Kawalimus posted:We're screwed against the Chiefs regardless because Harbaugh is badly outcoached by Reid every single time. Engaging with you is never a good idea, but in the Lamar Jackson era: Took the Chiefs to overtime before they even got a real chance to install an offense for Lamar. Highly competitive Badly outcoached once

sweet thursday posted:The 16/17 game divide is going to be a huge issue for future stats nerds. As a stat nerd I was wondering what OJ would have done with 16 games long ago my friend. It would have been very brutal, both on the field and with everyone to this day having to note the unrepentant murderer's single season rushing record. So, in the end I welcome more games from a stats standpoint just in case something like that comes up again.

Toolsiest guy on that list might be Dilfer?...??? Just awful drafting and signings all around. Oh...missed the original Couch, he was the guy who should have worked out but didn't.

sean10mm posted:Random question, what Super Bowl had the most bad blood between the two teams? Usually there isn't any because it's AFC vs NFC and there aren't a lot of cross-conference blood feuds. Steelers/Cards of all matchups got heated in game at least, but that's mostly because James Harrison is an insane person. I would imagine the Bills didn't like the Cowboys back in the 90s, but I don't remember any fights or anything. And the Cowboys didn't have to care really.

I've seen a few bitter chiefs fans pop up on the Bucs feed but that's about it. Different feeds at work here is what's going on I'd imagine. No one other than the truly depraved homer fans care too much one way or the other with this. But they're the loud ones that you notice.

sean10mm posted:Vick wouldn't have gone into the hall even without the dogfighting thing because he was never actually that good as an NFL quarterback. He was overrated before he was controversial because of SportsCenter highlights and 99 SPEED IN MADDEN or whatever, and now is overrated from nostalgia for the vague memory of those things. I think if he'd hooked up with Andy Reid off the bat he would have had a chance. His first few head coaches were Dan Reeves for part of a year, Wade Phillips (bless him but he isn't going to develop a quarterback) and Jim freaking Mora. That's a recipe to ruin a talented quarterback before we get into the legal stuff. e: Kubiak's an interesting thought, easy system to play and based heavily on rolling out. He'd have a very fast man rolling out in theory. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Sep 6, 2021 |

We also have eyes and imaginations and we're just talking what ifs here. He's nowhere near a hall of famer based on his career, but that release on his throw along with everything else had he learned how to actually play QB earlier--which he's admitted he never bothered with until he got to Philly--is scary. As an aside I don't think most of this forum will ever disrespect QB Eagles. Who was also incredibly screwed over by coaching early on.

tarbrush posted:I don't think it's the protection that's the issue, it's the amount of times that he extends the play into the "treated as a runner" ruleset. This may be an insignificant distinction because the result is the same. But my interpretation is that he doesn't do that this much, when he decides to run he runs (and frustratingly is willing to lower a shoulder into someone too often). The problem is he's willing to backpedal forever in an effort to extend plays, then runs around the backfield dodging guys. We're really saying the same thing in different ways, he should still be a quarterback until he takes off in theory but it doesn't matter much because he's gonna eat hits.

Ches Neckbeard posted:The stalemate continues I still don't understand the decision making here. Yeah I get it there are no good answers and Watson is a valuable asset despite being a trash person who doesn't want anything to do with the Texans but... It seems like you'd either go full speed ahead and start him or suspend him either way instead of this. If you suspend him other teams will remember he's good at football should he stay available. Putting him on the scout team and benching him doesn't seem worse than suspension for his future trade price. Doing the NFL a solid for future consideration and making it so Goodell doesn't have to weigh in just yet? Is there some procedural reason they can't suspend him?

socketwrencher posted:So getting to the Super Bowl and coming close to winning with Garapolo is more about Shanahan/coaching/rest of the team than Jimmy? He's somewhere in the good but not great range when healthy. That was the single year out of four in SF he's stayed healthy is the problem, and the not great thing makes you want to look for Trey Lance I guess? I mean if he were available about half the teams in the league should kick the tires on him and sign him if he doesn't immediately fall down. e: I do agree that Niners team was stacked though

Forrest on Fire posted:Jaguars, only for the fact that Urban can't possibly sustain success and it'd be like a Chip Kelly thing. Urban was never as hands on with his offense as Chip was, so I'm betting against this. I mean you'd be looking for Darrell Bevell and Brian Schottenheimer to get things done for the most part. And the way Urban won in college is less innovative to the NFL than Chip's offense was when he showed up. On the pro side of this idea they do have a QB who you can ask to do just about anything and he's capable of it, 4 to 5 winnable games against division competition (if the Titans die too along the way for the fifth), and luck. So maybe.
