1. You said the largest data point was 2 years to win. 2. I have reviewed hundreds of papers and grants. Your presentation would be rejected because you chose an analysis designed to prove a preformed conclusion. I see this all the time. 3. The data does not disprove what I said, a stable front office includes GMs. Pittsburg and NE have won the most SBs. Stable structures helped there but of course were not the only thing , such as having great QBs. Which is my point, and why yours is not necessarily meaningful.

Success in football is a multi factorial process. The analysis provided here is a good example of correlation not equaling causation. Take the 2 year data point. It is intimated that a new HC can put together a winner in 2 years. The much more likely reason is that the necessary players were already there and the new coach had an advantage going in. Gruden in Tampa Bay would be a good example. While I’m not an Einstein I am a scientist with 40 years experience in research, including acting as a reviewer for many journals and for the NIH and FDA. What you see here is a classic example of deciding on a conclusion, then looking for data to support it, rather than asking a research question then looking at all data that relate to it. The term is ascertainment bias. I believe stability in the front office gives a better chance of success than not. Having a consistent philosophy allows one to draft and select FAs that fit your philosophy vs. changing philosophies every time the HC or GM changes.

Good move. The best franchises have stability in the front office

If Diggs’ issue is not getting the ball more good thing we didn’t sign Hopkins. He’d take a lot of Diggs targets away.

The grass is always greener on the other side. Until you actually get to the other side.

Never listen to him. About the only thing I listen to is Mad Dog, and that's because it happens to be on when I'm driving home, and because it's entertaining to listen to him rant (not that his rants make any sense for the most part). Just win baby.

The hardest thing in sports is to predict who will or will not work out as a HC/manager. The required skill set is different than that needed for an assistant coach or coordinator.

You are being ridiculous at this point.

The quote about Marino and Allen is just silly. Moon and Kelly come to mind, both HOFers. If you’re going to be silly better not to comment.

Is anything I said incorrect regarding what we added?

Davis was hurt a lot of the season. I anticipate a much better year.

Our first two draft picks addressed offense. Best receiving TE in the draft to give Josh another weapon, big guy for the middle of the O line where we were vulnerable last year. Plus two other Guards in free agency and competition for Brown at RT. A bigger RB to complement what we have in the backfield. But we did nothing on offense. Right.

Whatever

They drafted the best receiving TE in the draft.

One way to handle it - have Von and Floyd find him, pin his ass to a wall, and tell him if he doesn't get his act together they will kick the tar out of him.

With McD calling the D signals this coming season, what do you think will look different over Frazier calling the shots? I think we’ll see our corners playing up on WRs more to keep them from getting into their routes. And I think we’ll see a lot more stunts up front to free up the pass rush.

He’s a solid DT with flashes of greatness. Glad we’re keeping him around.

Well done Bandits! My nieces took us to a playoff game last year when we were in town. Loved the action; I’d get season’s in a heartbeat if I still lived in town.

And Tucker gets clicks now. Just like he planned it.

I think he had long Covid. And if so that affects a lot of his physical activity.

Forget just football. He may be the GOAT for sports in general. Watching him when I was a kid was something special.

Can’t believe I forgot that. Thanks.

He belongs but he quit on Ralph twice. So it’s never going to happen.
