  1. It's actually a pretty simple formula. First you get players, then you add winning.

     

    First you need ownership with a clue that is willing to spend wisely (pending and hopeful on that one)

     

    Then you hire a top-level scouting team

     

    The rest will start to work itself out

     

    But you could muddle around and hope to squeak out a WC massacre loss once every 20 years or so

    You could believe that and you'd be wrong. You could have gone 0-16 every year.

     

    1/3 of the NFL is putrid and rancid beyond belief every season. 0-16 is a twice in a lifetime occurrence.

  2. Everything seems easy to the non-expert, but when someone works in a field at a professional level, they see that it's far more complicated than they imagined before. In short, until you know more about something, you don't realize how little you actually know about it.

     

    No, that's not quite how it works, you had better know a heck of a lot more than people not making 6 or 7 figures to do your job.

  3. I was just watching the greatest Niners of all-time on NFL Network, and number 3 was Ronnie Lott. Which made me think of how much easier it is to complete a pass today than is was 20-30 years ago. I'm sorry there are waaaaaaaaaay too many people in this thread who just don't understand how much the rule changes have helped the offense in the NFL and have help QB's increase longevity.

    Boasting about Joe Montana to young fans is like the old timers going on about Sammy Baugh and Bronco Nagurski in the 1970s...

  4. I don't get the Manning love...he was absolutely great in the regular season...but man, when the pressure was on, he, more often than not , crumbled miserably.....9 times he had a 1 and done...9!

     

    We can't also ignore the fact the for most of his career, he played in a cozy dome.....that certainly helped the stats....

     

    And finally, his 2nd SB was on the back of a great Denver defense.....he was one of the worst QB in the NFL that year.....

     

    and Manning had a better skill position squad than Brady ever dreamed of.

     

    playing in cold weather has to take it out of a man over the years, playing at 72 degrees for more than half your games was helpful

  5. Reagan put his plan into place stating it would cause an even worse fall into a massive recession (carter started it) and it was brutal.

     

    And he won easily in re-election, against a media that was as hostile to him as they are to Trump. And people actually watched the news or bought a newpaper back then.

  6. Means that getting all hyped up over Duke getting a 4 or 5 seed in the ACC is a joke. They are in anyways, probably playing close to home the first weekend of the madness.

     

    Old enough to remember when the only team in the NCAA tourney were the winners of the conference championship games. The ACC had to leave 2 teams in the top 5 nationally at home every year.

     

    Midmajors had more sway than the top conferences, lots of them beat nobody to get well into the later rounds and a few finals.
