Brooklyn 3.0

The Unpopular Opinion thread is that way ...

Dear OneBadCat, see thread title.

We just need to change the name of the term. ZERO players will ever tank (unless they are gambling). Most coaches will not tank. I'd imagine many owners/GMs would like the team to tank but they can't control that. What we as fans are actually thinking when we say "tank" is that we are 100% ok if the team loses out, and we hope they lose out. We don't actually think/hope they throw a game. So ... we just need to come up with a new name for what we've be calling tanking. IOWL (I'm ok with losing) lol.

So what's your point? We have CMC slander too. We're allowed to not like players. And just to make you boil, mine is ... Cam Newton was not an elite QB. He was only very good.

Sure, if he doesn't get a HC offer.

Nice run, CMC.

What an obnoxious and odd first quarter.

You're 62? I would not have guessed that.

Note to self: Pick up the Dolphins D in FF next season.

Who's next?

That's because it was. We're teetering on Cowboys fan teritory with threads like this.

Who is this Wilkes guy five or so of you keep mentioning?

Yeah, pretty sure Danny Crossman could've outperformed Rhule.

Hey, man, if you think Wilks is an 11 or 12 game a season coach if he's on a very good team ... cool for you. Let's see if it pans out next time he gets a HC gig.

We don't say Wilks didn't do better because of Sam, Baker, and PJ? Pretty sure we have said that. You have to judge a coach on something. If we sit here and say the best coaches have the best teams ... well duh. So all you can go on is what their stats say. Had Wilks gone 12-0 (hell, even 9-3) instead of 6-6, he'd be our coach. If you want to call Reich and Wilks dead even in terms of skill and ability ... cool. I'm fine with that. So at that point you ask what did the team want. The answer was an offensive minded coach. That's not Wilks. End of story.

If only there were professionals who deal with dirty clothing.

I'm trying to grasp what you're arguing here. Do you think every coach should be kept around until he gets a good QB ... and then get evaluated? Does this mean that QB play directly ties to the record a coach will have? If so, does that mean the QB is the real reason a team has success and a coach is just some guy? If so, why even have coaches? Coaches have to be able to do well with good and bad QBs. He did not do well in AZ and he was average at best here. If you think that deserves him sticking around, ok. That's your take. Most others here do not share that philosophy though. Also curious as to how long you would've given Rhule if you were Tepper. His QBs were nothing to write home about.

Race relations/tension are such a messy thing in this world of ours. It's a shame. It will never stop though. 500 years from now, it will still be there turning heads. The easiest thing to do is just make all coaches in the NFL and NBA POC. And if any whites complain, tell them to go play some damn golf, get into banking, join a cornhole league, surf, or do real estate. But yeah, don't see that happening. It's all an unsolvable situation because for whatever reason, our society has deemed skin color to actually hold some sort of difference in the way we act as people ... no matter which "skin color" you ask. So stupid. If aliens ever land here and ask what we're like, someone should say: we're idiots ... you might want to leave.

AR reminds people of someone.

Well he's not going to ATL as DC. They hired someone else.

I mean, IF he can keep it up (many can't), give it a go. You have to have fan favorites, team HOFers, legends, etc. Next thing you know we'll be doing it to WRs too. Sometimes players deserve to stay around, even if it costs us.

Sure you can. We have to give up #9 and a future 1st. Not ideal, and I wouldn't do it, but no one wants the 9ers picks.

I said we ARE a better team with him. As in, right now. If we get a QB, with Reich at the helm, plus CMC? Daaaaamn. But again, the ship has sailed. We have two standard power RBs.

Seriously? Etienne is on his rookie contract. Get back to me when he agrees to play for that much when he signs his big boy contract.
