Spaceman Spiff

If I could impart one phrase for JD to focus on when times are tough, when the path to victory looks impossible, when things are just going terribly, it would be… ”no pressure, no diamonds.” *ducks and runs*

Dude ****in’ A. Been posting here forever. Talking people down before they think they can get uppity and respond is an art. 👊🏻

lol Bayou Bob. I’m glad Peters feels so strongly about Daniels. He should. I’d be worried if he didn’t. Look at you guys getting excited over press conferences, it’s adorable. That’s the thing, though. All the GMs feel this way about the picks they make, especially towards the top of the first round. If you turn on the Patriots GM’s press conference, I’m sure he’s saying a lot of similar things about Maye. I’m sure the Falcons are so stoked about Penix that they didn’t give a **** about pissing off Cousins. But you know as well as I do that there’s tape out there of analysts hyping Zach Wilson. It’s the same **** that’s being posted here. However, before I get to those videos, here’s Jets GM Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh talking about Zach Wilson right after they drafted him. Value the decision making, anticipation, accuracy and the ability to make plays off schedule! Mental horsepower!! Patrick Mahomes written all over him! Made some throws that NFL quarterbacks would love to make! Bulls-eye dead eye thrower! Delivers the ball in magician like ways! Not a lot of people on the planet who can do things like that! Most exciting playmaker prospect in the draft! Displays an array of creativity! Mahomes! Greeny getting over Sam Darnold and getting hyped about Wilson! Skip and Shannon got it right. Shannon saying how Mahomes, Rodgers sat. How Eli didn’t play for the first half of the season cause Kurt Warner was the guy. Brady (never anointed as a savior) sat for a year. And no one here’s gonna wanna hear any of that. “Oh Spiff, this is different. New owner! New GM!” What’s not new is taking an undersized QB in the top 5 of the draft and making him your franchise guy from the start. Daniels is probably our Week 1 starter and I get it, everyone wants to see the shiny new toy. Everyone can’t wait to see the hot new prospect. Everyone can’t wait to open their Christmas presents on Christmas morning, they want them on Christmas Eve. Sit him for at least the first half of the year, let Mariota take the hits. If the line ain’t ready, don’t play him. “Rookie contract, Spiff! It’s so valuable to get a quarterback who can produce on his rookie contract! He’s gotta play from the start!” Think the Chiefs gave a **** about a rookie contract? Did the Packers with Jordan Love? “But Spiff, CJ STROUD!!” They got lucky. Hype! Excitement! #2 pick! Everyone’s so excited! It’s gonna be different this time because it has to be! It’s whatever. I hope he does well. Odds are he won’t, more QBs bust than go on to be franchise stars. Odds are we’ll be right back here in a year or two dreaming on some other quarterback and getting all excited about his tape and his throws and his ability to predict what defenses are gonna do pre-snap and his ability to read defenses from the pocket and his ability to quickly go through his options and his ability to make throws no one else can and his ability to scramble when plays break down and his ability to be a leader and his dedication and work ethic and how he’s the first one in the building and how he’s the last one to leave the building. Sound familiar? It’s the same stuff that gets said about practically everyone else. I’m tired of hype, I’m tired of talking heads telling me why this guy (not just Daniels, I’m talking about any quarterback) is the next biggest thing. And they don’t know. No one knows, because they knew about Zach Wilson. Zach’s Fifth Avenue. “New GM! New coaching staff, Spiff! New owner! It feels so different this time around! If you can’t see it, you’re blind! They have a process!” Yeah, okay. Really wanna excite me? Really wanna surprise me? Really wanna show me they have a plan? I hope they sit him. I hope they take their time with him. I hope they fix the line and don’t put him under center until there’s a ****ing brick wall in front of him. I don’t think it’s a good pick but I’d like to at least see them do what they can to ensure they get the most out off him before trotting him out there Week 1 just because no one has patience and just because SPIFF, ROOKIE CONTRACT THEY GOTTA GET THE MOST VALUE OUT IF HIM! Get the most value out of him by keeping him upright, keeping him healthy and making sure he’s got a line in front of him.

Zach Wilson and Bo Nix. Broncos got a QB room of good looking white boys that can't play.

JJ McCarthy's fiance getting hugs like she's the one going to the league

Man, whenever I feel down about being a Commies fan, I just look at the Jets and I'm like...well, ****. It could be worse.

Vikings, whatever

Rome Odunze's grandfather rocking the fedora is my favorite fashion moment of the night.

@TKTrench King!

The fact that they gave that contract to Danny Dimes makes me laugh.

Looking at Laura Rutledge makes me feel better.

Nabers, eh? Don't have anyone that can throw it to him.

Hahaha can't wait to see what the Giants do.

This comment wins the thread.

Joe Alt's sister looks nervous as ****.

Who's getting one?

Can't help it. Same thing every year for years on end. Stoked to have a new regime but until they show different results, to me it's just more of the same.

Alright, build an o-line now. Have to get string bean as much protection as possible.

Yep. Hopefully they get it right.

Hope they get it right.

Quoted again so you bammas can downvote one more time.

She just did hands up Commanders...what the ****

Jaylen? Jayden? Whatever.

Pats are gonna take Maye with his laser rocket arm and we're stuck with RG3 2.0.

I'm pretty sure I've built a sandwich at Subway that's thicker than this dude.
