QCity

Maybe he'll bring his son along too. Great!

I felt like a broken record saying this 5 years ago. At this point...

Spot on. Tyrod's stat line for this game should be Exhibit A as to why you cannot judge a QB on stats alone, you have to actually watch them play.

I didn't see many people using the booths last night. Here's my theory: The heavy drinkers typically paint themselves in the parking lot looooong before they enter the game, and the sober people want nothing to do with body painting.

Oh, and comparing John Elway the GM to Doug Whaley is like comparing John Elway the QB to EJ Manuel. Those names shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

Yes and Yes. The talent level of this team is very overrated by our fans.

So, Brandon has some degree of influence over the people hired to control football operations, but because he does not personally bear direct control of these football operations, he is absolved of all culpability? Is this a new part of Fayol's Theory of Management? This could signal a new dawn for executives across the nation.

Please change thread title to "Should Russ Brandon be on the Wall of Fame?"

Well it's a good thing I didn't say that then. I did read it, and I agree.

There is no need to repeat it, or to even say it in the first place. I think it's patently obvious that yes, if an owner does not like a coaching candidate there is nothing any President or GM in the league can do about it. If Doug Marrone had success from the get go, none of this is being discussed right now. If Chan Gailey had success from the get go, none of this is being discussed right now. If Dick Jauron had success from the get go, none of this is being discussed right now. What's the variable in this equation and what's the constant?

No, he certainly agreed with it. Probably influenced it more than most want to admit. You inferred that he had no other option even if he did disagree. And just because he hasn't been acting unilaterally in the past while wearing the title of President doesn't excuse him from his mistakes.

No, he doesn't have to tell him that. If he doesn't agree with the hire, he should voice his opinion on it.

You seem to be a bit misinformed. Russ sat in on the Rex interview, he is 100% responsible for the hire of Marrone.

Yeah, the "Marketing Man" typically sits in on coaching interviews. I guess the tooth fairy hired Doug Marrone?

It's a fruitless effort to try to reach the Brandonites. In the past I've likened it to deprogramming a Scientologist.

Hold the front office accountable? Did that thread get renamed and filled with different posts?

Ryan still knows the majority of this Jets' team better than their own coach. He also completely owns Fitz. This is one of the rare match-ups where I feel very confident about our coaching staff. With the help of 2 defensive TDs, the Kool-Aid will flow like Niagara Falls for 10 days after this trouncing. Bills 38 Jets 17

Max protect for an inexperienced QB. When Brady gets back, he'll probably slide into the Aaron Hernandez role, sans all the murdering.

I'll never forgive Vic for this loss.

Even with a young QB making his 1st start on the road vs. a top team in the league Garopollo never looked flustered. He didn't burn a single timeout. You would think there would be at least 1 instance of a defensive front or alignment that confused him enough to burn one, especially with the crowd noise. That's just amazing preparation and you have to tip your hat.

It's situational.

Wow, I didn't even realize the Chiefs came back from being down 24-3 to win. Crazy.

There's no need to turn on each other.
