14M? Hell naw.

Hater!

Looks like we got a lot of needed pieces (free agency/draft) to compete ... specifically @ QB.

Coaching (play calling) and overall health need to improve for 2023.

Correct those things ... you'll have a shot.

Why is it coveted? Isn't it just another number?

Because it hasn't been allowed to be used in the NFL in decades and just became available.. Every other number between 1 and 99 are just another number. Just like the Popeye's Sandwich was so coveted. It only just became available.

Looks like 2020 wasn't the year for most of the league as far as slam dunk 1st rounders, huh? Basically two thirds of the draftees aren't getting the 5th year option applied. I wonder if the pandemic had something to do with stunted growth and such. There was basically no offseason work for this class for the first two years.

OK... so the Popeys Sammich was marketed to elicit the result we all saw. There was not really a shortage. And the sammich is overrated and super salty, tbh.

So are you saying the number 0 was marketed to be coveted, when it's not in reality, since it has not been used in a really long time?

It's just a cool number. That's it. I remember watching Jim 'Double-0' Otto play back in the day. That was a cool number. "00"

I figured Luton was history, but I'm not terribly surprised by Gore. They at least have a shot to catch on somewhere else now.
