  1. Did all of our new coaches come from championship teams? (hell, out head coach was fired from a sh-tty team)
  2. Asking any player to compensate for the team being lousy at quarterback is a stretch. Using that standard to measure their value is completely wrong. Can you win without a guy like that? If your team is good enough, sure. Can you lose with a guy like that? If your team is bad enough, again yes, and the past few years Panthers are proof of that. Bottom Line: Using the quality of the overall team to measure any single player's value is invalid, same as trying to make wins and losses a quarterback stat. But the simple fact is that any team who has him is a better team because of it. Denying that is kind of silly.
  3. Baldinger has Ejiro Evero on his primary list and includes Thomas Brown as an honorable mention. I don't necessarily think we lose both coordinators in one offseason like the Eagles did, but the possibility of staff leaving for promotions is likely higher than it used to be. (and a bigger deal, as well)
  4. I get not overpaying for him, but any suggestion that we aren't a better team with a player like that on the roster is pure fantasy. And any GM in the league would tell you that. We misused him, we overpaid him, we didn't have good enough blocking for him, we had absolutely awful coaching and in the end made the right decision to trade him, but having a player of that caliber makes a team better.
  5. Pretty much. Funny thing is the last head coach he had here is now in San Francisco with him.
  6. I have. They're very different quarterbacks. If you want to see quarterbacks that play like Favre, watch someone like John Elway or our own Cam Newton.
  7. Eeehhh, not really. He had a couple of nice highlights but he was wildly inconsistent.
  8. Neither of the legacy guys (Proehl or Greene) I was kinda hoping at least one might make it.
  9. Yep. Phenomenal player...terrible broadcaster.
  10. "Rice Lung" or something along those lines would have been better
  11. Also from that clip... "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
  12. Pretty much. There have definitely been announcers who played for other teams that made fine broadcasters. Ryan could turn out to be that as well.
  13. Uuuhhh...no. Favre always had just general vicinity accuracy and was capable of being wildly inconsistent. People loved the high velocity of his throws, but judgment wise he was easily capable of following up an "OMG" throw with a "WTF" one. Hell, Packer fans cheered when he finally learned to throw one away rather than taking a huge risk. Mahomes is far more stable. Yes, people rave about his wild "off platform" throws but what's actually most important is that his regular throws are accurate and consistent. Does Reid's system help? I'm sure it does because it's helped every other quarterback he's coached, but that doesn't mean Mahomes isn't talented.
  14. Levis was Lady Cowboy Fan's favorite among our options. I wanted Stroud but was good with Young...just nervous about his durability. That nervousness will remain until it's proven to be misplaced.
  15. Mahomes has it between the ears too. There are plenty of guys who can "rip it" and...not much else. For some, that's the most important traits to look for. I prefer a guy who has what Young has.
