Great musical legacy all the way back to Woodstock. Sad about the substance abuse. Thanks for the music, Sly. RIP

this always backfires

Our run first offense cut turnovers in half but it also resulted in Josh losing rapport with the WRs and TEs. By the end of the year we were playing turtle ball and it was very predictable. We had Shakir as a deep threat and no one underneath. Someone needs to step up this year for midrange receptions. I was impressed by the performances our coaching staff got out of our defense in the playoffs. We really can stop the run when we have to. I'm still waiting for a defensive playmaker to materialize. I'll be happy to get ten games of situational pass rushing out of Bosa. This is the last year I give Beane a pass on personnel. Josh is underpaid compared to much lesser QBs and his salary cap generosity is not being leveraged wisely. Without a pass rushing threat, I expect more disguised stunts and blitzes that work some of the time.

what's the over/under on the number of games he'll start?

A successful career by any measure. Enjoy the rest of your life Ronald. Thanks for the memories

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-14769723/Atlanta-Falcons-star-Kyle-Pitts-trade-NFL.html I attribute some of his failure to meet expectations to mediocre QB play

I remember all those SI articles about the Browns being a cutting edge Moneyball organization. We don't hear much about that anymore. I believe Jimmy Haslam has added QB Scout to his title. I suspect we'll see Flacco start the year. Once the Browns are eliminated, we'll see plenty of Shedeur and Gabriel. If the QB recycler Philadelphia Eagles have given up on Pickett after one season that tells me a lot. Now that Chubb is gone, they had better hope they struck gold at RB with Judkins. Their defense was world beating just a few years ago. Personally I feel sorry for the Bronny James and Shedeur Sanders of this world. They can never live up to expectations.

Now Rodgers can sign with the Steelers. This was the deal he is waiting on, no?

I'll forgive any coach who didn't succeed with the Jets because they (and the Bears) are the kiss of death. I think Todd Bowles has done an admirable job in TB. Herm Edwards put up a respectable showing in KC post Jets as well. Aaron Glenn has the makings of a good coach but putting your career in the hands of Justin Fields seems a high risk proposition. I'll bet that Sean Payton gets some trade value out of Zach Wilson. I agree with your point about different leadership styles suiting different situations. I was somewhat amazed and disappointed how quickly and badly Doug Pederson flamed out in Jacksonville. I thought he would do well with a young team and QB.

I'm glad to hear that defensive basketball is making a comeback. I have not been a fan of the era of designated defensive players in the sport. In the sports greatest eras, every player played defense. Sure there have always been selfish players who took defensive plays off but few of those won titles. I'm also tired of today's spoilt stars whining their way out of town and getting coaches fired. Watching the eastern European players succeed by taking free throws and rebounding seriously while the North Americans try and get on Sportscenter with an acrobatic slam dunk or gang thug signals is a marked culture shift. You're not a real basketball player if you don't play defense. Jordan and Lebron played defense at a very high level. Maybe that sounds like old man talk but scoring points in the absence of defense is meaningless. I grew up on the basketball of Paul Silas and Dennis Rodman and it was great! That said, I look forward to a return of defensive football to WNY. We haven't had much of that in the McDermott Beane era. A great franchise QB can make up for a lot. I get your point about team defense, Shaw. In theory, being able to bring pressure from anywhere allows you to keep the opponent off balance. But having a difference maker on D forces teams to double up on a single player which opens things up for the lunch pail guys. I don't doubt McDermott's knowledge of the game. He successfully shut down Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. I think it's time that Beane achieved the same personnel results as the Eagles and Rams who have stayed competitive while adding talent. We're closer than we think. If we get three starters on D from the draft and anything out of Bosa that might be enough.

People talk about the Decade of Fail in negative terms but I will tell you we had fun on the cheap in those years. We never paid more than $80 a ticket. We came across the border in one car and split on gas after stocking up on cheap refreshments at duty free. Back then the loonie was around 80 cents US$. My sister in law worked for one of the major hotel chains and got us the employee rate. We split a $55 dollar a night room four ways! Sure we saw some bad football but we also have some great memories.

I think he'll unretire once he can pass a physical. 34 is pretty young in QB years.

I'm hard pressed to think of a meaningful game the Niners won because of Purdy. His skill set is somewhere in the Jared Goff range

Yes but will he survive Baltimore?

any QB in Niners gear who has won a playoff game is considered Joe Montana Lite

I hear he's offering betting tips in the Papal Bull

we should limit ourselves to one retread pass rusher per year

any chance of catching a glimpse of AJ McCarron's wife? Asking for Brent Musberger
