  1. This is a very weird thread. No sure why it’s still going. I couldn’t care less what a neuroscientist says about concussions. They are not clinicians, nor have had any contact with patients in a clinical setting. If a neurologist or a neurosurgeon pipes up, then they’ll have my attention. But this guy, just because he may have looked at some brain sections under a microscope to get grants, doesn’t pass muster as an expert. 
     

    btw, I’m a physician and would trust the word of an ICU nurse over a neuroscientist.

    Dang it! I was really hoping we could get him! 


    But, who’s he replacing? And is the GB guy better than Bass?

     

    Edit: Nevermind. That dude (Narveson) is worse than Bass.

    See my reply to big turk a couple pages ago but re-signing Cooper to a market value contract (e.g. 18-20M AAV) will likely mean having to shed even more salary than we're already slated to or not giving out extensions, etc. Like it or not, we're still on a cap cutting trend for one more year. 

     

    Edit: and in truth, my 18-20M projection is probably low if Cooper is who we hope he'll be on this team.   


    But why do we have to sign him? I see this as nothing more than a rental. If he blows it up here, fantastic for us. I hope we get a Super Bowl. If we want his services beyond this year, we can choose to sign him (or not) like any other FA WR.

    Every time you buy a share of stock in a company, you buy a minority stake in that company.  So, if the company makes money and the value of the share rises, you make money.  Same idea generally.


    So, they only make money once they sell their shares at some point in the future? Seems to me some of the profits Terry is making should go to them? And I’ll assume they have some say in how the organization is run, just like whale stockholders of corporations.

    Can we put them in for hail Mary situations?


    Seriously, we get embarrassed by a Hail Mary once a season. Would be great to have people great at jump balls.

    Then why fire the HC week 5?

     

    Woody Johnson has no idea what he's doing.


    Agreed. Firing coach and trading for a top WR aren’t congruent. Either way, I see no path forward for Rodgers after this season. They’ll probably have to shed salary for Adams.

  6. I was going to say “no” based on him am being in charge of hiring head coaches, but I’m not so sure now. Don’t they have a “flat” hierarchy in terms of leadership, where both HC and GM report to Terry? We know he had this with Rex Ryan and Whaley. I doubt Beane could wake up one morning and go into work and fire McD, so I guess Terry is ultimately in charge.

    Remember when the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill and let a bunch of other high-priced starters walk, and then won two more Super Bowls during their “mini re-build”?


    I’d give them the benefit of the doubt if they had already won one Super Bowl and needed to retool for another. But, they haven’t. They haven’t demonstrated they can win.

    Rebuilding from what? Divisional round losses? Our franchise QB being 7 years into his career and having the worst pass catching group since he had to throw to the leftover trash of the drought era his rookie year is a complete organizational failure that starts with Brandon Beane


    Agree. If we’re going to buy into this “rebuild” thing, we should probably have a different HC. It’s rare for a coach to survive a rebuild; something fundamental always need to change, because why would the next 7 years be any different than the last if we’re just moving some pieces around?
