rex-n-effect

I'm not going to say I didn't love 2009 and 2010 with him here but you're almost certainly getting 2011+ out of him which is one huge reason why nobody has given him another shot. A return of sexy rexy is not the answer but Gase needs to go.

He might be better than Gase but yikes that is not saying much. I don't study Seattle's offense but from what I've seen it doesn't have that Schotty feel that every play requires reenacting a scene from West Side Story before throwing a three yard pass. My guess is Carroll either sat him down and straightened him out or massages all of that out of the playbook every year. Either way what they are doing works so I guess he deserves the credit for being able to work in more than one playoff-appearing team.

I'm not sure if Darnold is better than an ok QB when surrounded by a good team in the mold of Sanchez. I am far more confident that no matter what his ceiling might be he's never going to get there with Gase running the team. JD can't fire Gase but he should absolutely be making the case to the Johnsons that they need to move on and step number one is to start courting his replacement early in the season.

I've tried to be optimistic about Darnold but he looks terrible. He's surrounded by lackluster talent and the coaching is awful but for somebody drafted as high as he was we should be seeing some kind of production out of him.

If the season doesn't go well and JD can find an interested replacement then Gase is probably gone. It doesn't seem like JD has any real connection to Gase or Gase's system. Tannehill's performance away from Gase should have JD's eyes open to other candidates. Darnold I can't see leaving unless he has a truly awful season. He's 23 with one year on the contract after this. Makes a lot more sense to have him play the last year and give it his all to see if he has what it takes. Next year's draft will say it all about his future with the team.

Adams is trying to take advantage of the fact that he wants to be in DAL, DAL wants or wanted him, and he's coming off his strongest year of performance. Of course he's out there trying to capitalize on his opportunity. Unless Adams is seen as instrumental to the defense, which seems unlikely given the draft, it makes sense to trade him if a good deal is available. The best thing Joe D can do is try to incite a bidding war to get the best deal possible this offseason. If DAL wants him maybe some other team wants him a little more. Let Adams and his agent pump him up and then reap the rewards. The worst that comes of this is Adams stays on his contract. He might hold out for a while but if his goal is to get a better contract or move somewhere else then he can't risk having a bad year or sit out a lot and have his value plummet.

Those surreal color schemes are popular across entertainment right now and widespread high def TVs in homes means playing up that aspect. The color scheme and design might look less impressive in a still photo but will create a more vibrant viewing experience with the game.

If Rodgers was like four years younger I absolutely would because that would be four years the team could build around a proven QB that good players want to come play with. Darnold remains unproven and I am not sure Gase is going to get there on development. Darnold could end up being another Pennington for us (in terms of overall production) which would also not be terrible for building up the team but not quite the franchise QB we hoped for.

I could see leagues working hard to get games played by the fall even if the stadiums are empty so they can keep revenue from TV contracts but on the other hand I am a lot less certain the players' unions will agree to have them play without enormous concessions.

Hard to imagine the third round pick wasn't meant to allow the team to lose Maye or Adams and move on. As pretty much everybody has said Mehta isn't reliable and the pick could have easily been a way for the team to avoid Adams holding the team hostage in negotiations or because they know one of them definitely intends not to re-sign with the team. There are a lot of other reasons why they drafted that have to do with the future of the position over the next year or two. It seems among the probable reasons that getting rid of Maye before even a single day of training camp for a new draft pick is among the least likely.

Normally my wife and I buy in the store but we have been buying through an app for Kroger (or whatever name they go by in your area) during quarantine. I like being able to see the quality of produce and meat before buying it and sometimes supermarkets have really terrible quality meat and produce. I've been placing meat and produce orders through a couple local farmer's markets that deliver but I am going to have to break down for the first time since we went into quarantine and hit a butcher shop and supermarket to make purchases this weekend.

2015 was a fun year in a decade without many good years but there is no need to over or undersell what it was. We had some good pieces on the roster and Geno losing a game of real life rockem sockem robots turned the team over to Fitz who had a career year. Coaching sucked across most of the season and good play made up for coaching deficiencies. A lot fell in the right direction but plenty fell against the team too. The team was no juggernaut but the team played hard most of those games and it showed. It was unfortunate that 2015 was a year when a 10-6 record did not lock a wildcard.

This is some premature bedwetting about the next season.

The most entertaining thing in this thread is people referring to wrestling as a sport.
