  1. I remember when Marvin Lewis took the Bengals job, his reasoning that these don't come across often and... if you say no... people don't forget that ****. Be wise to remember that, Johnson.
  2. That play reminds me of Eddie Murphy talking about the father in Poltergeist. "I know my daughter's in the TV... changed the channel, **** didn't work!"
  3. He's still in the category of guys who could throw from the pocket and had athleticism, not necessarily someone whose legs were the primary weapon. He just happens to have lost most of... pretty much everything.
  4. They tend to not get better and the game is faster. Lamar was inaccurate coming out of college and had a rough first season or so before working on it, but he is what he is at the end of the day. Same with Josh Allen, who becomes a turnover machine when things get ugly, which was what he always was.
  5. That doesn't change the fact that a dual-threat QB (which is really just legs first/arms second) has never won a SB. They get figured out when the regular season is over. Lamar was inaccurate as hell yesterday, regardless the playcalling. Why? Because that's what he is. Saying "Well, only one QB can win the Super Bowl every year, so that doesn't mean the others are worthless" doesn't change how the game changes when you're moving on in the post-season. That's exactly what changes as you progress in the post-season. Take out his legs (figuratively) and dare him to beat you otherwise. They've paid him a ton of money now and have to accept he is what he is while trying to be thrifty elsewhere.
  6. This is true, but the "dual threat" guys tend to get boggled down more than not in the moments that matter most. Force them to throw, they take on too much and implode. I look at Goff yesterday. He wasn't at all why Detroit lost. HC left 6 six points on the field and the WR's had key drops at the worst moments. I'd take that skillset with escapability and athleticism over someone whose legs are the primary thing against which teams plan.
  7. You didn't watch him yesterday, did you? Dude sucks in more ways than can be mentioned here before we all wither into nothingness.
  8. I don't care about the past 30 years anymore, I care about the next 30. A QB with his skillset isn't the key. Gets a lot of praise, highlight clips and oohs and aaahs during the regular season, predictably falls apart in the postseason.
  9. It was a response to the '83 NFC Championship game, where there was a real lion on the field... parts of which are still around on Greg Olsen's head.
  10. Does he get a choice of small woodland creature for headwear like Greg Olsen, though?
  11. Chase Young ran a SWEET arc right around Goff on that 3rd down play.
  12. He can still be interviewed for a HC gig during the bye week
  13. Don't worry... Grant and Not Funny Danny will bail out Jay and just tell him he got done dirty. Never have I been so thankful to have the stink of Dan Snyder off this team, even if it still seems to live and breathe in the local sports media.
  14. I didn't bring up or comment on one particular play, though. I'm talking about his tenure with two different teams and how it'll reflect on his next contract. His worth compared to his draft position and career production. His replacement, as far as I'm concerned, isn't even on the Commanders, much less San Francisco. It isn't even necessarily the third that was traded for him, which now belongs to the Commanders. It wouldn't shock me if Shen said to Harris "Take a ham sandwich for this guy and run" knowing there was no interest in a big contract, especially with the starting DT's making so much money and Chase having plateaued his rookie year. The team was in full-blown tank mode by then. I get wanting to compare Chase to Toohil, but the team had become sellers at that point.
  15. That's like asking whether I'd rather have gonorrhea or chlamydia. His own totals are far from adequate for his draft position and what he wants for his next contract, so it was best for a rebuilding team to take what they could get and run. Let the new FO figure it out. Even pre-injury, his sophomore season wasn't one of "Let's build a line around this guy's abilities." He can't contain the edge (either in the run game or short passing game) and he isn't an elite pass-rusher.
