Every time that game gets brought up I relive that moment. Were you able to still laugh at what just happened at least? If not...you must've lost a shitload of money. Reminds me that one of my instructors in college lost over $500 on the TB-OAK Super Bowl because of that last pick six. E: wooo, new page

My wife missed out on $500 from having the 9-9 point square during the CAR-NE superbowl when Kasay honked the kickoff out of bounds, allowing NE to drive minimal yards to have Vinatieri boot it through with 4 seconds left. I also missed out on Janet Jackson flashing during halftime, as I went to the kitchen for a beer. It was a bad Super Bowl all around.

CannonFodder posted:If those were the years that Favre was hitting the Oxys real hard then that's not a surprise. He probably cleaned up for games but wasn't 100% for practice if you know what I mean. Favre's public painkiller thing was way back in 1996, which happens to be his Super Bowl year. Not saying it didn't happen again of course, but that's the one the blew up into a big story.

The Browns could have traded away the number one pick and put your theory to the test but I don't think anyone hates the Browns enough to have wanted them to do that. I'm glad the 49ers didn't take the bait either. And didn't he only start two games for that matter? King Hong Kong fucked around with this message at 06:47 on May 2, 2017 |

Favre in 2006 was a pain in the rear end. Mike Sherman had let him do whatever he wanted for however many years. By the time Mike McCarthy was hired, Favre was demanding to skip training camp or else threatening to retire. I remember a game, I think in Seattle, when Favre and McCarthy were on the sidelines just screaming at each other in the rain. By that point, no one could tell Favre what to do, and McCarthy hates dumb mistakes. Drafting Aaron Rodgers was a combination of luck/disbelief that he had fallen so far in the draft and wanting to light a fire under Favre or else move on. I'm pretty sure part of Rodgers having such an amazingly high QB rating and TD:INT ratio throughout his career was McCarthy drilling into him the importance of not doing dumb poo poo in direct response to Favre. Everyone loves it when Favre did dumb poo poo and it worked out. But then, he also has the record for the most interceptions thrown in the playoffs, and the most interceptions thrown in a single playoff game. I doubt that 2006-2008 Aaron Rodgers was necessarily *better* than Favre in practice or whatever, but I think it's a sure bet that he was trying harder and responding more to coaching. EDIT: Also, Favre's painkiller was vicodin, and as pointed out, he went into rehab for that in the offseason before their Super Bowl winning season, so I don't think that had anything to do with his last few years in GB.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:It's absurd to draw any conclusions from those five guys, who success or failure were affected by a variety of factors far beyond what their teams gave up to get them. You could expand the sample to the last 40 years and it doesn't get any better (think you end up with about 12 total examples and only 2-3 success) But then I could just say the same--there isn't enough evidence to suggest that trading up is a good idea, either. You just say "it's the most important position on the team, so it must be worth it," and I agree that it's important, but so far we don't have a lot of examples to point to where we'd go "yeah, see, this is why you have to do this." And if you look at the success rate on 1st-round QBs over the same time frame (last 20 years or so), you still find that the trade-up picks underperform compared to 1st-round QBs (in terms of hit rate). It could just be bad luck, but I suspect that the additional costs and expectations placed on a QB that a team traded up to get decreases their chance of success.

Lions picked up Eric Ebron's 5th year option  Definitely glad they did, he's been disappointing as a top ten pick but as a player he's not bad. (granted I'm not sure if he's eight million dollars worth of not bad, but for the moment I'll take what I can get)

Carr wasn't as bad as most of that list, but getting destroyed for a few years behind a line held together by scotch tape and paper clips can gently caress up a QB pretty hard.
