I'm hoping bigtime for something like this. Get Rosen, keep Taylor to start the season, and throw every other resource we have at builting a monstrous, deep offensive line. Let the coaches do what they can with the defense for now and start overhauling that side next year. If I were the Giants, I'd want something more like 8-9 & 22 plus a 1st next year, so I could see us first trading up to the top 10(losing more capital) to make it happen. I'd still be Thrilled with Rosen, a second/third this year an a second or a couple seconds next year. THRILLED!

Brady's Legacy
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to metzelaars_lives's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You're probably right that Brady would be considered the better QB if Montana were to play today, but I certainly would not think it'd be by a landslide. But if you take Brady and put him into a world before 'in the grasp' and all the QB protection rules had evolved the general ethics of the game, he would have been a forgotten footnote, I believe. For better, worse, or whatever, one of the underlying currents of 50's -80's...90's football was to decimate the opposing team's QB. It wasn't until the NFL saw some of their players as 'stars', who needed to be protected... because people want to see stars play, that through force of rules- in the grasp being the most blatant, they set sail on changing the mentality of the game. Brady time and again shows he gets rattled, bad, under pressure. I don't think he'd be in any discussions if he'd played in Montana's era or before. He's beyond great under the current ruleset, he's mind-blowing scary good, but I couldn't possibly consider him goat. Greatest of his era- you bet your bippy! -
Brady's Legacy
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to metzelaars_lives's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wouldn't that also mean the dominant defenses also had the same continuity in personnel? I think the 80's 49ers had something similar to the Jordan Bulls. The real heavyweights, Lakers/Celtics & Cowboys/Steelers, had laid to rest and there wasn't much of an established contender left. The Patriots are just a boring machine weeding through the entrails of the game of football. Greatest of all time my earlobe -
Yeah, seriously. I've basically liked his announcing over the years, but tonight he was gulping the TB12 solution or something. He was even rubbing off Michaels there towards the end.

Good hot sauce, football, the greatest comeback ever, and a fine coach to boot. I'd call that a life well lived. ) -

Yeah, they won't get it. All time, for me too sorta, is really within my 'viewing experience'... -

Vinatieri for the Tuck Rule win, Vinatieri for the SB win, Vinatieri, Vinatieri, loss to Giants, loss to Giants, Pete Carroll, Kyle Shanahan, loss to Eagles. Granted, by all rights they should have beaten the Giants at least once, but in the end, Brady is no Montana. And for whatever other thoughts on Montana to Rice, he won with Freddie Solomon and Earl Cooper, and no Ronnie Lott. -
I'm more of a gut guy when it comes to football. Nix was a good gut guy surrounded by a confused owner who made him work with the modern, stupid, analytics children. Shoot, he was even forced to hire Whaley. I feel for the guy- he got his GM shot, only to get his vision trampled upon by pointless, stupid, people influencing a senile, cheap, owner.

Best American City (Not NY or LA)???
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Bakin's topic in Off the Wall Archives
SF bought its demise with the Willie Brown machine, and confirmed it with Gavin Newsom. Ed Lee, Rose Pak, and 'Shrimp Boy' were just the cherry on its titanic iceberg. It could've continued to be an innovative city, but it's just a stopover for the chophouse crowd. I lived there quite a while, and culturally its finest remaining assets are mediocre burritos in the 'Mish' at 2am - I can't think of decent local bands since American Music Club and Deerhoof (My apologies to those who sing Journey at karaoke). There's just an air of stupid over that town... from the 'broheims' and the well past their date hipsters, to the high-rise elder-in-training complexes in South Beach, the town is just a mess. The last bastion is maybe the Opera. It'll come back, because the area is just too stunning to play the fool for long, but its time is certainly not now. I guess 'What is Best City, Bro' is such a complex question. I like Portland, and lived here previously through what I consider its finest moments. I've moved back 17 years later and it's being built up, but I think it's in decline from what it once was. Is there a town with good country music left? -

I can't wait for the return of smart, ballsy, songwriting. The people living through the Dark Ages didn't realize they were living through the Dark Ages at the time, either: -

Pretty slick on his part, though. -

That was NOT a 'football move'
