I'm literally in a chat with a couple of them on FB, I hear all the tea.

That would explain the very selective enforcement, or lack thereof, but I accepted that a long time ago

So you felt the need to quote me, who ...checks receipt... wasn't involved in your spat with the other guy....a guy I've blocked a while ago..... after the Mods told both of you to cool it?
How would you know what the mods did? Interesting. Still haven't called anyone names over it so what's the issue?
Try to avoid blocking people but that's probably the move here, good call.

What's wild here is that I started off by saying that people who liked Reggie Kelly shitting on Drew Sample are weird, and you turned that into some psychobabble nonsense that was never said.
Seems to me you're telling on yourself, but hey you could have just kept it about football.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You should check the receipts bud. We were talking about football and someone brought up Sample sleeping with someone's wife. I called that out as weird, reversed the accusation and then the name calling started.
Nice try with the gaslighting but it's all posted there in order so it kinda fails. Unless someone has an agenda, that is.

Not my place, that's for your therapist..... God bless them.
Yeah you know the usual bs, I don't like or question a move the team made so I must be clinically depressed and someone is very concerned. Goofy af.

These mocks always seem to get kind of random right before the draft. Smoke screen bullshit leaked by the teams, media overthinking picks, IDK.
I'd like to say waiting until the bottom of the 3rd to address the OL is a sign of that craziness, but after watching them skip it entirely in the last draft I'm not so certain.

Seems to me they're afraid to risk trading Browning. They'd be giving up the opportunity to go 9-8 if wide zone concepts send Burrow to IR again. Seems kind of silly but 9-8 does keep butts in seats/eyes on TV better than 5-12. That's the only reason I can see for keeping a 2nd string QB instead of trying to flip him for a starter.

Then that's a double mistake. Teams should pay for future production, not past achievements. Sample has been in the NFL for 5 years and half his career catches and over half his yardage came back in the 2020 season. That's not even the recent past and if they just wanted to reward him for being a good boy, they could have done it last year when he was also a free agent who didn't attract interest from any other team. I don't recall him even being noted as taking visits elsewhere before re-signing with the Bengals for the vet minimum.
Gesicki should be an upgrade over the Smith/Hudson combo from last year. But they played more snaps than Sample.
Sinnott seems to be a late 3rd rounder in most mocks lately, comparable with Stover. Bowers is first obviously, then Sanders usually goes in round 2. Sinnott/Stover, even Theo Johnson go in the 3rd.
A scenario where we manage to draft this guy with a comp pick would be pretty cool.

Arguing over inconsequential things is boring
Clearly we're in that part of the offseason
So maybe just don't read it instead of pretending we have the credentials to psychoanalyze someone with a bunch of painfully transparent concern trolling nonsense based on an argument over pro football. That is also an option available to everyone.
Honestly...
Sorry I don't like someone's favorite jock but in fact life is pretty good lately. As if anyone actually gives a shit and wasn't just trying to win an argument about (checks notes) a marginal 2nd string pro football player.
Psychoanalyze that, maybe.

It's weird to me to see people understand the importance of Reggie Kelly shit on Drew Sample.
It's weird to me we can't argue about something so inconsequential without people getting in their feelings, yet...

I am a therapist....it is projection. And Drew Sample is the greatest TE that the world has ever seen.
You sound immensely qualified and while I'd love to continue the discussion about Drew Sample or TE's in general, apparently this is a "Let's talk about someone's wife" thread now. Which is a very normal and not-weird thing to interject, I think you'd agree.
Judging from the Joe Mixon threads all we need is a few more authoritative declarations of how the team won't cut him. When that happens you know he should be packing his bags

Sorry to the board in advance, but this needs to be done.Weird you say huh? Let’s talk about weird.
It’s weird how you say “it’s really not that serious” yet you have how many posts in this thread about this? All repeating the same damn thing. A barrage of them, you and Sparky both. You won’t STFU about it. Constantly bringing Samples salary and worthlessness up and bringing everyone else here down. You think you haven’t made your feelings about it known after this many posts? How much time have you put into those posts for something that’s “not that serious”. Now THAT’S Weird!
And I’m the one that needs to get a grip? lol
Know what else is weird? Saying that I’m defending someone who doesn’t know me; in Drew Sample, and who I’m inconsequential to yet here you are defending Sparky who we could say the same about with you.

