Would prefer that you’re AOTC, but if you’re not, it’s ok.
Rumors Urban Meyer already wants out of the NFL. Epically bad hire. Worse than Nagy, by a lot.
Why do owners keep hiring college coaches, almost none of them work out.
-
Urban to USC?
Would not surprise me.
-
Why the fuck did he take that terrible job in the first place?
-
Money, location, greatest rookie QB prospect since Elway. Prestige.
-

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Urban Meyer is worth $35 million. His contract with the Jaguars is undisclosed, but it's reported he asked for $12 million per year.
-
Jesus what a waste of money.
-
That loss was as Giants as it gets. Great game though.
-
The end was entertaining due to the general ineptitude of both squads.
-
It was a hell of a game. The last penalty marred it.
-
Great Sunday night game. Also, Cowboys/Chargers was pretty friggin' good.

I wonder how many “best QB prospect since Elway”s there have been since Elway.

That was funny, So was the Tucker Carlson COVID booster shot story right under it.

I throw this match on the fire....I heard yesterday that Belicheck has a .500 record as a coach when his QB is not named Brady....

Under .500, I believe. At least according to this: https://www.abcactionnews.com/sports/belichick-without-tom-brady-will-define-head-coaches-legacy which doesn't include his 1-1 start this year. So I think he's 54-60.
He was 221-67 with Brady.
This article says 61-72: https://musketfire.com/2021/02/26/patriots-tom-brady-bill-belichick-debate-worth-arguing/
Who knows which is right.
-

I'm a huge John Elway fan and always have to laugh when I hear that comparison
the only guy to live up to it has been Payton Manning
but I'd say at least a baker's dozen
and in all honesty I think Burrow will be a stud if he ever gets away from that train wreck of a franchise
-
Off the top of my head: Manning, Stafford, Luck, Cam, Winston, Goff were all guys who were talked about like generational prospects coming out of college. It seems like there's one every other year or so.

Yep. I think a lot of that is hype, possibly coming from people wanting to see how much teams will throw in trade for the no. 1 pick. I don't know why anyone falls for it anymore.
-

Minus the Bears, the prime time games have been great so far lol
-
You need to ask Tempo. He's the curator here.
Tempo, what do you think? Or better question, what do you know?
ARE!!!
I guess the truce is over.
-

Couldn’t say, but I can’t remember any other than Lawrence.
-
I take that back. Andrew Luck. Other than that, don’t remember a lot of Elway comparisons.

Wtf Hobbs! 😡

Wtf guys get a gd Uber
-
Guess he’s never heard of Henry Ruggs…
-
Any Raider dumb enough to get a DUI in the same season 2.5 months removed from Henry Ruggs’ should be cut.
-
Yeah and Josh Jacobs also got one a year ago on the same team. These guys are plain ignorant.
-
Don’t get me wrong, getting a DUI is always bad and stupid; but getting one on the Raiders shortly after the Henry Ruggs tragedy is off the charts stupid.

Prosecutors said Hobbs’ blood-alcohol level was ... under the DUI legal limit in Nevada of 0.08%.

It appears Brian Daboll may not be the genius of this Bills offense and/or Josh Allen.
Just thought it might be interesting to see what he does in New York without Ken Dorsey who Allen definitely wanted to stay and has been working with for 3 years.

Brian Flores suing the NFL. Putting his own career at risk. Includes crazy texts from Belichick, who apparently thought he was texting Daboll.
Not sure how strong the case will be.

That text string is hilarious though.

Read the first couple of pages of Flores' complaint....wow. Just one Molotov Cocktail after another. He won't be getting an NFL job anytime soon.

Or a college job ?

So the passing game coordinator/QB coach for the Chiefs Kafka is getting the OC job with the Giants. Man I can’t believe Eric Bieniemy didn’t even get a sniff at a HC position.

If I was looking for a case to be made, EB wouldn't be it. He's got baggage that doesn't get talked about much but will certainly find the light of day if needed.
-
Who is going to watch this USFL crap?
Instead of doing this in the spring and summer, which has never worked, why not try it on TWF nights during the NFL season?

