  1. It's not, you look at the film to see who missed their assignments, who ran the wrong routes etc. He knows what happened on the field. You can't correct it without evaluating the specific breakdowns. You find the failure, identify the cause the proceed with the correct.
  2. I understand the frustration but they did make the playoffs last year. They're not exactly 0-17
  3. Jesus Christ if Beane pulls something like that off I'll start the fundraising drive to build his statue!
  4. This isn't unique to the newspaper business. It happens in companies all across America at a regular basis. It's literally the Jack Welch business model.
  5. Fitz is hysterical. Lots of players all over the league have been saying this for years. One point of note, I remember listening to one of the discussions with Jordan Palmer. He said Fitz is one of the funniest guys he's ever met. He went on to say he thinks Josh Allen might be funnier.
  6. Print media is a dying entity. It is destined to go the same way as the pager and the walkman. Trying to keep it alive because of some nostalgic draw is as foolish and trying to maintain steam powered transportation.
  7. True but the FB position is going extinct in the modern NFL. There are so many other sets that you can use that are far more productive.
  8. One thing I've notice in all the footage of Allen from today. Dabol is in his shadow.
  9. Zay won't have to catch the ball this year, Allen's just going to embed it in his chest.
  10. It would have been hysterical is Allen had just pulled a "Wild Thing" and airmailed the ball over the guy he was throwing it to.
  11. "Hard Knocks" is not part of the process. It is disruptive to the process. Hard Pass
  12. What kind of crazy person grills prime rib?
  13. The contention that a guy with a 37 Wonderlic can't read a defense is absurd. Almost as absurd as the suggestion that footwork can't be improved. If accuracy statistics were a lead indicator Colt McCoy would be Tom Brady.
  14. I didn't realize is was Terrible Idea Thursday?
  15. The work done by Sal C. andpodcasters like Eric Turner, Matt Fairburn, Joe B, Nate Geary etc. is so far superior in content that it makes WGR seem laughably bad. Enough the ultimate homer, John Murphy, put on a show Friday that was exceptional. All day it was guests and insight, not just option from unqualified radio jocks.
  16. Professional golfers will tear down their entire swing and rebuild it. It's a series of complex positions that need to be duplicated perfectly where an error of 2 degrees is massive. Suggesting that you can't fix a mechanical throwing issue with far greater tolerances is silly, especially when the majority of the cause is in the feet. If you look at the breakdown where he misses the throw to the RB, there are literally 3 defensive players coming at him unblocked. Every component matters.
  17. I prefer QB's who can see the middle of the field, throw it to guys who are wide open and throw for more than 100 yards a game. Will Allen be that guy? Who knows but we definitively know that Tyrod wasn't.
  18. Nathan Peterman had a 61% completion percentage against ACC elite level talent. I guess that means he's awesome right?
  19. I agree, I think a basic level of accuracy in intrinsic. I believe that better coaching of fundamentals and tweaks to positioning can also make a world of difference. From all reports, it looks like Allen has been putting in a ton of work since his season ended. I had a really bad feeling about drafting a QB with multiple concussions and a neck injury.
  20. Nathan Peterman had a 60% completion percentage in college. It's one measurable based on infinite variables.
  21. Accuracy issues in college are a tricky statistic. The final measurable is the result of numerous variables. Wrong reads, wrong routes etc. Bottom line is, everything can go right and the WR can still drop the ball. It's entirely possible that Allen isn't the most accurate passer in the draft. It's also entirely possible that the rest of the players around him are downright awful.
