All people who use the word "bigly" should be banned from this message board. In fact, they should be banned from earth.

As far as Gillislee, looks like a solid back who can do some damage. I can see him with 800+ yards and 10+ TDs. I think it'll be more run by committee, as we have Burkhead and a healthier Lewis added to the crew.

You seem like a nice, carefree and easy-going person who I would enjoy meeting at a party.

It's one of those 'you never know how you come across' because I figured I was more insufferable in person than online. I'll work to fix that.

In person you're oft accompanied by your charming wife which almost negates the downside

Is a " bigly hoot"a GOOD thing?

I thought Gillislee looked sharp and tough when we played Buffalo.

And while I think he has a solid chance to contribute for the Pats, and even a 50/50 chance to be a star, I'd take Gillislee's FO rating with a grain of salt. A decent, and maybe a scintilla above average back, Bilal Powell ended up number 3 on the list that put the new Pat's back at number 1. So...

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Our offense is scarier than a person who is like, super scary looking

I think you might be underrating Powell's performance in limited snaps, on an offense that couldn't throw the ball.

He was pretty damned good last year.

Well said.

Anyone who says "bigly hoot" has to go as well

I have no idea, but I strongly suspect "bigly hooters" is considered a good thing.

Unfortunately this thread has gone off the rails.. , Gillislee is an interesting acquisition that might be the guy who makes this team that much better..

Always have admired the aptitude of BB for signing guys like this who have low/moderate risk and high reward.. even though he has been in the league for 3 years has only 154 carries, so comparatively speaking has fresh legs..

Gillislee(3.2 Million) and Burkhead(3.15 Million) are ranked at 27 & 28 in compensation for NFL running backs.. good value, good depth.
