I could see why Biden thought George Clooney was Clark Gable.

I actually think Coleman's ceiling is high but not easily attainable. He has a lot of traits that remind me of Davante Adams. Adams has arguably ended up becoming the best WR to come out of that gifted 2014 class. Mike Evans is great and unbelievably consistent but he was never the best WR in the game like Adams was for several years in his prime. Once Adams caught up with Evans in 2017 he has been the better player and their career numbers are pretty close despite Adams struggling early due to lacking any one incredible natural trait to allow him to win matchups immediately as a pro. Coleman has that basketball level athleticism with size that you don't see a lot of in the NFL. That should allow him to develop the nuanced aspects of the position. He will have to work like Adams did(and prove as smart as Adams) to get that polished and that's probably not "likely" but he seems to be a good character guy so it's possible. Nothing I saw in 2024 has changed my mind despite his struggles. I was actually a bit surprised by the success he did have.

I'm young. I don't remember the 1890s 😂 EDIT: Of course production matters be all and end all.

Slay has been an elite corner the majority of his career. I think much more likely 2023 was just a down year for an ageing player than Fangio being responsible for the rebound. As for Baun - certainly possible. I'm sure Fangio was involved the in the evalution to fit him into a different scheme than he had played in. I am not saying Fangio had no impact. But Talent > Coaching always and forever in the NFL. Coaching matters. Talent matters more.

I tend to agree with you philosophically. But on the flip side, didn't Andre Reed play mostly out of the slot? Production is production, regardless of where it comes from, right?

I suppose Darius Slay having a resurgent year and Zach Baun going from a mid tier FA to an All-Pro had nothing to do with coaching either.

To be fair, losing is losing... those years after the early 2000s were absolutely terrible and the litany of QBs we had to endure. Two seasons of 2-14 pales in comparison with the worst non-playoff streak in Bills history. Every decade the Bills made the playoffs except for the 2000s. Even in the 1970s when the Bills were abysmal after Kemp retired they STILL made the playoffs and had Fergy.

What are the safeguards to prevent an empty vessel POTUS again? Oh I don't know maybe holding those who conspired to foist an empty vessel POTUS upon the American people friggin accountable for what they did would be a good start? Nah ..let's just move on!

Look at you reduced to Taylor Swift tweets. How sad. Go outside or something.

Not doubting your post, but where did you see he put on more muscle and looks quicker this offseason?

Yea you are way off base. The Chiefs defense did not suck under Sutton. Not at all. They were top 10 in points 4 times in 6 years and top 10 in yards twice. They were good in the playoffs too. There was basically no change under Spags until they threw multiple day 1 and 2 picks at the unit. That is when the D majorly improved. Spags history is he is very good with good talent. But when he had lesser talent he does not get that talent to over perform. As for Philly - yes they sucked in 2023. No question. And Fangio made a big difference. No question there either. But getting a rebound year from Darius Slay, adding Zach Baun and three secondary guys in Mitchell, DeJean and Gardner-Johnson was the biggest change. That talent infusion was the #1 reason for the improvement.

That Greg Bell fellow looked pretty good, bet he anchored the backfield for many years to come in Buffalo! /s

4-2 before being benched for the corpse of Russell Wilson is not the flex you think it is for a guy who has been in the league for 5 years.

Well the Chargers lost Palmer now. So is Ladd gonna be a 50-50 outside guy? I’m thinking no.

so it's not the talent then......

he can't run all those routes with an injured wrist...

From day one Boldin has been my comp for Coleman. Boldin certainly did well playing from the slot, esp with Saints, and I feel pretty sure Coleman can line up as a big slot. But for the majority of Boldin's career, certainly earlier on, he lined up outside and was very effective in that role. Even in his last year he lined up outside for 45% of his snaps. His career average depth of target is 12.8 yards, similar to Larry Fitzgerald or Brandon Marshall. Boldin was also used to attack all field levels and had a diversified route-running skill set. Boldin was slower than Coleman. Boldin was good from the get go. Coleman is more a work in progress. But I don't think he is necessarily limited or incapable of significant improvement/development. Actually I tend to think he can. Like you I say he needs to do what Boldin did - win with ball skills, toughness, length, physicality, smarts, yac etc...

The 2018 Chiefs had defensive talent. They had guys like Chris Jones, Dee Ford, Justin Houston, Charvarius Ward, Kendall Fuller. Sure they added guys and let some guys walk but they weren’t a defense of no-names. Chris Jones was a star pre-Spags and they still sucked. Adding George Karlaftis wasn’t the difference. No more than adding Greg Rousseau was transformative for our defense. Is your take that the Eagles went form worst to first defensively more because they added a starting CB and a part time CB in the draft instead of completing changing their scheme for the other 12-13 guys who were already on the roster? If so, I think you’re wrong there as well. The talent was already there in Philly and they still sucked in 2023. Mitchell and DeJean are both nice players, but they weren’t more important than Fangio.

Tell us you are into masochism, without saying you are into masochism. 🤣
