i hope olsen doesn't give a gently caress on sunday

Does "broadcaster" mean for sure in the booth? Like Terry Bradshaw is a "broadcaster," no?

It seems more likely that Romo was directed to dumb his commenting down rather than him becoming lazy and losing his enthusiasm for strategy in footbawwww.

It was so tight when he had that tactical commentary.

Yeah. It always came across to me like some higher up told Romo the A-team color guy is supposed to play a pivotal role in developing the brands of the superstar QBs. It's why he has such clumsy nonsense like calling Josh Allen "The Alien" or "Mr. January" all the time.

Collinsworth and Gruden "now here's a guy…" esque.

I don't really see QBR as inherently dumber than EPA, DVOA, PFF grades, or any other opaque metric that gets shared in chart form around here.

QBR tries to include "clutch", which..yeah. PFF grades are basically just as bad or worse since we know it's just random interns locked in a room with their eyes taped open

EPA is just straight up math based off historical scoring data. Whether you like it or not its way less hokey than the other two

I still don't know how EPA is calculated (like, actual formulas) and I don't know why using historical data for a stat invented over 50 years ago in a constantly changing sport is somehow more reputable than one that incorporates a modifier for performance in high leverage situations.

They're all dumb.

Okay fair enough, I thought EPA was proprietary.

2 weeks before the Superbowl is just dire.

It really feels like the season is already over. When the Super Bowl comes it feels like a weird one off.

Perhaps CMC should have taken his own role as QB3 more seriously.

What is the "third QB rule" exactly? Teams are allowed to still activate three quarterbacks on game day if they choose to, aren't they?

Kalli posted:

Yes, there used to be an old rule, dropped sometime in the last decade or so, that you were allowed a 3rd QB who wasn't on your active roster, who could come into the game, but if he did before the 4th quarter, your other QB's couldn't come back into the game.

Note that in this case we'd be talking about a dude worse then Josh Johnson, so farrrrrtttttt

Yeah I don't remember that at all, likely because it has never, ever affected the outcome of a game ever.

If only Brent DiNunzio was allowed to enter the game!

I got mixed up and thought you were talking about Ben DiNucci for a second here, and...bless that man for trying. He did a whole Mahomes pass while I'm convinced having less arm strength than I do.

I mean it didn't work, but he tried it.

Oh no, that was exactly who I meant, heh. Shame on me for butchering his name.

e: lol even Collinsworth couldn't stifle his laughter.

It's a slog but I think giving both teams a sort of bye and letting them get a bit healthier is a good thing for the game.
