Bad review for an old friend


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Stew will certainly be a great mentor for Saquon.  Missing him in Black and Blue in terms of his personality and locker room presence.  But in terms of on field, it was right to let him go. I do hope he has some success with the Giants and can close out his career with the respect he deserves.

Stews there to teach Barkley and Gallman the finer points of playing in NFL (like stay away from OBJ's punk ass) and to help keep Eli upright. It's worth noting that he's still one of the better blocking RB's out there and the Giant's don't have a FB on the roster.

Also, I didn't realize that they picked up Scoot, I liked him! Give em hell Scoot!

We didn't run a read option based offense with Chud in 11-12

 Then we aren’t running one now. Rivera had to specifically scale back the zone/read in the second half of the season(2012) because Chud overused it.

Stewart has spent his career doing little during training season, then showing up at games and producing. I don't think these people get that.

I think he's got a year or two of decent production left, just like DeAngelo did when called upon in Pittsburgh. He is more prone to injuries than the average player, which is the bigger risk of the contract to me.

Williams ypc in our read option from 2011-2014 was 4.35. His two seasons with Pittsburgh it was 4.0 ypc

Not to mention that Deill got lazy and out of shape here inbtgst big contract.  After we cut him, he list about 25 lbs during the off-season and showed up in Pitt in great shape.

Also his one bad ypc year coincided with our OL being hit really hard with injuries in its first post Gross season

people have this misconception that deangelo williams got into shape after carolina cut him and went to pittsburgh like a man on a mission.

that's not even remotely true.

deangelo williams arrived at pittsburgh in the same lazy shape he was in when he left carolina.

mike tomlin demanded he be at 220lbs or less before the start of that season's training camp.

Same thing.......He got in shape for the season...something that his lazy ass did not do here after he got that big contract.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
