The points looked good. 7th in the league. Add a decent D, like we have now (as opposed to whatever the Ryan twins were doing out there), and things could look a lot better record wise.

Whatever pal. I'm certainly not going to be you. All this stats and big data analysis has made some of y'all clueless What other teams have done against other teams over the last X years has ZERO impact on how 1 play is gonna go. Its like making your roulette bet by looking at the last 20 winning numbers Again, I'll take a coach that makes his decisions based on game conditions and how his team is playing as opposed to one blindly following the Domdab99 flow chart. AND it worked AND we won AND made the playoffs. Good call coach. Its hard to argue with results, but you will anyway.

One year ago today did you think Nick Foles would be the winning QB/MVP of the Super Bowl oh great prognosticator?

Where have you been the last 18 years? Trent ... JP ... EJ ... Fitz ... Lewis ... Tuel Time ... Nasty Nate ...

He got Benched at 1/2 time vs us in the last game of the 2014 season.

My only point was that you don't have to trade up to a top 3 spot in order to get the next Peyton Manning to get to and win a super bowl. I would rather draft someone if someone good is there we can get. In the meantime also get another Free agent and keep Hotrod. No sense putting all your eggs in one basket. Seattle didn't do that and they ended up with Russell Wilson. Minnesota didn't do that yet they have 3 quality QBs. Why tie yourself to only one method of getting the QB. Leave no stone un turned. Don't assume a back up is not good because he's not a starter. Don't assume you can't sign someone better than what we have. Don't assume the only way to get there is by a top 3 draft pick. Drafting the next Peyton Manning would be awesome. I'm not saying don't try. Just don't bet the ranch on a wing and a prayer. That's drought thinking. We're now in the post draft era and it's about winning NOW.

Agreed. I was at that game and it was HUGE WIN. A comeback too. Down by 7 with 3:30 to play.

At least you'll be able to leave the game at half time the next two seasons like the Bucs game this year.

Again with the false choice. Either you risk everything in the off chance you draft the next Peyton Manning, or you are for mediocrity and that's all you're gonna get. You'd think this years final four and SB MVP would call this theory into question. Tommy, Bortles, Keenum, and Foles (SB MVP). I think maybe "Franchise QB" is perhaps soon to be a thing of the past anyway. Where are they gonna come from? All of the ones people mention, Brees, Rodgers, Rivers, Ryan, Tommy, Big Ben are all pushing 40 or beyond. There are only 3 under 30 and they're all turn 30 very soon. Luck (if he can still play), Cam, and Russell Wilson. And I don't think 6-10 season are fun, but odds are really good if you trade up and pick a QB that's what you'll get. 9-7 this year was fun however.

Was that the wish you in a corn field one? the little boy that all had to suck up to?

JP?

EJ?

With that decision, the odds of winning that game was 100%.

Lamar Rodgers you mean?

We won. Good call. There are no style points in coaching decisions. They're good if they work and bad if they don't. Its not that complicated.

Gosh I hope not.

LOL results are what matters. Just win.

You realize we won, right? The call worked. I'd rather have a coach that makes the right decisions based on all factors including playing backups and historic snow conditions than blindly following your coaching decisions flowchart.

Cool. I really have no idea if they want Hotrod back or not. Its all conjecture and tea leaves at this point. We'll know a lot more next month.

Does this sound like anyone else we know? Bad WRs. Running game with 1.4 less ypa than the year before ... Surely these are not just excuses.

Two months ago you said if we made the playoffs you'd cut Hotrod some slack and even support bringing him back this year. Now you want to bring in Fitz? Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

You're welcome. AJ would have been snatched away if the Clowns had been able to bet their paper work in on time. I was responding to your comment that getting another teams backup doesn't work. I listed a few and you threw Favre out because he was too good. And yes I would take a "servicable QB" if he could get us to the SB as 3 of the four I listed did. I also don't think that you either have to throw caution to the wind and trade up to take a chance on the next Peyton Manning, or accept mediocrity. It is a false choice IMHO.

I think there's more to it than that. I think a lot of it relates to his college career and winning 2 national championships at Alabama. He performed really well on the big stage. In his little time in the NFL he also has looked very good. I'd take him. I wanted the Bills to draft him. It has worked. Cheese traded for Favre who was buried on the bench in Atlanta. The Texans did well for a few years with Schaub. Seahawks got to SB with Matt Hasselbeck who was burred on the pine in Green Bay. Broncos got to the Super Bowl on Craig Morton's 3rd or 4th stop in the NFL. I don't understand why more TBDers don't want him. He is a classic accurate pocket passer who comes up big in the clutch and in big games., things TBDers want in a QB or at least so i read often. He's certainly less of a question mark than a draft choice like Allen or Rosen or Jackson or White. There's more to it than just he hasn't played much IMHO.

McDaniels heard that Kraft's wallet is fatter than he thought. Old white collar and cuffs is still mad about the deflate gate game.

Perhaps As far as Foles goes, I think he's a fine QB. I'd take him. He needs an offense that suits his unique skill set and better players to pull it off. As does our current QB, and most QBs. If we pick any one of these guys and use the same strategy as last year of we have QB X and he's good at A, B, and C but we want QB Y who is good at D, E, and F, so lets make QB X do D, E, and F, we'll have the same results IMHO. None of them are that much of a step up and none of them can carry a team on their back like "franchise QBs" supposedly can do.
