If this turns out to be true the Saints* could squeak by... Or at least the players could. The coaches have already confessed.

I guess because there really isnt a shelf life for coaches they find it easier to accept the punishment, players on the other hand will have a hard time especially veterans like Vilma of coming back from a lengthy suspension.

Oh well, fug em

I don't see how this information undermines the case against Vilma. Just because he is disgruntled doesn't mean what he said wasn't true. Plus if this was all they had then it might be a problem but it wasn't. There are thousands of pages of documents. A disgruntled employee may have got the ball rolling but it was surely not the only person who discussed the issues. Vilma is just throwing things against the wall hoping something sticks.

So in a murder case for instance, if someone tips the police to who the murderer is, the cops go bring him in. The guy admits to it, but then later he starts whining that the person who turned him in happens to be his angry ex-girlfriend, and thus the case isn't valid?

Sounds legit.

No, not by any stretch. With the short attention span of this country coupled with our flair for revisionist history all it would take to sway public opinion and force the hand of the league is a few well timed articles and just enough doubt enducing debate and these assholes get off Scott free.

OJ anyone?

      He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.

      RODS gotta GO

      I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
