  1. All the sobbing faces in the crowd were hilarious. You might be the most privileged people on Earth if you're crying over an egomaniac's botched curtain call.
  2. Hurney Derangement Syndrome. As long as it's not Hurney it's good and to be defended no matter what. These people still think Gettleman was brilliant.
  3. He's just not very good. Big, athletic, powerful dude with subpar skill set who hasn't improved. He'll always have a punchers chance but legitimately good fighters are going to beat him most of the time. That's back to back 1st round knockout losses and he got flat out dominated last night.
  4. It was awesome watching K just wanting to runaway and hide during the festivities. Shitting on his curtain call was great. He wanted this year to be all about him. Getting his ass kissed everywhere along the way. Well last night at the crescendo the Heels didn't play along. Loved Bacot's comments after the game. We were either going to win a basketball game or a fight tonight. Last night highlighted the difference between UNC and K. Dean Smith and Roy Williams both quietly retired post-season. K needed a farewell tour exalting his greatness. K had a huge ceremony to worship him after the game. Hubert told the postgame reporter to talk to his players instead. At Carolina it's all about Carolina and Hubert gets that. At duke it's all about K. I don't know if Hubert pans out in the long run, but damn last night was awesome and I look forward to seeing how he shapes the program in coming years.
  5. He's started a ton of games. The vast majority have been bad. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.
  6. It was an illusion. As soon as the rest of the league had some film to study of him in our system he was done. He must have blatantly obvious tendencies on film.
  7. OL is a facilitator position, period. It allows you to get the best out of your skill position players but if you're trash there, well you're just trash.
  8. They both have GREAT arms with good mobility and a great ability to throw on the move. They're both significantly above average athletes for NFL QBs
  9. Sam Howell had this year's fastest ball at the Combine at 59mph. For reference: Josh Allen: 62mph Patrick Mahomes: 60mph Cam Newton: 56mph Justin Herbert: 55mph Like I've been saying, Howell has a certified cannon.
  10. Brees was very good on the move in his younger days. 4.7 is a solid time for a QB even in today's NFL (Rodgers ran a 4.71 and Mahomes ran a 4.8, Burrow didn't run).
  11. It's so simple. That's why there's all these old school pocket statues lighting up the league currently.
  12. Manning's immobility is a myth. No, he wasn't going to take off scrambling but his mobility within the pocket was very good.
  13. Who are all those 5'11" guys who have been hyped up and flopped?
  14. Wilson's talent is legit. He's like a bigger armed Burrow physically. Does he have it mentally? We'll see.
  15. I'm intrigued by Corral. If there's a better QB early, it's him. I think Ridder is a good backup. I just don't see him as a starter. Pickett? See Ridder. Malik is a total wildcard. If I had to bet money, I think he gets a GM fired.
  16. We'll find out next year. Definitely not writing a guy off after one year under Gase with the Jets.
  17. I'll take Sam Howell. Y'all can have the field. Spoiler alert: I'm gonna win.
  18. Those guys were drafted 20+ years ago. That's the problem. If you're relying on having to have a Brady or Manning level football mind... well, you're probably fuged.
  19. The prototype has changed greatly over the years though. No QB was knocked for lack of mobility on the '80s but those prototype pocket statues get significantly downgraded in the .modern era.
  20. Uh oh. That's how you end up with Teddy Bridgewater.
  21. Rhule is going to tank this bitch to the bottom of the ocean on his way out. Keeping him for this year will prove to be the most colossal error in the history of the franchise.
  22. Great example of what I'm talking about. Best IOL in the game. Zero playoff wins through four seasons. Colts have a roughly 55% winning percentage during that time. It's just not an impact position. At long as your IOL isn't a liability, check that box and move on but don't dump premium picks or big time cap space into it. The Buffalo Bills drafted Josh Allen with the very next draft pick. OUCH.
  23. The only argument I can make for it is if you're a team drafting in the top 10 due to a pick acquired via trade and you're a contender with IOL as one of your key needs. I'd still be trying to trade down. But if you're a team picking on the top 10 earned by sucking ass, you can't afford to take IOL in the top 10. Positional value matters. If you put a HOF center on our roster what does it do? How many wins do we add? Any?
