  1. I can tell you two other players I hear people talk about that they say would make great coaches. Our own Greg Olsen, obviously a great player, and Tony Romo kind of a half decent player. (Lady Cowboy Fan would fight me on that) They're both obviously smart and do a lot of analysis. As far as coaching, I'd give the edge to Olsen because he's the son of a coach and basically grew up in that environment. Romo? Not so sure. Thing is though, it doesn't seem like either of them really wants to coach, at least not at the pro level. And I can absolutely understand that. The kind of commitment that it takes to coach in the pros can be beyond exhausting. Numerous coaches have burned out in the past. Meanwhile, both guys have really good gigs and are making very good money doing them, so why leave that for something so high pressure? I'll grant though that it's possible either of them could change their minds down the road and become coaches or even personnel guys. Heck, Frank Reich didn't go right into coaching, just like Dan Morgan didn't go directly into scouting. If they do though, here's hoping their success from booth to the field translates better than that of Matt Millen
  2. Damn! The story confirms that two of the suspended players have already been released. Seems they've got a bit of a gambling problem up in Michigan
  3. The social media team is actually pretty smart. They know what everybody's talking about, so they're doing a little subtle trolling.
  4. I was already at the point where I was watching the kids of guys I saw when I was young. Now we're getting up to me watching their grandkids. Sad face? Old face might be more appropriate
  5. Not sure. He'd likely be a fantastic motivator. Don't know enough about how he'd be as a teacher (same question I had about Kuechly). I know when I was young, Bart Starr was coaching the Packers. He's revered as an all-time great at quarterback. Coach? Not so much. It all just depends on the player.
  6. Same. He's still my preferred choice, though not my expected one. Also not a big analytics guy, honestly. I'm one of those guys who would much rather scout football tape than lay a bunch of numbers out on a spreadsheet. I'm okay with using analytics, but they shouldn't be valued over what you see on the field.
  7. That's because he doesn't consider Stroud a top QB! Sorry. Just anticipating what some goofball might say in response
  8. I've already said they should just have two extra linemen in on those plays and have them throw him over the pile
  9. Willingness to spend a ridiculous number of hours a week watching and analyzing game tape. That's something coaches do regularly. The argument can be made though that this translates more into the pro scouting role that he formerly had than it does coaching. Pro scouts don't just check out players. They look at film of other teams to help scout for tendencies, weaknesses and game planning ideas that they then give to the coaches who use it for teaching. Can Luke teach others himself though? Honestly don't know. That's something former teammates good probably testify to one way or another.
  10. I think the third picture is implying you should get a number 121 jersey. I don't know if that's possible
  11. Four players on one team...
  12. They didn't Photoshop him into a Panthers uniform though so it doesn't count
  13. What made Kuechly special is something that pretty easily translates to coaching. Actually don't think he's going to be a coach though. His short foray with the Panthers was in scouting, but part of me wonders if his working so hard and putting so much time into football over the last several years burned him out a little. Some guys can't do anything halfway. It winds up being better for them if they don't do it at all.
  14. Posted solely for the purpose of seeing what people can try to make of it
  15. I wasn't until you mentioned this
  16. I've actually started to ponder what my score would be if I could take this test. Mind you, I never played quarterback. My close friend who did wasn't very good with tests
  17. (Lady Cowboy Fan and I are approaching this status)
  18. If they valued the S2 that heavily, their second choice would probably be Will Levis (93)
  19. Fair enough. Fairly certain David and Goliath references are on their way as well.
  20. Kinda like this guy... (truthfully I could probably post pictures of several of our staff members and it still be valid)
