I was having an exchange with someone else before Vizzini barged into it with his weak flames.
And I was on topic.
Hey, I wish I didn't have to bear witness to shallow football commentary.
We all suffer here in one way or another.

I'll admit I had to Google Vizzini, but I like it!

Shame on you for having to Google Vezzini.

Of course, Fart Boy jumps at the excuse to start taking potshots again after the mod told him to stop.

It was a point of clarification.
We can go back to discussing the Steelers whenever you wish.

He is -totally- Vizzini.

Here's the scene for corroboration.

Truly, he has a dizzying intellect.

Seriously, you should ban yourself from the board for at least a day for having to look that up.

I'm tired of hearing that Russell Wilson is a "game manager" from little boys who base their NFL knowledge off fantasy football only. I've watched a ton of tape on Wilson this offseason, and that dude is so fun to watch. He has such a feel for the game. Yes, Carroll is the perfect coach for him and yes it is nice to have that defense and running game. But I'm all in on him. He has the rare ability to know what his limitations are and when to push the ball down the field and when to scramble a bit and create space to throw somewhere when the play breaks down. I don't care that he's an weirdly aggressive Mars Hill Christian or that the rumors about Golden Tate maybe hooking up with his wife are all kind of weird, I'm all in on him as a player. Give me him over any young guy other than Luck.

That's my two bourbon rant. Some joker on my talk radio is talking about how Jay Cutler and Matt Stafford are better QBs and I'm annoyed.

So what? You want to interrupt a nice pissing match to talk FOOTBALL?! I totally agree with you on Wilson. Both he and Kaepernick have great instincts and can do more than throw the ball. I'd take either of them on my team any day. As young QBs, they'll have their ups and downs, but their ups are pretty damn good.

Kaepernick is no Wilson.

Nah, I'd rather have Cutler. Pretty similar players at the same point in their careers, but Stafford seems to have more upside to me. Helps to have Calvin Johnson catching anything you throw within 10 feet of him.

Not quite. But I'd still take him over most of the QBs in the league. Wilson had the better season last year, but not by as much as people think.

Wilson: 13-3, 3357 yds, 26 TD, 9 INT, 539 rush yds, 1 TD
Kaepernick: 12-4, 3197 yds, 21 TD, 8 INT, 524 rush yds, 4 TD

Only huge difference is comp. pct. ... Wilson 63.1, Kaepernick 58.4. But I think he just had a down year. (He was at 62.4 the previous year)

Sign me up for either one.

You'd think having a guy like that at your disposal might lend itself to winning a few more games.

Eh. They were 7-9 and def should have been better. Passing defense was atrocious, and Stafford makes the mistakes at the worst times. Did someone mention Tony Romo?

Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon, already on an indefinite NFL suspension for substance abuse, arrested in Oklahoma for marijuana possession. He's obviously got a lot of issues, but I'll never understand how these guys can flush a lottery ticket away for the sake of a little weed.
