  1. Yeah, his size had nothing to do with that. Elbows and knees are weak spots on even the largest people, if not even more so. I hope the kid can come back from that, he was a real revelation at QB.
  2. This ^ 100 percent. We really are that close. A good draft, a couple of free agent pick ups and we can move ahead of the division rivals quickly. And we can compete, hopefully like the Jaguars did under Peterson.
  3. I'm looking forward to this, with the understanding that the writing is on the wall that with a good job done we are going to lose him to a HC job next year or the year after. Until then, I hope he gets things back on track here and helps us lock down the NFCSouth. Glad we've got him. Now l'm dying to see who will be OC.
  4. It's a job you take with the knowledge that you will get fired, eventually. And it is one of the heaviest grind jobs in the world, 16-18 hours a day, 7 days a week in season, and probably close to 75% of that in the off season. How many coaches have we seen go down had really just collapsed under the pressure and the burnout. I'm really astounded their divorce rate isn't astronomically higher than it is.
  5. I've said it before, I'll say it again, every danged team in the NFCSouth will be in the mix when it comes to hiring Carr. He's better than anyone any of the teams has at QB now and a one year upgrade would be massive. Each of the teams involved has receivers and at least a modest offensive line. Whoever grabs him has a massive leg up on this coming season and maybe for a year or two after.
  6. I'm still not completely sure that trading for Darnold was as terrible as most think, had we just had a coach that could call a game and develop a QB. There were a couple of games in his first season where Darnold put the team on his back and ran the game -- that Vikings one that he almost made a comeback in really sticks out as an "I'll do it myself, dammit" kind of thing. I'm actually hoping we give Darnold another season here as a bridge QB to see if Reich can get him straightened out while developing someone behind him. And Darnold was, sadly, the best QB we fielded last season. On the Luvu one, something just tells me that one of our scouts found him and snuck him in under the radar. However it happened, he's been a real find. He fits the mold of a Carolina linebacker.
  7. Not to mention the whole "checks and balances" thing is a proven management model.
  8. Aaron Rodgers would win them some games but could cause collateral damage within the organization that would make sure they stay a wreck for the next decade. I believe there are a lot of folks within the Green Bay organization that would breathe a sigh of relief if he ended up in Gang Green.
  9. He could honestly be getting offers from all four NFCSouth teams. And he'd probably be the top QB in the division for this season. After that... who knows. I'm not saying he's great (and I do think he's probably good), but this division went from the strongest division by QBing to the weakest in just a couple of seasons.
  10. I'd like to see us grab Austin Hooper and Poona Ford from the list, if we can get them for a bit below what they are saying the asking price is. Not that we've got a lot of spending money to walk around with... where did it all go??? Dead cap, man. CMC I can see and understand where it came from, good players get good contracts and there's always some jiggering it around. Now the $9 mill in dead cap for Robbie Anderson... that's a hanging offense just about. Daaaang.
  11. All coaches in the NFL get fired, it's probably something that Norv understands and had been in Ron's place quite a few times. Head coaching in the NFL is like bull riding, you just hang on for as long as you can and 10 seconds can be an unreachable eternity just like five seasons can be.
  12. If we took Carr and then a mid- to late- round QB to back up Corral and develop, yeah, I could get behind it. I'm not sold on getting the third or fourth best QB with our best pick, or picking up some today's flash in the pan super potential nothing happening QB like AR. Let someone else take that ride. Ask Tennessee and Atlanta how their hot QB picks have gone from last season.
  13. The die has been cast. I wanted Wilks as the HC, but management chose differently. Personally, I think Smitty's take on this is a really good one and it gave me some reasons to see the choice in a different light. But, in the end, we now have Frank Reich as our head coach, he's our guy. I'm cheering for him to turn this around and make us into winners. Can't dwell on the past so, it's time to move on. I'm looking forward to the 2023 season and watching what happens in the offseason.
  14. Just as in golf, let's try and stay out of the rough.
  15. No matter how they sell it, the wings are still the worst piece on the chicken that folks eat. Masterful marketing to turn them into their own industry.
  16. Fire the guy, take the house off the market for three months and make the payments. Then call one of the major name brand Real Estate agencies in the town and get them to list it for you. They have a vested interest in not screwing their customers. Or, alternatively, you can ask them if they offer rental management services and go that route on the property. But lost that dude. He's scamming you four ways to Wednesday.
  17. This is a good pickup and fits with our team identity.
  18. Since we're going to really parse words, how about I just say that I don't think they are going to trade up AND I think trading up is a stupid idea. And yes, the Robbie contract IS a slight on Fit. As would be the Ian Thomas one. (I keep wanting to call him Ian Anderson... but he wouldn't make a very good tight end, especially at his age.)
  19. Ninth is a good place to pick. You miss on one or two sure things, but it also let's those regularly bad teams make their selections and clear out some of the yard trash. Somehow the perennial winners always draft in the last half of the round and yet they keep winning.
  20. You never win chasing after exes or someone else's date.
