These two should headline the next generation of TE's for the next decade (barring injuries). If I could fantasy draft a (real) franchise from scratch (say a neutral observer and they are 100% healed) I'd probably give the slight edge to Bowers, but all in all I'm glad we got McBride. I don't think there's a wrong answer, ideally it would come down to who works best for the system.

For Madden purposes, it definitely makes sense for McBride to be ahead, especially given the past year each of them had. That puts him in pretty rare and elite company though, (as a 99 AND a TE) so maybe madden generated a bit more buzz putting a TE at 99.

This btw is how you also make fans. Not only winning, but you need players to root for. Players that other people/fans respect. He's on his way to becoming a household name if he isn't already.

Gonna take a 99 rating to catch errant passes from Jacoby et al

Don’t think McBride had any problems catching TD passes from Jacoby last year

9 Day until training camp and two of our QBs for contractual reasons are currently not on track to be there. JB for a raise and Beck because the Raiders are worse than the Cardinals. Only 8 players remained unsigned and 4 of the them are the first 4 QBs selected. Also, zero word on any extensions to young players. Monti needs to stop acting like he is on vacation.

We’re nine days away from TRAINING CAMP OPENING and the prevailing feeling on this board is “can we just get this season over with already?”

Honestly it’s never felt this bleak in all my time here.

yeah... this is easily the darkest timeline, especially considering we're coming off 3 pretty awful years already.

Nonstarter to know BJ Ojulari ?

Wrong! Those times were fun! Jerry Sullivan installing a pass-first offense! Larry and Anquan (legendary preseason thread). Warner and then Leinart. Edgerrin James!

That was quite frankly the golden age on this board.

Maybe in bizarro world, this means we're headed for glory!!!
