To be fair, they're not in a position to win right now, and Cutler isn't going to make a difference in that with the time in his career remaining. If you're going to rebuild, bite the bullet and rebuild. Give some younger guy a chance to improve or prove himself.

iospace posted:Did we pick up any better secondary? Because good gods that always made me cry last year. We got back House from the Jaguars, which will essentially fill the void left by Hyde leaving, which is to say, no we haven't improved the secondary yet. We'll probably draft a CB within the first two rounds, given how deep the class is this year, but TT seems intent on letting the younger guys develop instead of bringing in veteran talent. We'll see how that pans out - Rollins looked ok before getting injured, Randall was too injured to tell how he's going to do, Gunter has flashes of brilliance but is not up to guarding another team's #1.

We have a friend who is probably one of the only Vikings fans in a ~1800 mile radius - after we hosted a Xmas party and he got blackout drunk and passed out on our couch, we covered him in our Packers blanket and took a picture and posted it on Facebook, tagging him. His friends were extremely pissed with him.

Even if you think Stafford is average, I think you have to keep him around if you want any prayer of attracting free agents without paying overinflated amounts for them. Plus, keeping people coming to games.

Flikken posted:Stafford is not Average though, he has produced a lot pretty consistently throughout his career. He hasn't been below 4000 yards passing since 2010 and throws more touchdowns than turnovers. That is worth a lot in this league, if you have him you hold onto him until he becomes a liablity. Oh I agree, I'm just saying that the Lions have p much no choice but to pay him a ton because of the situation.

I'm p. sure that's a hoax you guys.quote:"That Gigantocervix is in fact extinct has been questioned by those who believe it survives as the Yeti of the Himalayas and the Sasquatch of the north-west American coast. But the evidence for these creatures is not convincing." But the Gigantocervix's enormous neck-mass would have made it difficult for it to adopt a bipedal gait. It is far more likely that it would be a quadrupedal grazer, akin to Odocoileus virginianus or Giraffa camelopardalis.

Tomorrow, we have a chance to pull ahead in the all-time record for the Bears-Packers rivalry - for the first time since 1932. Most of my childhood had the Bears demolishing the Packers, year in and year out. My bloodlust has not yet been satiated.

We have a decent amount of good players on the defense. Mike Daniels is amazing, Clay Matthews still is a force, Clinton-Dix is solid, as is Nick Perry, and Kenny Clark is coming along nicely. The problem is a combination of always being racked by injuries, which results in anywhere from 2-5 new players being thrown into the Dom Capers Scheme, which only seems to work with completely healthy players in even-numbered months if it's a leap year. Just a gut punch, timing wise, as even if Hundley is good, the rest of the team is so banged up he has little chance to shine.

I like King, I think he'll be fine. Randall may eventually pull his head out of his rear end. CB seems like the hardest spot to project as far as how they do, so many first round busts at the position. I went through some of the 2013 draft threads, some gems in there - all the Chiefs fans making GBS threads on Kelce, all the Steelers fans making GBS threads on Bell, one Packers fan with a Lacy avatar all giddy that we didn't draft Lacy with the first round pick, the Vikings trading a fuckton to the Patriots to get Patterson, while the Patriots pass up on Keenan Allen to draft Dobson. Hindsight makes those threads incredible.

It'd take him 3+ weeks to learn the offense, McCarthy is notoriously stubborn about having people who know the system, and we need to know for the future whether or not Hundley can play well. 2 weeks is not a legit sample size. Aaron Rodgers sucked for a decent while before getting to MVP status, you need to have reps against legit defenses to improve. There is a 0.000000% chance we sign Kaepernick, and the vast majority of the reasons for that have nothing to do with racism. We don't do a read-option offense, we do timing routes with improv secondary reads that rely on long-term chemistry between qb and receiver. Even if Hundley went down, we'd go right to Callahan, because he has more experience in the offense. In order to succeed w Kaep, you need an offense tailored to fit his skillset, and the GB offense is like the opposite of that. Our o-line can't block well enough for it, and we don't have big body receivers. It's a total no-go, discussing it is ridiculous. Besides, on the one in a million chance we did, the actual test to tell a True USA Patriotic Fan wouldn't be burning their worthless stock, it would be for them to give up their place in the season ticket line.

Play posted:I was watching some tape of the Vikings today trying to figure out why Keenum is looking so good (besides having a talented offensive roster around him, which is certainly the main reason). He's had some standout games with other teams, but being on the Jeff Fisher Rams will make any QB look terrible. Glad to see he's escaped. Whoever the Vikings o-line coach is deserves some major award, though. That line was straight trash two years ago, and now it seems like the one of the top lines in the league. I'm sure ditching Kalil helped a bit.

It kinda seems like every team has had to deal with that this year, though. OL seems more about depth than talent these days. The Raiders were actually using Marshall Newhouse at LT in MNF, and I figured that was immediately game over.

Good Will Hrunting posted:i need help figuring out why i keep posting here We've had one or two down seasons in the last 25 years. You're in a thread with fans of 3 teams that have won a combined one Super Bowl between them, and have suffered far more horrific losses than any of our fluky poo poo like the Fail Mary, Seattle choke, SB against Denver, 4th and 26, the Jerry Rice non-fumble, or the 2011 postseason. For every one of those awful times they've had far worse. Yeah, we've missed out on some windows for greatness - we missed out on nabbing Randy Moss because TT was stupid about it, but in Alternate Universe, Favre sticks around until 2010 and we trade Rodgers for a bag of peanuts to some franchise that actually has a defense and goes on to steamroll everyone. We've let FA guys walk that become pro-bowlers. We have Dom Capers. poo poo happens. If you're posting on a board with fans of other teams, and you're a fan of a team that has had constant success, complaining is going to be met by the Four Yorkshiremen-style takedowns. It happens to Pats fans, Steelers fans, etc. - it's a part of it. Part of all sports. Literally every division in the NFL has a team that hasn't won a Super Bowl. It's not like Wisconsinites can't do the same with other sports. gently caress, I do it all the time in baseball or basketball arguments. And we don't even have a pro hockey team. You know how easy and cathartic it is to go poo poo on a Cubs fan who's whining because they didn't win back-to-back world series, when the Brewers churn through their regular cycle of 'come close, fail, trade away talent, give you hope for next year with Young Development'? It's the same thing. You know how awesome it would be to have people making GBS threads on Brewers posters complaining because our 5th consecutive WS title wasn't a sweep? Let 'em taunt, let 'em give you poo poo - it means your team is actually doing something. It's when they get quiet that you know your team is in deep poo poo.

Pettine is solid, he's been good when given good players on defense (Jets, Bills) and average to below average when given poo poo players (Browns). His last season with the Browns is mildly worrying, but I can't name a major defensive player on that unit outside of Haden.
