There's a joke in here somewhere...

I'm all Mongo, all the time.

Finally removing Brady's _________ from his __________?

So...to summarize: Don't overpay mediocre quarterbacks (like Tannehill and Goff, except that Tannehill and Goff are playing awesome football and their teams are doing well). Pay elite quarterbacks (like Brady, Rodgers, and Mahomes, obviously). So it's as simple as just having a top-10 pick and hitting on one of the two good QBs each year in the draft, and unless the guy is elite move on after the rookie deal (with that valuable top-10 or top-5 or top-2 pick that every team has when they need a QB).

Dunning Kruger man lol. That's perfect.

Nevermind. We can just stop now and carry on with football commentary.

Well that's the problem. It wasn't. Which then treads onto dangerously thin ice.

That's a dumb comment.

Wait...people CHOOSE this?

Wait, are you serious?

No. Because...they don't exist.

Not a dynamic player, but he's a solid RB. Also deceptively large (that's what she said).

I might be in the minority, but I think Yeldon is effective. Our offense matriculates the ball when he's in.

Okay, that's possible. But this benching won't hurt the Bills' chances of stopping such an attack.

That's the spirit. Never change. For no one.

I'd like to pause on this point for a moment, and pose a question: could McBeane have immediately gone FULL/COMPLETE rebuild and STILL preached process to the remaining roster/fans? Basically, can a coach (and GM) who truly believe/live their own competitive mantras (iron sharpens iron, process, playoff/championship caliber, etc.) strip a team of ALL its valuable talent and maintain credibility and authenticity? Maybe you'd counter with: credibility and authenticity don't translate into wins, talent does. That's a fair point. Look at Jimmy Johnson's wholesale transformation of the Cowboys in the early 90s. Lots of people like to say that talent trumps culture, or that at least talent leads to success, which then leads to talk of "culture." I'd like to posit here that while we cannot argue against results, and that in fact we should not argue against results, it's important to note that McBeane were able to rebuild AND SIMULTANEOUSLY produce results. I actually think that the playoff appearance in year one, which was likely completely unexpected, bought McBeane credibility and grace that isn't usually afforded to a new NFL regime. And it resulted from their unwillingness to field an uncompetitive, stripped-down, completely tank-worthy roster in Year One. Keeping Taylor and McCoy (and others) was instrumental in sneaking into the playoffs that year. THEN, given the credibility earned with that unexpected success, McBeane capitalized by cashing that check in 2018, tearing down the whole effing thing (which might not have been tenable without the grace period following the drought's miraculous end). They added high-end athletic talent in the draft at premium positions (QB & MLB), and sold us on the process of growth and improvement through competition. We bought it up, mostly, given the early returns. And now, with Allen's ascension, well...give them both Carte Blanche for the next decade and see what happens! They've earned it.

I saw somewhere on TBD after TNF a tweet, from Rapoport, allegedly, about Brady getting told-off in the Bucs locker room postgame. A teammate told him he didn't have Belichick to carry him anymore? Obviously this was a spoof, but man it was fun to imagine for a moment. Whiny, Marino-esque QB gets shouted down by larger teammate postgame. I can't seem to find the post in question because I'm an idiot with technology. How many of his offensive linemen HATE him right now? The finger-pointer who throws pick-6s and forgets it's 4th down? It's fun to entertain.

It's a fair question.

lol. I was there, all right. I've watched Mario Williams crush a dozen cosmopolitans in fairly short order.

Well, um... Some issues with that, innit? (Did you know I worked there for the last eight years?)

The TBD replacement team still needs bodies... We can get this thing into triple digits, easy.

Crushing beers and tearing hammies!

It's called a CONTROL GROUP. Don't you people conduct research?! According to my social media feeds, like, everyone seems to be a researcher.
