A VW Thing is indeed rare and worthy of comment. An NFL player getting s little kneee cleanup is a little less worthy. Just hope it's a routing deal.

Doc Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm pretty sure we jumped the shark in the Mularkey years! The Fonz jumped the shark 10 years or so into the Happy Days run. It was actually the 5th season and the show was still a top-rated show for years after. So "jumping the shark" is a misnomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping the shark has nothing to do with the popularity of the show. It's a statement on the quality of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia says this: "It is most commonly used in reference to gimmicks for promoting entertainment outlets, such as television series, that are declining in popularity."

EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Trying to assess a rookie's long term potential when he missed training camp and much of the season. All too typical short sighted thinking expressed on TSW. Trying to assess a rookie's long term potential but he keeps getting hurt and people defend him.

Playing DE instead of OLB should help. As should being healthy and able to workout and participate in the off-season, training camp, and pre-season.

Dirtbag Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I'm pretty sure we jumped the shark in the Mularkey years! The Fonz jumped the shark 10 years or so into the Happy Days run. this is actually a very interesting question: when did they jump the shark? to me, jumping the shark has to be an occurrence that is outstandingly bad, it has to really stand out. there are so many options. i would go with wade refusing to wear headlines because it was completely senseless, but that seems way too early in the drought timeline. all the saint doug stuff seems way too late. and, given the team's history, rex's boorishness and general stupidity doesn't even qualify. personally, i think they jumped the shark in the buddy nix years because he was so completely clueless and seemed proud of the fact that he wasn't particularly smart. it was either when he said his plan for free agency was to go to bed or when he was dumb enough to get recorded talking free agency with that tampa bay gm. i'm sure something equally deserving happened during the tom donohoe years, but i can't recall it right now.

All too typical backwards thinking expressed on TSW. So having routine knee surgery in January after the season is over is affecting your assessment of his potential?
