I hate OUR WINDOW IS CLOSING panic moves 99% of the tine, but if Houston doesn't jump on a FA QB then it needs to be burned to the ground. I mean, if the humidity will allow it.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:Yet Cutler is exactly the kind of guy who gets FO's and coaches fired. Bad enough to throw games away, good enough to not be a scapegoat. I'm always amused at how much angst Cutler causes wherever he goes. He's been exactly the same player his entire career, and his efficiency stats always hang around the league average +/- a small margin, but everyone gets super outraged that he's not something different from what he's always been.

The question isn't if trading the farm for a Patriots backup QB is smart. The question is if any team is stupid enough to do it. (Looks around the NFL) Um...

There are teams that would benefit A LOT from league average or so QB play in place of tire fire QB play. The problem with Cutler is expecting him to be an Aaron Rodgers "carry the team on his back every week" kind of guy. He's not ever gonna be that guy. Play decent defense, run the ball a decent amount and let him huck play-action bombs to somebody worth a crap and you'll do fine though.

weird Asian candy posted:He's so weird though because you think he should be able to benefit a team a lot...but I just don't know how much. He isn't even .500 for his career. He isn't going to outright win you any games like you said, but he sure could lose some for you with his bone headed decisions. The Bears fielded a lot of pure rear end teams during his time there. An elite QB might have dragged them to the playoffs, but anyone short of that level was probably boned for the most part anyway. 2009 - poo poo receivers, poo poo defense 2010- OL is a war crime, still poo poo receivers, defense is good 2011 - Receivers are still all absolute garbage, defense is average 2012 - HOLY poo poo BRANDON MARSHALL, good defense, went 10-6 2013 - HOLY poo poo TWO REAL RECEIVERS but unfortunately 30th ranked defense so whelp 2014 - Defense is an atrocity again 2015 - Defense is just bad instead of incredibad, receivers gone or dead and run game fell off a cliff while Cutler has his most efficient passing season anyway 2016 - Cutler sacked at terrifying rate, receivers mostly dead again, defense bad, got hurt.

Kalli posted:Going from Alex Smith to Tony Romo seems like a pretty dangerous risk. Romo is a gamble you take when the alternative is getting fired because all your QBs are certified trash. You don't replace someone OK with Romo. You replace a tire fire in the hopes he lives long enough to win your enough games to have a job in 2018.

How good Romo is now is honestly a mystery. He's old and had multiple major injuries over the last few seasons. And he was sorta of garbage when he did play in 2015, throwing 7 picks in 4 starts. Could he party like it's 2014 in 2017? Maybe. Could he roll over and die the second his center farts on his hands? Maybe. Put another way, peak Romo was way better than Tannehill ever was... but I don't see how you can just assume he can still be that guy. sean10mm fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Feb 24, 2017 |

The Hackenberg pick was one of the most nonsensical I've seen. He looked genuinely lovely in college. Like, Weeden looked better playing college football than Hack did, for gently caress's sake, and he was just a 50 year old pitcher blindly chucking it 50 times a game Here are his ranks in JUST THE BIG 10 in 2015: Passing efficiency rating: #8 Yards per attempt: #8 Passing yards: #9 Passing touchdowns: #6 Completion %: #9 LOL

I suspect the Patriots trade Garoppolo for whatever the best deal is by the draft, unless the offers aren't significantly better than the comp pick he'll fetch if he walks after 2017.

latinotwink1997 posted:So $15m for the GOAT while Andrew luck gets nearly $25m? That's $10m extra they have for paying other players while still having the GOAT. I don't know how they'd enforce something like that, but it does seem to give an advantage to them. Brady is also like 12 years older than Luck. That's a crazy age disparity in the NFL. In 99% of the circumstances you'd expect the 40 year old to be paid way less than the 28 year old in the NFL no matter how good they were the year before because you'd normally assume their career collapse is imminent. There is kinda no way to legislate against that. Brady could probably get a 1 year deal for some insane sum from like half the teams in the league, absolutely - but nobody with even half a brain would give him a much longer deal that's also for elite money. Even if he has Favre's literally unprecedented durability he's only got one more top season before he hits the wall.

I don't think there is much actual evidence that slaveowners in the antebellum South - who were largely Southern Baptists with no grasp of genetics or even evolutionary theory - were pursuing an consistent program of selective breeding across multiple generations of slaves. It just seems like a stretch to think that people whose entire argument for slavery was "God said so because look at Bible verse mumble mumble" were also running this big eugenics enterprise across multiple generations. Especially since they were breaking up families and shuffling the people between owners willy-nilly to pay off their gambling debts or whatever. Also, kind of important, they were raping the women on an unknown but probably massive scale. Which of course throws a huge monkey wrench into the whole selective breeding idea by throwing random human garbage white people genes into the mix at random. vvv Yup. sean10mm fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Mar 3, 2017 |

The "make two big people sex" idea doesn't explain how black people dominate in sports everywhere from 5'5" to 7'+ and like 140-400 lbs or something. There is no common thread there unless you're appealing to some kind of magical sci-fi conspiracy poo poo where they're breeding in some extra tendons over 200 years or some poo poo.

Because money for these guys isn't the problem, but trading away valuable picks is. Like everything else involving the Patriots, it's hard to really know what they're thinking here. Do they seriously expect a high 1st rounder +++ for him? Are they just throwing out ridiculous demands on the off chance somebody will overpay out of stupidity? Do they even want to move him at all? If I had my way they'd just dump him for whatever they could get, but I'm less sure that's their plan than I was a month ago.  e: Kalli posted:Same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSZfUnCK5qk
