Game Day Thread 2023: SUPER BOWL LVIII (58) ~ Chiefs vs. 49ers

This is the same revisionist history we see out of all of Lord Farquaad's ex-coaches. Not much different from Shanahan who had complete control over personnel contractually guaranteed, and then blamed Snyder for allowing him to trade 3 #1s for RG3, or trading for McGnat after those moves backfired. Likewise Schotferbrains in SD said he didn't want to have the dual role of GM, even though he insisted on it as a condition of being hired here, and refused to relinquish it as a condition for staying on (along with the demand to fire Jimmy Raye, which SD also prohibited him from hiring as a condition for being hired there).

I have tasted the tears of legions of Cowboys and Eagles fans, and it is delicious to me!

I wasn't confused -knew you were joking but since I couldn't use the puke emoji as a reaction, I just picked the "confused" one to be different- I was imagining myself doing the Rodney Dangerfield face.

Average age of 53 players on GB roster is the youngest of any team in the NFL.

Game Day Thread 2023: SUPER BOWL LVIII (58) ~ Chiefs vs. 49ers

Only downside to that beatdown is it means McMediocrity won't be back next year. -
Kerrigan had 95.5 interceptions? How does one get 0.5 of an interception, and hiw did a DE end up with the most in NFL history?

Watching Quinn's Cowgirls get their asses handed to them by the youngest roster ever to play an NFL playoff game... can't believe people want this guy as their coach. Only good year was with Kyle running the offense.

2024 NFL Draft Position/Tracker - Final Pick #2
Riggo-toni replied to zCommander's topic in The Stadium
I have to admit, watching the highlight reels of Caleb W and Drake Maye does not give me the warm and fuzzies... Williams seems more like Kyler Murray or maybe Vince Young than Mahomes, and Maye seems more like Daniel Jones. I hope I'm wrong, but the common denominator among teams that continually fail is blowing top picks for QBs in weak years (Jets, Snyderskins, etc.). -
Up until Champ Bailey, EVERY FIRST ROUNDER Casserly picked was a bust. The best one was Kenard Lang, who finally started for one year under Schotferbrains and managed to be average. Casserly left the Redskins with the very worst OL in the NFL, and then he went to Houston...where they finished with the very worst OL in the NFL.... coincidence? Beathard, not Casserly, put together those Super Bowl teams. Casserly may get official credit for 91, but about his only contribution was trading for a DT and drafting Brian Mitchell. Rypien, the Posse, the Hogs, etc. were all brought in earlier by Beathard.
-
Anyone remember when Lord Farquaad made Spurrier the highest paid coach at $5m...and then refused to offer any incentives to Beathard over a measly $500k. The fact that we are hiring a coveted GM candidate rather than scraping dog**** off the unemployment line that nobody else would touch is by itself a great leap forward.

Ultimately I think it comes down to 2 things - do the Commies get a huge offer for the #2 pick, and how much confidence do they have in Williams or Maye. Is this really like choosing between the next Mahomes or Herbert, or is it more like between Vince Young and Daniel Jones. Howell won't be the starting QB, but they could amass more picks and sign a FA caretaker vet QB... maybe even Russell Wilson. Or if they really think Maye is the guy, pull the trigger. What I don't see happening is trading the farm to move up one spot, not when analytics are supposed to be driving the decisions.

Given the supposedly analytics driven mindset of the evolving front office, I don't see any chance of us trading up given the probable failure rate/cost benefit analysis. We have to hope Chicago drafts a QB, since we can be certain they will pick the wrong one, thus reducing our chances of error. -
Gettleman actually put a good roster together for him, and Norvo was a much better game planner than his son. Besides Cam, he started off with Steve Smith and later Christian McCaffrey. It's like Fisher who managed to reach one SB because the GM landed McNair and Eddie George - as soon as he started handling personnel duties, he couldn't do anything with the average players he handpicked. Snyder gave full personnel control to a coach who hadn't won a playoff game in over a decade; then the beloved one who had once traded 2 firsts for Desmond Howard, a 1and 3 for a washed up Gerald Riggs, and a future SB QB for a punter who got cut in camp; then it was to a coach who had won 1 playoff game in the last ten years, and finally Ron, who never had back to back winning seasons and only 3 winning seasons in 10 years.

2024 NFL Draft Position/Tracker - Final Pick #2
Riggo-toni replied to zCommander's topic in The Stadium
Since it's Washington with the #2 overall pick again, we know we will be drafting a player who is overhyped based on athletic abilities, that he will have one successful year, he will have abysmal study habits and be confident in his natural gifts to allow him to just "wing it," and that he will have a catastrophic knee injury that will render his physical gifts more average but will never learn to play within a scheme to adapt to it.
