He if this team doesn’t want to win the super bowl, that’s their prerogative.

This is probably reason number 1. But you think they would allow for some emergency contingencies.

Either way that is an interesting fact. Makes for a cool trivia question which is why I started this thread.

I also thought this was a pretty cool read. https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2021/09/the-quiet-yalie-who-invented-american-football/

Wow cool, did not know that, thanks. For “modern” NFL purposes though, is there any instances? Like in the late 60s or 70s?

LOL It’s one of those bizarre questions that could have like a .003% chance of being realistic. I was mostly curious if someone did it way back when. It would make for a cool trivia question if there is an instance.

Yeah, just posted the link about that in the thread. I find it fascinating that a team actually tried lol. I wonder if they were the first ones, or if there have been other attempts or actual historical instances of it ever happening in the history of the nfl.

True, I’ve never really believed it was possible in the current era of league rules, it was more of a morbid curiosity thing to see if it has ever happened in the leagues history. I posed it as a question in the title, because many people have always joked about it, and I wanted to let people see the link posted above to provide definitive proof that it is indeed not allowed.

I thought this was somewhat interesting, and I’ve never seen this seriously discussed here. It’s been joked about having coaches come in during games as a substitute for poor play on the field, so I was legitimately curious to see if it has ever happened before. All I could find was this. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/11/29/nfl-declined-broncos-request-to-let-assistant-coaches-suit-up-and-play-qb/ As far as the league not allowing it, have they always never allowed it? Or has there been an instance where way back in the day, something like this has happened?

Just out of morbid curiosity, has there even been a coach that has played a down? Is it even allowed. I imagine at some point in the NFL existence there must have been some 35 year old position coach who substituted in an emergency?

I like Miller’s chances of doing it. He showed no slowing down in the super bowl.

More than likely smoke screen. We only took one player on our tracker list last year and way late in the game.

Alontae Taylor is my pick for a 3rd or 4th round CB.

Mad, because he would dominate there.

Breece Hall. We wanted Etienne last year and McKissic this year. We are going to get a pass catching RB, the only question is who. I’m fine with drafting Jameson/Dotson and Hall. I’d trade back up into the range you stated.

I just feel like Beane values a RB more than you guys do. We tried to sign McKissic, who is one of the best pass catching RBs in the league. Breece Hall is one of the best pass catching RBs in the draft, and we supposedly wanted Etienne last year in the first round. I would not be surprised at all if we go RB early.

We don’t really need to waste a pick there if we get Bradberry. Rather draft a high end CB next year. Yes. You can decent linemen in the later rounds. I want the best pass catching RB which is Breece Hall.

Hughes+ Addison for the last 2 years was 9 sacks and 9 sacks. If Miller can at least get 9 sacks by himself, the contract is basically break even at that point.

YES YES YES YES. Please. Good CB and that likely keeps us from drafting a CB early. Go WR/RB/OG in the draft and lets go!!

How is it double the price though? Mario and Hughes likely aren’t coming back and that = Von Millers money. It’s break even.

This right here says it all. Beane wants a pass catching RB, it’s obvious. He tried for McKissic and wanted Etienne last year. In my opinion, the best runner/pass catcher is Breece Hall. Nobody in this years draft has the hands and speed combo that he does. Najee was picked in the 1st round, so not sure where this 3rd round statement is coming from?

I’m perfectly fine limping along until White gets back. There is just to much WR talent in this years draft to take a CB early. Plus we looked at McKissic and we need a RB that fits that role, and that would likely be Breece Hall. RBs by themselves will not win you a Super Bowl, but elite RBs help an elite QB to cook. Having a Derrick Henry or a Taylor make it so QBs have space to work with. Allen will be nearly unstoppable with an elite RB, regardless who we have behind the line, he can check down teams to death. That’s why we were looking at McKissic.

Kamara’s numbers are an outlier. The vast majority of the top RBs in the league routinely have great college resumes. Go ahead and post the numbers. Taylor, Henry, Barkley, Harris, Cook, CMC, Jones, Hunt, Chubb, Mixon, EIliott, Dobbins, Swift, etc. They all had great numbers. The larger the numbers, the better the player it seems like. Look at Henry’s 2000 yard college season and Taylor’s big numbers. Even Dalvin Cook had large numbers.

Agreed. I’d much rather invest that draft capital into keeping our fastball. Get an elite WR and elite RB. Then focus on OG and CBs the rest of the draft. We need to go mostly all offense this draft. I’m tired of neglecting it.

Can you imagine our offense with Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, Jameson/Dotson, Breece Hall, Singletary, Allen? Yes please.
