Mr. Scot

Bill Callahan is now freeto come on as a consultant to help with OL coaching (I honestly hadn't heard that his son was fired by the Titans till today)

No argument on that. I hate those rules. Feels like they've contributed to more injuries since their implementation. Also hated lengthening the season past sixteen games but here we are.

I really want to hope that the Corbett-Center experiment is over.

Even with Brady factored in, The Patriots still built good teams. At least up till Belichick started screwing it up. I'd add though that the "superstar" formula, while it mostly centers around quarterbacks, isn't strictly limited to them. Best nkn-QB example is probably the Barry Sanders Lions. They never had (or never spent) the money It would have taken to build the kind of OL that would have made Sanders even more productive than he already was.

No argument

That may end up being his ceiling. Still unsettled for me...

This is wrecking havoc

Not difficult at all. Newton was eccentric too, but he was a lot better quarterback than Williams.

Learning how much you don't know is a good step. It's kind of similar with coaches, personnel people, executives, etc. We all want the guy who ran a successful team to be part of our organization. He was a winner there, so it's guaranteed he'll also be a winner here... Right? Then we get him, and he stinks. What the heck? That can't be right Bottom Line: a professional football organization is a machine that has about a kajilloon moving parts, and for all of them to work together successfully and harmoniously can sometimes be borderline miraculous. It's real people, the same kind that work at your job. And people complicate everything.

I was not a fan of Cole Spencer, but team brass seemed to believe in him. Hell, they promoted him. And then this year, they parted ways with him Brandt Tilis? Unknown. Regardless, I've been hoping for us to bring in a true leader in that department. Hope it happens soon.

Someone to whom a lot of us owe an apology. He was right about Matt Rhule. PS: Love the "Clausen to Newton" scale

Okay, not that last one I meant the last two paragraphs of actual analysis but I should have been more clear about that.

Still uncertain... Can he play in the NFL? Yes, he can. Can he win games? Yes, he can. Do you have to build the right team around him? Of course you do, same as you do any other quarterback. (the idea that's somehow a weakness is silly) At the very least this qualifies him to be a quality backup. But is he a long term franchise quarterback? I'm not fully confident enough to say that yet, but he's at least trending upward. And I'll take that for now...

It comes off as maybe a joke, but maybe not. Might mean nothing, but it's not easy to say that for certain given all the other chatter.
