I have always liked Billick. Oddly enough, during his coaching tenure at Baltimore, his team was known for its amazing defense. Before landing that job, he was considered an offensive guru when he was with the Vikings as OC.

Yep, true stuff. Gruden was similar to Billick in that he was an offensive "guru" coaching a team that was known for their great defense year in and year out, but not really their offense. Both of those offensive coaches never produced a juggernaut offense for their respective teams during their tenure. I guess you have to chalk up most of the credit to Kiffin and Ryan.

I feel bad for Billick just because he has to deal with Brenneman. That guy is a straight up tard. Idk who all watched the Florida/Cincinnati game, but at one point Billick was explaining why teams have concerns about The Golden Calf of Bristol's QB abilities...I laughed so hard at this that I remember it almost verbatim:

Billick, "You can see on almost every throw he makes, that his throwing motion dips all the way down to his thigh, which will probably have to be completely reworked in the NFL."

Brennamen, "...why?"

Billick, "Well, think about it like this. Dan Marino was a hall-of-fame quarterback because he had one of the most efficient throwing motions of all time. He could get the ball out of his hands in an instant."

Brennamen, "So let me get this straight...you're comparing The Golden Calf of Bristol to a Hall-Of-Fame Quarterback! That is high praise."

Billick, "...."

Isn't it funny that former coaches and players come in and broadcast better than some of the guys who focus their career on that? Ofcourse, that can also be vice versa *cough* Rodney Harrison *cough*

When he was talking to Billick about how great it had been for them to work together this year. And then he said "I wish you the best whether you go back into coaching or come back into the booth." And then there was kind of a pause and Brenneman said "sorry" then Billick said "no problem."

Am I reading too much into this? Made it sound like Brenneman and Billick knew that Billick was going back to the sideliens and that Brenneman let the cat out of the bag. I wonder if Billick has had talks with the Panthers at all.

I don't really remember the "sorry" part, or at least, not that short of an apology (might've had some more words in it - don't know).

But, what I did notice was that he said something about being back after that. Was he just covering that up? Who knows. I forget his words exactly, but he actually sounded a little convincing with whatever he said. He genuinely made it sound like he was going to be back in the booth (and like he wasn't going to enjoy it lol).

    • Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.  
    • I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.
    • Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
