Some of the poorest people from "modest" backgrounds are some of the most republican people you will ever meet.

Yep. Rodeo just doesn't want to admit he spoke of something he doesn't know here.

I worked in an NFL locker room for seven years. Ninety percent of the players really don't give a crap about politics, but lean Republican because they know how hard they worked for their money. There are some far left exceptions...Rodney Peete, some linebacker we got from the Giants early in Fox's tenure...but most of them are looking out for number one.

A key difference between NFL athletes and Hollywood types...most Hollywood types have worked with homosexuals throughout their lives and sympathize with them. NFL players use gay slurs all the time. It's just the culture. So Hollywood types get money and refuse to support politicians who say bad things about gay people. NFL players get money and love hearing those things.

This explains why John Fox is always so conservative with his play calling...

But most people with huge sums of money generally do tend to vote republican even football players. The exception is hollywood entertainers who tend to be overwhelmingly liberal and higher ups in the technology industry.

its because democrats put funding into liberal arts and technology fields whilst guess who doesn't? Likewise for Republicans and sports entertainment.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
