  1. That's a very different discussion... It was always fun to watch when Luke would notice something and go apesh-t right before a snap
  2. Rams are honestly in kind of a weird spot with McVay right now.
  3. Setting aside whether you want him here or not, the comment that it's fair market for a good vet is probably true. We signed Bridgewater for around 20 million if I remember right. That was fair for a veteran at the time. With inflation and the cap going up, 35 is probably a good figure now.
  4. I wonder what position group I should start with
  5. When I say quit looking for "the next" I'm talking more about us than scouts because when it's done here it's more sentimental than analytical. That said, I think Honest NFL is right. It's gotten kind of lazy.
  6. I hadn't looked but one of our resident capologists might have.
  7. No. Just clarifying which active quarterbacks have Super Bowl rings. Not every post has an agenda behind it.
  8. I'm not sure where Rimmer is getting his numbers from.
  9. On the topic of pro comparisons, I've kinda started to feel like this too... It gets worse when it's clouded by lostalgia, i.e. people constantly looking for "the next Cam". That's why I say stop looking for the next this guy, the next that guy or the next whoever and just evaluate the players for who they are. It's about skills, traits and characteristics, not who they wistfully (or wishfully) remind you of.
  10. And now, Broncos writer Mike Klis tries to put a positive spin on things...
  11. Apparently someone thought that nickname didn't sound good, but Mrs Boze responded... As I recall, we previously had a "White Buffalo" too (Andrew Norwell). Now we've gone from buffalo to rhino Seriously though, extend this guy.
  12. Person with a summary article in The Athletic...
  13. Are we getting into the old "just win one Super Bowl and I'm good for the next 20 years" debate again?
  14. Wilson denies the story, but... So both Russell Wilson and Jim Harbaugh are sounding off? Yeah, there's gonna be some interesting reading available for the next few days
  15. A lot of us who played likely have stories like this. Could probably make a whole thread of it We've done a thread on old sports injuries before. Found out loads of us were still walking around with souvenirs from our "glory days".
  16. There's a few more than that, but they're not all starters. Brady retiring (again) took all of his off the table.
  17. Meanwhile Jim Harbaugh tells everyone in Michigan (again) that he didn't really want those NFL jobs, but even so they should consider NFL teams attempting to lure him away a good thing. Yyyyyyeah
  18. Valid, but it's also true the NIL sh-t has pissed an awful lot of coaches off.
  19. Ooohhh, this is gonna be interesting
  20. Read about it a little after Peter was drafted but before he was revealed to be a total bust. Not exactly one of my favorite memories Yikes Junior high Coach used to have us running sideways on a moderate incline but your story sounds much worse. And yes, I've puked at practice
  21. Funny, but player positions aren't the only thing we can talk about here. Even the roles and duties on the coaching staff are not so narrowly defined as they once might have been. I imagine a conversation about that sort of thing might go something like this: "What does a quarterback coach do?" "He coaches quarterbacks." "How about a runningback coach?" " He coaches runningbacks." "What does an offensive line coach do?" "He coaches offensive linemen." "What does a passing game coordinator do?" "Wait...a what?" "Oh by the way, the runningback coach is also assistant head coach. What are his duties?" "He assists the head coach?!" "What does that mean?" "Uuummm...I don't know." "Okay" See, there was a time when you could just go down the list of a coaching staff and put what everybody did in a neat little box, but that's not really true anymore. And Frank Reich has made pretty clear that he plans for coaching to be a collaborative effort. This is a game for professionals, and thinkers. It's human chess, and checkers players aren't gonna do well. Why do you think our last head coach got fired?
