Peppers behind Jordan, Dale Sr, and Mia Hamm.

Yeah I don't get why anyone would oppose this. They won't be on the team next year as things stand and starting Baker comes with a cost. Just go with the hot hand and let them fight for it.

For sure but I agree with @frankw that it's looking unlikely. He showed more remorse when he threw his mouthpiece at the fan. The redemption story fits the man we thought he was but it's becoming increasingly clear that the real Miles Bridges is not that guy.

Tepper messed up royally switching it back for the Chelsea game.

Agree on bringing the youngins up but note that bigs tend to dominate the g-league. I’m old enough to remember everyone on JB’s ass because Vernon Carey looked like Zion on the Swarm.

lol @ this team not knowing how to use the best dual threat in football

Big Curtis Samuel energy

Glad they won so I don’t have to hear about a black helmet curse

They had other finalists for the job. The way they jumped to Clifford suggests that none of them wanted it after being passed up for Atkinson. It sucks but Kenny and Miles seriously boned us this season. With all these injuries I doubt JB would be doing much better though.

A QB who could take a beating was important when the o-line was paper mache. We need someone who can pass and this dude has elite accuracy.

Hindsight's 20/20. Without Clifford we likely wouldn't have found someone by the start of the season and would be legitimately tanking, which sounds appealing now but was less so back before Miles fugged everything up. Likewise we may have kept Jalen Duren if we had known about Miles then. I still think he was the right choice this team is just completely lost without LaMelo. He forces the pace and his teammates have to stay alert on offense when he's on the court. As well as DSJ is playing, no one in the league can replicate the way LaMelo moves the ball and that's our entire offense. I'm still optimistic that when he's back that high tempo offense + Clifford will lead to high effort on defense.

Lost all 3 of these home games

plumlee bumly

I posted the wrong report my bad. DSJ is not on it and Cody's upgraded to doubtful.

An update on Melo would be nice. Estimated recovery was 1-2 weeks and it's been a month.

Can't win without LaMelo and Gordon

He probably dodged a bullet not playing this season. I don't think any rookie QB would do well in the team's current state.

I won’t speak for Wilks huddle but Team PJ just wanted him over Baker, who would have cost us a draft pick to start and isn’t clearly better. It was the right call, sorry. I thought the Lavar Ball gifs and Super Bowl posts made it clear we were having fun with it but I’ll try harder next time.

No one crowned him the franchise QB

The Carolina Panthers are way further than “a QB away”

Naw it's how much stock you put into his preseason. Rhule neglected to prepare him and he had tryouts for teammates so some of us don't, that's all. If Ickey had gotten injured we'd be having the same discussion about him because a lot y'all were calling him a preseason bust too.

I support rippa and his schtick. In fact he doesn't take it far enough. Where's the Corral avatar?

The way the team rallied behind Wilks practically overnight says more about Rhule than it does him.

If Miles truly dedicates himself to ending domestic violence and his family forgives him, I can too. And I don't mean just mandated community service and throwing money at an organization. Like really being a public advocate and making a difference with your platform. That's a "second chance" story that I could proudly get behind. I mention Vick a lot but Smitty is a good local example too. He's used his mistakes to make a positive impact with the work he's put into mental health awareness.

Matt's already got a good attitude I don't see any benefit in Baker mentoring
