Since it came up in another thread and it's tangentially related, here's what Lady Cowboy Fan got me for my birthday...

Been wanting this book for a while. She knows me well 🙂

And because she knows me well, she also got me this 😆

You seem like a good ole’ dude and I’m grateful you keep bringing yourself back to this site.

Have you ever read "Blood, Sweat, and Chalk" by Tim Layden? It's an origin story of the modern game's formation and play designs.

"This is one of the most important sports books of our generation-and a lot of fun too. The formations and philosophies that win Super Bowls and national titles are made crystal clear. If you live for fall weekends, this is your book." - Peter King

I'll put it on my list.

Let’s hope he knows more about evaluating NFL personnel than he did about running pizza parlors 

He was 15 years ahead of the curve. That's why that place didn't work out. The food and service were great, but other than Ballantyne Village and Stonecrest, that area was a ghost town on weeknights and weekends back then. Today that place would be packed to the gills with insufferable transplants, rich, old creeps with young wives, and their cougar ex-wives on the prowl.

I know it’s fun to pile on everything Rhule but his drafts have actually been above average and if you take out the Hurney year last years draft class legitimately was a really good one. Save the inexplicable Fletcher pick all of our picks contributed in spite of Rhule. I know we want to be negative all the time but nah this isn’t one I’m letting slide our scouts did a heck of a job once Fitt got here.

It's not so bad. Folks tend to leave you alone.

Snow and I will save a seat for you at the table. 

Not only do people tend to leave you alone, they also tend to not put you in situations that you don't want to be in to begin with.  It has a lot of advantages.

    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth. 
    • Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.
    • I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
