I won't sell mine. I only have two. The one pictured (Benelli M4) and a Browning Gold that I got for a gift a few years back.

I don't know what they are really worth but they are both great pieces, that I won't sell, trade, or pawn.

Sorry for the hi-jack, but this thread needed a slight one. ;)
Mine is one of eight ever made and is supposed to be worth around 10 grand. I have some pictures of it posted on here.

Nope. You have to pass that one down to someone if that is the case. That's great. Something that rare is only going to be more valuable.

The problem with passing it down is I have daughters who do not like guns. I offered it to Ted Nugent. I was hoping he would buy it. He passed for now. It was cool that he even considered it.

That's what future son-in-laws are for. haha.

Seriously though like or dislike, if you pass it down to one of them and they don't want it...they sell it. For probably at least twice what it is worth now. Unless you need the cash to invest elsewhere, I would hold on to it.

My 2 cents.

Good win against the Giants, got to give him credit for that.
Comeback win against the Lions. Comeback. Suppose to do that.
Loss against the Saints.

So you want to sign him up for 5 years off that? Please.

First you had me signing him up for a lifetime term , now you've got me signing him to 5 year deal.

Not sure where your getting this stuff from or not sure how you think I have that much power to sign anyone to a contract.
Seems to me your just looking for an argument and your coming in with alot of bad info.

I gotta say I was wanting his bags packed before Wade's. You mentioned in a post that just because we were questioning him as an OC, he was still working with Wade's team and Wade's philosophy, and that he might excel at the HC position. Not verbatim, but that's what I got out of it a few weeks back.

Made me think.

I had a calculus instructor who graduated from Princeton that was an utter moron. She couldn't get her algebra correct, and we got tired of correcting her mistakes. She was bound to her own inadequacies, with no one else to save her from herself. Hence, with a master's, she was teaching in a community college.

I gave your thoughts a considerable amount of deliberation. I figured if Garrett's a HC in the making, he'll come from the Jimmy Johnson school. Let's wait and see if there are signs.

First practice, he has the team run out to the field. No more walking. Dress codes, fines. The exact team that folded under Wade in Green Bay goes toe to toe with NYG, gets hit in the mouth, spits the blood, and swings back.

The same team that folded under Wade goes down 17-0 in the first quarter. I was on the road, almost in the exact stretch of highway where I first turned on the Washington/Philly game to hear them kick the extra point to make it 21-0, in the first quarter. I was thinking we're one mistake from being 24-0 and laughed out of the NFC East. Then I thought if this team, and Garrett, are truly ready to fight, they'll keep it respectable.

Count me in on riding shotgun in the Garrett bandwagon.

well expressed.

If Jerry Jones gets the hell out of the way, Garrett will be fine.

If Jones starts to water down Garrett's authority or make Garrett's message to the team murky, get ready for more of the same that we've been seeing for over a decade.

:signmast:
 
I'm still not sold on Garrett.

He's definitely got the team playing harder, making something out of nothing

But every now and then, those same head scratching decisions he made as OC rear their ugly head. I think he's got all the intagibles to be a great head coach, but he needs a lot of training still and I'm not sure if I like the idea of going with a head coach who is learning on the job. I'm definitely not anti-Garrett anymore, though. And I think he's been a lot more responsible as a playcaller now that he's in charge of the whole team.

But I'd still like to see those boneheaded decisions go away

Is it because they didn't work? I mean seriously, which HC doesn't make bone headed Decisions according to fans, after the fact? For example, last week, against Lions, on 3rd and 15, he gives Barber the ball to run, when under most scenarios, it should have been either minimal gain or even as loss with the way Barber has been running. If didn't work or was a loss, pretty sure fans would have said it was idiotic call.

But that becomes a brilliant call. Is it the call that is brilliant or execution that is brilliant?

Personally only call I thought was questionable was last series, where they didn't try even a short throw to the middle in three tries to make FG slightly easier. But then thats a 2 min drive and mostly QB makes the calls. So not sure if it was Garrett or Kitna who made that mistake.

I find it hard to see bone headed decisions, since if Roy didn't fumble the ball, the Cowboys would have come back and won the game, behind largest deficit ever in their history. Especially against a real good team.

I am not saying you shouldn't have doubts about Garrett, each to his own. But Bone headed decisions?? Questionable calls, maybe, but there will always be those for fans. Since every body is a great Monday morning QB. Simply put, Bone Headed decisions don't get the team from 17 points down against a real good team, especially with a Backup QB.

Do you mean like Bill Belichick's boneheaded decision last year against Indianapolis to go for it on 4th and 3 on their side of the football field in the 4th quarter?

Sometimes, Coaches get a feeling that it is the right time to try something. Sean Payton's onside kick in the Super Bowl will be lauded as a gutsy call. If Indy had recovered the ball it would have been boneheaded.

That is the problem with focusing on whether a play works or not. You have no idea what the design of the play was, or how it was supposed to work. If all you see are end results then you really don't see anything at all.

I really wish I could articulate my thoughts like you do.

Very well put.

It's a great point, and what so many Cbz OC's miss.

Yep.

I've been trying -- and failing -- to say the same thing for awhile this year.

Only mind would be "You can't judge playcalling based on whether it works or not"

However I think saying, "If all you see are end results then you really don't see anything at all" is much, much better.
