How 'bout we merge and, i agree with max. I'm gonna be at the game and i don't really wanna watch any of it if i'm being honest but i really don't want to see Bortles out there, curious what McVay will do.

Speaking of starters and preseason, there's this:

or maybe max could simply start a "max's worry thread" which would encompass all of his other threads/posts:

- i'm worried the that rams are ranked too high in the latest power rankings
- i'm worried about when henderson will finally shine.
- i'm worried bortles could get killed against the broncos.
- i'm worried about gurley's workload.
- i'm worried about the lack of 50 yard runs.
- i'm worried about arthritis (altho feeling better now that i understand the nfl context).
- i'm worried about goff ranking behind so many qbs.
- i'm worried the rams didn't replace saffold with a saffold equivalent or better.

It's a good book too.

^ Interesting read.

Worry is a state of mind. I lean towards concern.
In this case concern comes from caring about something a lot, , and about a desired result possibly not coming to fruition. You have questions about TGII which don't allow you to be less 'concerned'.

That all seems reasonable to me. This is the NFL where anything can happen, and probably will.

I'd merge this thread but I believe Elvis' comment about Bortles was in the Raiders gameday thread a few pages back.

I just merged it. You can find my comments on the top of page 2...

paranoia? you don't strike me as paranoid, you strike me as a defeatist, a pessimist, a guy eager and willing to believe the bad news not the good, and you you seem to choose to wear the hat in an irrational effort to avoid disappointment.

Also in the Raiders Game 1 thread, at the top and bottom of the linked page.

I still don't see Bortles as a very big deal.

Well, you got the wrong take.

I'm paranoid with high anxiety. I look for things that can go wrong and try to eliminate them. Thats what I got paid to do.

The only starters that I feel will be playing,
are the open position battle between NT, SJD and Gaines,

And for ILB/the Mike position, they could sit out Hager now, since he knows the defense and doesn't have to compete with Kiser anymore....

So now we could see D. Allen, Patrick & Howard, battling for the number two spot....

Good points.

Makes sense to play all the young LBs.

Bingo
And in the event "bad things" happen, he can say "I told you so"
