Sean Payton on The Jimmy


CRA

Recommended Posts

So I guess in sports we all believe every team has a shot....especially in the NFL on a week by week basis.

Apparently, Payton didn't feel Carolina had a shot w/ The Jimmy to pick up a win against a divisional opponent late in the year.

I mean, you know your QB play is bad when someone doesn't even have a little hope that you can pull of an upset against a divisional opponent. (which bad teams do fairly often).

I mean, this is a coach that saw his own team lose by double digits to Colt that same year. But with Peyton, "any given Sunday" doesn't apply when The Claw is at QB.

Ah, so that's the excuse for Marshawn Lynch running over the entire Saints defense...

At the end of the season everyone is beat up and everyone is tired, it becomes a manhood thing and we can all see where the Saints are on the manhood scale after getting beat by the first team in the history of the NFL to make the playoffs with a losing record.

Looks more like an indictment of our QB situation last year in general, and not specifically against Jimmy.

it was a week 17 game he was dwelling on. Clausen had been driving this ship for awhile (and was the QB for the overwhelming majority of the year).

I think Peyton would have thought Moore gave us a puncher's chance.

I don't care if you like Jimmy or not, or even if he sucks. I don't like outsiders trashing my boys. Only we can do that..

FUG YOU!!! Sean Payton. FUG YOU! :biggrin:

Yup, he may be a chump but he's our chump... Payton needs to pop another Vicoden and mind his own business.

You'd tap it

Maybe if he put that speedo back on and grew his hair out again I'd consider it. Do you want me to post a picture of girls I bang all the time? I'll post one of this hottie I banged on Saturday night!

Some chick is about to pick me up right now and take me out on her dime. I know people damnit!

If you're a real Panthers fan, then he's your chump as long as he wears a Panthers uniform.

Good thing I can get back to being a "real Panthers" fan soon then. I don't have to be a fan of everyone on the team. I'm a fan of the team. If they make a decision that I feel isn't in the best interest of the team, which I felt when they drafted Jimmy, I will be upset and I'm not forced to like him.

Doesn't mean I'm renouncing my fandom. I'd just be a happier fan when he isn't starting. I'll be an ecstatic fan when he's playing for the Toronto Argonauts

Agree, but we're talking about this in the context of an outsider putting down someone in a Panthers uniform.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
