Why, hello, my little slice of pecan pie.
Rodgers 100% taught Love the bare minimum he could get away with, if for no other reason than to spite Gutekunst for daring to draft his replacement without even the slightest of heads up. If anything, Rodgers probably tried to sabotage Love's development.

If it wasn't Aaron leading the team into the playoffs, gently caress it. He hated the entire front office anyways.

Add to that it was no secret that Favre did not try to help Rodgers which is definitely something a man with no gruntles would pass on.

We know that Rodgers didn't trust Love to lead the team (or, refused to sit simply because of ego) because when Rodgers got hurt last year he wouldn't sit out so Love could develop.

I think it's less doesn't trust the kid and more "gently caress that guy, he's not taking my job." Like I think he's more likely to sit out if he knows the backup isn't a threat (the Peyton Manning school of backup QBs), but it's perfectly reasonable for Aaron to not want to give Love a chance when he knows the bosses are just looking for an excuse to replace him.

I wouldn't doubt that. But at the time they were 4-8 and while Rodgers did lead them back to miss out on the playoffs in the most embarrassing fashion he should have stepped aside. He could barely grip the ball.

I don't see MLF getting fired this year under any circumstances, the Packers for better or worse are not a rebuild type organization you need an owner with a leathery face and hair trigger for that.

We really don't know what we have with Love, I predicted 3500yds 22td/14int something like that which these days is league average. League average is pretty good when you could be starting Tommy DeVito.

“Better than the third string QB on a team that doesn’t haven’t a starting quality QB on the roster” is a really generous way to look at things.

What you’re describing as league average is really just the minimum acceptable level of play that *might* keep you from getting replaced immediately. It’s an alright bar for a rookie but so far Love is below even that bar this year.

Rodgers definitely thinks him sticking by Zach forever now is something that'll be seen as him disproving the haters about the Love situation, when in reality half of the fans think he's just finally accepting reality and realizing retirement's close, and the rest of us know Zach's going to be gone at the latest as soon as Rodgers is too (assuming someone competent/sane is in charge by then) and thus isn't a legit threat at "replacing" him

Yeah, the thing with betting odds is that they're predicting how the general public will wager, not necessarily what will happen. I imagine there's a negative Browns bump the same way there's a positive Cowboys bump just because of the general reputation of the teams.

If I'm a low-information gambler and I see that the Browns coach is getting decent odds to be fired, I'm gonna take that bet because lol Browns.

That game and keeping the team fighting in close matchups all last season are the reasons they’re calling him a coach of the year candidate on espn. I don’t think that list is really serious about the bottom few but they need some long odds guys

As a Bucs fan I hope they keep him around bc that dude’s never doing better than like a 8-9 / 9-8 division win over a truly garbage NFC S division and even that’s his absolute ceiling

In general with the NFC South this year you gotta keep in mind we have the softest of soft schedules and still every team looks BAD

I can see what you mean, and Allen is definitely a mediocre coach, but I'm used to seeing defensive coaches do a poor job defensively for their teams, and I think the Saints D is one of their better aspects. If there was a way to get rid of the man at the top while not losing that edge, that'd be preferable for New Orleans.

Punting it to Bagent so he could immediately throw it to a waiting defnmensive back is a brilliant strategy.

DA taking a demotion as a hotshot OC comes in to be HC would be ideal for nola. Dude can clearly coach a defense and he seems to be able to turn any DB into an all pro. He just needs to be taken away from everything to do with the actual leading of a team.

Yeah they need a few 50:1??? I can’t afford NOT to take a shot at that guys. Narrator: you could in fact afford not to take a shot of KOC being fired.

Arthur Smith not being on the list is way more baffling. Granted I don’t know how Atlanta’s ownership operates but it feels like his seat should only be about 5 degrees cooler than McDaniels.

Half of the qbs in the league getting hurt and/or benched for performance sure has been something. Hopefully this draft class lives up to the hype cause it’s rough out there. Usually a couple times a year you look at the slate of games and wince. This year it’s like every drat week.

To come to the defense of the NFC North's honor, I think Goff is probably the most dangerous QB in the division right now and is seriously underappreciated, especially with how nasty the Lions' O-line can be. I'd also argue that the Vikings' O-line is seriously underappreciated, particularly if Darrisaw DOES come back, and the Vikes' WR corps -- even depleted as it is -- can kill you fifteen ways before the play clock hits zero. That being said, I think the Saints are going to be a BIG challenge for the Vikings.

As for the rest, there's two others I might call potentially challengeing. The Falcons are seriously struggling, of course, but in-divisional games are always insanity; likewise Baker and the Bucs may have lost that Texans game but they still put up 37 points on it. As for the rest, the Rams are still kind of a disaster, the Giants are ACTUALLY a disaster, and I don't want to look too hard at the Panthers lest the radioactivity sunburn my eyeballs.

They aren't even scrappy like LAST YEAR'S PANTHERS.

What you say is also true. I was thinking about the lions in the sense that DanMCs first year by W-L was pretty bad but you could just tell the team was bought in and lacked talent. This team looks neither bought in nor does their supposed new talent look good. It's hopeless.

I mean, the Panthers looked like a considerably worse team than the 2023 Chicago Bears. They needed a punt return TD to be in the game at all! That’s loving dire.

As is having so little confidence in the QB you selected #1 overall that you would rather have your kicker attempt a field goal he clearly doesn’t have the leg to actually make as opposed to putting the ball in your young QB’s hands on 4th&10.

You have to get Frank Reich the gently caress out of there immediately. Ruining your #1 overall QB is grounds for immediate termination. Remove him before Bryce is unfixable.

how do you sell yourself to any head coaching candidate (let alone any worth hiring) when you have essentially fired 3 coaches in a calendar year, your offense has no weapons and a soft o-line, your best defensive player is about to leave in free agency & you don't have a first-round pick
