    It looks like he will fit right in on Ron's staff.

     

    Jim Caldwell winning over Colts fans by canning Russ Purnell

    "Caldwell has already won me over. I reserve judgment on how affective he is when it comes to winning, but as a person he has conveyed strength, intelligence, humor, and a willingness to be his own person. Caldwell is not Tony Dungy-lite. Caldwell is Caldwell, and nothing made that point stronger than his recent "firing" of long-time special teams coach Russ Purnell yesterday. Well, it wasn't really a firing, per say. Purnell's contract was up, and they just decided not to renew it. But, it certainly feels like a firing. Tip to jumunjis.

    Yes folks, Russ Purnell is now finally gone. Permit me to sing a tribute to Russ's departure from West 56th Street:

     

     

    I will give Purnell some credit for improving the Colts kick and punt coverage this season. DVOA ranked coverage near the top of the league, but I think that had more to do with Adam Vinatieri getting in great shape and booming his kickoffs. Also, adding Pierre Garcon, Buster Davis, and Marcus Howard to the mix helped. Throughout Purnell's tenure as special teams coach, the Colts always hovered between mediocre and awful despite the fact they drilled special teams play all the time. In training camp, there were entire practices in the afternoon dedicated to special teams. Yet, despite all the work, the unit marginally improved.

    Most of us have been begging the Colts to fire Purnell for years, but the rumor out of Indy was that Dungy couldn't do it because of loyalty. Dungy never liked to fire coaches, especially coaches he was close to. But in Purnell's case it was loyalty to a fault. Unlike Dungy, Caldwell seems to have no problem dumping bad or ineffective coaches. Thus, Purnell is gone."

    sometimes timing is everything, hope this is one of those times.(see Bruce Arians)

  2. Physics never were good with a turn of phrase or being arbitrary.  Physics says no two different things can be the same thing at the same time in the same space.  Language, however, laughs at that and uses the same words and gives multiple meanings and uses.  Hence by saying worms cant go back in to the can, a metaphor has just been used to illustrate that once a thing has been said, it can not be unsaid.(in this particular context of course)

     

    eg:

     

    Grammatically correct.

     

    Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. 

    either way the use of A and B etc is still available which was the pt. So yes,metaphorically speaking, we can put the worms back into the can.

  3. But we didnt do that did we?

     

    cant put the worms back in the can after its been opened.

     

    there is another thread that did it but w/ only 2 QB's. Yes we can still compare by stats and wins and PO wins and SB's without naming names.who says you cant put worms back in a can? I just have never actually seen a can of worms but physics say yes you can put them back in.

     

  4. I dont understand the rules here.

     

    Some QBs get consideration for their whole career.

     

    Some are ranked because of SB success.

     

    There is nothin uniform about these ranks.

     

     

    There are:

    Active all time list

    Active SB winners list

    Active stat leaders list

    Active games won list

     

    They all are different.  You can not mix them together.

     

    If you rank Brady first then you must be using either the SB list or the All-time list.  Neither of which is an accurate way to rank Cams achievements.

     

    Be careful when you rank QBs.  Your heart will lie to you.  And pick one list and stick to it.

     

    I think everyone's perspective changes if we use QB-A and QB-B etc in these discussions.

     

  5. Wrong. I actually had KB in my re-draft right after the draft concluded lol. 

     

    You are confusing me arguing his limitations with ppl trying to compare him to megatron and other WRs. 

     

    KB can make for a great possession / redzone WR. However, he has to improve those hands first. 

     

    he cant argue the facts so he attacks. so says Johnny Cochrane.