Amari Cooper appears to be released by Cowboys for financial reasons in late March according to ESPN. He’d be a nice addition to the Bears for the right price. Will probably require more than they have or are willing to pay.
-
Damn. So much for the Bears inquiry into him. 😂

Russell Wilson traded to the Broncos for Drew Lock and a probably a shitload of picks. Whoa.
Rodgers staying in GB on a 4 year deal. :( Highest paid player in league history.
-
Funny that Denver got a 4th round pick as well. Lol
“We need a little something else.”
Here’s a 4th rounder.
-
Denver is blowing up! 2 1sts, 2 2nds, a 5th and 3 players. Did not have to give up any of their hi-end young skill players. Noah Fant and Drew Lock have been busts and Shelby Harris is overpaid.
Beats the hell out of the Mack trade!
-
Assuming Wilson’s poor play in the 2nd half of the season was injury related and not age-related regression, I’d say it’s a reasonable trade for Denver.
-
Beats the hell out of the Mack trade!
Oh oh.
-
Seahawks release Bobby Wagner. Let the rebuilding begin in Seattle.
-
Colts trade Carson Wentz and a 2nd round pick to the Commanders for two 3rd round picks and a 2nd round pick.
Wentz is an upgrade over the shit QBs they were trotting out there for sure. Still don’t think this really moves the needle for them though.
-
Seeing that DeShaun Watson to Pittsburgh looks likely.

Yeah same. That franchise definitely supports and likes them some rapists!
-
Yeah I definitely don’t see the Commanders/Wentz marriage lasting long.
Keefer paints a picture of a quarterback who was basically never liked or respected from the second he showed up in Indianapolis. "Over the course of the year, some grew frustrated at what they deemed a lack of leadership, a resistance to hard coaching and a reckless style of play, which had a role in several close losses this year." Other than that Mrs. Lincoln? But there's more. "The quarterback, who learned he was on shaky ground with the organization over the last month, reached out to owner Jim Irsay in hopes of setting up a meeting to 'clear the air,' a source said. But Irsay declined the meeting." Yikes. These are the exact kind of things that were said about Wentz his final days in Philadelphia. He frankly sounds unpleasant to work with. It is impossible to see how this will work in the league's most dysfunctional organization in Washington. Best of luck, "Commanders" fans.

No reasonable offer refused.

Trubisky gonna be QB1 for the Steelers it appears.

Not saying much, but he is an upgrade over Mason Rudolph. If I were a QB desperate team, I’d be ok letting Trubisky compete, but I definitely wouldn’t make him my clear franchise QB.
-
Did Trubisky take a single snap last year? I feel like all of the Trubisky love is based on nothing.
He might be able to play, but he had a lot of snaps/games as a Bear (granted under Nagy), but there is a sample size. I feel like any shot taken on him is huge risk.
-
I would have been ok with Christian Kirk on the Bears but at 84 million?
Nah fuck that. Glad they didn't bite on this one.

I wondered why he signed with Jax. Then I saw the number.

All of a sudden Rodger’s receiving corps is almost as bad as the Bears’.
-
Watson finally traded to the Browns for three first rounders(and Mayfield?)
The reports said they were out of the running it was down to the Saints and Falcons. The Browns must have sweetened their offer.
-
Looks like Mayfield’s going to Indy.
JuJu signs with the Chiefs. Another Bears receiver target off the board.

That Watson contract is crazy in more ways than one.

Still doesn’t fix the damage from a father denying that you’re his child and trying to hide you with money. That’s fucking terrible. Get the paternity test done Jerry. Pretty simple if you ask me. Shun your daughter because well, basically you didn’t want her, so he paid to make it go away. Then attacks her with his lawyers. Fuck him.

How do you know she's damaged? Maybe not being raised by Jerry Jones was the best thing for her.

Cuz she apparently wants a relationship with him and for him to admit that she’s his daughter. It’s mind-boggling how he does all that for her yet can’t admit that she’s his daughter. Embarrassing really.
That could very well be true. He doesn’t appear to be a very good dude.
