Humans as social animals need to voice their opinions and get feedback to those opinions from their peers - mostly probably to gauge their own perceived self-worth.

Also, going "against the grain" is another popular strategy whereby one makes opposite claims to the majority view just so that they can say that they were one of the few who saw the truth if the chips happen to fall that way. Now, I'm not saying that people making ridiculous claims without any real evidence to back them up shouldn't be called out on it. I'm just saying that there's a fine line between doing that and suppressing others' opinions. The right to question the establishment with power is a cornerstone of a democratic society, and to silence anyone trying to do that by saying the said establishment knows better, and therefore is above reproach, is to me socially unacceptable. To me it doesn't really make a difference whether the venue happens to be social media, a public debate on TV or a townhall meeting. Ok. Rant over. Time to take my soapbox and turn in for the night. How about that Cameron Jordan fellow..? I hear he's pretty good... |

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
I'm not a huge fan of this deal. His production dropped off drastically, and while it was one year it still lends plenty of doubt for that much money.
He could play himself worthy of it, but this wasn't something that had to be done now. Wait til the end of this upcoming season and see how or if he bounces back. I'm sure people will say "yeah but if he has a great season he'll ask for more money next year". I'll take my chances. It seems like we paid him based on his best season, and the hopes that he can duplicate it again. I don't think he's capable of actually exceeding what he did in '13. But it's done now, so I hope he at least plays with more consistency. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
IDK I think he is a way above average DE that actually plays both ways. Its hard to really dominate when the whole O-line is focused on you because there are no threats from the LBs. I think our LB core got a lot better and it will help his game.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
He had a down year for sure, but he had plenty of help.
He had an injured Bunkley and injured Jenkins inside that made his job more difficult. Our best LB was a SF reject in Haralson. Solid player but he isn't worrying anyone. He had Lofton at MIKE, kinda slow, and the worst secondary in the NFL behind him. But even with all that he should have played better than he did. I expect a bounce back season from him, and everyone else on defense that was associated with our humiliating 2014 season. |
