Coach Tuesday

Peyton "Naked Butt 'N' Rectum" Manning?

This is where I come out. Not just the former coach but the former GM as well.

Looooooove youuuuuuuuu

I do not disagree that their player development program is non-existent and they shouldve found a way to manage the Sammy situation. No question about it they are worse off as a result of the trade, and that they need to be able to manage personalities like this if they want to actually have talent and win games. But Im also not as surprised now that they dealt him.

They put up more points but it sounds like it may have come at the expense of the development of Tyrod and the rest of the offense, as well as team chemistry. Keep in mind this is not a storied franchise with lots of vets who have won deep into the playoffs - this is a relatively fragile locker room.

This is going to be a tough, tough game.

Uh, I think he was agreeing with my take. It's Boyst so I can never be 100% sure, but...

As I said in the OTHER THREAD, it was All About Sammy, All The Time. He only cared about how he looked. He didn't want Rex to force him to play through his injury last year, because it would make him look bad. When he did play, even though he was limping, he wanted to be targeted a lot, because otherwise he'd look bad. Even when they won a game, if he wasn't targeted enough (because he was limping, or because of the gamplan), he'd make noise in the locker room. Sounds like a real POS to me.

You're in the other thread, so I know you know about the other thread.

Yeah, you've been calling it right. It's All About Sammy, All The Time with this guy. He doesn't want to go out there if he has a boo boo, but if you force him to go out there, you'd better not make him look bad by not targeting him. Even if you win, and even if he's limping around, he's mad because he looks bad. Sounds like a real jerk to me. I guess I give him credit for the self-awareness in that article, we'll see if it actually changes his personality.

So by his own words (and implied words), he was out there limping around last year, mad at his coaches and the medical staff for making him play, but then they'd win a game and he'd also be mad that he wasn't getting the ball, despite the win. Yeah, I can see why they shipped him out!

Yes.

It's not the missed throws with Winston as much as it's the careless throws. If Tyrod was sailing balls into double-coverage off his back foot like Winston was last night, the calls to replace him would be at a fever pitch (he also wouldn't be winning us games, because his success is all about limiting stupid turnovers). As for Tyrod - let's just see how things play out. It's only Week 5, there is a lot of football left to be played and Ty is gonna have to carry this team to a couple of victories and/or win a couple of shootouts at some point. He really hasn't been too tested yet - he's been able to play within his skills and the D has kept the games close enough. Let's just see.

Oh I didnt forget. I was afraid to mention it, because the Patriots are totally in my head and I dont want to jinx it. He definitely looks older this year and I love that hes been taking a beating. Lets see how it goes for them through October.

I agree with you about Tampa. They're one of the weirdest teams in the league. What's their identity? They have this odd love-hate relationship with the Muscle Hamster (who, incidentally, should sponsor his own PED called "Muscle Hamster"), where one week he'll be featured and look explosive and the next week is completely out of the gameplan. They don't commit to running the ball and they're not built for a ball control offense. On defense, they've been boring ever since Kiffin left. Mike Smith's bland Cover-4 or whatever you call it seem like a super easy defense to play against - the Pats didn't play well enough to exploit it, and their o-line (especially Solder) is having a really rough start to the season. The Bucks lack heart and identity - they're utterly boring and nondescript.

I dunno man. Granted I only watched the first half - but Winston was unwatchable in the first half. Every time I watch Winston play he's lofting college-type passes into double coverage off of his back foot. Sure he's streaky and he'll put up yards and points against bad defenses, but when you watch him do you ever think, There's a guy who can take over a game? There's a guy who can will his team to a Super Bowl title? I sure don't. I just don't get the hype. Half of his game is just garbage.

We got a live one!!

And that's what I meant by Grievance-Based Politics. Super annoying and counter-productive, both in society as a whole and within personal relationships (we all know a few folks who "carry their cross" around). It's the worst. But that doesn't mean the motives are bad - just the tactics.

That's why I called it counter-productive! Which it is. But to long for the days when you could grab the secretary's a$$ or when Sean Connery's Bond wasn't afraid to "hit a b-" is just sad. Get on the right side of history, there is no going back.

"Political correctness" is an annoying, often counter-productive way to advance a laudable goal of increased respect and tolerance. But it is not, as some posters here (and many in society) think, a symptom of degrading moral standing or a societal loss of fortitude. It's just Grievance-Based Politics. Again, super-annoying; doesn't make us weaker as a people.

There are definitely some angry folks on the wrong side of history, holding onto their rapidly-eroding status of being in the cultural driver's seat. If all you have going for you is that you're a white male - you need to work on yourself. It's not society's fault. All of that said - Cam is a moron.

That's what I'm saying - why leave millions on the table? So dumb.

Really this is more about stupidity than anything else. He's just an idiot. Why tarnish your brand needlessly, and cost yourself potentially millions of dollars in endorsements? These guys are coached on what to say and not to say. Why be an idiot? Like Plaxico shooting himself in the leg - hey, we'll give you $10M, all you have to do is not shoot yourself in the leg. BOOM! Stupid.

Sorry, I forgot about Ted's and Jim's Steakout? Come on...
