So... good things? He's brought good things.

Yeah. That's true, and a pain in the ass to keep track of when half of your peers work in Stockport

I think it's at least more than half important to establish 1, because it lays the foundation for 2. 2 is really hard to do without a foundation and solid identity, process, and culture. 2 without 1 is like working to be able to work; having two jobs; cleaning the house to clean the house; etc.

Haha. John, this happened 4 months ago.

SEVEN? I think it's 5 and 4 during daylight savings gaps.

In the first three tables of that article, I saw a lot of drops. I'm terrified of more drops.

I'm upset that I went to your profile to search topics you started back in September and find this particular thread, but it didn't exist. I was so excited, and now so disappointed.

It's both. You have to install a system and institute it as a program if you hope to sustain a team. If you don't have a system that dictates the types of players you need, your chances of hitting on draft picks drops, because you expose yourself to more variables when you're trying to find a player that will fit any scheme. By the same token, you consistently have to adjust your system based on league trends. You also have to adjust the system based on current strengths of personnel. You may have the types of players that you like for your system, but this may be a year that you have a really good secondary, for instance, and want to showcase it. Sometimes, maybe the type of player you want isn't there in the draft, but you've got a super-talented, can't-miss prospect falling into your lap, and you adjust to take advantage of their talents, but that's more of an exception case. I don't think anyone in the league can just consistently be dealt a new roster of players every year and build a whole system around them. It's about incremental adjustments when needed.

I was gonna say, you can't get from your car to the harbor without being stopped and asked for cash 3+ times.

From the article: "Zoë, a French bulldog tasked with providing emotional support, is spreading joy among the team with her infections smile and fun-loving personality." Yikes.

The Chiefs just weren't prepared. They spent the first week prepping to play the Bills!

Lol. Touche.

Speak for yourself. I want 5.

All of me thinks he deserves it.

He will or he'll be cut. You understand the offense we run, right? Sigh. Yep. Lol.

Exactly. I'll get like 100 bucks in my wallet and say "oh, this is gonna last me a while for when I'm anywhere that's cash only." Then I inevitably get drunk and spend it on tips or something.

That last sentence is key. I'm not sure I get the premise of the thread. Are we supposed to be underdogs all the way to the Super Bowl? What about the next year? Would no one pick a Super Bowl winner to win the next season? Are we only allowed to be good one year?

Holy god, dude. This is super long and nerdy- even for a guy that loves punters. Must've been hours of typing. Go get a hand massage (not from me, although I'm super good at that sort of thing) or something.

...not to be confused with the whine on these boards.

Totally. I can actually enjoy the defense in peace and quiet over there.

Well, if the Bills' coach is from the panthers and I'm a Bill's fan, and my best friend is a panthers fan and you're a panthers coach...that's some crazy stuff. It's full circle now. The Bills are actually just the panthers, and vice versa.

I think the hope is that Josh progresses during those 3-4 years to the point that you then can spend less money trying to surround him with top-level talent, and spend the extra money extending that window from 4 years to 15.

@Logic

So you like, "it just was," over rules? Meh Not me.

Lol. You're an idiot. Respond.
