If it's any good news wen the Titans broke out it didn't affect the Vikings. Hope it holds the same for us. 

Also the Chiefs survived Gilmore.  

So far there is evidence (albeit a small sample size) that teams aren't spreading it to another during the game.

I miss the good ole days when you knew you were sick because you actually felt sick and not because some “test” told you that you were sick. We can end this casedemic (because let’s face it, that’s what this is) in a week if every single person just stopped getting tested

We should be totally fine from the 4 that just tested positive. They would have in all likelihood been at the beginning of their incubation period at the time of the game and would have all had 2 negative tests since then so contagiousness would be close to zero. The DT that tested positive earlier in the week would be the main worry.

Come on man, how many asymptomatic cases are you going to have to hear about before you start realizing that hey, yes this is dangerous for a very small % of Americans, but for the overwhelming vast majority, it’s not dangerous 

The solution isn't to stop testing, the solution is to do more testing so that it is known where the cases are in order to stop the spread. Also how are scientist going to develop treatments / vaccines if no one is tested and therefore there is no data?

Have you heard of 215,000 of them?

I would absolutely love to know out of all these “cases” how many of these players/staff members actually became ill. Nick Saban is 68, just tested positive and is completely asymptomatic. Same goes for the saints owner who is 77 and recovered in 4 days

Yeah, I'm sure these wealthy well connected people have the exact same access to doctors and treatments that you or I would.

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
