  1. Yeah, that was a pretty bizarre deduction of what took place. Sure he could have set his feet better but the throw was on the money, in rhythm for YAC. Olsen should know better than that for how good a player he was.
  2. Well, watching this game I thought to myself “let’s go see the board”. Then held off. After that hot knife through butter drive, I couldn’t resist. You guys did not disappoint!!!! 😂
  3. Absolutely. He looks to be the guy many thought we’d draft here. Hope it continues and he produces. Jaxson Dart may end up keeping Daboll in a job lol
  4. Agree. Not a huge fan of talking heads but a lot of the talk is “QBs with the most to prove”. Caleb is brought up a lot. Rightly so. He has to show improvement on his decision making. Now whilst the line play wasn’t that great, a lot of his decisions were at fault. Can’t hang on to the football for 4 seconds to throw in this league. Couple that with what they added last year for him, this year the moves they’ve made and a moderately decent defense to boot, he has to showcase the abilities they drafted him #1 overall. Time will tell indeed but the clock is ticking.
  5. Disagree man. Those past playoffs alone proves he was a top 10 guy in this league. Easily. Especially the Chiefs game.
  6. Always liked Poyer, the mighty Bush played a part in his downfall. Thankfully the double cushions he had to fall down on propped him up I guess!
  7. You might be right but if they couldn’t have traded and got Josh, maybe they end up with Lamar? Maybe Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones or Dwayne Haskins? Burrow, Tua or Herbert? Lawrence, Wilson, Trey Lance or Mac Jones? Guess we’ll never know… thankfully! All Praises to Josh!
  8. Wrongly utilized more often than not. Similar to Watkins, a lot of his collegiate dominance was due to quick passes and screens, something you seldom saw him being deployed in. A lot of great players that never panned out over those years, sadly. Can’t fault Ralph really, Nix was that older mentality that he probably gravitated to. Double down with the networking he had within the league and it did kind of make sense. Russ Brandon, at least to me, was the biggest part of Ralph’s problems. Certainly mismanaged a lot of the improvement/building of the teams over his tenure.
  9. Perfect amount. Congrats to Cook!
  10. Walk away from their first and second offers if it’s the brand new model/year of a vehicle. Wait until the new models are being out on lots. They’re desperate to get rid of the previous year, managed to get a new Suburban 5 years ago doing this; was around 20% off.
  11. You don’t like Snicken Nuggies?!?
  12. Ralph.
  13. Agree. Think he’s a low end starter for a few teams in this league.
  14. My grandfather collected model trains from when he was stationed in Germany during WW2. Marklin’s were his go to. Had 100+ and quite a few Krauss’s. Hope the collection serves you well and lots of enjoyment!
  15. Massive character flaws going into that process? Sure. I can see that. Whether it was resentment from the league on his fathers statements or specifically the attitude, capability or reliability he did or did not express who knows. What I can say is after watching him grade his performance moderately low and repeated statements about being there for change, playing for his teammates on top of a thankfulness for an opportunity speaks volumes to some humility he has whether shown previously or not. It’s there and was on display post game. Not the biggest fan of the style he’s inherited from his father but I can’t fault it. He’s a young kid growing up in the shadow and expectations of Deion. Wish nothing but the best for each and every person living their dream or the monotonous 9-5 grind. Shadeur Sanders included.
  16. If you’re going that route then you’d obviously want thresholds, high and low, for each position that adjust as and to the salary cap. Or you make contracts virtually performance based. Can’t see the majority of players or their agents agreeing to that. That would however be an ideal for middle ground but not reliant.
  17. Well said Muppy. I agree completely. Very similar to the situation in Pittsburgh with Tomlin. He has his warts but for the most part the team is very successful with the rosters/teams they put out each year. Might get a guy who makes the super bowls consistently but might be in and out. The real question about a coaching change should come if we still can’t get to the Super Bowl and the Pats and Jets improve within these next two seasons to be contending for division champs. The leash is getting shorter for McD and realistically it needs to but in the bigger picture with the way coaching changes work out, we may end up worse off in the course of Josh’s final 7-10 years.
  18. Seemed like the guy calling plays on the other team knew how to attack soft coverage. Most of the plays were quick hitters, defense didn’t get a chance.
  19. lol so he was wrong then shifted to reasoning why he was wrong and explained the reasoning he feels they’re doing what they did? Yikes. Talk about jumping at shadows man.
  20. A few Elway’s, I see it. A few Favre’s, definitely. Cam Newton? Can’t disagree about the same willingness to run through or over a defender like Cam did. But honestly, @MJS said it best… There is no comparison. Never seen a QB like The Big Blue Winter Soldier.
