"Likely a stretch to make the roster"


Oh. He was likely a stretch to make the roster.

That's your "hot factual link"


Hey, Nam vets? Is this guy for real or not?

you insisted he would make the team, and i (we) kept telling you he was in danger of being cut. we showed links. you were stubborn.

 

[Blotch]

As NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport mentioned, Brissett was "showcased" during New England's final preseason game. Likely a stretch to make the roster, Belichick was looking to bolster Brissett and get something back for him in lieu of an outright cut.

this means, en engles, that he was going to be cut.

No, that means that in the opinion of the writer, Brissett was likely a stretch to make the roster.

you really ARE from maine aint ya billybob?

5th grade or did you get thru 8th?

 

[Blotch]

he said the pats would carry 3 QB's, and said they do so "a lot". i laughed and pointed out how silly that is.

they dont

i said they would no way have 3 QB's and that jacoby would be cut.

he was going to be, and then the colts came calling...and said "take our cut for yours".

dorsett was going to be cut.

No. What I said was "Brissett is too valuable to be cut, so they wont"

You said "they're cutting him and keeping O'Shaugnessy, because they traded for him so they want him"


You then said "they might keep Carr for Brissett instead"

They kept neither. Nor did they cut Brissett.

 

[Blotch]

you insisted he would make the team, and i (we) kept telling you he was in danger of being cut. we showed links. you were stubborn.

I insisted they wouldn't cut him.

I bet you that they wouldn't cut him.

They didn't.

Your avatar will come on Thursday.

The Patriots are only carrying two QBs. Fact. Everything else is irrelevant. One party argued that it was a foregone conclusion that the Pats would only carry two QBs. The other party insisted vehemently that the Pats would carry three QBs.

While I appreciate the former mentioned party taking a shot in the ass for me in Gookville, that experience nevertheless had no influence in my arbitrary ruling of this debate.

While bawstun has a right to a rebuttal, he also has no avenues in which he can pursue any margin of recovery from his overwhelming defeat.

So Brissett was cut?

Who claimed him off waivers?

dorsett was going to be cut.

well the patriots did carry 3 for a while but I was thinking this would be there year they went with 2... Just not sure if Jimmy G is the right answer.. Hopefully this year we won't have to find out

well said, sir. i dont really care either way. im just playing with my new ball of yarn.

i await a 'nam comment. "you took one in denang!"

AL extra base hit leaders:
Jose Rameriz 76
Jose Abreu 67
Justin Upton 67

The NL leaders are more predictable
Stanton
Arenado
Blackmon

they had 3 last year because they needed 3. jacoby was a body...just one parcells loved and tickled bill into reaching for 2 rounds early.

nice guy. he may be a starter. he has some nice qualities. the pats just saw him as more of a college style QB.

upton...unreal.

 

[cerealboi]

it was me, bob, scott, dirt, pickles and ox

we lost scott due to trump

me, bob, pickles, dirt, ox

Did Trump have SJM deported?!?

 

[Blotch]

well said, sir.

i await a 'nam comment. "you took one in denang!"

Ok, you want it, I'll give it to ya.


Here's what you said that started it.

the pats traded with KC for oshaughnessy. hes staying.

they dont need to carry 3 QB's this year. they wont. oshaugnessy will be on special teams to start. he reminds me a bit me of a non lethal aaron hernandez. similar skill set and frame.

Here's what I said-

They didn't spent the 91st pick in the 2016 draft to cut a guy who has done everything they've asked him to do.


They neither kept O'Shaugnessy nor cut Brissett.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Did Trump have SJM deported?!?

LOL.......A lot of Trump supporters in our email chain....SJM was furious, and maybe now dead

 

[Blotch]

"I'm not really making an argument. JB isn't getting cut. "

everyone thought oshaughnessy was staying. he was more of a sure thing than jacoby.

they kept hollister...both of the twins actually...one on the PS.

nice story.

jacoby was going to be cut. so was dorsett. these moves are common for "to be cuts". 2 teams fill mutual needs rather than risk waivers.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Without looking, can you guess who is leading the AL in extra base hits? And he's leading by a pretty wide marign too. In fact, the top three leaders are not names you would expect.

I'm guessing Jose Ramirez

 

[navamind]

who the hell cares about whether a 3rd QB got cut or traded?
