Awards go out before the Super Bowl too I think. We should have gone after Vrabel. The ultimate Tepper flaw IMO is the personality types he wants working for him

I ain't the former (I wish). Not gonna claim I'm the latter. That's for others to judge. (not the type to toot my own horn) I appreciate the kudos, though.

Mike Remmers deserved credit for helping us get to the Super Bowl. Don't really care whether people were willing to give it to him or not. He helped us win games too. Go back to the 96 season. Kevin Greene was a big part of our season up to and including our playoff run. But what happened in the championship game? Sherman Lewis looked at the tape of our games up to then and formulated a strategy to run specifically at Greene. And it worked. They ran all over us. Does that erase how much Greene helped us win that year? Nope, sure doesn't. There are always gonna be some players who are better than others, sometimes markedly so. But with the NFL landscape having as many teams as it does and as many players on rosters right now, and even those players being subject to a salary cap, it just isn't possible to build the kind of roster you could create in decades past. That's just a reality of the modern game. Every team is forced to build up some units at the expense of others. We're no different. And the bottom line right now is that as much as you, me, or anyone else wants us to put a priority on finding another quarterback, the team might not see that as a need.

Oh dang never would have got A&M. We got 2 NC State on the OL so figured there’d be another sprinkled on the roster somewhere.

I think the move makes sense. Theilen just wants to play to finish this last one out. His wife and family are bacK home. Rodgers just wants a human that will run correct routes. Steelers in a dead heat for the division. Makes sense. Throw him in the slot and let him play some TE style ball like he did here. It’s low ceiling but Rodgers willl likely make use of it

Notre Dame, USCe, NC State, and…. Alabama?

Dang missed it by 1

I had forgotten to rule change also. Stupid rules. I hate rules.

Depending on stats in a team sport is a massive gamble. QBx has a far better completion percentage than QBy. Is he better, or are his receivers better? QBa has fewer passing yards than QBb, but one plays for a team with a bell cow runningback while the other plays for a team that runs a high percentage passing attack. RBq has far fewer rushing yards than RBz, but he also doesn't have anything close to as good a set of blockers opening holes for him. Those are only a few examples. You could easily find dozens more. Baseball is a sport that lends much better to individual stats as a measuring stick. Football is a hundred times more complex; hence why stats can be misleading.

Thank you. I’m glad you agree.

That would take a SB win and I'm certain even that would do it.

Imagine trying to sell someone on that job. No 1st round pick, question marks all over the team, no culture of success. They might have to keep him because of no other candidates. Except for old Bill.

How many times a game are you required to make that throw? Seriously?

If you're talking about just the NFL's Offensive Player of the Week, then sure, I'd agree. But for me, and maybe that's the problem and it's how I've interpreted this award, it's more about a statistical excellence than overall impact on the game.

Honestly, the lack of yards and the mental inconsistency aren't even my biggest problems with him. It always has and always will be his lack of an ability to drive the ball as required on this level. He can't throw from one hash to the opposite sideline 20 yards downfield on a line drive. That's a 40ish yard air travel throw and the only way he's able to make it is with a touch throw. Which in turn is from a lack of overall arm strength, which also rears its ugly head on off base/balance throws. And it's not even that he's bad when throwing on the move, he's actually pretty good at it, but he NEEDS to get back into a perfectly balanced position on the throw or else he doesn't have the arm strength to get it where it needs to be. In this day and age, you need QB's who can make off balance throws that don't come up 5 yards short of the reciever every single time.

Canales - COTY Bryce - League MVP

Yeah, Jared Allen, Josh Norman, Courtland Finnegan, Roman Harper, Keyshawn Johnson..I am sure I am missing a few.

We're talking about contribution to a particular game. There's more to that than stats. Take for example a guy with superior stats vs a guy with lower stats playing his way through an injury or a hardship. In that scenario, I'm gonna vote for the latter guy ten times out of ten.

Immediate 15 yards behind the LOS.

There's an argument to be made...

He is probably about 10 down on the list of candidates. Now, if we win out, and things fall certain ways, the Seahawks would be the only other team with 11 wins, and we would have the number 1 seed by virtue of a head-to-head tiebreaker over them. If that happens, then he would probably shoot right up the board.

Forgot he'd be subject to waivers at this time of year. Given how waivers work, that ploy could have gone really badly for him.

Technically we have two Canes, but Mike Jackson portal'd in and Harrison-Hunte portal'd out, so yeah...

I'm not sure you know what kibitzing means. Regardless, the difference between Bryce and Legette is that one lacks the tools while the other lacks the mindset. If Legette fixes his head, we can talk.

This is the way. Also, drafting depth guards and tackles is extremely necessary in April based on our history...
