My wife is whining now, for the fourth day about it. After a contentious back and fourth---including "You need to compromise!", "I'm going out then!" and my reply "Bye, enjoy yourself!", and "My feelings are hurt!" and me saying "You're too old for this, you know the deal!"---I just might be in the "clear", though I wouldn't bet on it.

She's out of town with family this weekend, but I like having an SO who's a football fan.

 

 

Granted it'd be better if she wasn't a hardcore Cowboys fan, but hey...

They were showing Frank Reich's comeback game on NFL Network. Made me ponder something.

The Panthers yanked Reich for Kerry Collins about three games into the season. Wonder how things might have been different if they'd stuck with Reich and let Collins spend his whole first season learning.

That first season might not have finished as well, but would Collins have been better off long-term?

My wife will casually watch the Panthers as she watches YT videos, scans FB, and plays Addiction Solitaire. She fancies herself a Panthers fan, but I do razz her about being a Cowboys fan! Why? Because her sister is a Cowboys fan, and whenever the family has a chance to get together and watch a Panthers-Cowboys game (or even a Packers-Cowboys game, because I have a Cheesehead nephew), my wife will root for her sister's team to not do so bad because "everybody is ganging up on my sister." I then get to calling her a Cowboys fan and tell her I'm getting her some Cowboys gear.

Lady Cowboy Fan is, shall we say, aggressive in her Cowboy fanhood.

She'll fight you :Eyes_Emoji_42x42:

Yeah, man, my sister-in-law is a gear-wearing Cowboys fan! She isn't hard hardcore, but she takes it all in stride. The thing that gets me is that she divorced her husband a decade ago (and it was somewhat contentious), and he is a hardcore Cowboys fan as much as I am a Panthers fan. I tell my sister-in-law, "It's OK to switch to the Panthers now. The only reason you're a Cowboys fan is because of your ex!" She (nor her daughters) won't budge though! They'll be Cowboys fans until they die!

I'm still going to keep razzing them though!

I'm resigned to the fact that I'm going to live the next several years of my life surrounded by Cowboys gear :fear:

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      That's part of being patient too. Not rushing players into roles they aren't ready for. Make them earn it. If you convince yourself that "so and so" needs to start because they were a first round pick, even though they have done nothing to earn it, you have set up both team and player for failure. You can convince yourself all day long that "there is no substitute for game experience" but if the guy can't do his job in practice, he can't do it in a game. Not consistently, anyway.  Teams like the Steelers, the Ravens and the Packers ROUTINELY bench rookies to start off with and no one bats an eyelash. Even if the team is losing. Because that's what they do. They have set the precedent. The players have to show they are ready. Then they get their chance.

      Be careful what you wish for

      Let me provide you with some food for thought. Before this "now era" of the NFL, QBs were allowed time to develop. Everyone from the GM to the fans had more patience. QBs were simply better in the old because they were afforded the time to sit, observe and learn. It's no wonder that guys we threw away, or simply didn't want, have had varying degrees of success elsewhere.  Some Huddlers were talking crazy about Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson---just crazy...

      I think the JAG debates are largely people having vastly different definitions of JAG.  The OG JAG LB debate was James Anderson.  And James Anderson is probably going to be ahead of Shaq on my alltime LB list (it's really close though).
