Kaleta that can out and get the job done on the PK, and right now we don't have the tenacity or positional understanding of the PK to get it done.

Has anyone tried the "enzosauce"?

It's the age old problem of all of sports teams. This guy stinks, trade him, but we can't because his value is too low, we'll have to keep him until he improves. Hey, he's improved! Why would we trade him now?

You can't have it both ways. But, we need to do what's best for the team long term and I at least feel with guys like Bailey, Bap, Carrier, and Fashing in the system--guys who are big, fast, not afraid to get dirty we may have a replacement for Kane coming soon. The only thing those four are missing is an NHL scoring touch, but if one steps up and starts scoring we have a replacement for Kane.

Now, with that said, I don't want to trade Kane. But if trading him means a legit #2 LHD coming back as the return, than that is in our best long term interest.
