His health had to have gotten really bad. As long as he's chairman they'll be alright he IS Apple. They need to make sure they keep Jon Ive on who is the guy who designed the imacs, ipod, iphone and pretty much gave everything the sleek image we associate with apple.

from what I have read he has pancreatic cancer and has had to undergo a liver transplant in the past. My understanding of pancreatic cancer is it is extremely lethal (Gene Upshaw passed very quickly along with Patrick Swayze) but he has appeared to be dealing with this for a few years now which is really towards the upper limits of life expectancy from pancreatic cancer.

I agree with you. Jon Ive has created pretty much everything that consumers visually associate with Apple. Dude is certainly a design genius.

but it's the interfaces that make apple unique. jobs is the company.

While this is certainly true, Apple is image to many people who do not use any interface to anything close to its full potential. All these people you see with iPhones and MacBook Pros walking around want to be seen using Apple products.

What Apple products do is extremely important, but so is what Apple represents to people.

agreed but that's a function of a quality product, people associate them with quality.

you start putting out clunky interfaces and within two generations their market share will collapse given the competition.

No doubt about it. They have to continue innovating and producing quality products.

If you went up to an average Apple user on the street and told them that Steve Jobs resigned they'd have no idea what you were talking about. But you are right, if they start making less innovative products, eventually it will come back to bite them.

quickly. it's happening now with their video editing software. they've screwed the pooch and are going to see a big hit in market share. if it isn't fixed very soon, people will just move on.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
