  1. Suspect this has something to do with Steve Young. Young's talking up of Wilson, due to the BYU connection, looks like a bad joke in retrospect. Young is still a respected former player and former ESPN TV guy. It reflects poorly on Young any way you look at it. Young is 62; may not be any more TV jobs in his future, but probably hopes somehow Wilson can at least be a servicable player elsewhere and rehab his own reputation. Probably still has some contacts to kick the tires on Wilson and make things look copasetic, even if nobody wants him.
  2. That $5 million money is for a backup, not some 3rd stringer bouncing between the PS and the roster depending on cap room and the health of the other 2 QBs every week. We may think it's foolish not to have a 3rd QB on the main roster(based on 2023 we already know not having a real #2 is a problem!) , but that's how the NFL is working these days . The typical backups, whether they're on the market or signed, are Wentz, Minshew, Tommy Cutlets, Brissett, White. Wilson isn't in the conversation because he isn't even that good. In fact Wilson's 2023 season is an example of exactly what nobody wants in a backup. No doubt the Rams are out. Mike Lafleur knows Wilson is not a student of the game. Wilson is too dumb to now start living at the team facility and gobbling up game tape. Remember over 3 seasons Wilson was at Florham Park in the offseason only when it was mandated. Been obvious Wilson wasn't the kind of QB and won't happen now. And it's not about being a rich kid; the Mannings, Mahomes, Brady all grew up pretty comfortable, but they never stopped working and learning.
  3. Was kinda hysterical that for all his love of the Pats, they treated him like a venereal infection. Belechick may like talking about NFL history but pegged King out as a jock-sniffing loser. He moved his family from NJ to Boston midcareer and still they treated him like a mushroom.
  4. The atmosphere is more important than the plot and characters. With McCounaghey and Harrleson, that worked. Almost worked with Vaughn and Farrell. This season, all I can much remember is Jodie Foster YELLING. A lot.
  5. Felt like Jodie Foster was told you have to scream at everyone and everything in every situation because this is important, I guess? Big twist at the end that isn't even hinted at felt added on, like they didn't really have a plan to wrap things up. If that's how this all happened, spent 5 episodes nowhere near it.
  6. For the supposed fix; how do you explain away Unitas coming in late in the game and coming kinda close? Wasn't a blowout. One thing the Kreigel book made a big point about; Namath and Unitas were both old school Penn. guys with a lot of pride, and they liked and respected each other. Throwing a game like that wasn't who they were. And the NFL wanted to win that game. Was a chance if the Jets had been blown out the merger was going to be cancelled.
  7. Grown men asking another grown man for an autograph are pathetic losers. There's no value to it. Go grab a cup of coffee and sit by the gate waiting to board your flight like an actual human.
  8. Putting a guy who bangs porn stars in Vegas was a recipe for exactly this kind of disaster. No boundaries, no limits, so sense of being smart.
  9. He started out very well as a broadcaster. But Sunday every sentence was that Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan are super geniuses who's offenses cannot be stopped by mere mortals. And it didn't stop. Nantz, unless his Patriots are playing, always sounds like he's booking his next trip to Augusta or Pebble Beach on his phone while the game is happening and this game is an annoyance.
  10. Also the tight end; an eligible receiver. Who knew?
  11. Bob was out playing 18 holes at the coaches' conference when this was discussed. Birdied 2 dog legs.
  12. Stayed away from this thread as long as I could. As to Chris Johnson making big decisions, was unaware until now the US Ambassador to the Court of St. James had neither a telephone nor internet access. Carrier pigeons? A man who takes advice from a guy with this bad a toupee....words fail me here. Could probably find the photo of his buddy Bowles smiling ear to ear when the Jets, a team then bereft of an offense, picked safeties 1(and then 2!) rather than picking a franchise QB in Mahomes or Watson.
  13. Those who fail at drafting call it a crapshoot, like it's totally random. It's not. Worse a crapshoot isn't random at all. There's 36 specific outcomes which are 100% predictable over time. That one specific outcome might occur on 1 given roll might be random, over time it's completely predictable. Anyone who uses crapshoot as analogy for randomness has 1. never played craps and 2. is an innumerate a-hole. Further, I can tell you from my couch; Christian Hackenberg, who was HATED by everyone at PSU with good reason, was not a NFL QB such you don't pick another one. Picking a F____IN' SAFETY over a QB is beyond idiotic. In fact, picking a safety (or a guard or a kicker) in the 1st or 2nd round when you can sign those positions on the street in free agency or pick one up on Day 2 of the draft is a misallocation of resources. And that little tiny Zach Wilson, playing in a sheetbag conference, was also not a QB. The common denominator in these decisions and the people who made them (and f___ed this franchise up) in Robert Wood Johnson Roman Numerals, noted uniform guy.
