Governor

This would explain the “nah” tweet about his restructure.

After listening to Beane, production was definitely a key factor in the decision. He said “The years Steph and Josh were clicking they were as good as anyone out there” which tells you that he felt there were also years where that DIDN’T happen.

He’s creating drama for no reason.

Can’t argue that. I would have also. Baby steps.

I’m very proud of Beane today. That’s how you do it. That’s how you stay good in this league.

I’m surprised we got anything for him and keeping him another year is a somewhat wasted roster spot. Something had to be done.

A 2nd is good. He’s no longer worth that.

What is the pick? I doubt it’s much. Good move regardless.

Touch on screens and dump-offs and long ball accuracy are definitely his biggest weaknesses. I don’t think he will ever fix it. He throws the ball too hard.

Beane drafts BPA at position of extreme need in McD’s weird defense so that eliminates quite a few players that are likely better overall talent.

If every Trumper gave him $6.25 he could pay it off so check your inboxes for that email that dropped this morning and help the guy out.

The judge added it all up and that’s what the amount is. They didn’t just make up a number. It’s listed in the case paperwork. There’s 400 million in fraud. He also owes 200 million on Trump tower so they will have to take a bunch of his properties. He took loans out on all of them. I don’t think the banks should get anything. They knew he was a fraud and still gave him money. They should lose their ass for that decision.

Watch your back McBeane! Can he catch a football?

It would have to be a team like the Texans. Hope it’s for more than a 5th.

Beane gets these types of players so McD can go mostly defense in the draft. He’s done it most years. We won’t draft a WR1 until Diggs is gone the following year. There’s going to be some angry people on draft day. They will likely attempt to copy KC and draft a physical CB and safety. Their goals of this draft: -Get bigger -only draft positions that develop quickly.

Really the biggest one is Privatization via the funneling of tax payer dollars into private hands. They’ve been trying to cause the collapse of the public school system for at least 50 years now. Same thing with social security, the post office, and everything else. Destroy it, then privatize it. That’s why we see all of this recent nonsense with the school boards, culture wars, etc. That’s what the Heritage Foundation would like more than anything else and they created the platform Trump is currently running on. When the GOP saw the demographic shifts on the horizon back in 2003, they decided to focus primarily on the courts since there just wouldn’t be that many more elections left to win in the future. Mitch immediately started that process and that has continued to today. That was strictly a survival tactic because they already knew the party wasn’t gonna make it another generation. Here we are. This might be the end. The prediction was that unless the GOP did an absolute 180 on most issues, became a “big tent” party like the Dems recently did, and reached out to minorities, they would become a permanent minority party in 20 years. I think we’re there after this election. They obviously did the opposite. lol. Trump might’ve set them back another 20 years. They can’t even get to the rebuild stage until he’s totally out of the picture. Now he’s got his family and others embedded throughout, family controls the party’s money, etc. He’s not gonna stop until there’s nothing left. It might not ever come back. Not in my lifetime at least.

So that was week 4 or 5? I think that’s the one I remember most too. He almost didn’t get up. He got slammed quite a few times but that one was bad.

I don’t know how many others feel the same as me but one of my issues with him, other than being totally useless in the playoffs, is that his entire game is geared towards avoiding contact. This year teams got tired of that and just started picking him up and slamming him on his head. That might be where his injury occurred. Avoiding contact oftentimes resulted in him going down really awkwardly the last 2 seasons. I cringe every time someone is hanging off of him. I think he should either be fearless and dive for yards, or get down on the ground. I’m fine with either one. No more just standing there with 3 guys hanging off of you and then getting powerbombed. Other than that, he could probably be a good #2 next season or not.

I’m with you on talent but shouldn’t these average players be a bit better with a lot less unforced errors if we truly had an elite coach? I think so. I don’t think we need 7 elite players but 4-5 would be nice.

I guess it was floating around X and now people on Reddit are saying the report is false. Popcorn time! I assumed (without reading) that was what this thread was about.

Apparently the report that Dawkins was given permission to seek a trade is false.

It’s fake dude. I would trade him though.

Yes. Cincy played defense. They cracked the code on Mahomes. Is it just unfamiliarity with Reid and Cincy’s coach? There could be some truth to that but it’s more about how their team is built. It could be both. Nothing is ever absolute. All we can really go by is the absolute beatings they gave us, and then KC. I don’t think anyone would argue that they’re not the much better coached team and scheme. Cincy has shown that they can be calm and calculated on offense whether they’re up by 10 or down by ten. We have not shown that in the McD era. They also have a defense that doesn’t give up 17 points in 3 minutes of play. We haven’t shown any of that maturation at any point in the Josh era. They also have a disruptive D-line once the playoffs starts, another thing we haven’t seen in the McD era for the exception of the Raven’s game. They are pretty much everything that we should want to be. All of the things needed to win a championship. Cincy almost won that SB, so not only did they beat KC, they almost and probably should have won that SB. They are the team that’s in the way of KC winning 3 more SB’s, not us. We are basically a “tune-up” game for both of those teams, a dress-rehearsal game and that really sucks. Our last 3 games against Cincy were probably the most lop-sided meaningful games in the McD era. Every once in a while you’ see a fan ask “is this team not very talented and is being coached up or are they underperforming with a crappy coach?” Are they a poor roster that’s actually overachieving? I still don’t think we can answer that question which isn’t good moving forward. It’s obviously both but to what extent? Is it just a piss-poor roster and coach that’s being carried by a star QB? It very well could be. We still don’t know because the team has never showed any poise.

They had a SB appearance which is miles ahead of what we’ve done and they would’ve been in the championship game again this year if they hadn’t lost Burrow, and they’ll probably be in that game again next year, since we can’t beat them. We aren’t ever beating Cincy with the way this team is built.

I personally don’t like the idea of building to specifically beat KC with speed or however Beane has been doing it. We already saw how that left us totally overmatched against Cincy a few years later. Cincy will be back. If anything, I think we should be building to emulate Cincy, since they always manhandle KC. Beane was chasing a crack high and fell asleep at the wheel, then KC got much larger and physical on defense and we didn’t. It looks to me that KC is building to beat Cincy, not us, and we should do the same.