LOL this mf thinks he's a therapist now & Designated Spokesman for Everyone tl;dr
Get over yourself, goofball. Tell it to your Drew Sample Fathead sticker or something, IDK, but you sound positively triggered rn

Lame band? Wash your mouth out. That's one of Vince Clark's songs but I think the band was better after he left.
I agree but it's like 2 different bands, his era of DM was early Erasure. I'm a fan of both & "New Life" is a favorite, but prefer later DM overall. They found an edge while Erasure carried on as synth pop.

I like what I've read. Where is he supposed to land in the more recent mocks?

He's our TE this year.
Let it go..
Mm, no, that'd be Mike Gesicki. Doubtful that Bowers makes it past 10-12 but maybe Sanders or Stover are there in the 2nd. Sinnott from K State is supposed to be a good blocker that can catch, if a tad slow downfield, so could be an option in the mid rounds. Point being if they draft someone like that it'd probably make Sample the 3rd string TE in short order.
But hey, ya know.. Go off.
This whole kerfuffle started because I suggested Drew Sample probably wouldn't still be here if they hadn't spent a 2nd round pick on him initially. I'll stand by that. It doesn't mean he sucks outright or kicks puppies, just that the team seems to overvalue the guy despite his lack of production based on a scouting report from 5 years ago. Then as it turns out, his blocking isn't actually that great according to people who try to grade this stuff.
Why it angers some fans to even suggest that.. I have no idea.

So, Patrick Queen is going to start blasting guys with uppercuts to the chinstrap, helmet first, (i.e. following in Ryan Shazier's "well rounded, game changing, long awaited footsteps")?
Can only hope it turns out the same way for him, only sooner.

Tobin would probably claim it sends the message that "we reward our own" or some such. Players might well take it differently, like "play internal politics and you'll get ahead".
That's a Good Thing ™️ when they're being rewarded for football reasons. When they let draft position or money owed weigh into things it gets murkier. Makes it seem like the decision makers are more concerned with covering their asses when they screw up. It's odd because even the best GMs/scouts whiff sometimes, but also because the team almost never fires anyone to begin with. What's the concern?

If there's one thing we know about the NFL, it's that QB-needy teams will pay, either for hope (Zach Wilson and Trey Lance were top 3 picks) or even more so for production, ie Kirk Cousins 45 mil deal. If the Bengals were willing to trade Browning, he would be worth at least a 3rd round pick and maybe a 2nd. Some team is likely to take Penix before then and he didn't break Browning's career records at U Dub and has never played a snap in the NFL. While Browning has played at an above average level when given the chance. Nobody is going to hold it against Jake that he didn't beat out Burrow for the starting job. But all known evidence is that he's one of the 32 best QBs in the NFL.
It seems they'd rather keep an insurance policy in case Burrow gets hurt than risk it trying to get better players so he doesn't get hurt. Pretty much how they operate in general.

Since when? They replaced a bad RT that started every game with a better RT that's only managed to do that once in the last 5 years. That's not exactly a solution.

He's a sunk cost. That shouldn't be an obstacle to upgrading the blocking TE position if the chance presents itself on day 3. We have 10 picks this year.
Glad someone here understands what that means and the sort of message it sends to the locker room.
People act like pointing this out means we think he should be taken behind the stadium and dumped in the river. Kinda emotional in here IDK. Like this "did he sleep with your wife"" shit? Nah bro but it sounds like you'd like to watch him with yours. Weird.

Justin Smith was a far more productive DE than Sample is a TE. They do have one thing in common though: career longest reception (INT return).*
Sample is actually 23 yards vs Smith's 21 but...
Remind me why he had to play the role of blocking RB again? I'll give you a hint:
Not sure how he was the "12 starter" playing <50% of the offensive snaps but sure, OK. I mean, they'd have to spend at least a 5th round pick to replace that kind of production at a fraction of the price.
Hey who knows, maybe his 6th NFL season will be his breakout year.

I dunno. He wants to throw—all the time. His HC wants to throw—all the time. Not really seeing a friendly meeting in the middle with the RB room.
He's going to keep having friendly meetings with the rehab staff instead if they don't figure it out.

Nah just kinda obvious that some people can say whatever they want.
It always gets hella weird around here this time of year though, think I'll check back in for the draft.
