For people comparing Jordan Love to Aaron Rodgers... watching Love throw across his body into triple coverage with a playoff game on the line, thus ending the Packers postseason with a game sealing interception... is the most classic Brett Favre move ever.

Did you go to WJ? I used to hang out at Monty Mall back in the day. I remember when White Flint opened and all of the moms would go shopping at Bloomies.

Churchill.

I worked at Montgomery Mall from high school through summer breaks from college.  I was back in Bethesda a couple years ago and now it's Westfield Shopping Center.... still viable, but unrecognizable - having worked there for so many years I could make out the floor plan and see if any of the original stores were still around (nope). Like @China I used to go to White Flint mall all the time for movies.  There was an ES meetup about 10 years ago at the Dave and Busters there and I was shocked at how few things still remained- I think it was down to just restaurants and the theater. And, yeah, it was completely gone when I popped by 2 years ago.

The origins of Russian military strategy....

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).

It was interesting in the pause by Peters when asked whether he had a chance to evaluate the roster.  His answer "there are a few cornerstone pieces here".

 

Was trying to wrap my head around who? - TMac, BRob, Cosmi, Allen, Payne, Tress Way?

Andrew Wylie, Emmanuel Forbes, Dyami Brown, and the return of William Jackson III.

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

Raheem Morris and Dan Quinn have already had thoroughly uninspired runs at HC.  If we were going to hire a defensive guy, I would rather go for Antonio Pierce if LV doesn't retain him

sorry for the confusion @Riggo-toni

 

A wise poster once told me, “Jokes are always better when you explain them in detail.”

 

He’s right. @Rufus T Firefly

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.

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.

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.

So, do people actually believe that the only two times a franchise traded 3 #1s to move up for a QB both happened with Kyle Shanahan in tow, but that he had nothing to do with it????

2024 Free Agency starts on March 13th (if I'm reading things right about that).  The Draft is in April.

 

We probably want to open up a new 2024 Free Agency thread here soon, maybe coinciding with the hiring of the new HOFO?  @Riggo-toni you did the honors last year, what do you think?

 

We're going to need to start tracking cuts here soon as well, I think.  I would be shocked if we didn't have some cuts/trades in February leading up to the legal tampering period in March and then the FA period starting on March 13th...

 

 

 

Sure - I will be on it as soon as there is something to report.
