There's some rumors that McDaniels will be back but as HC (:gonk:). Vrabel is another rumor (:geno:). A part of me wants Jarod Mayo to get it but that's because I want more black head coaches in the league.

I wonder if there's some drama behind the scenes where Kraft wants to present the whole thing as a mutual parting of the ways and Belichick's like 'No, you gotta fire me, bitch'. Because that feels like it would be totally in-character for him.

Belichick is still under contract (as he was clear to point out in his press conference yesterday) so my theory is Kraft is seeing who wants to trade for Bill. Why fire him when you could get a draft pick or some other compensation from another team?

Patrick Mahomes is in the bottom quartile for air yards per attempt and has been been declining for like three straight years in a row. By the end of next season he'll only throw passes behind the LOS.

Belichick clearly doesn't want to be fired and is probably trying to convince Kraft of a way forward.

Last year Mahomes was 2nd in the league in adjusted yards per attempt. higher than Brady's career avg. What the gently caress is air yards per attempt, who cares about that? Gardner Minshew and Jameis Winston lead the league in that last year, so I'm okay with Mahomes being in the "bottom quartile", you loving dweeb

Yes. Aesthetically it’s very different to throw deep vs making correct passes that get lots of yards after the catch. If we are discussing whether or not Mahomes is “fun” it is relevant that many people prefer the former to the latter.

Brady dinked & dunked his way to his first 3 Super Bowls.

If you've got a good defense, and you can score points and limit turn overs by dinking and dunking, well... that's a pretty good way to win. Seems like that's how the Chiefs have been doing it this year. It's not like some kind of black stain. I'm sure if they can ever find some better receivers that can catch Mahomes will start stretching the field again. Rice coming on down the stretch and becoming the actual WR1 will probably help next season.

Chiefs have always had a lot of dink and dunk, screens, etc. It's great when you have space because the defense is terrified of getting owned downfield. Defenses are not terrified this year.

I would also like Patrick Mahomes to not win another ring any time soon because that's boring and Chiefs fans don't deserve that much happiness. I'd also like Josh Allen and Tua to not win because gently caress all other AFCe teams.

Lamar is cool and good.
CJ Stroud is cool and good.
Flacco is cool but the Browns are not. That's a no go.
lol Steelers
Purdy is cool and good. Shanahan is awesome.
gently caress the Cowboys
Goff isn't cool but the Lions are.
Never really cared for Baker. Don't like Bowles.
Eagles can gargle balls.
Rams just won. No thanks.
lol Packers

So we have Baltimore and Houston as ring worthy in the AFC and SF and Detroit in the NFC.

I see why the Chiefs bought into MVS on a certain level (I thought it was a terrible idea all along but whatever). Dude does get open fairly regularly downfield, he's honestly pretty good or at least ok at that. And yeah, you need someone to stretch the field. Then the problems happen.

It still wouldn't be a good season for him but without thinking very hard I can come up with about 250 yards he left on the field because of the obvious drops, running into coverage after he had it beat instead of away from it, etc. A frustrating player to watch to say the least.

He's just there. Goff isn't the reason to root for the Lions winning a ring; the Lions as a whole are.

Goff is the alpha and the omega, he is both the most and least important lion. You can never know his position until you observe him, thus changing the outcome.

Actually your find that per Adjusted Average Expected Ground and Air Yards Per Attempt Deliniated Per Game Average that Daniel Jones is actually a good quarterback and Tom Brady kind of sucks.

I am good with Baker’s evolution into the next Ryan Fitzpatrick. There’s much worse guys to root for. But with the Bucs having just recently won one they’re pretty far down the list of teams I’m pulling for

There’s nothing particularly advanced about Air Yards, it’s just how much do you throw downfield? How deep are your targets? An extreme in either direction is probably not ideal
