I can't think of a single remake that was better than the original that I saw. The problem is they remake the classics. I know some will laugh at this, but I don't think you mess with The Longest Yard. Or Planet of the Apes. Or anything that got it right the first time. Remake something that someone effed up.

The only remake I have ever seen that was almost as good as the original was "The Elusive Pimpernel" starring David Niven as The Scarlet Pimpernel. This was a remake of "The Scarlet Pimpernal" played perfectly by Leslie Howard. "Sink Me!"

The Scarlet Pimpernel was the original James Bond and Batman rolled into one!

"The seek him here,

They seek him there,

Those Frenchies seek him everywhere!

Is he in Heaven,

or is he in H3ll

That damned elusive Pimpernel!"

Do you really wanna see a remake of Bio Dome? :eek:

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
